Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Hello all, We are trying to give our images friendly names. However for example, when we name an image necklace.jpg on the file system, zen cart renames the image. I noticed this by surfing to the web page that has the necklace image and viewing source. Zen Cart renames the image to something like: It is renaming it as GUID. http://www.spendyourhusbandsmoney.co...ge.124x120.jpg
Is there a way to maintain a friendly name for each of our images?
We already posted this question in the general questions and based from the response we got (appreciate it a lot, glenn!) that it is because of the image handler 2. Without IH2, there is no impediment of naming our images exactly as we want. Is that really true? Any solution on that you all might know or suggestion how to fix it? (we don't want to take out the IH2 from our site though)
Thanks,
Joy Crossley

Not possible with Image Handler. It needs to ensure that every image is uniquely named and so generates names using an algorithm designed to prevent rather than sound pretty.
To name the images how you want you would need to dispense with Image Handler and take the responsility for avoiding name clashes yourself (or re-write Image Handler with different priorities). The only restriction would be the length of the image name including any preceeding path names (32 characters I believe - though you can increase it by changing the database table schema).

Hi Kuroi,
Another question, what all we lose by taking the image handler out of play. If we remove IH2, our only concern is making sure each of our images is uniquely named?
Thanks!

So far this is a GREAT tool. I'll be sending you something via PayPal after I get some sales registered.
Thank you very much for the work on this.

I think my eyes are glazing over all my searches, so I apologize if it's been asked before (which it probably has... >.<).
My problem is, I want the mouse-over effect on only images in the product listing and product info pages.
When enabled on small images it does it for icons for categories too, and I've tried disabling it for small images, and leaving it enabled for medium images, but then it doesn't work mouse-over zoom on anything!
Thanks for your help. <3

Mouseover was never enable for the product display page (medium sized images) as it uses the same image for both (mouse over effect).
Do a search for my user name is this thread. I list what image placements uses IH based upon what the small image size.
You can control this by image size you set in Admin--> Images.
What you need to do is change the categories image size so it's not the same size as the small image, Admin--> Images.
