Image Handler 2 (for ZC v1.3.8 ONLY) Support

Can someone please tell me if any one has an issue with the cart messing up after loading up more then one product for sale while using image handler 2?

I installed a fresh zen cart, then installed this plug in and all worked fine with one product but if I add more then one product I lose most of my side boxes - all listings will not show - well actually zero content shows on the site.

Anyone???? :frusty:

Thanks Ellie

IH2 features are not working for me.

The install looks good the admin settings are there but my additional images are not showing up. The watermark feature is not working. The hover does not work. the hotspot does not work. Could there be a file I missed or is in the wrong folder? Could this be a lightbox issue?

1.3.7.1
has GD
cache file works
additional images setting turned on
Light box installed

New image uploads using IH2 are setup right but existing are not converted.

rjspomer - as just a newbie myself - just off the top of my head, you did go in and add additional images through the admin/tools/image handler...correct?

Ellie,
How large is the original image your are uploading for the product? I have seen people use extremely large images and Image handler will choke on them and grind page display to a halt.

Yes I did I deleted the entries for just one product for a test. I then imported three diffrent images. I added the suffix and that all worked fine. The admin shows the three images in there different sizes, but the product page does not show the additional images.

I have the images named c_walnut.jpg, c_walnut_puff.jpg, and c_walnut_kleenex.jpg

Thanks

You do not add any suffix to the images as IH will do that when needed.
By adding a suffix to a image (_MED, _LRG) your are turning off IH for that image. Also by putting images in the images/medium, images/large folder turns off IH for those images.
You only need to upload "1" main image for your product.
Use the IH admin to upload additional images as IH will auto rename the images to the correct format. After doing this a few times you will see how IH renames additional images so you can now do it for your products and bulk upload using a FTP client if you choose.

You need to double check and make sure you unloaded "All" IH files.
You did miss one. jscript_imagehover.js
Should be here:

I just installed IH2 and all seemed well when I left my small image sizing @ 125 x 125 (the way I had it before installing IH2), then I changed the small image size to 80 x 80 and I no longer have any hovering effect....change it back to 125 x 125 and all is well. I have no idea what to do to correct this. You can see at http://www.selfdefensesupplies.net

Just would like to clarify a few other things that I'm sure others are wondering and I could not find the answer in the forum:

1. When installing ALL the files via ftp should I be creating a custom folder for each of the areas where the files should be installed so when I upgrade there will be no issues.

2. If My default images are lets say 300 x 300 then when the larger image is displayed it will only show a max of 300 x 300..correct. If I want a larger image to show I will need to change all of my default images to 600 x 600 and re-upload.?

3. When I re-uploaded some of my images after resizing they were over 120 kb, will this be a problem in page load time?

Sorry for all of the questions.

Regards,
Tom

Try a odd number for size so instead of 80x80, try 81x81.

1. You are using "Template Overrides" right? Just follow the rules.

2. Your image sizes are globally set in admin/configuration/images.
So if your main product page image is set at 300x300 and you unload a 600x600 image, IH will resize to 300x300. Understand that the main product page image is the medium size image. So when clicking on the large image link you will get the 600x600 image.

3. Even using IH, it is a good idea to always optimize your images.

Hi Tom,

Thanks
You were right the jscript was missing. It was in the template_default file. I am a little confused as to why there is the template_custom file and classic file. I put all that was in the custom in my template file but not the others. The hot spot hover now works but that will be turned off I do not care for that function.

As far as the other additional images goes. There is an option in IH2 manager to specify a suffix name. IH2 will put 01, 02 as the suffix. I put in the box, kleenex, puff. If you look at the source code they are there but are not showing.

1) couldn't get zooms working on category product listings (but worked on New Products, Featured Products, etc.)
2) couldn't get zooms working on medium (product page) images

After pulling apart the IH code, I learned some stuff that might be helpful to other IH users, which I couldn't find in the documentation at BreakMyZenCart. (Apologies if this has already been posted...I haven't read through all 215 pages of this thread to find out, and can't seem to find anything relevant by searching.)

Problem #1: ImageHandler handles three "sizetypes" of images: "small", "medium" and "large". It determines which sizetype it's working with in two ways:

1) for medium and large images, it searches for "_medium" and "_large" in the filenames
2) for small images, it checks to see if the width and height of the image are IDENTICAL to the "Small Image Width" and "Height" set in Admin > Configuration > Images. If the dimensions are not identical, and the image is not already identified as a medium or large image, it's labelled as "generic", and no zoom behavior can be applied.

Therefore, to enable zoom behavior on ALL images (e.g., category product listings, "new product" listings, "featured product" listings, etc.), you first need to make sure that the following options MATCH the "Small Image Width" and "Height" in Admin > Configuration > Images:

Image - Product Listing
Image - Product Listing
Image - Product New Listing
Image - Product New Listing
Image - New Products Width
Image - New Products Height
Image - Featured Products Width
Image - Featured Products Height
Image - Product All Listing Width
Image - Product All Listing Height
