Yes, the custom file is active in admin (it is the one I've been using now for 8 months...)

I still haven't solved the promlem listed below...any ideas???

Promblem:
I'm running 1.2.7...I have the additional pics loaded into H2...they are showing up in admin but they are not on the catalog end...


I took the tpl_main_page.php, which is located in /includes/templates/template_default/popup_image_additional... and FTP'd it over to my custom folder (includes/templates/custom/popup_image_additional)..This didn't work... I couldn't find any other additional_images php files in the template_default folder... Am I missing a file? Or could there be another solution...

Hi,

My popup doesn't resize when openning a large image since I have installed this mod on a new 1.3 Zencart. I have installed it on other stores without this problem occuring. I guess I must have messed up somewhere. Any ideas where to start looking for my error(s) as so far no luck.

Thnks in advance.

hi,
My image handler is not functioning correctly. could this be a bug? I tested it on a whole new cart and it still acted funny. here is the cart i tested it on:
http://www.shopjackiesjewels.com/sto...&products_id=2
the images at the bottom wont zoom however if you go to the new products page or the home page it does zoom. then on this page:
http://www.shopjackiesjewels.com/sto...&products_id=4 i added an additional image to the present necklace and the second image didnt even show up! whats wrong with my image handler?

I'm confused. All the files in the IH2 package that I'm replacing are the original 1.3.0.2 files. So, I should just have to take the IH2 versions and replace the 1.3.0.2 versions correct? The installation speaks nothing about comparing the 1.3.0.2 files against IH2 files and modifying the 1.3.0.2 files? Shouldn't the IH2 package contain the proper files?

Also, does anyone use ImageMagick? If it's installed on the server do you need to make any changes to the IH2 code? How does it determine whether to use GD libraries or ImageMagick?

Man...finally figured out why it wasn't working. ADMIN->CONFIGURATION->IMAGES the setting 'Image - Use Proportional Images on Products and Categories' needs to be set to 1. Default is 0 I guess.

Is it better to use GD libraries or ImageMagick? Anyway you can tell which is being used?

Theres nothing to be confused about, you update your site to 1.3.0.2 then compare the html_output.php file with the one in the IH package, find the extra 2 lines (its just an admin switch for the ability to turn a setting off.... I forget which without checking) and then upload the changed file to your site.

The IH2 package doesnt contain the right files for 1.3.0.2 as is cunningly disguised in the package name :D

So, we should use the 1.3.0.2 html_output.php, but add the 2 lines from the IH2 version rather than using the IH2 version?

No the other way round....
Tell you what, sometime over this weekend, I will make the changes needed for 1.3.0.2 and upload it to the downloads.
The changes are much smaller than this very post.

The only real change I seen was the SSL line. Modify the IH2 version to include that and all was good I think.

I made the change to line 36 to if ($connection == 'SSL' && ENABLE_SSL == 'true') {
but now I get the following errors.

Warning: strstr(): Empty delimiter. in /includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 126

Warning: strstr(): Empty delimiter. in /includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 128

any ideas on what I did wrong?

If that is what you have I think it's ok. Do you have any extra white spaces at the end of the file?

thanks deadeye... had spaces between the last two lines. Got rid of em and wahlah!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I just copied the IH2 files to my site but i can not see the IH2 line in admin/tools :no: :no:

I run ZC 1.3.0.2

Ok, i have not sleept since 24,5 hour ago :cry:

I put IH2 on my local server and could not find it in admin.......

Becouse i looked at our site on the web :smartass: :smartass: :smartass: Hehe... good night.. zzzzzz

I installed IH 2 in ZC 1.3.0.2

Thanks for the great module!

While I was adding images with the IH2 module I accidently added a new image (extra image) to a product that already had a primary image added with IH2. These 'extra' images show up at the bottom of the product detail page, as you know. In IH2 when I delete the extra image from the product, it deletes the image from the file system. In my case I was using that 'extra' image as the primary image for another product, so it deletes the image for that product when I delete it from the product I do not want it to display with.

Now my other product has no image. And here is where the real problem is - when I add the image back to the product for which it is the primary image, it also comes back as an extra image in the product that I do not want it to show in, as an extra image.

I see when you delete a primary image, IH2 gives you the checkbox to just delete the database reference to the image and not the image in the file system. I think it would be better to have this function in extra images too. That way when you delete an extra image that is used elsewhere you will not have this problem.

I know there are work arounds like 1. just rename the image and 2. find the reference in the database and remove it. Where is the extra image reference for a product in the database?

thanks again for your very useful module,

I saw this asked a few times but couldn't decipher if answered:

additional images for product info not displaying per off-the-shelf zencart method.

ZC v1.3.02 fresh install
image_handler__for_vx_2.0 (downloaded June 27)

I know my naming convention is correct.
additional images added through image handler admin display okay, but standard additional images do not.

double checked to make sure various files mentioned in thread were in fact uploaded.

one quirk may be tabbedproductslite_2.7c contribution, but I think this is Image Handler issue.

help please
:(

I am also having problems with it.

It does not resize the images properly.

When will this be updated for 1.3.0.2 ?

I just installed Image Handler 2, and I must say, this is a very well done add on!

My first observation is that it degrades the performance of my site. Zen-Cart/osCommerce is already extremely database heavy, contributing to slow page load times.

My product images are roughly 50-100k in size.

The product listing and product info pages take roughly 0.4 seconds to generate pre-Image Handler.

Post Image Handler, these pages take about 2.4 seconds... an increase of ~2 seconds.

It is my understanding that Image Handler caches all these generated images, so subsequent loads will be faster.

Is there any way to force Image Handler to do a complete run-through of my catalog so all the images are pre-cached?

Or do you have any suggestions on how to speed things up?

Thanks!

Butta:

when speed matters...

is 50-100K the total image size per page or per image...

if per image, you need to optimize them (photoshop or fireworks or something else - I think image handler using the other programs referenced in docs etc works but I use off-line tools - fireworks is my favorite)

if you are not using now, check out Firefox with the optional Web Developer Tool Kit and speed report - very revealing.

good questions about what can be done, but the basic approach of optimizing will have big impact, today - you don't lose as much quality as you think (can always have high resolution 'large' image if customers need/want detail etc

my tag line to this is that 'image isn't everything, perception is' - slow will frustrate more than high res will impress...

Thanks for the advice, but i think you might have missed the point a bit. =) Image Handler auto-generates optimized thumbnails of the existing images in your catalog. The original images are each 50-100k in size. My problem is that Image Handler takes longer to render these images than compared to downloading the originals.

Image Handler also caches each rendered thumbnail, so that it won't have to re-render it when another visitor attempts to load it. I'm looking for a way to get Image Handler to do a run through the entire catalog, such that every image is pre-cached.

Butta - sorry I was a bit eager with meager advice

Sgflowers - I go to admin/tools/imagehandler2/manager - then select category, then select product, then hit display then hit new file (on right) - then load image into default and everything works like magic

I had hoped it would pick up additional images that were ftp'd using the zencart image naming convention (ie suffix) but it didn't work that way for my install - even after turning image handler off.

I'm very happy with things now though once I got into the rythm -

but similar to Butta it would be nice to do some kind of batch image processing - maybe its in there somewhere I just don't know.

Hi, thanks for writing this product. It is excellent work.

I like to report an issue that I am having in the admin/manager page. I searched this thread and it doesn't seem anyone else had this problem. ZC = 1.03.01

In the manager page, I cannot see any of the images after the bottom of the page. A quick look I noticed the links did not pick up the proper directory.

My site is not live yet so I have not redirect my domain name with DNS, so I am still using the default http://gator54.hostgator.com/~username directory that was assigned to me by Hostgator. What I noticed is the missing images are not using the proper directories as it is using just the hostname w/o the userdir, like http://gator54.hostgator.com/bmz_cache/ instead of http://gator54.hostgator.com/~username/bmz_cache/

This is not a show stopper, so please look into this when you have a chance.

and one more question...

any way to keep animated gif's working for product images?

yes, I know they are so 90's but I've got one image that works great for what I need but IH stops the animation... I tried deleting in IH2 manager and loading it via ZC categories/products but IH2 still controls it (hover)

ideas....


:yes:

I insatlled IH2, what a great cont.
However I get a syntax error, code 0 when there is no product image for a product.
Any Ideas on how to overcome this ?

I've been having fun playing with this mod in my test store tonight.

I have the css flyout categories installed and one thing I noticed is that on some of the product pages if you try to navigate the menu shows under the product. Not on every product page though...weird. Also, when I hover over the + sign for the zoom, the pic shows way up in the right hand corner of the browser (FF) in IE the zoom doesn't do anything at all. Is there some way I can fix both of these issues...not sure if it's just my install or a general bug.

Tim, I am curious why my image does NOT open up all the way on NS. I have a fresh install of Zen & IH. I tried on your demo and the image opens all the way. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I've tried to read this entire support thread...........after awhile things just started to run together. I have one question! Do I have to upload three of the same images - one defult, one MED and one LRG to three different directories?

I installed IH2 I see all the images I uploaded in three different sizes but (unless I have to upload the other two) when I Click to Enlarge brings up the dreaded red x and there is clearly no image in the properties path for the image.

Am I expecting too much or did I not understand what I read about how IH2 works?

HELP!:blink:

You don't need to uppload more than one picture. The IH2 does the rest. Read at http://breakmyzencart.com/ih-doc

I want to use the watermark_LRG.png as gif instead as it is smaler, 80K vs 5K... I searched on watermark_LRG.png in Developers Tool Kit but could not find it.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I found it but it did not look good in gif :no:

I had this error also. I had removed the suffix for medium and large images (under configuration > images). All I did to fix the error was to add the suffixes back ("_MED" and "_LRG"). Hope that helps.

Thanks now everything working good :)

Pawel

Now i have second problem :)

When i move my mouse over the images i have that error in js:

Error: 'pageY' is null or not an object

I changes pageY to clientY and nothing that same problem

Im using 1.3.0.2 zencart and image-handler_2.0-zc13

If anyone can help please do that :)

Pawel

I just downloaded the js file used on the authors demo site..
It seems to work, however I do get a syntax error code 0 when there are no product images present....

Im using 1.3.0.2 zencart and image-handler_2.0-zc13

Clicking on "larger images" doesn't show my image. I checked the images/large directory and I have no images there and none have have been generated.

What am I doing wrong? When I upload a large images to the directory it appears!

Shelia

Sheila -

I'm not an expert but:

I'd try going to admin/config/images and make sure IH is turned on. At the bottom of the list of options are several that start with IH and the one right about that about proportioning

then go to admin/tools/IH manager (making sure it is installed...) - then pull up and display products using the IH manager - at the bottom of the page it will show you the small medium large images - IH does not use the same image folders as standard zencart

---
my non-expert offer to other folks having issues is to reinstall the files, make sure you don't have any old files, (IH manager will look for you from admin) and see if that helps -- IH is quirky for me too but I'm a total convert now.

Just curious for those using IM 3, do your images open up all the way? They don't seem to when using NS. I have a fresh install of zen. HELP! I would like to get this issue resolved.

this may have been talked about previously - but may be helpful to folks struggling to get IH functioning.

On my site I had the IH imagehover jscript in includes/templates/template_default/jscript. When I created a new jscript folder in template_MYSITE - and placed a different jscript file from another contribution in there as you're supposed to do per overrides - the IH jscript didn't load - thus no hover affect. My experience anyway. :dontgetit

I recently installed IH2 with Zen 1.3. Everything seems to be working except I can't view the large images. I tried accessing the image directly in the browser, but I get a 403 permission denied error. Then I looked to see what the permission of the files are. It appears that are being set to 0600 even though the image folder has 0777. Does anyone know why it is doing this? When I add a new product and an image (not using IH), the permissions are set fine.

I am looking for this answer too. Any time I change the small image size to > 80 the zoom hover effect stops happening.

I would like a much larger "medium" image to appear when the zoom occurs, is this possible?

I'm not getting anywhere with IH. My images aren't being generated in the large or medium directories and every images I upload shows the same size for the small, medium and large.

I hope removing IH isn't gonna be a huge pain!

Did you turn on the proportional images setting?

Nevermind...dumb question I think. Was thinking about something else I believe. Couldn't edit the message with Firefox for some reason.

YES.............I went through everything again. I even removed it from the database and reinstalled it. Still nothing!

keep in mind that IH does not manage images like standard ZenCart - dropping images into the medium or large directory folder is not going to get picked up by IH.

I've had to use a combination of loading images via standard ZC upload from admin/catalog-products and then add additional images thru IH.

I think it is a bit quirky and may be working differently for different installs and versions (uneducated surmise) - and I've had different results over time - but use the admin/tools/ imagehandler for managing image files. they get stored in bmzcache and given the complexity of the names given them and what goes through the database I don't think you can just change the files in the directory.

image dimensions are controlled in admin/config/images

not sure if answered questions - but it sounds like people are trying to make changes to images thru FTP into directories and it isn't going to work that way (easily anyway)

not expert but playing with it regularly now - still worth the stuggle of learning curve:blink:

I actually still upload my additional images through FTP...seems to work ok for me with those. Dunno though. I got it installed/working and it seems very good to me. I'm on 1.3.0.2.

I stand corrected - the first time I tried it, it didn't work for me - now it does.

I guess I better know what I'm talking about before explaining something.... :blush:

thanks

Before IH, I had uploaded 140 product images the conventional way. Everything worked just fine, including the "large images." I assumed IH would take over the management of the images and I would only have to install it and make some changes to the image configs.

I'll revisit IH when I have time.
Thanks for all the help.

Shelia

I found how to change the medium image. It's the Product Info - width and height parameters under admin-->config-->images

Bad news is I have to re-do my template if I want my medium images to be larger :) Guess it uses the same on the IH zoom as it does in the product images space on an item's listing. Which blows out my template. Oh well :)

I'm rebuilding my shop in 1.3. I did a fresh install of zencart and imported all of my products from my 1.2+ and had to ftp the pictures. I've installed image handler but I can't see any additional pictures. Even when i uninstall it via the admin, i can't see any additional pictures.

I understand that this was meant for you to add items and pics via the admin, but there is now way I'm going to re-do that for 1500+ products.

I see that this seems to be a common problem. Any one solve this?

Not sure if this is best placed here or in the css flyout thread, guess I'll try both.

Since installing IH2, my flyout css categories show up underneath the pictures...see here: http://www.divaknitting.com/testzens...cPath=18_65_66

How can I correct this so that the menu shows on top?

I have the same question posted...
I checked your site both in IE & FireFox, the menu is ONTOP of your images..
How did you fix it ?

Re: Css Flyout Categories Menu troubles

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In your stylesheet_menu.css, you have a line that says:
Code:
div#nav-cat li {position: relative; list-style: none; margin: 0;simply add this on the next line:

Code:
z-index: 1;

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...392#post230392

Ok, I fixed my problem. Apparently there is a switch for additional images. I've looked far and wide for it in the admin, but I couldn't find it. But here it is the tpl_modules_additional_images file.

<?php
if ($flag_show_product_info_additional_images != 0 && $num_images > 0) {
?>

So I removed it and the closing part of it at the bottom of the tpl file and wah-lah it works. I feel sheepish for not finding the problem when it was just caused by a switch, but I cannot find it in the admin to save my life (and i have the reference mod installed).

Anyways, maybe this can help someone else.

Thanks.

okya, first i had issues with the two lines delimiter thingy, and so i uninstalled ih2 and it fixed things (of course), then i read through this thread and did some of the fixes. (i didnt find any white space at the end of the file)

well i reinstalled and had issues so i went in and turned OFF (yes i said OFF) the proportional images and BAM! no more errors. :D

WAIT WAIT i still have a problem - now all my images look like crap! :cry:

any ideas on where to look to see if there is something i have done wrong? :down:

this is the second install of this i have done, the first time i must have gotten distracted (the 2yr old is good for that) and didnt upload all the files cause it was allll screwy, so i reinstalled and this time made sure i installed ALL the files as the directions said.

so im stuck :(


also can someone please explain how this works w/ easy populate? when i connect the files in the ep file do i THEN go in and upload EACH one via ih2?

here is the error sting i was/am getting:

Warning: strstr(): Empty delimiter. in /home/content/g/c/l/gclefjewelry/html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 126

Warning: strstr(): Empty delimiter. in /home/content/g/c/l/gclefjewelry/html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 128


thats what happens when i turn proportional images ON

when its off i dont get that, but my pictures look beyond crappy.

Do you have resize turned on as well when you turn on proportional image?

oh you rock.

i didnt even SEE the IM resize :sleepy:

thank you thank you thank you!!! :thumbsup:


now about uploading the images... must i do those EACH?
:lol: im so spoiled by ep :lol:

Here is a good reading for you: http://www.breakmyzencart.com/ih-doc :)

Basically if you all have images upload, IH will take over from there. For new product you're listing you can upload one image and IH will resize as needed. If you're using EP to upload products, as long as your images are uploaded to the image folder IH will recognize their location and again resize as needed without messing with the original image. If you click on the "i" image icon on product listing page, it will give you more option for image editing, multiple image upload, etc.

I am heading to bed as it's 3am so I probably wont be on the forum until the morning but will take a look to see if you still need assitance.

okay now this isnt showing on the *public* cart

but when i goto an image and click on the *I* i get this

Warning: strstr(): Empty delimiter. in /home/content/g/c/l/gclefjewelry/html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 126

Warning: strstr(): Empty delimiter. in /home/content/g/c/l/gclefjewelry/html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 128



several times.

and while it shows the ONE image as linked, it does NOT show the med and large images.

and i did read that doc, lol, twice. i just didnt understand as far as ep, other than it supported it. im easily confused.... :wacko: i THOUGHT it would do as you said, but since it wasnt doing it i wanted to ask, lol

maybe if i wasnt getting that error it would populate correctly.

I think i am headed to bed myself.. we'll see, lol i do have to get up early to make sack lunchs for the boys for camp :D

Hi everyone,
I;ve been spending days trying to get image handler to work and I'm still lost. I uploaded the file and installed it but I do not see the image handler icons. Also, when i go to tools/image handler i get the following errors:

Warning: imagegif(): Unable to open '/home/blackber/public_html/bmz_cache/2/277211cc49dd62810e10ac02b7c6c919.image.119x120.gif' for writing in /home/blackber/public_html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 642


Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thi sis my first experience with PHP so please excuse my ignorance - i am trying my best though!

BTW kudos to all of you that work so hard to help others, you guys are great

Take care,
Terry

I've given bad advice on this thread before...but I'd try two things

reload that php file - bmz_image_handler.class.php

and double check your permissions

Your problem is actually easy to fix because it's a folder permission issue. Change permission on your bmz_cache folder and the subfolders to 777 which I believe is the same permission on standard image folder for ZC install.

That will fix the problem.

Hello all,

I don't know if anyone else has encountered this. I have two cameras. I have realised that one saves in .JPEG , and .jpg. The .JPEG photos don't show on my zen site. I wondered if there is anyway to enable them without retaking them with the other camera. The .JPEG photos show fine in the admin side.

Many thanks,

Russ:thumbsup:

Did you try just renaming one of the .JPEG to .jpeg? Lowercase thing...that may work or see the suggestion below.

You might also take a look at
/includes/extra_configures/bmz_image_handler_conf.php

There is a setting in there that is defaulted to 'false'. It may help you out although it may add a little overhead.

I need some help, any and all would be appreciated.

Everything works fantastic in Firefox and NS. However in IE (did I mention i hate IE:yuck: ) the image popups near the top of the screen are ok, but as I move down the page they don't work or work sporadically (I think they may be popping up out of view on the screen?)

Check the link below (in IE) to see what I mean.
Any ideas?

Thanks

I just installed IH2. Stats:
-Cart: 1.3.01 (I think that's right, can't get into admin to check. It's not the .02)
- GD libararies available
- IH1 NOT previously installed
- Custom template in use
- copied the js folder from template_default to my custom template in additon to custom template files
- stepped through the installation three times to make sure I didn't miss any files.
- feel pretty sure I did not modify any previously modified files

The very first time I clicked in the IH link in the tools menu, I lost my admin pages altogether. Now when I go to admin, I simply get a blank page.

Before I throw in the towel and revert to last night's backup, does anyone have any ideas on what I might check?
thank you in advance!

Somehow or another, I got IH2 to work. But I do not have the fancy hover effect. All zooms and hotzones are to yet, resize to yes, etc. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Watermark is not working either. I see in the page source that the js script is being called: <script language="javascript" src="includes/templates/mytemplate/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js">.
I uploaded the watermark and hover image in the "image" directory as was in the download structure. Anything else to check?
Thanks!

I have renamed admin folfer into something else. Are they any files i need to change from ADMIN to the new name?

You could search around a bit, but there is a configure.php under the admin/includes folder that needs modifying. Maybe the other one too, but I don't recall of the top of my head.

I have already changed the configure php. What i mean is there any files inside the Image Handler 2 that i have to modify because of this name change?

O lol. Did it break? There are a couple of 'configure' files for IH2 in /includes/extra_configures, but they are just for the Catalog I think. I don't recall any special changes for IH2 if using a different admin folder name.

It did not break but some of the pictures are not shown since they are calling it from admin and i no longer have that.

Isn't changing the admin folder one of the security recommendations?

Code:

$quality = (int)$quality/10;

though (intead of 100), I think. (No guarantee, not tested).

Cheers,

I've done the changes at breakmyzencart.com (replaced line 126), changed the pageY's to clientY's and I'm still getting the error. Only now it says clientY instead of pageY. Anyone found a way to stop this???


Thanks, grneyes

Yes and I don't really recall changing anything. You could try using the Developers Tool Kit to search for the word 'admin' and see if anything related to IH2 files is found.

This is an incomplete explanation but might give you a place to look.

I had something similar, when I displayed my specials listing, the images had the hover popup effect, but when I displayed 'all' or 'featured' they wouldn't.

I went into admin/config/images and worked to get all the small images to be uniform in dimensions. IH has a cool feature that will add a background color to an image so that they will all dimension out the same - i.e odd sized, cropped images etc - I used height 100! and width 100! for my small images. the "!" tells IH to use the background color. I also freed up the other images to only have a set width and free floating height.

I suggest looking into this topic and playing around with image dimensions to get them uniform.

Thank you Wasana and BlessIsaacola. I changed the permissions and reloaded the file but I'm still getting the same error.
Any other suggestions?

yes...

you shouldn't need to move anything to/from the new admin folder unless you are uploading IH again. I ususally change the "admin" folder in mods to the name of my admin folder before upload.

Urgently, desperately seeking help.
IH is uploading images OK but on the product page for the item some of the img src attributes are not correct.
IH is uploading to my /cart/images dir. OK.
(ZC is one dir. down in "cart/")
On the category listing page the image shows up OK.
But on the product page the main image (in the "bof Main Product Image" section)
the image is broken, it's trying to go to "src="images/medium/lotus_MED.jpg"
But!... the 'larger image' link does work.


But! with an add'l image uploaded through IH,
("bof Additional Product Images" section)
it does show up on the product page...
But here, the 'larger image' link does not work! (Huh?)
(tries to go to src="images/large/photo_2_LRG.jpg")

Under the gun to have it working in the next couple hours--Ack!

Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!

re last post: Solved. Thx, anyway!

It would be very nice if you could post what you did to solve so if anyone else has this problem they too can solve it :thumbsup:

Just an FYI - If you are out of disk space you will recieve an error that'll lead you to believe your permissions are not set correctly.

I just checked your link and everything seems fine. Maybe I am just not understanding your problem. Could you pleaes clarrify?

Any body figured out why the extra images are not showing up when you install IH2. I see a few people in this thread asking why the extra images are not showing up but i don't see anyone giving an answer. Is there one for this problem if so how do you get the extra images to display on the product page?

Thank

Problem I am having is this error shows up when I install it.

Code:

---

Warning: ereg_replace(): REG_EMPTY in /home/again/public_html/includes/modules/additional_images.php on line 46

---

The image of the product shows outside the product listing page, when you view to see the description and so on the image is not there.

When I replace the
additional_images.php
main_product_image.php

that is installed with the folder when IH2 is downloaded.

However if I replace those 2 files again with the originals the picture shows up again.

But the rollover does not work on this image and few others the little cross thing isnt there in the image like it is in some of the others.

I like to fix this error, if anyone has ever experienced this problem please let me know.

You can see the error here

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've installed this and it works beautifully on the category listings page. I thought I read in one of the posts that you had to copy something to the header files to get it to work on the other pages but can't find that post again as it is not working for the product_info page.

I also cannot find an answer to whether or not the image handler works with attribute swatch images. This is primarily what I'm looking for as the site I am working on has a ton of attributes for fabric choices and I am trying to minimize the page size.

Any push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Does any else have any problems with image popups specific to IE ? As the page is scrolled they don't seem to popup where they should. This only in happens using IE as the browser !!

Any ideas on how to possibly resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all

Still looking for help on the IE script errors if anyone knows how to stop them. Already tried the suggestions made earlier in this thread and neither one stops them.


Thanks,
grneyes

more strange and hard to get answer for problem(s)

Everything was working great - but now my IH2 manager has stopped working - from admin/tools/image handler I get "No Image Handler information found." - if I go into IH Manager to pull up a product, the category shows but then if I use the dropdown it bounces back to IH admin screen.

The only file used by IH that was changed recently was the html_output.php - I added rollover button affects. The site works fine - both IH and rollover buttons but IH2 Admin is not working....

(this is killing me I've got about 50 products with multiple images I need to get loaded)

advice? ideas?

edit: well, at least I can now use the traditional zencart approach of using FTP to add LRG and additional images - whic IH does optimize - this did not work when I initially installed the contribution... I still recommend IH to people but it is quirky....

Hi, I know it is problematic to make the program work in safe mode on but this gallery: http://www.minigal.dk/ works even when safe mode is on... I tried to study the code but it is too complicated to understand it fully... but maybe it can help you with image handler. Now I have to do all the resizements manually which is really not the best solution. I hope soon there will be a solution for SAFE MODE ON users....:smile:
