So, i installed Image Manager in hope of finding a good image management tool with watermarks option. Nope. That was still in alpha i think. More work needed.

Then I decided to come back to IM and found v4. WOW! The install was very well documented and all things said for ZC open source model, IM guys really did a great job of taking away as much pain as possible (they even did backup of your files they over write).

The install manual is tabbed for easy to follow instructions.

I had installed Zen Lightbox first so I had to take several extra steps, which in the end turned out only precautionary, as the core files (to my knowledge) were not changed from my original. I did a DIF on the files and found no changes. If you're on a MAC, text Wrangler is great. It has a sweet arrow button to transpose your DIFs to the newer file.

Anyway, I am SO HAPPY now because I've been searching high and low for a loooong time now (tried Gallery3 - sweet project but little in terms of robust plugins like watermark and digital goods shop cart handling).

Thank you ZC and IM!!!!! :laugh:

Wow.. what a nice post!!! All thanks needs to go to Tim Kroeger for developing this little gem way back when to begin with, and to the BEST volunteers in all of Zen Cart land who have helped keep the documentation tight and the add-on working ever since (nigel, ScriptJunkie, ckosloff, derr mano (sp), torvista!!!

I am so glad you are happy about the auto installer.. We took a little flack for fully automating the IH install code (graciously developed by the venerable niccol), but I think it was step in the right direction as illustrated by DECREASE in the number of support question surrounding the IH installation..

Anybody have any ideas for me?

I searched through this thread, and even tried to do some advanced troubleshooting making sure all the files that needed to be updated were indeed updated. As far as I can tell, all is well, but I am still not seeing any of the additional images show up.

Can anyone provide some guidance as to where I should begin to look?

Additional images is not an IH4 feature.. It's a built in Zen Cart feature.. All IH does is to provide a front-end interface to upload the additional images and name them to the correct image naming standard Zen Cart requires to recognize additional product images.. (which is NOT part of default Zen Cart).

You need to start by checking your store settings to make sure you have turned on additional images or additional images won't work regardless of whether or not you upload them using the IH4 interface or FTP them to your site. If additional images are turned on, then you need to post a new question in a separate forum topic as IH4 is designed to work WITH existing Zen Cart features.. so if this isn't working, the issue is not because of IH4.

Perfect, thank you... didn't realize that (sorry, I'm pretty new to Zen Cart). Thanks again for your help!

I have never been able to find that solution and the last time I had checked was before this particular post. Once again can you be a sweetheart and direct me? I've tried several search terms and just not hitting it.

Post number 33 in this thread by Bryan.

thanks!

Hi There,
I recently upgraded to ZC v1.50 and just installed image handler 4 too.
I am currently encountering an error when I set 'IH resize images' to 'yes', it causes all my products under my various categories (suits, shirts, ties etc) to no longer show.
I used to have IH 3 installed on my old ZC 1.3.9h (before I upgraded to 1.5) but performed a fresh install upon upgrading to ZC 1.5.

I have no idea why this happens, but I know that when I then set 'IH resize images' to 'no' the problem dissapears.
I would greatly appreciate anyone's help!

Thanks

There is a php error occurring at some point for some reason.

First, have a look at the debug files in the cache folder and see if you can see what the problem is.

Secondly, post again and include that information and the site URL. Without a bit more information people are going to struggle to help you. You probably just need to post the contents of the most recent debug message.

Thanks for the quick reply,
here is the info from the debug file:

[09-Jul-2012 13:04:23 UTC] PHP Fatal error: 1062:Duplicate entry 'ZEN_LIGHTBOX_PREV_NEXT' for key 'unq_config_key_zen' :: INSERT INTO zen_configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES (NULL, 'Always show Prev / Next', 'ZEN_LIGHTBOX_PREV_NEXT', 'false', '<br />If true, the lightbox will always show Previous & Next buttons when using additional images. NOTE: This setting will be overwritten automatically when Close on Image Click is set to TRUE.<br /><br /><b>Default: false</b>', @cgi, 112, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(''true'', ''false''), '); in public_html/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 101

it seems as though this error is relating toe zen lightbox however? I recently just installed the current version of that (following my upgrade to ZC 1.5).

furthermore, the website is: www.calluccimenswear.com.au
Currently I have 'IH resize images' set to 'no' so you will be able to see the products when you click on the various categories (which have products in them)

thanks kindly
