Hello,
I wonder if it's possible to modify Image Handler 2 so that it is able to add another watermark which reads "new" for example in the upper left corner.
This alone shouldn't be that difficult, but is there a way to do this only if the product is not older than let's say two weeks? Does Image Handler receive any product reference that could be used to fetch the corresponding products_date_added value from the database?
Or is there already an Add-On which does that?
Thanks for your time!
This has to do with your server. You need to talk to your host.Quote:

I have a problem that i have read about, and have extensively tried solutions that have worked for other people - but have been no help to me. The site is going through a pretty intense re-design, so forgive any super ugly pages you might come across as well as some css files that have been dynamically dropped in multiple head tags on some pages - i am fully aware.
I am rather familiar with the heiarchy of zencart and have spent days..countless hours... comparing files and trying to hunt this down on my own.
Essentially what i am having is a painful watermarking problem. My mouseover popup image watermarks correctly. When you view the product page, the product image (that you click on to get the popup window) is encoded correctly and is being (partially) processed by IH2 - i can tell this because of the filename of the image. However, it is not watermarking on that partially processed image, and the popup image that you get when you click on the product image has my original filename to it. So it is obviously not getting processed whatsoever. The small image on product listing page does work, but is turned off as the site is live and i do not want the watermark there. Also, on the popup image, there is like 200px or so of white space rendered under the product image on some browsers, and this is a bit off-par with the norm as well.
I have tried:
The site in question is: http://www.qcookies.com
- switching to the classic green layout to see if there was a coding problem in my template files
- clearing image cache (both manually and through the IH2 admin menu)
- deleting and re-installing IH2 from the database
- deleting and re-installing all IH2 files
and you can find a PDF of my image settings here: http://www.qcookies.com/image_settings.pdf
Thanks in advance, and i sincerely look forward to your feedback.
For the 200px white space, maybe look at your style_imagehover_OLD.css .Quote:

Watermark:
Have you check to see that your watermark file is good and in the correct folders?
watermark.png -->image folder
watermark_MED.png -->image/medium folder
watermark_LRG.png -->image/large folder
How are you uploading the images for your product?

Personally I recommend removing backups from your site completely (and keeping them off-line) - they just complicate your live environment. But if you really want to keep it close by, rename the extension rather than the base e.g. style_imagehover.css_OLD so that it's ignored as a CSS file.

Now, if this helps at all, in a previous version of the site i had the lightbox mod installed, but uninstalled it as it did not work with additional images. (As you'll notice there is only one image per product, which will be changing within the next week, assuming i can get this watermarking fixed.) I was comparing files to try to figure out if there was anything messed up from that previous mod, but could not find a thing.
Any other suggestions? I'm so much at a loss right now. In fact, anyone who figures this out, i'll have the store send you a basket or tin of cookies for free!!! Seriously. I will.
I'm sorry if this was posted already but there's so many pages to scroll and find. When I installed image handler it worked perfectly, until i installed lightbox. The images stopped displaying when I hovered over the image. So, I restored my original setting but that didn't work. can somebody help me?
Thanks
Perhaps you could try making a list of the files in the Lightbox mod and then replace any files that were overwritten with original files from fresh zen cart folder?Quote:

Installed Image Handler 2 to my 1.3.7 Zen Cart. Images seem to show up fine in my https://www.kaylala.com catalog but not in my http://www.kaylala.com catalog. As you may have guessed I have a split file system because of my host... home/secure_html and home/public_html.
Any thoughts?
Also I don't see the fancy hover effect.
thanks,
Graham
update... I copied all the images that were created in my secure_html/bmz_cache folder to my public_html/bmz_cache folder, which seems to work with some quirks in the meantime (it's a live site... I know, I know).
I also added to call out for the jscript and css file to my html header, so the zoom works now.
But I still need a better fix for my split folder system. Any thoughts?
update again... I've uninstalled Image Handler 2 for the time being... but if anyone has any advice on fixing my problem, please let me know. thanks!
Easy fix and only fix I know, move to host where you don't have to use file splitting.Quote:

So you check to see that your watermark files are not corrupt, are named right and in the correct folders?Quote:

What is the "shopad" directory in the latest release for? It is included in the 21-Oct-07 download, but doesn't seem mentioned anywhere in the instructions.
Any clue what/why this is included? Is it necessary to upload it?
This is also twice the size of the previous versions.
What actually IS the most current version. The ones here or the ones on the BMZ website?
Thanks much!
The most current version is the one posted in Zen-Cart downloads.Quote:

All images show in the admin side, but those with the _tags.jpg on the end don't appear in the site, and there is no changes to how the pop-up displays. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but there's such a mountain of information in this thread I'm going blind searching for the answer....Any help, please?

Will the zoom work only for featured/ special products?? doesn't work for all products?? or sub categories?
Greetings,
We have a unique situation and see it is linked to Image Handler.
We have 1 major category. Then under this category sub categories. Under one of these sub categories, we have another sub category.
Just recently I added a new item under this 2nd level sub category. I used Image Handler to add the image this 2nd level sub category disappeared. (When we add images we only add 1 image for the small and 1 image for the large. We do not use the medium. )
Now when I say disappeared, you could see the 2nd level sub category on the site but when you click on it you get a PAGE NOT FOUND error and the sitemap is displayed.
We removed all the images from the products on this 2nd level sub category (except from 1 product) and this 2nd level sub category shows PERFECTLY.
We can add images to each product in this 2nd level sub category if we do it inside of the product editing area. When we add the images here we do not get the Image Handler light box effect and the 2nd Level sub category DOES show.
Ex. of 2nd Level Subcategory.
Accessories (Main Level)--->Adhesives (1st level sub category)---> Tapes (2nd level sub category)--->Individual Product Listings
If we create another 2nd Level Sub Category with a different or same name "Tapes" and move the Individual Product Listings into this new 2nd level sub category, the items do not display. However, it will still show from the main page as being an active and "in use" category.
I hope this makes sense.
Has anyone had this problem? What is the fix to this problem? All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks.Quote:

For your additional images your not using the correct naming scheme.
You have a product called "Charlotte City Clog".
So if the main product image is named CharlotteClog.jpg then all additional images for that product has to be named:
CharlotteClog_01.jpg
CharlotteClog_02.jpg
CharlotteClog_03.jpg
CharlotteClog_04.jpg
You have to use this naming scheme if your uploading using ftp.
If you use IH to upload images for a product, IH will auto rename the images correctly.

A link to your site will help....Quote:

M
Do does that mean you think there might be something funky in Version: 2.0_for_137?
Do I need to be concerned?
I don't think so. It looks to me as though the person who uploaded it was working on a site where for security reasons the admin area had been renamed to shopad, but then when this has been packaged up, both and admin and a shop_ad version sneaked into the distro and since most of the heavy loading for Image Handler takes place in the Admin, this has doubled the size of the package.
Shopad looks to me to be the original code and Admin the one into which the Spanish language has been added.
A very quick glance at the Sep 16th and Oct 21st versions suggests that the Oct version is built on the Sep version and apart from the Spanish language folder, also has some minor tweaks to the additional_images module to bring it into line with Zen Cart 1.3.7. So both have the javascript changes that tophand implemented.
My recommendation would be to use the latest version, but throw away the shopad folder. It doesn't look dangerous, just redundant.

Thanks again for your insight!
Well, I just installed IH2, following directions carefully, and get this when trying to access my admin:

The files are there and permissions are 777. What am I missing?

Even if there isn't a bug, the content of that line may shed light on what is causing the error - such as a referenced file that is missing....just some ideas - they may be deadends for you. I also had some issues getting IH2 set up this weekend, but with a little forum help and a hell of a lot of thread reading, I got it all resolved today.
Glad to hear you made it to resolution! I tried the above, to no avail. I decided since I had not invested a ton of time into the care and feeding of my site, to blow it away. Reinstalled ZC to my root, then IH2, then my template. Now its all backed up as well. :cool:Quote:

Hi,
I am having a big issue with image handler now
It used to work fine. But now after the upgrade whenever I add an image to a product the whole catgory disappears. I get a page not found error.
I down graded to old files and still it has same issue.
I uninstalled IMH2 and I can upload pictures and everything seems ok
Once i turn IMH2 on the categories disappear again.
My zen cart ver is 1.3.7
using latest image handler 2 from oct 21st, 07
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone,
I have been looking for days but don't seem to be able to find what I'm looking for. I would like to have a border around my small images but haven't found a way to do it. There is a setting in "images" that make it sound like you can create a border but I can't get it to work.
If anyone has any idea of how to pull this off, I would love to hear your ideas. BTW: I can't go back and change the original pics because there are over 1000 of them.
thanks
That would be best achieved in the stylesheet I believe.Quote:

Hi everyone,
I get the following errors when hovering my mouse over the "new products" sidebox image. This shows up in Firebug.
myHint is not defined
onmouseover(mouseover clientX=0, clientY=0)biz (line 1)
myHint is not defined
onmouseout(mouseout clientX=0, clientY=0)
It doesn't seem to have any negative behavior but I was just wondering is there a way to get the error message to go away?
thanks

Other wise you can trawl through the page source.
Assuming you wanted to put a border around the images on the product listing page then add this to the end of your stylesheet.
.productListing-data img{
border: 1px solid red;
}
You can then play around with border widths/colours etc until you reach your desired border.
That worked great! I should be able to do what I need now. The web developer for FF is a great tool and has allowed me to add the borders to whatever page I need.Quote:

Yes, but as a shadow it is a poor rendition.Quote:

I guess our post doesn't show urgency. However, it is an EMERGENCY. We have some products that don't even come up once you click on them. Example---->Customize Lace Locs--->GiGi (The URL is in the signature.)Quote:

well Iam not an expert in Zencart at all, less in IH2, but I am confused, because in IH you dont have to upload any images through FTP...Quote:

If you want to add images you do it via IH and you dont even have to rename anything, because IH does this for you.
Just an idea which may cause the problem, but I am not sure whether I understood you right.

The upgrade was done for image handler new version
The way the ftp upload was done is this way.
Image handler was used to create one image reference in database
So for eg: first image name is image.jpeg and uploaded using image handler.
Then consequent images are named image_01.jpeg, image_02.jpeg and uploaded through ftp rather than image handler. This was easier way since image handler will create cache based on consecutive file names
Now the issue is links are disappearing when image handler is on. When we create a new product and add an image the category the product is in disappears. When i delete the image or disable image handler the links appear again.
When the links disappear I get a page not found error.
Now image handler is uninstalled on our site. So the images are not resized and takes a long time to load.
Thanks
What is the image size your uploading?Quote:

Not sure any of these errors correspond to the image handler issue.

You don't have to use IH to upload any images along as you use the correct naming scheme. You can upload using ftp.Quote:

I'm still learning all this so I not sure where to start.
Thinking that 1 of the php files has been damage or has a extra space.
Might be a good idea to post in the General Question forum.
Include the 2 error logs that you post here(label the 1 with IH on).
Might get faster help.

Hi,
I have this problem as well on the newest Cherry Zen template - tried this fix and the modification to bmz_image_handler.class.php per the template author's suggestion in another post.
Is there anything else I can try? This is perplexing.

You should get a delete button, use it.
(Note: you are not deleting any files by doing this.)
The page should refresh and at the top of the page you see this "Image Handler successfully removed".
You should now have the link "Install Image Handler", use it.
M
I would suggest that you re-install the files and make SURE that you overwrite all the files and start fresh. I had similar problems and re-installing worked for me.
Hope this helps... good luck
Thanks tophand,
I followed your instructions to remove and reinstal and it worked straight away.
As much as I hate to say this but, I have messed up IH2. Right now here's how it is working:
I have tried un-installing and re-installing. Hmm haven't tried the cache. Guess I will try that one next.Quote:
1. zoom only works for the whole image.
2. When I turn hotspot on or off it will either work on the full image or not at all
Ok... tried that and that's not the problem
Also, if anyone would like to look at my CSS please do. I don't know how long the images have not been functioning because I was working on the CSS so much.
Will gladly grovel for help (it used to but I killed it somehow) :frusty:
Oh.. and it doesn't work at all on IE now (sigh)
Any help greatly appreciated!
BTW: I just got through working out a solution for the peekaboo bug... maybe this had something to do with it???
Got it working now... funny, I followed my own advice. I completly re-installed the core files and made sure that everything was overwritten. Once I did that, everything worked out perfectly. I now have IH2 working in both FF and IE.
Sorry for the false alarm... I was freakin' (smile)
I can't help but wonder what I did to make IH2 stop working again??? Oh well, it's good to have it working.
I'm having an issue where IH is breaking my cart only on one category. I have categories set up like this:
Photographs-> (206)
|_ Floral (77)
|_ Nature (17)
|_ Scenic (43)
|_ Human Interest (37)
|_ Architectural (12)
|_ Fall/Thanksgiving (15)
|_ Winter/Christmas (5)
When IH is installed, the Human Interest category doesn't work. When it is 'deleted from the database' as per the admin panel, the category works fine.
by 'doesn't work' I mean the category won't display products or anything below.
here is the code when it is working (IH is not installed): (I removed header stuff)

As the problem is confined to a single category, this sounds like the excessively sized images problem. What is the filesize of the largest image in that section?Quote:

I'll go ahead and resize the pics manually, and see if that helps.
What is a good max size for uploading?
This would certainly fit into the excessive category. I take a close look at anything over 100k (about 200k would be an absolute limit), to see whether there's a reason (e.g. complexity of image, wide spread of natural colors) to warrant it being that large. Most of the images that I upload with Image Handler (to be used as a basis for the largest images) would be in the 30-90k range and no larger than 750 x 550 pixels. There's just no point to uploading huge images with more data than can actually be used on a visitor's monitor.Quote:

IH2 does a decent job of reducing the images for quick loads.
JOhn ><>
I changed all photos in the category to 72dpi 5x7inches. It works! Thanks all!
Hi everyone,
I'm having an issue with IH2 and some changes I have made. I put a shadowbox around all my pictures. Before this, the hover image would only show up if you placed it over the + sign. Now it does it anywhere you hover on the image. I put my old files back and everything worked fine. Any ideas? Think I need to re-install IH2?
Thanks for the help.
False alarm... When I overwrote the files things worked fine. Thanks to anyone who looked.
After use IMH2 a long time, i have some question about this :
I see some folder very very big in my host :
Bmz cached
Cached
In my host, it is about 250 Mb! Very very big folder. If i delete them , is it possible?
Also, Do i need backup that folder when i backup my store?
KIMSON
Thanks you & best regards,
Hi,
Please can someone explain to me how I can use IH2 to mass upload images and additional images (if this is possible).
I could easily FTP the images but the problem is with the additional images, my supplier uses different filenames for additional images (example: ImageA.jpg for main image and ImageB.jpg for additional image). It is my understanding that for IH to recognise it as an additional image it has to be ImageA_01.jpg?
If I could upload all images with IH2, would it automatically rename the additional images (ImageA_01.jpg etc...) and if so how would I go about doing that?
Any help to clear this up would be much appreciated
Thanks
No it won't automatically perform the re-naming for you. In fact, unless they are correctly named, neither Zen Cart nor Image Handler will even recognize them as additional images for productA.
A slight refinement on the naming needed. The additional images simply need to start productA, i.e. have the same stem as the product image. You can put anything afterwards. The "_01" etc. usually suggested is merely good practise.
However, in summary, you will need to re-name the files before you upload them.
Thanks for clearing that up for me kuroi.
Can IH2 only add images 1 at a time or can images be mass uploaded?
IH "Does" auto rename additional images based on the product main image when using the IH Admin!Quote:

Select product you want to add image(s) too.
Using the "Default Image File" box, browse to the image(s) you want add, select and save. IH will auto rename the files to the correct naming format.
So if the product main image is named RedShoe.jpg and your adding additional images called sideview.jpg, rearview.jpg IH will rename these images RedShoe_01.jpg, RedShoe_02.jpg

You can always try it using what I outline in the above post.Quote:

Let us know if it works for you.

I do this every 2 weeks or so and before I make backups.

Sounds like tophand always uploads images one at a time via the IH admin and it auto-renames the additional images as it knows to which product and product image they are related.
I always prepare my images locally, often using Photoshop batch actions on whole directories and then FTP the whole lot in one go, and have to rely on correct naming to allow Zen Cart and IH to make the connections. (My product details including the product_image are also uploaded in bulk by Easy Populate).
Apologies for any confusion.

Do what I do, play around. Just be sure to backup first!

Thanks for the advice guys, you've answered my question. I'll rename the images locally and ftp them unless it's only a few then I can use IH admin.
Thanks
