There is a mod called "Additional images relocated with CSS", my site uses it, check it out to see if it is what you need.
Printable View
To build a local site that replicates your live one is easier than you think, everything is explained in the Zen Cart Manual.
You don't need to stop testing because you are having an online sale, since the test site will come out of your local server.
This is unrelated to IH2, so PM me for further instructions, if you would.
I already have the images located beneath the main product image, wish I would have seen that mod before I dug through the code and edited it...
I really appreciate the quick response, I'm here at work for 2 more hours trying to get as much as I can done on this thing...
Sorry if it didn't come out clear, but I need the individual attribute image names beneath the individual color image options.
So White/Red would be right below the image of the White/Red product, etc etc.
Anyone else have any ideas?
(This has nothing to do with IH)
You can set this via the attribute controller.
Admin-->Catalog-->Attribute Controller.
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...tes_Controller
Also think there is a mod, check the Free Software Add ons link above.
Agreed.
I encourage the use of the Zen Cart manual, everything is explained there, in chapter 13, Attributes.
However, I believe these options are set in Option Names Manager --> Edit, it will show different styles for attributes to display.
Anyway, there are other threads more appropriate for discussing these page layout issues.
This may seem like a silly question, but in the product preview page, when listing a new item or editing an existing item, the image that is displayed there is not re-sized by IH2. Is there a way to tell IH2 to do its magic there as well?
Thanks for all the help!
I understand what you're saying about the attribute controller...
I fixed that part as you can see here:
http://www.trueclothing.net/zen/inde...roducts_id=194
I have the arrangement close to what I want, but now I was wondering if there's a way to get the images to pop up like image handler's extra images does. I need the attribute image to stay next to the text...
If you are going to refer me to "Attribute Pop-Up Images" it doesn't work with the settings I have... any other suggestions?
** EDITED *** Never ever post in a forum, email, newsletter etc. the zenid or zenAdminID or you will be doomed!! :eek:
Ok this thread is way too long, it is too time consumin to search for answers!
here is my basic question, we already have a store set up and runing well now for 18 months, but our bandwidth usage is killing us, so we ahve to reduce the space images are taking up.
If we install image handler 2 will it be an issue that the images are already on our site and may vary in size.
If you think it may be please offer some advise before we install on Saturday. We are using verson 1.3.7.
Thanks

Sorry that I wasn't more clear, but I am talking about the admin side. On the admin side of the site, under admin>catalog>categories/products I am building a more customized page with thumbnails in the categories.php page and wondering if there is a way to have IH2 do it's magic there, on the admin side of the site.
Okay, I'm confused here...
What image size (the small, med, or large) do we need for image handler and which folder does it go in?
I assumed (and that gets me in trouble) that we needed the 500 x 500 named like it is the 100 x 100 (as in no _LRG extension) and that it went in the image folder not the large folder.
Am I correct? This is how I saw it uploaded before:
Old structure:
store/image/picture.jpg (100 x 100)
store/image/medium/picture_MED.jpg (300 x 300)
store/image/large/picture_LRG.jpg (500 x 500)
Assuming now with IH2:
store/image/picture.jpg (500 x 500)
store/image/medium/ (nothing uploaded)
store/image/large/ (nothing uploaded)
Also, on my main page, on my live store, the image that shows under the product is the 100 x 100 preview. Right now, the image that is showing is the 500 x 500.
HELP!!!
This is on a test site.

New problem and I haven't seen an actual solution, just a work around.
PNG files. I have some that are required. I have a scrapbooking site and there ARE times, when showing off a png is preferable to a gif or a jpg.
With that said, yes, I have tried 16 bit, 24 bit, and 32 bit and NONE of them work. Using IE 8 which is suppose to be friendlier to PNG than IE7 or IE6. ( I'm actually running three browsers but doing this in IE)
Most of them I have converted to jpgs. But I need to find a solution not a workaround.
I have searched the thread which is why I found out about the 16 vs 32 bit (mine were actually 8 bit and showed just fine before).
So if anyone has any ideas?

Hi - looked folr an answer to this problem unsucsefully. installed IH2; hovering working, when I add image via categories/products image gets added and sized correctly.

I installed image handler on a store with working and live products.
The new Products category shows the image handler working but when I go and click on manufacturers it doesnt any more.
I checked image libraries and they show that the images are resized.
Anybody know why its not workin on main manufacturers images but it is in new products?
Im thinking its a script issue somewhere because it only works on the new products box on main page.
I uploaded a new product to see if images needed to be chagned to make it work and nothing happened it stayed like all the rest.
It seems to me a possible script error somewhere but not certain .. nay help would be great. Store this is happening on
http://thecreativitybox.com
All the sizes are set the same.
The image handler will work on all the products but only if they are showin in the new products box or in the reviews box. Still thinking its a script thing
I even went and tested it on a zen set up I already have with existing content and it worked fine.
I have installed IH2, mainly to get watermarks on my large images.
Only the small images in the what's new sidebox display a watermark. I have created a watermark_LRG.png and uploaded it to /images/large.

Hello all,
New to both IH2 and ZC here. I copied the IH2 files into the shop directory, installed IH2 in the Admin page, and my main shop page went blank, except for a few bars and links, and I'm not seeing a way to fix it. Can you please help?

Hi,
I have all my main images uploaded at 700px wide by 1050px high. Which in hindsight was a bit large.
So, I set IH2 in admin to IH large image maximum width 600 and
IH large image maximum height 900.
Now, when I click on additional images, they open at the 600x900 dimensions. HOWEVER, when I click on the main product image, it is still coming up as 700x1050.
Anyone know why the additional images are obeying the IH2 admin settings, but the main image is not?
Hi, I have a serious problem with IH2 and have not come across any solutions that work except deactivating IH2.
I posted my problem in a different thread since at that time I was not 100% sure it had to do with IH2:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=126691
To summarize my problem: I have a shop (about 1000 products) running for many years now. In the last 2 years, I have been using IH2 without any problems. Now since a couple of weeks, after adding new products, the front-end page that displays this product would just blank the part starting where the product display starts. The header and all the stuff that is loaded before the product, is displayed, but not the rest. The same thing happens for categories that contain at least one of the "bad" products, resulting in blanking the whole category!
I've read of other people having the same problem but could not find any answers nor solutions.
Any suggestions on what I could do? If not, are there any automatic resizing alternatives to IH2?
I appreciate your help!
yes, cleared the cache. but it took only a second or less, is that normal? nevertheless, does not solve the problem.
@tophand: checked titles, but all clean as well.
oh and some more information on the configuration I'm running:
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
PHP 4.49 (could that be the problem???)
MySQL 4.1
Does anyone know how to apply the IH2 maximum image size setting to the main image as opposed to just the additional images?
No thats not normal. If you are on a shared sever it should have took a little bit more time than that. I would go to your sever and check the bmz_cache and make sure it is set to 777. Check and see if you have anything in there, if not then the problem is somewhere else.
That shouldn't make any difference with this module but I would upgrade if you can. Most severs give you an option in c panel under File Extension or your server may use a different language but it is their. Switch to the extension php5. Check under your store admin/tools/Server Information and make sure GD librariesQuote:
oh and some more information on the configuration I'm running:

or ImageMagick are installed. Let me know.
the bmz_cache folder is full, folders ranging from 0 to 9 and a to f and in those folders all the image files...
GD libraries are installed.
I mean the weird thing is that this problem is only on some of the products I recently added, not all of them. This is what confuses me the most.
thanks for your support so far!
ok, tried to clear the cache a couple times through the admin interface, but doesn't seem to work. the bmz_cache folder still contains 16 folders with each having around 300 files in there.
tried to clear it manually (just renamed the original bmz_cache dir and created a new one) but this way, the shop uses the original full-sized images and just downscales them. is that normal? shouldn't IH2 create the resized images of the requested images automatically and put them in the bmz_cache directory?
Is image handler supposed to resize the main image as well as the additional images?
Need help with Image handler I have sucessfully installed it and used it but there is javascript errors on my page while mouse over on the slide box images can some one help me to solve these errors my web site address is www.albadhar.com

saqib
Sorry to keep asking the same question, but no one ever answers and every time I check back there are a few posts here that push my question back a few posts and make it unnoticeable.
I'm trying to figure out how to apply the IH2 maximum image size setting to the main image as opposed to just the additional images?
Just to explain again, I have all my main images uploaded at 700px wide by 1050px high. Which in hindsight is too large for most screens.
So, I set IH2 in admin to IH large image maximum width 550 and
IH large image maximum height 825.
Now, when I click on additional images, they open at the 550x825 dimensions. HOWEVER, when I click on the main product image, it is still coming up as 700x1050.
Anyone know why the additional images are obeying the IH2 admin settings, but the main image is not?
I get a massive white space at the top of my page when I scroll down, anyone know why this is?
here is my website http://www.clotheage.com
I've added the code but the white space is still there? :blink: any other possibilities?
try #trailimageid{display:none;}
You're welcome, that's what this forums is for, helping each other...
Can anyone help me with post #3944 above?
I checked and the images in a lot of cases are being pulled from the bmz_cache so image handler is taking care of them. I wonder if in some cases the images you have in the large folder with the _LRG on them are overriding image handler functions (which is how you override IH2).
as a side note your dynamic currency converter doesn't always work for everyone. I have yet to get it to finish loading, which means I never get the light box on the large images.
Interesting assumption re the _LRG images as I didn't used to use IH and so a lot of my ads are still using the old _LRG _MED structure. However, all of my new ads are using only one image in the main images folder, for example this ad. This doesn't have _LRG files and yet IH2 still opens the main image at full 700 wide resolution.
As for dynamic currency converter, I'm hoping you've experienced some sort of temporary glitch. It certainly loads for me real quick. Could you check again if you get a minute?
In short, none. I have no idea what to try. All I've thought of so far is to disable and re-enable IH via admin and to change the settings in admin to different sizes. Other that that nothing. I've considered uninstalling and re-installing IH2, do you think that'd help?
Limelites,
I checked one of my older installs of lightbox and IH2 and found that it exhibits the same behavior and thinking about it I do recall this is why we decided to upload the large images in the final size we wanted them to be displayed at. You will find that if you turn off the lightbox the large images will then display at the size you have specified. So IH2 is doing what it is supposed to but lightbox is overriding the behavior in regard to the main image.
Please look at my site http://www.etrade8888.com/
(This is live)
Can anyone suggest me why the IH2 not working on internet explorer , though it works for FF.
My zencart version is Zen Cart 1.3.8
Thanks, vichan
Hello vichan,
I have no problem seeing Image Handler 2 on IE 8, flock, Avant. You have to position your mouse at the right spot. Your image is quite large so move up a bit and you will see Image Handler 2 does it stuff.
Boss thanks for your reply but the above post # seems to be wrong. please advice.
Best Regards,

Hello Vichan,
I check your website on IE 7 and your image does show for me.
Your image is too big for it to show. It need room. If you reduce your image side. You should not have any problem with image handler 2. Test it yourself.
Reduce your image size. Test it and see if it workout.
Sorry to ask a question that must have been asked before - I have spent a good hour trawling through this thread looking for an answer...
I have IH2 installed with zencart 1.3.8 and it has been working great. However, have noticed now that while additional images are loaded fine and visible in IH2 via the admin interface, they are not appearing on the website and I am not sure why.
Thanks in advance for any help to resolve this.
Hi,
I installed this onto my site www.buysmilighttubes.co.uk
And on firefox no issues it seems to work really well but on IE it shows errors
I no this has been covered and another guy was refered to a post number to resolve this but I have read the info from that post with no luck.
Can some one please explain how to fix this..
The error I get on my IE in the left had corner is;
Line 125
Char 7
Error PageY is null or not an object
Code 0
Thanks guys
Chris.
I have just upgraded a site from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8a and my multiple product images no longer show up in the store. I can see them in the admin panel.
I can see the crazy filenames are being written via javascript but the images are not appearing.
I am not familiar with IH2, would clearing the cache help resolve the problem?
Thank you
I have narrowed down the issue to javascript. Browsing with js off I can see the images just fine. What is the normal fix for IH2 not correctly writing javascript? Thanks again.
This is what I had reported to me. However it appears that what is happening is that some additional images are appearing, some are not.
Here is a link to a product which has one additional image showing but not all of the additional images which have been loaded in ImageHandler
http://www.liquidationstockuk.co.uk/...products_id=44
I notice that the images that are not appearing are large file sizes - 1.7mb some of them.
Do they need to be resized before image handler can handle them?
hi all,
I increased the size of my listing images. Now they don't show hover anymore. I think the problem is that the image that hovers has become smaller than the image that is displaced. If this is the case then please suggest how can I increase the size of the image hover so that it starts showing again.
Thanks,
hc
Thanks tophand that works great.
Don't know how I missed your post in this thread, I spent hours here.
PS sorry about origanally posting in the wrong form, I'm still getting the hang of things.
I'm not sure where this post will appear in this thread so...
Tophand's replacement file here fixes the "bug" in IE where your thumbs pop-up is in the wrong place.

hi all,
a very strange thing is happening with my cart. :lamo:
Whenever I change the size of the 'Image - Product Listing Height' or 'Image - Product Listing Width' then the product listing doesn't show the image hover on it. Please check my site's page here http://www.india-gifts-mall.com/rakhi/auspicious-rakhi . Please give me a solution.
Another thign I want is increase the size of the hover image ie I want the large image in the hover. Is it possible?
Please help me with these anyone.
Thanks in advance,
hc
Thanks for the hint ckosloff. Everything appears to be in the right place but obviously something got malformed during my upgrade.
If I remove IH2 by clicking on the uninstall link, and then removing all of the associated files will I lose all of the images I have uploaded and configured through IH2? There are several hundred products in the store with multiple images so having that hosed would be a shame.
Currently I have turned IH2 off and the additional images appear.
Thank you

The hover/popup image is the medium sized image which is the product display image.
Admin-->Config-->Images
I'm having trouble with the hover zoom (not sure what to call it) when I use any template other than classic. It works fine with classic. But with "Pure Blue" and "The Bookshelf", when I hover over an image, the screen jumps way down, and the image is displayed at the top. With "Classic" the screen doesn't move at all, the image just zooms very nicely. I'm not sure where to start to get this fixed.
Go to this page, and move your cursor over the image:

Hi
I am new to zencart and i am having some trouble putting image handler 2 on it. i have uploaded the files to includes/templates/custom/templates is this the correct place? as it is not showing up in my admin (image handler install). my site is www.gothiclilithslocker.co.uk and this is sending me around the twist so please help! :huh:
thanks
lilith x
btw i have read through the forum but still can't find an answer.
tophand,
Thank you for your help. it worked and today i am exceptionally happy. :clap:
Now I have to conquer the other problem.
Bridgett
Woo hoo! That worked. Thank you so much.
Now for my next question - once I click on that small image, it takes me to the more info page, where my medium image is displayed. I can't get the hover to work on that image. I'd like to hover over the medium and get the large image to pop up without clicking. Can that be done.
Here's where I want the zoom to work:

HI, We installed Image Handler a few weeks ago to our site and since then our traffic from google, particularly google images has dropped by 2/3rds.....my programmer thinks it's because the images are renamed into unrecognisable names through IH2....any other ideas? Has this happened to anyone else? If so what did you do? Thanks
How to apply watermark for additional images in product info page. if the size for additional images are the listing size or small size. it add a watermark, but if i simple change the size of the additional images to a bigger one, like the MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, it won't work...please
็HI,
could you please check on my store http://fashionbyim.com/shop/
The IH2 didnot work on Internet Explorer too
Hi,
I see that many people have the same problem to what I am experiencing, but it does not seem to be explained in this forum. In the past I just have ignored this error and turned the hover feature off. But the mouse over effect is the best feature of IH2.
If you make any changes to the IH2 from configuration/images it will stop the hover display on small images.
When I then look at my site, trail my mouse over an image, I get the following error message for each picture I trail my mouse over:That results on as many errors on the page, as there are images to display.Code:showtrail is not defined
onmouseover(mouseover clientX=543, clientY=525)index.ph...HqA%3D%3D (line 2)
[Break on this error] showtrail("bmz_cache/f/f6ce20017...3, 175, 247, 350, this, 0, 0, 123, 175);
Does anyone have a fix for this?
Also would it be possible to put a transparent pixel over the image displayed? This would make it very hard for anyone to copy the pictures, as with right-click and screen-grab, you would just have a blank image.
Many thanks,
Goshawk
Image Handler 2 seems to not be not working after adding the most recent security patch for the admin area.
When I try to upload, and hit "save", I just get bounced back to the top of the admin section.
On 1.3.8a
Anybody else seeing this?
Hi all
Image Handler 2 is going to save me loads of time. I'm really pleased with it and I'll gladly donate when it's working fine. My only problem is that large images are shown in the product info page instead of the medium images. This only occurs when they've been uploaded with Image Handler. I can't see a setting for this. How do I ensure my products info pages show medium images
Thanks, Steve
ps a search box in the admin would be nice : )
Goshawk I would normally agree, but a huge drop in sales as well, doesn't make sense. Nothing else changed on our site.
I tried re-installing IH2 and for some strange reason the mouse over does not work on the product display new products or listing of products.
It works on the sideboxes. All I did was change the size the image in admin.
