Image Handler 2 (for ZC v1.3.8 ONLY) Support

I'll be removing IH2 v2 rev7 later today after several hours of reading through this forum for solutions on the watermarks and hover. I was able to get watermark & hover working for small to medium but not medium to large.

Many of my products have additional images which were fully functional prior to IH but are now not showing. I see this has been an issue that's occurring for people but don't see a solution that applies to my image structure.

I also have issues under Tools - Image Handler If I click a product and display the images appear and then just disappear, however some products show perfectly fine.

I may try a fresh install in the future/next weekend to see if it's a bad install on my part but for now....

If you are referring to the hover effect on the product page image, this feature has NEVER worked in Image Handler

Have you looked at your product names.. Certain characters in product names can affect the modules behavior and the the additional product images behavior. This has been a well documented function in Image Handler.

Again certain characters used in product names or image file names can affect the modules behavior.

Thanks for responding DivaVocal!:smile:

I'll take a look but I have 1200-1300 products some with additional images and some without. I'm not sure it will be worth the hours that may be involved. I can add a watermark using other methods and my end goal was to add Fual Slimbox.

Double quotes and single quotes in product names are common culprits (and this has been documented in this support thread). I imagine that forward and backward slashes would also possibly cause issues as well..

I cannot find any "Optional Extras" folder in the download. I downloaded twice just to make sure I got a good download. Is this "Optional Extras" folder and files within no longer apart of this contribution? Is the readme.html file not entirely updated for the latest version? Can I disregard any talk about "Optional Extras"?

Thanks!

I can't find a folder named "optional extras" either. Can someone tell me what this is referring to in the zip file? Is it all the folders with the name extra_ in them? My first time installing, I skipped those and my admin panel wouldn't load giving me two error messages that those files were missing. I plan to use Slimbox on top of IH2. So, I really need to exclude these. I'm going to uninstall IH2 now. Hoping for a response :)

HI
As long as you have downloaded the updated version I think your good to go - There is no optional extra files in there - Im on the understanding that the optional extra files were in the previous versions which had errors and the current version has rectified the errors without the option extra files.

I installed image handler 2 a couple of weeks ago and didnt get any optional extra files - I just followed the installation guidelines and everything works file.

I would suggest you add the 2 files which you missed out and that should do the trick

thanks

Just forget the Optional Extras folder.
As has been copiously explained in this thread, the readme, the restoration.zip files, etc., that folder was inserted in the previous version and caused a support nightmare, which still continues.
You DO NOT need it.
Just install rev. 7 as is.
