The front end will work whether or not IH is installed, next time it is uninstalled, check that the front end is actually serving the files from the bmz_cache rather than from imagesQuote:

Well, no luck. I cannot install the IH folder contents in my store..which is called www.mydomain.com/zencart because the folders that it wants to put there, already exist.
What I did do was put the contents of each of the folder from IH into each of the corresponding folders on my server in the store"Zencart". After installing each of the files and folders, I did have a "ImageHandler3" at the bottom of the tools pulldown, I hit the install link for IH3 and then when I went to use IH , I dropped down to tools>ImageHandler3 and was presented with a blank screen, so I'm definitely not doing something right here.
1) yes the folders will already exist, because all add-ons are made of a number of files that have to be in specific foldersQuote:

The install files are new files that you are adding and
The Required Core Edits are files that need to overwrite existing files to add new functionality regarding image handler to those files
If your install is new and you have no other add-ons installed you should be able to just install both folders easily, if however you have installed other add-ons you need to check that none of them are using the files that the "required core edits" folder will overwrite. If they are you will need to merge the two versions of that file
-----------------edit
you also need to rename some folders
in includes/modules there will be a folder called your-template, rename that to the name of your template
in includes/templates there will be a folder called your-template, rename that to the name of your template
GOT IT ! Thank you. I didn't realize that iit was ok for the already existing files and folders to be rewritten. Works great. Thanks again.

if you do not have your files inside another folder like I do then just transfer the files from each section in zip to the exact same places on your server---open your folder on your computer.....transfer the files inside NOT the entire folders, to the corresponding folder on your server
remember to place the ones that you can to your overrides folder, usually named just like your template...like the one from Lightbox--should you have that mod installed too.
hope that did not confuse you more
Just so you know for future reference, you never want to upload complete folders to override same named existing folders. Ever.Quote:

Good luck and happy Zenning :smile:
Does anyone know how to retrieve the path for a cached image in the header? (implementing in the includes/templates/{template}/common/html_header.php file)
Since this is before the page templates are included, I'm assuming there are some files that need to be required, and there must be a function or something to retrieve the cached path as it's done on the products page.
I'm hoping this is fairly simple for someone that understands Image Handler better - I've spent several hours looking through the files and about to the point of giving up. The couple threads found on this site and through Google were unanswered.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Additional background:
This is for implementing the meta tags for a Facebook "like" button on product pages to avoid outputting the original image path (full sized without a watermark) in the header where it can be read from the source code and accessed directly. Also, depending on the frequency of Facebook checking, the full size 1.5-2mb pictures would eat up a lot of unnecessary bandwidth.
This will only be used on product info pages, and it can be assumed I'm running a freshly installed zen cart 1.3.9h with Image Handler 3. The product name, original picture path, and other information from the products table are stored in variables that can be used for retrieval.
None of the implementation code beyond finding the cache path is needed.
Figures! After writing up the post, I finally figured out what was going wrong.Quote:

This code is in the includes/modules/meta_tags.php file. The only required prior modification is adjusting the sql query around line 194 to also retrieve p.products_image. "FB" is attached to all variables to avoid any conflicts. The cached path is stored as META_TAG_FBIMG_CACHE so it can be retrieved in the html_header.php file:
Warning:PHP Code:$FBproducts_image = $product_info_metatags->fields['products_image'];
$FBproducts_image_extension = substr($FBproducts_image, strrpos($FBproducts_image, '.'));
$FBproducts_image_base = preg_replace('/'.$FBproducts_image_extension . '$/', '', $FBproducts_image);
$FBproducts_image_medium = DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'medium/' . $FBproducts_image_base . IMAGE_SUFFIX_MEDIUM . $FBproducts_image_extension;
$FBnewimg = handle_image($FBproducts_image_medium, '', MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT, '');
list($FBsrc, $FBalt, $FBwidth, $FBheight, $FBparameters) = $FBnewimg;
define('META_TAG_FBIMG_CACHE', (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ).$FBsrc);
1. I implemented this using Image Handler 2, but the functions used in this look about the same from what I can tell.
2. This has not been completely tested or optimized, and it could very likely cause errors under unknown circumstances. I did not test it at all on secure pages, since my product pages are all http. It does have a code snippet that should insert https where required to avoid SSL warnings, but if you encounter them, this code is likely the cause.
Well it is my turn, I can not figure out what happened but the hover now shows a large (actual uploaded size) and nothing I do will make it behave. In admin it seems that no matter what image gets uploaded it is shown as small, medium and large as 1200x1200
I instructed my client to go to photoshop and resize them down to 1000x1000 then do a save for web to upload to store and see if that helps.
troubleshooting done:
uninstall IH3 5 times
reinstall IH3
remove the files then reup the entire IH3 files
set image settings to be with and without height-- no difference noticed
set her settings exactly as my store's settings
Lightbox 1.6.2 was misbehaving but reinstalled it and now it works but not IH3...lol
tried with a new template (copy of my own), classic template and the problem still exists --- hover for medium size is huge, images still claim to be all 1200x1200 and not in respective sizes IH3 does, watermark does not work and size for the largest image should be 675 yet it does not appear to be acknowledged by software.

I am crosseyed from trying all different things to no avail.
I installed Image Handler today.
As I understand it, my images used to be resized on the fly when they were called for. This is what slowed the site down. Correct?
I just added my first product since I install Image Handler. My uploaded image was 431kb. It is stored in public_html/images. Nothing different there.
Now I assume that what happens now is that Image Handler makes a set of resized images and stores them, ready for use. The new sizes are about 3kb, 9kb and 73kb. Where are they stored?
As my uploaded image is 431kb, do I now see that I am uploading images that are WAY too big? Should I be uploading images of less than 100kb?
they are stored in the bmz_cache folder that you uploaded with this mod.
The best thing to do is upload the largest size you need and no bigger, i.e my large images are 500 x 500 max, but my supplier gives me 2500 x 2500 and that is just overkill (in fact at first before i realised it was at a complete standstill because of this) resize the image to the largest size you need, squash the filesize if you can and then upload, image handler will do the rest for you.
Thanks for the info.
Now, can you answer this for me...
My image was 431kb. It measured 750ish X 500ish pixels. IH3 resized it to 3kb, 9kb and 73kb.
Now, I used Nautilus image resizer to change my uploaded image to 649x480 pixels. IH3 then resized it to 3kb, 9kb and 158kb.
Why did the largest IH3 resize get bigger?
1) we need to see the affected pageQuote:

Hi
Godaddy shut down my site because there is to many image files in directory
I am using image handler 3
I am using zen-cart 1.3.9 g

What should I do ?
Ummmmm I use Godaddy for hosting too. I use image handler 2. I don't know if there is a difference in the 2 modules. I haven't run across that with Godaddy yet. If and when I do it will be time to move to a new host. Try clearing the image cache under admin/tools/image_handler/admin.Quote:

you need to go in there and get rid of the files there and make sure to check it often.
another thing is the kb/mb size of the ones in the images folder but that should not be a really big problem unless your account is maybe causing the others on that server to bog down...if yours uses too many resources the host will shut you down....BUT
if it were me I would go to another host--try hostgator / hostdime / bluehost / lunarpages
those are some of the hosts that I and some of my clients use.
There is no difference between image handler 2 and 3 in this, so don't bother switching, IH3 is the one you should be using
Ok a few General questions
1) How many products on your site
2) Did you clear the /bmz_cache before and after each upgrade
admin --> tools --> Image handler 3 -- (manager tab) Clear bmz_cache,
Clear the cache now
then go and physically check those subdirectories, because they should be empty of image files
3)
Your /cache folder (not the /bmz_cache folde) is where php errors are stored, you can clear it via
admin -- tools -- Store Manager -- Very bottom button that says "Clean up debug cache"
You should read the most recent error messages, to see what they say,
edit----------------------------------
66000 in the cache, that means something on your site is screwy, often a missing file or something

I have since removed LB and IH3 and all but main images...left for 24+ hours then came back in added in all additional images with LB 1.6.2 left again for another 24+ hours and it has worked beautifully
now I just reinstalled IH3, everything in proper place and the popup is broken. It will not use the medium size image at all, when "view image" selected with right-click it goes to the normal url NOT bmz_cache (chmodded to both 755 then 777 as well as images folder).
have removed and uploaded new bmz_cache folder making sure it is chmodded right and all folders are empty and remain empty even after going to store to view it.
what do I need to do, please.
I didn't figure there was. When I upgraded to zen cart 1.3.9.h I just compared the files from Image Handler 2 and made the changes . Thanks for the information.Quote:

When i looked just now
1) Image Handler isn't handling those images they are all coming from the images folder
2) What happens if you delete the .htaccess folder from the /bmz_cache folder
3) I know you are fairly conversant with zencart, but you haven't mentioned it, so are there anything errors appearing in the /cache folder
4) So if i am reading you correctly Image handler is creating folders in the bmz_cache but not images, or where the subfolders already there?, if so try clearing everything except the keep file out of the /bmz_cache

I forgot too---there are no errors in the cache folder either

If you have tried everything else then thats probably it.
Humour me here,
Delete the bmz_cache, now instead of uploading a new one, go to cpanel (or whatever the hosting panel is), and create a new one using your hosts file manager,
Now try IH.
The above has worked for me once, when everything else didn't.
It probably won't make a difference but worth a crack.
it confused me too, she said she went in to replace an image with a new one and the mod had her upload all new ones...then it started happening with IH not working.Quote:

this is so weird and I tried contacting her host but get a suspended page so no phone number to call them either
1quicksolution.com is host, have contacted her to see if she has their phone number somewhere...lol
@diva: sorry to hear you are in recovery...take it easy and slow and tke care of you above all else...hugs 2 u
update---
still problem exists and no contact info for her host anywhere not even via c-panel
I'm wondering if your customer's issue has something to do with the fact that when you visit the hosting company's website to find contact information, you are redirected to a page which informs you that the hosting company's own homepage of it's own website has been suspended.Quote:

In other words, it sounds like an issue with the hosting company rather than with IH3. In particular, the part about IH3 asking her for all new images...that sounds like it might be a database corruption issue? Don't take my word for it though, I'm just guessing.
Hope this helps, good luck :smile:
Just to verify...I upload an image to my file manager. This image is not changed in any way, but a copy is made in the specified size and with my watermark, and this image is saved in bmz_cache. Is this correct?
I see that the files in bmz_cache are not labeled with their original name. If I delete an original image which I had uploaded, will the corrosponding bmz_cach image be deleted?
This is getting so confusing.
I want to delete all images on my website without deleting the listings. I will then upload new images. So, if I delete all of my original uploaded images will the bmz_cache images then disappear or do I need to delete them manually? And do I delete everything in bmz_cache or is there stuff that needs to be saved.
And can you explain why the folders in bmz_cache are labeled as "0-9" and "a-f" and where is the rest of the alphabet?
Please don't be mad at me for all these stupid questions. I actually am making progress thanks to you all.:clap:
1) No original image is not changed in any way, a correctly resized copied version will be created in the bmz_cacheQuote:
Originally Posted by sofasurfer
2) No the bmz_cache version isn't deleted when you delete the original image.
3) The easiest way to clear the bmz_cache is to go to
admin --> tools --> Image handler - and select clear image cache, and this will clear the bmz_cache
It will automatically recreate any required images when they are requested by the site

Besides admins aren't gonna let me update IH3 just to add one line for a one off issue to the readme..
Hi - my issue is images in product pages - default and additional - have disappeared since I installed IH3.
All images are present on the home page, and indeed on the first listing page of a category however beyond that images are missing but the text description for the image is showing.
Also - prior to installing IH3 I had installed Google Merchant after which when adding a new product I could not get images to load ("No Picture Available"). No Configuration changes were made to images, new listing, all listings etc.
Subsequent to installing IH3, I can add images to new product listing AFTER saving it (without an image) and by then going to Tools, IH3 and inserting images - problem is that the default image does not show up in the product page, only the additional images do. An error message says could not load default image albeit the default image shows up with all the additional images in the box (in Tools).
So Iam slowly but surely pulling out the little hair I have left. :laugh:
Any and all assistance appreciated.
cheers,
Mike
have you made sure all files got uploaded to their proper places?Quote:

have you tried disableing the google mod to see if IH3 works with it not on.
Your image issues began prior to installing IH3. Suggest uninstalling/disabling Google Merchant to see if IH3 works. You will also need to look at both mods to see if they have any common files that need merging.
If IH3 works without Google Merchant installed, you will need to get support for this issue on the Google Merchant support thread.

The whole point of Image Handler is to save room in my file manager aa well as to have smaller images so my page loads faster.
So, I sell photos. Images on my site are the images I sell. I am processing as thus... I have a folder on my pc which holds my large (4-20mg) images that I make prints from. I also have a folder which holds reduced size images (100-200kb) which I upload to file manager and which are in turn processed by Image Handler and displayed on my website.
Is the above method preferred or is there a better way?
Just upgraded to IH3 from IH2 but I'm still having problem with my zoom. First and second images zoom just fine however the rest of the piccy don't zoom anymore. Anyone knows what the prob with this?
My site is: http://pinkoholic.co.uk
Thanks!
You need to post a link to the exact product page where the issue can be seen. If there's more than one, then just pick one to link. Please don't post your store's main page and then make us search through your site to find a product page that demonstrates the problem.Quote:

so therefore either your no-js script has nulled the use of IH3 or not all files are uploaded to their proper places or the template won't allow it to be use (which is the case of paid for --readjusted templates).
DarkAngel, thank you for your help! I am sorry I was not clear on the subject, that store is just an example what I want to do, it is not run by Zen Cart. So my question - is there any direct link to the additional image of the product, something like - "zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'], $listing->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_HEIGHT)", but for the second image, I need to show both images in my categories pages.
Thank you!
LOL ok, then a link to your store products would be better.Quote:

To have the IH3 popup window you set it in the admin section but you can also install lightbox module to have the image open to the larger size in a nice "blacked out" window that also will allow the viewing of the second or however many more images you have for the products.

DarkAngel, thanks again. My store - http://www.klybni4ka.net. What I want to do is to show the first additional image when a customer hovers over the main image in a catalog just like in that store. There is an easy way to do it with JQuery but in order to do so I need both images, the main and the first additional. Since I am not a Php developer I have no idea how get the url of the additional first image. As far as I understand how IH works, additional images are generated on the fly, so I need to insert the code that looks for the additional images in my product_listing module. Could somebody give me a hint what exactly I need to do. Or if by any chance there is a direct link to the first additional image, that would be awesome!
Thank you!!!

it will show you the images, their url but as to how to get them to work right you will most likely need to contact the creator of your theme. Those RI_ template creators really mess around with the store coding and you may mess something up.
I didn't touch anything lol since I posted here cus I really don't know what went wrong. Still doesn't work on mine but if it works on yours, I hope it works on the other visitors as well. I use Chrome. Anyway thanks for checking it out :DQuote:

Also, when I go to the IH3 page under the tools menu in the admin, it opens up a "page not found" page. I have double checked my installation and everything is correct.

Recommend you do a full uninstall and reinstall of IH3.

Template Monstrosity template.. Likely issue is one of the many "style over substance" coding changes they love to make which prevents the IH3 image hover from working properly..

Try changing your template to the Zen Cart default template and see if that resolves your problem. If it does, then you know the problem is with your template monster template.
If that does not solve the problem, come back and see us for IH3 support.
Can't provide support for Template Monstrosity templates in the support thread for IH3... If you follow ScriptJunkie's advice and find that your issue is indeed the code within your commercial template (whuich I suspect you will), we cannot provide support for fixing your template in the IH3 support thread.. You will indeed need to contact Tempate Monstrosity and have them fix their template code to follow proper Zen Cart coding..Quote:

Hi -
my site is createadesig.net.
looked through this site but did not see a solution, so here goes:
installed the IH3; the image hover works just great. In tools, ih3, manager: clicking on action then larger file I get a great larger image. works just great
However, on my products page when I click there on larger image I simply get a corner of the image not the larger image I see when looking in the tools/ih3 etc.
I have uninstalled and installed a couple of times, the file permissions are the same, there is no error message in cache file; I give up and ask for help, and
Any help will really be appreciated

I obviously did not have my reading glasses on should read 7.0.1
my apologies
but problem remains on this dell studio with firefox 7.0.1 simply will not get image pop up on this machine
maybe I will simply give up and check my work on of of the other computer s I mentioned

None of your images are zooming on hover. Did you uninstall or disable IH3? We cannot diagnose the problem if we can't see it actually happening.
Recommend that you take each of the following steps:
- Uninstall IH3
- Read the entire Read_Me file
- Reinstall IH3
- Configure IH3 per the instructions in the Read_Me file
- Test your site on various browsers
After all that, if you're still having issues, come back and report the problem, providing links to the exact product pages that are having issues.

----------------------------------------------------------
well went to your links for examples and after the page loads--takes a while everywhere lately. The popup window does appear on all of them ----on my old MAC and current version of Firefox on PC and Google Chrome
so you must have done the suggestion and it works for popups now but when I go to the main product page and click to view the image larger it does get viewed into a new window.
so did you get it to do what you wanted???
ok, new question.
How do I get the hovered image larger?
And when you actually go to the product page, is there anyway to get IH3 to enlarge that photo too, so that it doesn't have to get opened in a new window?
**sigh**
This REALLY IS all covered in the IH3 readme..
You can either have the image that shows when you hover over the small image be the large sized image or the medium sized image. (you set which one in the image settings - for more details on this PLEASE refer to the readme if anything there is unclear then please indicate what is not clear and we shall be happy to help clarify those things for you)Quote:

Honestly this is not an IH3 issue.. The large image popup is NOT modified by IH3. This is a Firefox issue. I would suggest posting this issue in a more appropriate place on the forum and try as the other thread suggested disabling all your Firefox extensions..Quote:

When someone is using Firefox (ver 7.0.1) images cannot be enlarged without having to play around with the mouse. For example, if you open a product on my site below, try to click on the image. Note the mouse icon with not change to a "hand" unless you center the icon in the middle of the image. SO most customers assume the image can't be enlarged after clicking their mouse a few times and nothing happens.

The issue you are describing (and which can be reproduced by me when I visit your site), is not an IH2 or IH3 issue. It is an issue with FF 7.01 and ZC's core functionality as it relates to viewing a larger version of a product image when on a product info page.
The reason I know this is because I know that the functionality of ZC which enlarges product images on click is not a function of IH2 or IH3 - it is a core ZC functionality that remains unchanged by IH2 and IH3.
IH does not handle the zooming/enlarging of product images on product info pages because IH does not handle medium size images - and ZC uses the medium size image to enlarge product images (on product info pages) on click. This is addressed at length in the IH3 Read_Me.
Seconding what Diva has said, suggest you take this up with FF developers and/or in the ZC forum on the general issues board. It has been suggested that the FF issue is really an issue with an addon called Firebug, but I use that addon and have no problem on my site.
The issue seems to affect some stores while leaving other stores unaffected. Whether it's a FF issue, a Firebug issue, an individual store issue, an outdated JS issue, or a browser permissions issue...it is clearly not an IH3 or IH2 issue and therefore should no longer be discussed in this thread, as it could be confusing to new Zenners.
Good luck and happy Zenning :smile:
I see what you mean but I use the same add on and don't get the problem you describe on my images, mine work perfectly in Firefox and Chrome so it can't really be this modQuote:

zen_href_link('', '', 'NONSSL')
I get this error when loading images to a product.
Firstly I cannot load an image in product page (add new product) - just will not load. When I use IH the images all show up however an error message says "cannot upload default image" - then when I save I get the above message as well. All images except the default image show up in the catalogue online - where the default image should be is the text for the image and the "click for larger image"- clicking on either of those texts brings up the image.
I have uninstalled and re-installed both add ons a few times but no change.
Any ideas please?
many thanks,
Mike
1) read through the thread, that error message has been discussed many times, 99% of the time it means you are using invalid characters in image file names, which cause image handler to choke. The image handler documentation and zencart documentation both explain what the invalid characters are, but basically stick with alphanumerics and dashes and underscores and you ahouldn't get that problem.
2) What size are the images you are trying to upload, some servers may timeout if the image takes to long to upload

Having said that I do not think it is an IH3 problem - something is preventing the loading of ONLY DEFAULT image to the product page period. As a stop gap I have been inserting the default image by using EXAMPLE <img src="XYZ.gif" alt="ABC" /> but even that now will not produce an image on the product page - it will show however the "alt" description.
Does Google Merchant "use IH to resize images" true / false have any effect - seems the issue started when I loaded Goggle Merchant Feeder. Do any other Image Configs conflict with IH3. I no longer name images with suffixes (_MED, _LRG). Bit of a head scratcher.
cheers,
Mike
Umm 1.3.9h doesn't resize images, by default it sends the fullsized image through to the browser with instructions to display it at a small size, image handler reizes the image then sends it to the browser at the specified size.
without looking at your site we can't tell you, have you
a) checked your /cache folder for debug files
b) made sure that you have installed all the imagehandler files, and renamed the "your template" folders in bothe the templates and modules directories to match your template name, (honestly the number of people who believe that putting up only half the files will have no effect is a bit suprising),
c) tried installing imagehandler by itself, without lightbox and seeing if it works correctly
d) Is the problem in the front end(shop) or backend(admin) of the site
e) Are you sure imagehandler is handling the images, right click on an image in the store and see what its name is.

If any of the files in the "2_Required_Core_Edits" folder have been modified by other module installs, you will need to use a file merging program like Beyond Compare or Winmerge to incorporate the Image Handler3 changes
My question is this:
1. What keeps these folders from completely overwriting the original folders in my server?
2. Am I uploading to the /directory of my store?
3. How do I know if files in the "2_Required_Core_Edits" folder have been modified by other module installed?
Thanks for your help

1. you are not uploading the folder to the server so no overwriting will occur. you open the folder on your desktop and only transfer the files from each nestled folder to the matching folder on your server---for instance includes/languages/english files on your desktop will go into that exact same path on the server.
if you are not using the classic default theme then in some area you may have a folder with your templates name (this is an override folder) and your desktop files will go there...still following the path.
most creators will place a folder called your_template then files inside it...that is your clue to create a folder in that area with the templates name to place the contents into it.
2. yes you are
3. what other mods do you have...and most likely if you installed the mod you would have had to edit the files manually. with this mod -- fortunately-- the majority of the files are labled with bmz_ but there are files that are named exactly as the ones on the server. with some of those files I can usually disable the original ones by placing a ~ at the end of the file name--like header.php gets changed to header.php~ then the new file can be uploaded without fear of overwriting...thus if something doesn't work right you just remove it with its other related files you uploaded from whichever mod you used.
Just in case I always keep a copy of the files from the server on my computer so that if for some reason they should get corrupted I just need to replace the file...and always have them current each month since there are usually a lot of changes I do to something or another...lol
hope that helps and I did not confuse you more.
Hi
Could someone please help me urgently with a problem that Image Handler 3 has?
Image hander is assigning random images to products without me doing a thing. It puts random additional images in - which are a mission to change since I am going to have a large product database.
Please see this page to understand what I am talking about:
pcselect.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=62_192_194&products_id=548
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
S
Firstly, I don't see any additional images (random or otherwise) on the page that loads using the link you provided.
Secondly, the product image displayed on the page that loads using the link you provided seems to match the product description.
Therefore, I don't see the problem you are describing.
However, it sounds like what you are describing is a problem that is caused by improper image file naming. The IH3 READ_ME has an entire section dedicated to helping you avoid this problem.
Look at the Troubleshooting tab, under the section "Prepare Your Site For Growth" for an in depth tutorial on image file naming.

* Colors: Styled in Sage Green, Yellow, Tan and Blue.
* Customized button set included.
* Per-page CSS stylesheets to style individual pages.
* Better Categories Sidebox installed.
* Order Steps (tableless) installed.
* Date in Header.
* Tested using Firefox, IE7, Opera, Safari.
I would think that the three I bolded above could have problems with files that might want to be overwritten. My plan is to make 2 backups of my site to a portable hardrive (dedicated to web stuff). I will open one of them and add all the files as you said from IH3 and then go back to my web server and delete the test folder I have that contains my site and upload the new test site (backup) I worked on above.
My question is this. When I am copying files from IH3 to my backup site, as mentioned above, when I attempt to copy a file that already exists, it will want to overwrite this file. Is it at this time that I say "No" and then put the two files into WinMerge and compare and merge the files? Right? How do I know where in the file the merge is to take place? Does the merged part of the file just go at the end of the file or do I have to know exactly where it is to be placed?? I hope that wasn't too confusing, it sure was for me :wacko: I have not used WinMerge yet, this will be my first attempt. Hopefully not my last.
It is late so I will look for an answer tomorrow. Thanks for all your help, greatly appreciated.
Of the 3 you have bolded I am not sure that they will have anything to do with this mod.Quote:

your admin folder/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php
includes/modules/pages/pop_image (if you have it if not then just upload this folder otherwise the header_php.php file
