I'll browse the ZJ Silver/Black support thread and see what comes up there. Thanks for the idea.

For my own amusement I uninstalled Lightbox 1.5 to see if it made a difference. The main product image reverts to the old way of displaying but the gallery addition remains the same. No effect on the issue I am seeing.

I reinstalled Lightbox, again no change to the gallery issue on the product.

Okay this issue is not an IH or Lightbox problem but a problem with the ZJ templates and more likely residing with JCarousel that was included with the template pack. It looks to be a known issue but the Dev on the original template seems to have abandoned the project.

That is the default behaviour of IH2, it will not hover over the main image.
You can install Zen Lightbox or Fual Slimbox to get a lightbox there.

I just installed IH2 locally and everything is working fine. I'm just wondering how its cache works? Is it "intelligent" and uses the same cache for multiple visitors? I've checked the BMZ_CACHE and it seems to use the same cached images over and over again, but this is just locally and with one user - me. I recon bandwidth would be quite an issue if 10-20 visitor surfed the shop at the same time and IH2 cashed the images individually for each customer.
I bet it's not even an issue, but I want to be sure before going live.

Really basic question about installtion. Just downloaded files, and following the install instructions, renamed the admin folder, but when I get to renaming the template, I find a classic folder, template_default, and YOUR_TEMPLATE. I use the classic template that came with Zen, contemporary green.

Question is, do I rename YOUR_TEMPLATE contemporary green? If I try to rename it classic, it of course says that folder already exsists.

I am confident that this is a stupid question, however, maybe some one will take pity on me.

Many Thanks
Dalton

Ending up renaming YOUR_TEMPLATE to classic, and merged the two folders. Uploaded via ftp the entire store root folder to my root directory, per read me instructions, opened admin, no menu choice to install image handler. Deleted store root folder from my root directory and will wait for some direction. ( I hope)

Sincere apologies if this has been answered in the last 400 pages

I've tried to search but nothing comes up that matches

Basically, on some products the 'select action' pane is missing - i.e. there is no 'New File' button

Is this something basic? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Kaine

fixed

it seems related to image size - not sure the exact size where the problem shows up, but I just resized the images down from 330kb to under 90kb and now the button appears

It appears to me it gets generated once, and used for every visitor. I can't confirm it though.

As each image is requested it is retreived from the cache if available. Otherwise it is created and stored in the cache for future requests (by everyone).
