I've got to be honest.. I've NEVER been able to get the watermarking in IH2 to work correctly, and I decided to let that battle go.. My clients now use a watermarking tool that batch processes whole folders of files.. Then they upload the watermarked images via IH2.. I know that's not the solution to what's wrong with IH2, but it is a viable alternate solutionif it helps..

I did some looking around and it would seem the path wasn't getting set correctly for these images.. all had a double /cart/cart in them.
I opened up image_handler.php and hacked the bottom of the page where the images where linked. I changed:
to:Code:<td><img style="border: 1px solid #000000; background:url(images/checkpattern.gif)" src="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . $images['pngsource']?>" /></td>
<td><img style="border: 1px solid #000000; background:url(images/checkpattern.gif)" src="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . $images['pngsmall']?>" /></td>
<td><img style="border: 1px solid #000000; background:url(images/checkpattern.gif)" src="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . $images['pngmedium']?>" /></td>
In the sections marked <!-- source png row --> <!-- source jpg row --> and <!-- source gif row -->Code:<td><img style="border: 1px solid #000000; background:url(images/checkpattern.gif)" src="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER .'/'. $images['pngsource']?>" /></td>
<td><img style="border: 1px solid #000000; background:url(images/checkpattern.gif)" src="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER .'/'. $images['pngsmall']?>" /></td>
<td><img style="border: 1px solid #000000; background:url(images/checkpattern.gif)" src="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . '/' . $images['pngmedium']?>" /></td>
Not sure if everyone was having this issue or just me. It would appear I have everything defined correctly.

It would appear I had an old version of IH2 installed this whole time. Reading through the release notes of various versions I believe some of my problems might have been addressed if I had been using Rev 7 this whole time.
I've overwritten the original IH2 files with Rev 7 and this seemed to fix up the preview images and I think it would have also fixed my hover issues.
I still get some images working and some not though. I've tried to troubleshoot and figure out what's going on but nothing I'm doing is having any effect.
You can see it clearly on my specials page:
http://beta.buydentalequipment.com/cart/specials
Three images are missing the watermark and zoom + completely. If you view images on these it will point to the original image and not to the bmz_cache. Mousing over these images does produce the zoom however.
It seems to be random. Some categories are devoid of watermarks some are half and half and yet others have all their watermarks applied.
Also.. while notes in the various versions said that IH2 doesn't apply to the default no_image file it seems on mine it does.

I don't have a problem at all to watermark images.Quote:

In my live website they are set to "no" because I don't like the effect and don't care if somebody steals the images.
That's all I do, no special trick.
You kucky. I'm missing something...Quote:

I am experiencing a strange situation with IH2.
After choosing the category/sub-cat from the drop down box under Manager page, IH2 goes back to the Admin page? Also it is showing "* Product is disabled* for 2 sub-cats that I just added products to - so they are not "disabled."
A bit confused as to why IH2 is going back to the Admin page and why is it saying these 2 sub-cats have disabled products?
Some of my clients do care about their photos being stolen (it happens A LOT in their industires). I'm gonna take another look at it, but even if I got the watermarking to work consistently, I don't like the way the IH2 watermarks look.. The batch watermarking software my clients use does a much nicer job..Quote:

I know.. But it never looks as nice to me as the watermarking software I use.. Maybe I'll play around with it more on my test store this weekend..Quote:
