Image Handler 4 enables you to use GD libraries or ImageMagick (if installed on your server) to generate and resize small, medium and large images on the fly on page request.
Now I don't know if either of these are loaded. If they do not exist does that mean that IH4 isn't doing anything in the way of "generate and resize... on the fly"? Also, if they do not exist, and are needed, where does one find them?
Thanks
I look forward to your replies!

BTW, So far this mod is looking exactly like what we need, and not a moment too soon either. Thank You to all that worked on it and made it happen.

Your web host would tell you which of these libraries is installed..
Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
I'm usually pretty good at installing mods and this one seems so simple to install. I can't get it to work though. I've tried and re-tried and re-tried following the readme to the letter.
It's a new site we're building at wholesale.silkblooms.co.uk Could you please take a look at this product for example:
http://wholesale.silkblooms.co.uk/in...products_id=86
Everything works, except for the click to enlarge function. Click to enlarge and it just goes onto a never ending loading.gif
Does anyone have any idea what's causing this?
Zen Cart V1.5
IH V4

Sorry to say, but this is not caused by IH4. Whatever lightbox came with your Template Monstrosity template is the issue and the cause of the never ending loading.gif..

Yup, that's what I though it was to do with the template. I'll have to put this out to freelancers I think. I really NEED IH4 to work, it's the best!

Why not go back to Template Monstrosity and have them fix their template??? (something they always seem LOATHE to do:shocking:) OR better yet, find out from them how you can REMOVE their funky lightbox and install Zen Lightbox which DOES work with IH4
Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
I purchased this from a 3rd party, but I'll contact them. I don't hold out much hope for support from them but I do like the look of the template so if they can't help then I'll put it out to freelance. Now that I know exactly what's required, I'll at least be able to put it to tender in a concise and well informed manner. Thank you for your help. Hopefully a freelancer will be able to modify the Lightbox to work correctly.
I've also noticed that the Image Settings seem to have no effect on the dimensions of the small images, so this will be an add-on to the freelance project :)

The only way this would be the case is if the template has removed or modified Zen Cart's built in image features which IH4 needs to work properly.. I would suggest that versus having your freelancer "fix" this template that you have them simply recreate this template the correct way sans all of the slash and burn coding techniques that Template Monstrosity templates all seem to employ in all of it's templates..
Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
Sorry, but I think I did not communicate correctly. (Happens when I stay up past my bed time.)
What I am actually asking is are either of these REQUIRED to make IH4 fully functional?

Yes........
Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
Thank you. I just verified with the host that GD Libraries are available. Installation on the main site will commence after I've refilled my "water" glass. 8=)
