Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Version: Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8
Template: Custom
Addons: Image Handler 2, v2.0; Slimbox Zencart
URL: http://www.myhauterepublic.com/index...to0t7gra6qgeg0
I just installed Image Handler 2 and Slimbox Zencart today onto the site above. It will not show the additional images, just a box where they should go. I have switched it over to Classic to see if it worked there, and it does. So I know the problem is in my template. Only thing is, I have no idea where to start looking. Please help!!

Honestly this is NOT an IH2 support issue.. As you pointed out the issue is clearly in your template.. You will need to post your question in a separate thread..
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
So I've been following this thread for a few weeks now, anticipating the new release that will be compatible with the latest ZC. I wish I could volunteer to beta, but I do not meet the requirements ckosloff outlines so I must wait.
Instead, I have been building/modding a ZC. I ran into a massive image naming problem yesterday while building an easypop import file for about 10k products and it got me to wondering about the basics of IH.

This contribution uses GD libraries or ImageMagick (if installed on your server) to generate and resize small, medium and large images on the fly on page request. You can simply upload just one image or you can have different sources for medium and large images.
1. How do I figure out if GD libraries or ImageMagick is installed on my server? If I can choose, which is better for IH?
2. Resizing "on the fly" is a reference to weight, correct? In other words, a 24kb large image might be resized down to a 7kb thumb?

I understand. I was hoping someone with the same issue would have an idea of where a good place to look would be. Thank you for your time.
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Thanks for the input, Shane! I just fired off an inquiry.
In rereading, it appears that IH will use GD libraries.... or ImageMagick if you have it installed:

So it defaults to GD unless you have the other installed?
I am lucky in that my host will probably install ImageMagick if I request it. Is that the preferred route for IH?

Just on the first page of the New Products For June you have a bunch of products and when you move the mouse over the Image you get a large size of the image about 2 times biger ! how did you do that ?

1) Login intio your zencart Admin select VERSION, should be right next to the LOGOFF link on the right hand side, click on it, scroll down till you find the listing for the GD library

<?php phpinfo(); ?>
Create a blank file in your store root, put the text above in it, save, name the file phpinfo.php (it is the phpinfo built-in function), point your browser to it and scroll down to the appropriate section.
You don't need to choose between GD and ImageMagick, depending on the server and GD version you might have different versions of it bundled into PHP (native, non-native), but it makes no difference for IH2.
I am now going to test on 1.3.9d, phew!
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Thanks for the info, ckosloff!
Looks like I'm good to go.... if/when they ever stop releasing new versions of ZC so you guys can stop working on IH :P
