Filesize and dimensions of your product images?

Let`s say that one of the pictures is 800x1199 and 45.8 KB
This could be the problem?

I change the dimmension of the picture, I make all smaller by 50% and is still the same...

Code:

require_once('includes/classes/bmz_gif_info.class.php');

That will do the trick.

Sorry, cand you be more exactly? Please... I don`t know where to add you code. Millions of thanks!

Actually better with this code, this will solve admin errors too:

Code:

---

require_once(DIR_FS_CATALOG.DIR_WS_CLASSES.'bmz_gif_info.class.php');

---

so open up /includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php

and change line 12 from

Code:

---

require_once(bmz_gif_info.class.php');

---

to

Code:

---

require_once(DIR_FS_CATALOG.DIR_WS_CLASSES.'bmz_gif_info.class.php');

---

that will solve the openbase_dir problems.

Hope this helps

Hi Minute,

What do you mean? whats your problem? openbase_dir?

I just did this exact same thing on a clients website and it works perfectly, are you following the correct instructions?

Thanks

Hello

I am having a weird problem with image handler & 1.38a, everything was working fine and then for some reason the medium images are no longer being correctly resized.

Clean install of 1.38a, seo urls added, then image handler, then admin profiles (my 3 zen must haves!!) everything was working this afternoon (and for the last week) and now the medium pics are being resized by zen (as in the medium pics are showing as jaggy - like how zen would resize a pic forcing it to display smaller) even though the paths are showing as coming from the BMZ folder, small images & large images are fine.

Cannot see how or where to fix this.

Any help appreciated

Could this be down to me changing the sub category image size? This is the only change i've made, I've put it back but images are still not showing correctly.

The other hiccup (which didn't happen in 1.38) is that the large image defaults to showing the small thumbnail, if you pick up a small & medium image but not a large image. I can work round this, but would like the medium images to look clean on the site and not "jaggy".

Stuck.....

Are you category images resizing appropriately as well?

I have installed IH@ and I don't have any hover features., no re-size, no watermark, and I can't display more than 1 pic.
I think this isn't working for me.

can anyone recommend a company that can install Zencart for me with lightbox or image handler. I can't spend this much time reading 250 pages of techno lingo.

On the product listing pages that don't work, you didn't answer this before, what are the size of your product images that are trying to be loaded?

The problem is possibly your exceeding the memory_limit set in your PHP settings.

Don't panic though, you can normally change these settings pretty easily.

Hi Testuser

Everything is fine except the medium images.

I've been using zen since 1.26 and have been using image handler, seo & admin profiles as my zen dream team since 1.3

The medium pics are sizing as the "large images".

A default pic is being picked up small is showing correctly, sub images are correct, listing & featured pics are correct, IH is set to resize the images, no zoom features needed, but the medium pics are the same size as the large pics (on the image handler screen) but zen is forcusing them to be the size I want hence why they are going "jaggy"

Any help or pointing in the right direction would be amazing.

Thanks

Did you post a link I didn't see?

I'll pm if you don't mind, site is launching v.soon and I just have a development url.

Thank you so much.

It doesn't look like the medium picture is going through image handler.

The small url is going to the bmz folder but the medium one isn't.... (and it should be) have another site in process 1.38a, same set up and everything is fine with this, so the only thing I can see is one of the image sizes has thrown image handler (I think)

Any ideas on how to resolve this? everything is being picked up via the default image file option on the image handler admin screen

Should I unistall and overwite?

I make them 50% smaller with irfanview, the previous image now has 400x600 and is 24 Kb in size. I also clear image cache. As I told you, I also erase all the pictures in that category to see what is happening, but no change at all. I will erase again all the images from that category and clear image cache, delete all in bmz_cache from the server, and I will se what is going on again...

And nothing changed, same problem without any picture files.

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

I was stupid stupid stupid!!! I put the pictures in diferent folder/category and some pics were uploaded in diferent folder (/pile was uplodaded in /pensule) and that was the problem!!!! Millllliiiioooons of thanks!!! Maybe someone will learn from my mistake!

Problem.. My additional images are not showing up. Initially I thought this was because of the lightbox, but it seems like it's a problem with IH2 itself. I deleted the lightbox and several additional images wouldn't show up.

The strange thing is, mainly the newer ones don't show up. When I add new additional images to products, they never show up. I have no idea what might've caused this. I did click "clear image cache" once, but that shouldn't delete the new ones I add, right?

I have IH2 installed on v1.38. I am able to get to the IH2 admin page. And the images are in the bmz_cache folder(s). However, when I then view the home page of my site none of the images will appear and I get a blank screen.

I have GD library and imagemagick installed and working on the localhost. Is there a config problem that is keeping IH2 from accessing the necessary files?
Other?

On the other hand, when I uploaded the IH2 files to my live server and installed it everything went fine and the site's images renders great.

Well, animated gif images are no longer animated once they become part of my zen cart site. The images are fine when viewed outside the context of my site.

Problem is, I don't know if it's IH2 or zen cart itself, since I never loaded an animated gif until after I installed IH2.

What would cause the image to be "flattened," as you call it?

The resizing process ... part of GD and PHP. Don't think PHP's part supports animated gifs yet.

You may be able to try using Image Magick instead of the GD library to resize your images.

Hey IH 2.0 guys,

I searched around 80 pages of post by post and my eyes are aching after 3 hours so I'm sorry if this has been answered already : P

I don't know if this occurs for everyone that visits my web page, Endless Sonata, but when I view the page in Internet Explorer 7, the images on the main page under Monthly specials near the bottom, for some odd reason, decide have the rollover image pop-up near the top of the web page.

Can someone help me fix this or le tme know if it might be a problem with only my IE 7?

Thanks,
Warm Regards,
Jason H.

Jason H.

Your not alone. I just noticed it in mine as well and I know theres a fix but i can't find it anymore either.

Someone please point to it. I've searched 2 hours.

Thank You

The fix has been posted before.

Need to download the newest version of IH and replace your old "jscript_imagehover.js" with the new "jscript_imagehover.js"

If your IH version is older then "2.0v0916" then you should replace all the files as there been a few changes.

My eyes are bugging out reading all the threads on this issue, including the ones in archive - I am not seeing the issue I am having, so if I have missed it, please forgive me for double issues.

Installation went like clock work, I have the link in tools for the Image Handler2, but the problem is, when I click the link I get the following error message and I have NO clue what that means:

Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.

Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

To answer some questions that I thought of that may not matter, but I doubled checked anyway, yes, I have GD installed, yes the "bmz_cache" permissions are set the same as my images folder.

Any ideas?
In case you need it, my site is Knot & Bauble Shoppe

Try adding this to your .htaccess file in the admin folder:

Code:

---

#Turn Security Filter Off
SecFilterEngine off

M (tophand),
Thank you! I don't know what it was but all the js files I tried in IH2 wouldn't work. The one you attached finally did the trick. Thank you again.

GJW

To Tophands response, I did as instructed, but now get the error message below that locks out my admin completely until I remove it:

Quote:

---

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

---

Any other ideas? Boy, why is it when I do something it always has to be so complicated?

Thanks tophand, your jscript worked beautifully.


SaMortensen:

Just an idea, doubt its the problem but go to you cPanel for your web hosting and go to File manager. Try changing the permissions of the files you uploaded for IH2 to 755.

Okay, I'll give it a try

A while back there was a bit of discussion about sharpening the images resized by Image Handler, but it appears there was never really any kind of solution discussed. I find that the scaled images are a bit on the fuzzy side, even with compression quality set to 100, so I spent a little time looking around for a solution and found this:

vikjavev.no/computing/ump.php?id=35

Now I am certainly no programmer and integrating this into Image Handler is well beyond my abilities, but this bit of code looks like it will allow IH to generate much better quality scaled images. Anyone up to the challenge of adding this to IH2?

yes, by the time I figured I saw the wrong name, it was too late to change it, yes TestUser, I tried your response, but got the error I posted about in my response that stated Tophand and should have been you instead...any ideas about why that would happen?

Hi there,
Just installed Image handler 2 and its all working fine except for one small glitch.
When the i roll over a small image and the other image apears, it is in the top right of the page and creates more space around the website.
Where can i find the file to change the location of the hover popup?
Thank you,
Liam

You forgot to upload the file style_imagehover.css to the css folder in your template directory.

Please post or PM your .htaccess file from your admin folder.

read your message wrong, thought you were telling me I forgot the css template, my bad. I also pm'd you with my htaccess file contents.

Thank you for your help with this.

Hi, I had installed image handler on 1.3.8. and works fine! But yesterday I don't know why but it stops to work, no more hover, no more resize, no more watermark, nothing, only a popup in white showing no image.
The only thing I have installed were categories dressing and live multichat but I desactivated on layout control boxes in admin and are not the problem I think.
I have installed fual slim box and zen light box.
I delete all the files (fual slim and zen light box as well) and try to installed again, and do it again and again, with different versions from the contributions download page and from breakmyzencart as well and can not get it to work!
Please someone can send me and attachement with this mod that works ok or guide me on how to configure well this mod.
When the mod was working fine, in admin-image handler, in preview the example images were showed in three different sizes and all these times that I've reinstalled again the three images were showed in the same size.
Please I need help because I want to get this mod work again and now I don't know what to do more!

Resolved! - GD was turned off, when I turned on all works again properly.

SaMortensen,



It appears you have admin profiles loaded on your site. The error you show is exactly what you would see when admin profiles stops you from getting someplace in the admin. Goto tools>admin settings> and than next your user you will see a little colored circle with a p in it.....click the little p. You will than be taken to your admin permissions settings. Go to the bottom of the page and look for any check boxes not set.....set them and save (update) you should now have access. You may have to do this when moving through other menus in the system as admin profiles doesn't know they exist until you try to access them for the first time.

Hey IH Support guys,

I apologize if this has been asked and addressed before but my eyes are a'achin from 2 and a half hour of scanning these forums. The only thing that came close to fixing this problem was CraigW's Post. There was one fatal problem behind it though, as he said, it now disables the zoom of IH 2. Can someone please find a way to fix the Internet Explorer problem without inhibiting other functions?

Warm Regards,
Jason H.

Please help. When I go to tools and now try and access IH2, I get this:

Warning: require(includes/ih_manager.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/postocom/public_html/elocin/image_handler.php on line 153

I think it was and still is working correctly, as I have the hover image. Can someone check this page and tell me if Image Handler appears to be working, and what the above image means. I did check and the image_handler.php file does seem to be in the directory.

Hi, I wonder if someone could help? Am setting up a new site and have just installed IH2 at www.gardenproducts4u.com. My checkout is located on a different domain where I have a dedicated certificate. Before I installed IH2 I was able to get get images in my sideboxes ok - now I can not get them when I go to my secure domain. The images are exactly where they were when they did work. Is there some code I have to change to tell IH that my secure site is located elsewhere?

IH works ok in your store.

You are reading the error wrong.
The first part of each error is telling which file you need to look at.

You are missing the ih_manager file or it is corrupt.

This file needs to be in

Code:

admin/includes/

Link/URL of your site would help, so we can view problem.

Misty, ive fixed this problem, but now my additional images sit a little higher than my main image, and the product name and descriped start in the center, instead of below the mail image... heres a link to show what I mean
http://www.bella-bijou.com/index.php...roducts_id=136

Visited site, using IE7, don't see Image Handler installed, but looking
at source, you have 1 Image Handler file missing...i.e. you should have
the following files installed...

Quote:

---

includes/templates/nameofyourtemplate/css/style_imagehover.css
includes/templates/template_default/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js

ok ive installed that, but i still havent figured out how to make my addition images sit nicely alligned with my main image, and make the product name and description start underneth the main image, not halfway through the page.
Any ideas?

This is not really the forum for what you require..only deals
with Image Handler 2. Suggest you post in forum that deals
with customisation/css.

Barco57 - Thanks for that info. Does this only work on the featured products or am I missing something. It works on the featured products, but thats it.

Hi IH2 Community,

I've been pulling my hair out searching for a solution to my IH2 problem. Here's the issue:

When clicking the small thumbnail image to bring up the pop-up window with the large image (store mode), the large image displayed is not the bmz_cache image but the default image (not scaled). Clicking properties of the image show that it's the image from the Image folder not the bmz_cache folder. Now when in the Admin -> Tools -> Image Handler2 area, I can click on the large image and a window pops-up with the cached version properly scaled to the correct size. Clicking properties of this image I see the path to the bmz_cache folder and the correct scaled pixel dimensions.

Here's some important information:
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
v1.3.8 [2007-12-20 21:02:18] (Version Update 1.3.7->1.3.8)
v1.3.7 [2007-12-20 21:02:08] (Version Update 1.3.6->1.3.7)
v1.3.6 [2007-12-20 21:02:00] (Version Update 1.3.5->1.3.6)
v1.3.5 [2007-12-20 21:01:51] (Version Update 1.3.0.2->1.3.5)
v1.3.0.2 [2006-07-14 15:19:06] (Fresh Installation)

Using Image Handler 2.0 for Zen-Cart v1.3.x

ImageMagick & GD librariesis installed

Here's what Ive done to try to fix this problem:

1) Removed Image handler from the database

2) Deleted the bmz_cache directory and individually deleted all IH2 files from the server.

3) Manually uploaded all individual files/directories from the IH@ download (Image Handler 2.0 for Zen-Cart v1.3.x) to the server.

4) Coppied the contents of includes/templates/template_custom into my custom templates folder.

5) Went to admin->Tools->Image Handler 2->Admin and clicked "Install Image Handler".

The behavior of the large image displayed is the same...

Does anyone have any ideas what else I can try to fix this problem?

Hello,

two proposed small contributions :
1. To avoid conflict between IH2 and some other mods. Specifically swap_image_mouseover.
2. To avoid the annoying display of the "standard img alt" text above the "fancy hover" popup image.

Edit functions_bmz_image_handler.php and :
1. Modify $parameters line (1st // CdLB comment)
2. Add the "if clause" after second //CdLB comment :

PHP Code:

---

    if ($ih_image) { 
      $src = $ih_image->get_local();
      // CdLB - 03/2008 - correct a bug that erase $parameters in some case
    //Before : $parameters = $ih_image->get_additional_parameters($alt, $ih_image->canvas['width'], $ih_image->canvas['height'], $parameters);
      $parameters .= ' ' . $ih_image->get_additional_parameters($alt, $ih_image->canvas['width'], $ih_image->canvas['height'], $parameters);

      $parameters = $ih_image->get_additional_parameters($alt, $ih_image->canvas['width'], $ih_image->canvas['height'], $parameters);

        // CdLB - 03/2008 - set $alt to '' if image is managed by IH for fancy image hover only
        if ($ih_image->sizetype == 'small') {               
               $alt = '';
            }
    }

That's it.

Instead of altering the code to remove the Heading in the popup, this would go in your CSS:

.trailimage h1 {display:none;}

That might not be the actual style but it's correct other than that. This is actually a better way of removing the headers, it leaves the ALT tags in place for SEO purposes.

Hello,

Does this mod work with zen1.38?

Clicking properties of the image show that it's the image from the Image folder not the bmz_cache folder. Now when in the Admin -> Tools -> Image Handler2 area, I can click on the large image and a window pops-up with the cached version properly scaled to the correct size. Clicking properties of this image I see the path to the bmz_cache folder and the correct scaled pixel dimensions.

Hi tophand,

Yes, image settings in admin/configuration/images are set to:

IH large image maximum width 750
IH large image maximum height 550

Any other ideas would be appreciated. I'm getting desperate... :(

Hello, I relatively new to zencart so please bear with me.

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.

Tom

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:

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

Thanks again for your help

Hello,

I have IH installed on my site and have some mysterious image processing happening - some images are processed by IH but not others, even if they are side by side, same dimensions, same file rights, etc...

One great example of this awkward problem can be seen here:

http://qcookies.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=66

If you view this in firefox, for example, and you view the Page Info, and then click on the Media tab and go through the image locations, you can see how the image for Easter is the only one NOT processed.

This problem runs rampant throughout the site and i cannot figure out why it's being so mysterious selective with the images it chooses to process. To the best of my knowledge my image settings are good, but this image in the category view that will not conform is a perfect example of how all the conditions are the same and it's being treated differently.

ANY thoughts on this?

Thanks so much-

So far 1 out of 60 images yield this error when the mouse hovers over the Zooming (hot zone+) on a small image showing the MED image size:

from the product info page:

additional_product_image_01.jpg :

javascript error: missing ) after argument list
[Break on this error] showtrail('bmz_cache/6/..........image.395x400.jpg','Product...


I have tired clearing the bmz_cache but IH2 just creates the same image number and error.

running ZC 1.3.8a with IH2_2.0-zc137

Seems ood, that it only happens once in a while...

.Anybody else see this error? Anyway to fix it?

Any special characters in the Product Titles?

dharma, when this happens, is it just on images that has sizes like 395X400? If so, you might try setting the image to 400X400. Don't know if that'll help or not, but I've had odd sizes like that to give me problems, before.

Yes! This

You can remove the title from the JS all together, or make sure it's encoded using htmlentities before being sent to the JS.

I Like the title of the product with the picture, so I guess I leave it in the javascript file and do a google search for this "htmlentities" :eek:business....

Thank you so much for a quick fix and response!:clap:

I have a test site site up here:

http://host277.ipowerweb.com/~ninetrea/

I remember having installed an old version of IH 1.x on it. Now i've installed IH2 for 1.3.7 and unfortunately it isn't working.

Image hovers are broken and images aren't being resized.

Can any Zen Master help me or at least shed some light and point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Have you tried clearing the bmz_cache?

What I do:
admin->tools->Image Handler->Admin and click "Remove Image Handler from Database".
Note: Doing this does not delete "any" files.
Now click the link "Clear image cache".
Might also ftp or use your host control panel and delete all sub folders under bmz_cache folder.
Now click the link to install image handler.

Yes, I have installed it using the admin installer. Still no luck. What I do is select an item from the categories, then browse for the picture locally, then it looks like it uploads the image and even spits back a little message saying it saved the image successfully.

However, the image thumbnails are blank and there are seemingly no images visible where I just uploaded the image....check the screen cap...

Any ideas?

Ok - Did all of that and the issue remains exactly as it was before. :huh:

So, i tried copying another category image that gets processed correctly, then renamed it to the filename for the Easter category, and the copied file got processed. (Go figure.)

How does it know the difference?? Except for the image, EVERYTHING else is the same - dimensions, file extension, ownership settings, file permissions...

I am beginning to think there is something wrong with my new image files but that's such a crazy explanation that i find it nearly impossible to believe...

Ugh!! So Elusive! :frusty:

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!

The actual image dimensions have to be LARGER than the large image size dimensions set in the ih2 settings!!! (In the case of the category image, the actual image sizes of other images on the server were much bigger, so it was getting processed - i was actually wrong in saying that the images were all the same size - i was looking at the sizes of the PROCCESSED images.)

Ok, this prompts me for the back story in case anyone else ever runs into this too:

When i started using zen cart i was already optimizing my images and processing them out of photoshop at the large image dimensions i wanted. So, one of the reasons i installed IH2 was to use the watermarking feature. Well, needless to say, i could never get it to work on the large images and i made a post on here and nobody could figure it out. I figured i messed up something in the core code that i just could - not - find. So i gave up for a while out of frustration.

SO! All i was looking for was to have the large images watermarked, but as it turns out, if an image's actual dimensions are equal to or below the maximum pixel size for width and height in the settings, it will not get processed - even if you want it to put a watermark on it. Since it sees no need to process the image because it is already at the correct pixels, the watermarking never happened on the large images.

Hope that all made sense!

haha, thanks. :smartalec:

It's only taken me about a year to figure it out! That's not a joke, either!! Hence my excitement. :smile:

Perhaps someone who works Image Handler will see my tear jerking story and address this issue because while i might be smart, i'm not smart enough to improve the code!!

One cold beer for me, please. :smile:

Hi
please i need help with image handler 2
Trying to add the 2nd picture i recive

.- Image succesfully saved (in green) at top
.-at botton:

Error!

Unable to determine the page link!

Function used:

zen_href_link('', '', 'NONSSL')


I changed ssl and not secure conections but i have the same error

and the page doen't show the 2nd picture...:wacko:

Great Thanks

My apologies if this has been dealt with before, I've tried searching the threads with no luck so far.

I uploaded IH yesterday to one of my sites and while the image hovers all work, whenever I add an additional image via IH it displays the thumb but doesn't open up, it just hangs there. When I FTP the image it works. The images are all going in the same file whether I FTP them or upload via IH.

I'm using Lightbox and Ultimate SEO URLs, in case any of these might make a difference. I have Lightbox and IH on another site and they seem to work fine.
