The only thing that fixes them is if I set the following to 0
Image - Use Proportional Images on Products and Categories
However on doing so..the Product Info - Image disappears, has anyone seen this problem and know how to fix it.
Thanks

Based on looking at your site my best guess is that your install of IH2 is incomplete. There is a part of the package that allows the main product image to be processed and cached by IH2. (see here for an example: http://zentestcart.overthehillweb.co...&products_id=3) Your main product image is not a cached image which leads me to believe you have an incomplete IH2 installation.

Some additional details and a specific example as to what issue you are experiencing would be a big help.. (link to a specific product so the issue you are reporting can be seen would be a huge help)

Moreover, what happen when installing upgrade Zen cart? I worry need to re-install IH2 again, it causes a lot of work.
What Google issue are you speaking of?? All of my clients run IH2 and to my knowledge there are no issues with Google and their sites..
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Hey nigel, do you think it's a worthwhile exercise to include your hack in the next IH2 release?? Or would it make more sense to include some information and the instructions for your hack in the readme??

this is a hack, there is probably a better way to do this, BUT
in this file
includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php
around line 690
add the following directly underneath (cut and paste it), basically it replaces any single quote apostrophe with a single fancy quote
as always use at your own risk, i have tested it on my site and it seems to work fine
It isn't the most elegant, however this is a weird bug, all the apostrophes in the javascript code are being escaped, but only on the additional images bit, and i can't find the cause
and before you say it, i did try changing ' to ' but it didn't work

Hi Diva, personally i'd include it, it is a hack, but it does solve a problem that at some stage will need to be looked at, I tried to trace the error back to its source but couldn't isolate it, (I have 2 very bored under 5s who have been sick for 6 weeks and dads office is the coolest place in the world)
Somewhere in the call for the additional images bit, the entire javascript call is being escaped, rather than just the product title.

Hello DivaVocals, thanks for your assistance, I have did a reinstall of the module and followed up by checking each and every file, they are all loaded in their correct location. I did a reinstall of IH from the database..Still the same issue. I assume that it is compatible with PHP Version 5.2.3-1ubuntu6.3 and zen 1.3.8a.
I have IH2 Rev 7 on another cart same server and settings..No problem.
Please see my settings below, though I wouldn't think they have an effect of image size irregularity within the same...

Re: Image Handler 2 Support
@renz
are you sure its not because some of your images are smaller than than 120px
eg
http://www.colourshield.com/store/images/Clay_Lube.jpg is only 100x 100
Image Handler doesn't resize images smaller than the settings set in admin
Also if you are using proportional images, which any sane person would
read the note

Use Proportional Images on Products and Categories?
NOTE: Do not use 0 height or width settings for Proportion Images
you need to set a height for your images
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
Hi nigelt74,
Ok I tried something here:
I set all image sizes W & H to 100 a little smaller than what I wanted though...
I noted that I still have irregular image sizes and hover does not resize by much or equally.
As an example this product http://www.colourshield.com/store/in...roducts_id=191 which has a smaller image than the others on the store home page has actually an image loaded of 354px × 265px pls see http://www.colourshield.com/store/images/Towels.jpg so truly I am baffled.
Thanks
RR

you don't need to set all your W & H to 100, but as you can see it's now working, you just need to jig things till they work
Here are the settings from a working shop, it might help?

IH2 will NOT make this image 100x100 since it creates images which maintain the proper image proportions within the height and width specifications you set in your image settings...
IH2 creates the smaller image based on the size of the large image and it maintains the proper aspect proportions if you have the proper settings to do this.. (which like Nigel says you DO want to do this)
If you want equally sized small, medium and large images, you need to make sure the large images are ALL the same dimensions.
If you want to make sure that all the small and medium images are the same size, you will need to do some work to calculate the correct width and height that your large images should be. You will need to determine which dimensions will yield proportional and equally sized small and medium images...
