I have tried to get "Click To Enlarge" to appear under the image, But I cant figure out how to do that.

Click Options to see what I mean.
Those option images are just to small.

Hi milobloom jut wondering how did you achieve the tab pages in product info page?
Did you use a separate mod for that puppose?

Maybe if IH could rewrite a path like
bmz_cache/d/d8418ec3b6e231502512ada44ec5ed62.image.135x89.JPG
to (for example)
bmz_cache/d/d8418ec3b6e231502512ada44ec5ed62.microsoft.image.135x89.JPG
or
bmz_cache/d/d8418ec3b6e231502512ada44ec5ed62.microsoft.vista.image.135x89.JPG
searchengines would pick up on this and perhaps reward us with a higher ranking.

Not sure if this could work (or even backfire) but is there someone out there who has already tried this and is willing to share his or her experiences with us (and perhaps some coding on how to do this)?

Pointless IMO.

Looks interesting, thanks testuser.

Hello testuser,

There seems to have a frenzy of issues; I sympathize, but I have a question.

I fired up a fresh 1.3.8a and installed the IH2 for 1.3.7, and for the most part it works.

I'm dealing with images that I have to copy from another site. I have to believe that they've been optimized and are as good as they are going to get. Due to the items themsleves, the image sizes are a mixed bag. I've been copying them directly into images/products/*.png

Then selecting them when I add the products to the catalog.

The small images do zoom when I hover over them, but only if the small image size set admin>configuration>images is set to (width x height) (100x80). If I change one of these parameters the zooming stops.

Any insight on why this would be the case?
I can't seem to get it to display larger thumbs on the product list, since I can't change the small image size.

Have you tried using odd numbers --> 101x81, 125x105 ?
This is what I had to do but I know of others that had to use even numbers.

In order for the zoom to work, the dimensions of that image would need to match the small dimensions.

I've got a few items in the cart that are named similarly, and since installing image handler, it's putting the recommended matching items below the initial product image. Problem is, it's using a huge image below it.

See here

How can I adjust this to either make it use the thumbnail image, or remove it entirely?

It's not IH it's Zen.

Zen looks for additional images that match the suffix of your product image, which in your case they're probably the same for each product.

So if you have two product images, each for different products:

Quote:

---

product_wood.gif
product_hammer.gif

---

Zen will actually think the above is an additional image and the other the product image.

To fix it, rename you images like:

Quote:

---

productwood.gif
producthammer.gif

---

Then respectively your additional images would look like so:

Quote:

---

productwood_01.gif
producthammer_01.gif

This is in the right direction, but not quite right.

Zen Cart actually looks for image files that extend the basename of a product's main image file and treats them as additional images. The basename is the bit with the filetype extension removed. e.g. the basename for teeshirt.jpg is teeshirt. Thus teeshirt1.jpg, teeshirt_1.jpg and teeshirt_front.jpg would all be treated as additional images. In fact teeshirt<virtually-anything-at-all>.jpg would be an additional image for this product.

However, product_wood.gif and product_hammer.gif would not be linked, unless there was a product with image product.gif, in which case they would both be treated as additional images for that product.

Any chance there is a way to get IM2 to set the width of additional images? Never came across this problem until now, and don't want to resize images for every single product. :yuck:
