/admin/image_handler.php
/admin/includes/ih_manager.php
This problem has already been addressed "ad nauseam".
I use the files that I have submitted to Diva and have no problem whatsoever with watermarks: be it product_info image or additional; sizes small, medium or large.
I have set it up this way at www.ladywig.com for users to see, still haven't made up my mind to continue watermarking images.
Site design and content are obsolete.
The watermarking works just fine on the large images.. However it seems to not work on the additional large images.. I'm at a race event right now.. So I'll test more when I get back home tonight.. will report back my findings later..
Just so it's clear to all, watermarking and fancy image effects is NOT the reason to use Image Handler.. You should use Image Handler to ease management of your product images and to optimize your product images (ie improve imagerendering/performance).. Watermarking and fancy hovering are nice features, but they are not the compelling reason to use Image Handler at all..

I must make a note of that in the 139 list of working 138 mods on next update, including the 777 chmod security risk IH2 may open people up to. :shocking:
Hey Shane, I was thinking of installing this mod until your post. Would you mind pointing me to the page of a security discussion or just explain your concern?Quote:

Also while DivaVocal does a great job in supporting this mod, she herself admits that her coding skills aint good enough to be a main developer of this mod.Quote:

so i posed the question here, I asked on this IH2 thread if it could be integrated but it fell on deaf ears.
I had a bespoke mod created that does the same job as IH2 solely for the fact I needed image resizing & watermarks ASAP as my server is php5.3 and rev8 was taking too long. That doesnt use any folders at 777, so I guess with the developers being bright men they could fix this if they wanted to.
Overall, I still recommend IH2, but this 777 setting causes me unrest.

Interesting. Now I don't know if I should trust this mod and use it or pay the $ for Ma gic To ols....... I really like the idea of not having to go create extra images for large pictures and thumbnails and so on but I also haven't seen IH2's working mouse over zoom feature either......
Ian
there is no doubt (from what i have read and experienced) that IH2 improves the speed of a ZC website.. but until someone smart and trusted says “in this case the chmod 777 in the IH2 BMZcache folder is safe”, then its something i wont risk using again.
Simply as my biggest fear is that of being hacked. (and wasps, they scare me too)
and i think one day some nasty ***** will workout a way to hack this folder and do damage.
But I could be wrong.... but nee one seems to be vocal about the security questions I have asked... so i will keep my guard up for now
Setting the bmz_cache to 755 works just fine for me.Quote:
