Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
Excellent post.. let me add this.. To answer the original question "if my image is on the FTP - then why am I selecting from my hard drive the image?" You don't have to do this at all unless you use FTP to upload your main product images to the server. Then you DO still have to link your product images to your products. Otherwise Zen Cart won't know where the images are to display them with the product.
and not to be the detail police, but if you need assistance in how to link your uploaded images to your products this whole topic is really more of a "how to use Zen Cart" question than a how to use IH4 question. So I will say this and ask that if you need further assistance with how to link/upload images in Zen Cart you really do need to create a new forum post/topic to continue that line of discussion: If you are using the Zen Cart interface to create products, it's best that when you create your product you add/upload your main product image at the time you create the product. THEN if you want to use FTP to upload your additional image you can, and so long as they are named following the proper naming conventions for additional product images Zen Cart and IH4 will find and display these additional images.
OR you can do as Script Junkie suggests, use the IH4 admin to upload ALL of your products additional images and you do not have to worry about file naming or FTPing or anything..

1) Look at files on your hard drive and your server at the same time (hard drive files on the left, server files on the right)
2) Transfer files between the hard drive and the server...i.e. upload and download (upload=copy files from hard drive and paste them to the server, download=copy files from the server and paste them to your hard drive)
3) Change file permissions for the files on your server
4) Edit files (This is NOT recommended as it adds a bunch of white space between lines of code - best to use an editing program like Notepad++)
5) Delete files from either the server or your hard drive (although I find it best to do this directly from the hard drive or the server)
6) Rename files on either your hard drive or your server (although I find it best to do this directly from the hard drive or the server)
In short, FTP is merely a TOOL or an INTERFACE between your hard drive and your server. It does not store files like your hard drive and server do.
So to answer your question, there is no real relationship between IH and FTP. FTP merely allows you the opportunity to upload image files to your server, which IH will then manage for you. While this is an option, it is absolutely unnecessary to use FTP to upload your product image files unless you WANT to, because IH has a built in image file uploader. You can upload your primary product image, as well as your additional product images through the IH interface (as you have done). IH will manage those images whether you upload via FTP or via the IH interface.
Having said that...it is MUCH easier to upload image files through the IH interface, because IH will take care of making sure they are all properly named and filed so long as you use it correctly. IH cuts out the ftp middle man, the file naming middle man, the large and medium suffix middle man and pretty much all middle men. IH does ALL the work for you! It's awesome!
Hope that helps :)

I am having trouble finding support for this, I am coming up with error "PHP Warning: strstr() [<a href='function.strstr'>function.strstr</a>]: Empty delimiter in /home7/woodvil1/public_html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 129

Need more information.. the error message without behavior or what you were doing isn't terribly helpful. Otherwise the only thing I can suggest is re-uploading the includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php file.
Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
zencart 1.5 in Bluhost installed via the 1 click install
EP4.0
I just installed the upgrade and it works great exept that when you click on the product, in the main product description the main picture it dosen't show the main product image when I check the property it gives me "http://mazdaproject <dot> com//images/lightbox/lightbox-ico-loading.gif"
images/lightbox/lightbox-ico-loading.gif
I had a problem with EP4.0 it has double "//" insted of a single "/" if that helps.

Dunno what the heck EP 4.0 is, and you don't say that you've installed IH4 (which leads me to believe you have NOT). This is the support thread for Image Handler 4. Your question sounds like somethign unrelated to IH4.
Unless your question is related to issues you are having with IH4, you need to create a new thread and re-post your question.. BTW, the "double slash" sounds like an incorrectly configured configure.php file. Probably as a result of using one of those crappy 1 click installers versus installing Zen Cart yourself.
Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
Sorry for the confussion.
the only reason I brought up the EP4.0 (easy populate 4.0) is because I had an issue with it and it was doe to the double "//" which I was told was because when I originally installed Zencart I used the 1 click install from BlueHost and it adds some weir script.
my problem..
I have installed IH4 and everything works fine but the only thing that does not work is the main image.. when you are inside the product description. the additional images work fine but if you click on the main image I get a black image box. when I checked the image properties it shows "images/lightbox/lightbox-ico-loading.gif"
website mazdaproject.com
ZC 1.5
the only plugins is Easy Populate 4.0 and Image Handler 4
Thank you for the help.

It looks like you may have lightbox installed as well?
There is lots of documentation included with IH4 that helps you to make these 2 mods work together.
Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
I feel a bit silly, but I feel this post may be helpful for others with the same problem. I went to admin>configuration>images and did not have Product Info - Image Large Suffix defined, and that seemed to be causing this error. Thank you very much for your time.
Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
Image Handler4 was working, but for some reason, the Image Handler Admin stopped working. English is the only language.
I click on Image Handler4 in the admin Tools. image_handler.php opens and it says
Image Handler4
No Image Handler information found.
I then click on Image Handler and the first category and first item are displayed.
If I select another category or product in the first category, I am taken back to the beginning.
All previous installed images that were done by image handler are displaying correctly in the catalogue side.
If I click on Admin Tolls, the same page loads.
The Preview and About/Help work as they did previously.
I need a pointer to give me a place to start problem solving this.
Thanks.
Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread
Cant tell you WHY this happened, only how to fix it.. Just re-upload all the files and let it run through the install again..
