IH4 as the opening thread (and readme) states will optimize your product and category images.. However, if you have other optimization issues on your site, or images in other places on your site (non product/category images) IH4 will not resolve those issues.Quote:

And that is exactly one of the reasons I hate the auto installer of this mod. Don't get me wrong, I like IH, but now you have to do the installation twice. First the installer overwrites your files and after that you still need to compare your files for correct code, and add your own customisation again.Quote:

Yep IH4 supports GIFs, an example from my test site is the original GIF image here as uploaded
and the product listing here
where image handler is, well handling it
As for any patent issues with gifs, I am fairly sure those patents expired 10 years ago

I do think that even with me patching the correct file on my site.. I didn't change the backup or the default so upon uninstalling It would break my site again. So my patch above is incomplete.
That's why I didn't roll a patch myself. I really don't even have time to write this message :)
Thank you for the hard work on IH4.
bugfix/modification.. 6 of one half dozen of the other.. point is that right now it's a modification that folks need to make to the IH files until I submit an update to IH4 (plan to do this next week)Quote:

So what is the right answer?
As far as the question about reverting to previous versions of files. well this is a thorny issue. Do you revert to the version that existed prior to IH install? Well maybe but also maybe not. because other modifications may have been made to that file since theIH install. so without knowing what a user has done the best thing seems to be to provide a before installation file back up and an original file version.
The BIGGEST benefit has been that less experienced users have had FEWER issues since the release of IH4. This support thread is FAR FEWER posts than any previous IH support threads..Quote:

A couple have expressed this opinion, but these same users are not IMHO being encumbered because of the introduction of an auto installer..
I personally have found the auto-installer to be a show-stopper, especially when I'm trying to integrate with a site that's making many other changes to similar files. And especially with FEC (now, admittedly there were several other addons adding more complications, especially the css/js loader mess, but that's a side issue and I don't mean to mix other matters into this thread).
I confess that I've not studied all the documentation greatly in recent days, but last I looked it didn't seem like there was an obvious way to bypass all the safeties built-in to the autoinstaller so I could just merge the necessary changes into the core files which needed it.
It actually was the biggest task for an upgrade I was doing to an otherwise heavily customized site. I was amazed that it took much longer to do IH4 than everything else. Granted, I suppose if I were up to speed on all the inner workings of the mod then maybe that might have made things different. Actually the more I think about it, I think I just skipped using IH altogether.
Maybe it deserves another try. I'm just writing this in response to niccol's last post, to cast my vote for skipping all the automated file changes, at least for those who wish a more conventional approach.
JMHO
the auto installer doesn't prevent one from integrating changes in common files at all. There is a section of the readme which explicitly does cover it. Now perhaps it's because I helped write the instructions that it's second nature for me, but I am quite open for suggestions as to how to improve the instructions. if how to merge changes in common files is NOT clear in the readme I can make it clearer if it is needed..Quote:

Trust me I understand.. happy to help if you give it a go again.. I spent ALL OF yesterday replacing FEAC with COWOA (FEAC did not play well with others) and removing the Highslide module . So much broke and had to be reinstalled including IH4 and Zen Lightbox.Quote:

No.. and honestly you haven't posted enough information to tell us what might have gone wrong. (no link to your site, no error messages.. no indication as to whether or not the IH menu is available in the Tools menu, no idea what version of Zen Cart you are running..)Quote:

I reverted back to original state now. What I did wrong?
Hi Diva!
I have a new install ZC 1.51 + IH4. The module installed fine, and is creating cached images, and hover is working as expected.
I have a couple questions. I'm 'new' to Image Handler so I hope you don't mind.
1) Have you ever seen situations where IH4 has slowed down a site - meaning longer page load times? When I enable IH4 and refresh the page, I am getting a slight pause before the page renders. Settings are pretty much default with default zencart.
2) I'd like to use Magic Zoom from magictoolbox.com. Pretty nifty. Have you tested IH4 with magiczoom, or heard of any conflicts?
Thanks for the hard work!
IH4 ususally improves a site's performance.. So if you are experiencing some slowing I have to wonder if there isn't something else on your site that is causing it?? Post a link and we can give you a better idea..Quote:

i am not sure about magicbox. You presumably want it to work on the main lroduct image. i do know that jqzoom plays nice with IH and there is a thread in which i am beinb persuaded to turn some code snippets into a proper module. search and you will find it
I have not been this confused for long time with ZenCart modules....
How do I have to merge the files - some of those files are missing (my template don't have them) some are different.
This time I copied English folder (no edits as suggested above!), renamed it to Spanish and Bulgarian and installation underwent well - I enabled it, it's working but I can't seem to figure out which rows have to go where when merging...
Do I have to add all missing rows from my original files to the ones IH made or what?
I'm really lost on this one...
Also - If It's going be easier to make manual install - what I have to do - add all aditional rows in _IH4.php files to the ones I already have and not upload _IH4.php files (only the rest) or what?
www.rampagehockey.eu/neo - currently it's not displaying product info image because the author made the template to load large image there - will modify this latter but now I have to merge those files so he can work upon that...
First of all roll back your store to the state it was BEFORE installing IH4. (you did make a backup right???)Quote:

Then before you re-do the install, if you are using another language, you will need to make a copy the "english" language folder from the IH4 package and name it for the languages you support. (YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/english)Quote:

Once you complete all these steps try uploading the IH4 files and do your install over again..
Thanks for that, I had the same problem with Romanian. Copied the files to language folder after install so had blank descriptions in admin. Read your solution and 2 minutes later sorted :-)Quote:

I'm not sure I understand your question.. If you are asking about file merging it's difficult to answer your question since your files may have already been modified by other modules.. All I can say is you need to merge those changes with the ones made by IH4.Quote:

Also before you get started, I really strongly suggest that you review the readme. If there is a section of the readme that is not clear, then let me know what part isn't clear..
Hi Diva (weif & nicol too!)Quote:

I can confirm that magiczoom does not work perfectly out of the box with IH4. There seems to be some conflicts in variable name use and creation between the two modules. I keep getting an E_Error warning from PHP when the two are enabled together, but each run fine independently.
Unfortunately, magiczoom uses compiled javascript, so tracking down the conflict is made much more difficult.
Nice effects though!
Try a different module then.. niccol's suggestion:Quote:

There are a number of ways of approaching this.
As always the best recommendation is to do this on a development version of your site. If you are serious about running your store it is always worth having a second version of the store so that you can experiment on that first. I know that this seems like a lot of work but it really is worth it and does not actually take that much time.
=======================
Route 1
This works for installations that have no modifications.
Just install IH and it will work. If your admin is in a language other than english then read this thread for instructions.
=======================
Route 2
This works well if you know that you have files to merge and is a good option if you don't know if you have merges to do.
Install as normal. The installer will create backups of any files it overwrites. So, just go for it. Then check your site. If everything is working well then you are good to go and you didn't need to do merges.
If problems have been created it probably means that you have merges to do. So, you can look on the server and find the backup versions of the files that have been created. Download the backup version (this will have your previous modifications). Download the active version ( this will have the IH modifications) . Merge these two files and upload the result as the active file.
=======================
Route 3
This is the way to go if you know that you have merges to do.
Read Diva's post above and see which IH files are equivilant to which Zen files. It is not a complex pattern! Then merge your modifications into the appropriate file in the IH installation files.
For instance if you have existing modifications in
/YOUR_ADMIN/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php
merge them with the installation file
/YOUR_ADMIN/includes/modules/category_product_listing_IH4.php
Then install as normal.
=======================
What happens during install is this:
- The files are uploaded to the 'wrong' place.
- A backup of your existing files is created
- Then your files are overwritten
The logic is based on the fact that less experienced users have been known to upload files and overwrite existing file modifications. And those modifications may or may not be correctly backed up. There is potentially no recovery from this. Creating a backup before overwrite means that recovery is possible. However, to allow files to be backed up the IH files cannot be uploaded into the 'right' place because that is potentially destructive. So, they are put in an alternate position and then moved into the right place once the backup has been created.
Nick if you don't mind I would like to use this nearly verbatim in the readme docs..Quote:

zc 1.5.0
We have an automation script that populates our store from a remote feed. It brings in 1 image per product from the remote server and puts them in a directoy ( we define which directory). These images are about 500 x 500 and about 75k.
Can image handler help automatically create the smaller image of this? I notice my page load times are large because images are being scaled instead of using actually smaller images for the thumbs.
Thank you

Great... will install tonite!
Hi Guys,
I've just been doing an upgrade to a Zen 1.3.7 site to V1.5.1, and have run into a problem I've not experienced before even though I've done many of these.
The problem is with when I install IH4 I can no longer log into the admin of the site. Greeted with 'an error occurred please refresh the page'.
The log files reveal:
[20-Feb-2013 00:36:53] PHP Fatal error: 1064:You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to

Any ideas what would cause this? Its been bugging me for several hours and need to call it a night. Hopefully with some fresh ideas in the morning.
Cheers
Rod
It is the installer not finding the configuration group id for whatever reason.
Find this bit of code in your_admin/includes/init_includes/init_image_handler.php
And override it by adding this directly after it.Code:/* Find Config ID of Images */
$sql = "SELECT configuration_group_id FROM ".TABLE_CONFIGURATION_GROUP." WHERE configuration_group_title='".BOX_CONFIGURATION_IMAGES."' LIMIT 1";
$result = $db->Execute($sql);
$im_configuration_id = $result->fields['configuration_group_id'];
Probably '4' is the configuration id of your images menu item but you could check that before hand if you are feeling perky.Code:$im_configuration_id = '4';
I just downloaded Image Handler 4 (latest version posted), and I'm trying to heed the warning to "read everything" (as I always do). I'm unable, though, to open anything other than the main readme page. When I click on the links (such as Install/Uninstall and Configuration), no files open. I searched the forums here, and I searched online to see if the installation and configuration instructions had been posted elsewhere, but I've had no luck.
I'm sure I'm just doing something silly that's keeping the readme links from working, but danged if I can figure it out. I would appreciate any direction.

Hey everyone,
I installed zencart 1.5.1 and the latest version of image handler.
The installation went smooth but Then I got this Message: No Image Handler information found.
I have plenty of categories and products but for some reason once I select one of those I am send back to the main Image handler page (../..?page=manager).
Does anyone know what is happening?
Yeah.. trying UNZIPPING the file.. You can't read the readme form a zip archive..Quote:

@Lune
Stay calm .
Just list the steps that you have gone through to try and make it work and someone will try and help you make it work.
@RodG
Yeah, those few lines of the auto-installer need looking at because they appear flakier than I would think they should be. Next time around I think that we will go with
As there is not much to go wrong with that. And how many people are going to have actually changed the configuration group of images? Not many I'd guess.Code:$im_configuration_id = '4';
Hateful?? Wow..:laugh: is that what you walked away with?? Okay.. well.. for the record that's YOUR interpretation since you can't possibly KNOW what I was thinking.. You asked how to view the readme.. I provided the answer, and you overeacted because you intepreted feelings that simply aren't there.. Now whether you decide to use this add-on or not because of your reaction is up to you..Quote:

That just suggests that you have a corrupted download of the zip file. It happens sometimes.
If you want to continue to use this module then I would suggest that you re-download it. If you continue to have problems reading the other tabs after that then please do post again and people will do the best they can to help you.
If you don't want to then that is a shame.

Hey, Mistress DivaVocals,
I have uncovered something that possibly has not been addressed; I'm not sure. I have been assuming for many years that Zen Cart cannot display the product image correctly in the product preview - it's normally a square - not the correct ratio size. But since I usually install image handler, it actually may have something to do with the mod.
I started checking carts 1.3.9h and 1.5x and I now see that the image is fine in carts without image handler but not fine with image handler. The preview_info.php file calls for the small image width and height.
Has anyone else noticed this or commented on it? Do you know what might be at work here?
I truthfully don't care but ran into a client who got really upset about it!
I only noticed this on one site, but for that particular site there's a ton of other customizations that were done to make a custom module work with IH4 so I never worried about it, and the client is okay with the preview not showing the image as long as the product on the customer-side shows the image correctly.. I just tried on two other random sites and the image preview works.. (not a real link below.. just wanted to show that this is the page that I am on when I see the image preview)Quote:

I have two identical installations on my local server. They are pretty identical any way. One has IH. One does not. They both squish the image.
I have always though that this was a Zen issue rather than a IH issue but could be persuaded. As everyone has said it really has never been a big enough issue for that much attention.
That's really interesting because I just thought it was a continuing issue as well. I'm going to test on a new installation and check the before and after and see if it changes after just the installation of IH.
And also I don't think that the handle_image hook exists in admin. So I don't think that IH does anything at all with images in admin. If you look at the source of the image I would guess that it is not an IH cached version?
So, I think it is an issue with Zen.
If it bothers you then you can just replace the SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT with '' and that should give you a image that is scaled proportionately. I think that will work ....
Okay, I did install image handler in a fresh install of 1.5.1 and it's fine before and after. Yeah, zen cart problem. Very strange. And no, I really don't care but it did tweak my interest.
Thanks everyone!
Yep I figured it was a Zen Cart issue.. Like I said my client is okay with it as long as on the shop side the images are correctly displaying..Quote:

Though the mod I made is a paid mod only, I always expect someone to appropriate or "borrow" from stuff eventually, specially when I explain the whole thing in a blog post! That particular thing though is a must I think going forward for Zen Cart itself. So you are very welcome!
Yes this is true.. I would never borrow your paid mod.. (that would be rude) ONLY your words and wisdom ma'am!! :smile: The blog post was a HUGE help and spot on!! Thanks for always sharing..Quote:

It's a one off problem and I haven't any ideas as to what the issue is with your setup.. Not being able to roll back only makes this a little more tedious..

There hasn't been done anything else than installed the IH4 lately for the shop and before that administrator level could update products without a problem.
I just reinstalled the whole thing and it finally works, now Ill just have to get the other plug ins running again :P
Thanks for the help
kinda need more info here.. what specific URL are they accessing and do you get a specific access denial error?? And what happens when you grant this profile access to IH4?Quote:

YOUR_ADMIN>includes>extra_configures>bmz_io_conf.php
YOUR_ADMIN>includes>functions>extra_functions>functions_bmz_image_handler.php
YOUR_ADMIN>includes>functions>extra_functions>functions_bmz_io.php
Any clue?
nope. And without more details like what exactly do you mean by "my admin broke". Or error messages I can't begin to guess what the issue might be. You will need to provide a lot more information than you have as this is not a problem that has been reported previously. Meaning that without a pattern I can't replicate this and therefore I can't help you. Please provide more details and we can go from thereQuote:

Whenever I uploaded those files, the admin page turn blank. No error message.
The blank page would mean that an error log has probably been generated.. Need to know what the error log file says..Quote:

I mean the store error log not your host's error log.. Suggest reading through the FAQs as you begin working with Zen Cart.. Solutions to most common issues can be found there. Start with this article as it gives you guidelines on how to resolve blank pages issues and tells you where the stores error log files are located..Quote:

once you locate the error logs that were mostly likely generated, then post the contents of the log files so that we can see what the issue might be..
Thank you DivaVocals. I must have uploaded some files into the wrong directories yesterday.
I did it again after your last response. And it works. Hurray!!!
Thank you for your contribution for the forum.
You're very welcome.. the usual cause for unknown issues can usually be traced to an installation error.. Glad you got it all worked out..:smile:Quote:

Denied path that comes:
http://www.webshopaddress12345.com/s...ath/denied.php
The Denied Path has a text:
Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Before installing the IH4 these same normal product update actions worked. The superuser still works but this other administrative user not. This profile has the access permission for the IH4 as well.
Do they have access to products?? Do you have any other modules installed which would affect access to products??Quote:

There should be nothing else affecting on this. CKEditor has been there already before and the administrator was successfully updating the product descriptions using it. The administrator person was updating the products just few hours before IH4 was installed, using her own profile, and no problem arise then. Superuser continues to be able to update the products.Quote:

If I was you I would back up your version of category_product_listing.php.
Then I would hover over a 'problem' link on the page and note down what address the link is pointing at.
Then I would install the default version fo category_product_listing.php. Check to see if the problem still exists. If it does then you can compare the URL that the first page was pointing at to the URL the default version points at.
I suspect that you are going to find that this is not to do with IH but lets wait and see.
Changing back the original category_product_listing.php didn't help with the issue.Quote:

Well as niccol stated that would indicate an issue having nothing to do with IH4 (which I also suspected..)Quote:

Is that correct? If it is it suggests that it is not a IH issue.
The only thing that it could be is a javascript conflict of some sort. When you click the row that is triggered by javascript. Kind of difficult to explain how to fault find that in a forum post to be honest. Are you running web developer tools or something similar? If that is greek to you then post again. And we will try and talk you through it. What browser are you using?
I found this in the error logs (maybe I have misplaced something else when installing the IH4):
PHP Warning: constant() [<a href='function.constant'>function.constant</a>]: Couldn't find constant BOX_CONFIGURATION_MY_STORE in /home2/customer/public_html/shop/admn/includes/functions/admin_access.php on line 799

There is these constants in the language file though, so can't understand what is actually missing but this could be creating the issue, right?
What a dilemma. You and the error logs are producing conflicting reports. One of you is wrong.Quote:

Incidently, I've just recently fixed a near identical error on another customers website, which turned out to be the result of an incomplete merge of the english.php files during a V1.3.8a -> V1.5.1 upgrade. Actually, I suspect the merge went fine, but the modified file didn't get uploaded for some reason).
These errors are trivial to fix, but fixing it will not solve your problem. (missing constants are usually harmless, and just make things look bad).
The fact that these errors do exist though is usually a very good indication that there are probably some other files that also didn't get a proper upgrade, and it will be one of those that will be causing your current issues.
The difficult part here is that *we* have no way of knowing which files these may be.. You'll need to do a compare between your installation and the distribution .zip files.
Cheers

ps. As others have said. Not really an IH4 issue.

I had IH4 working fine but somehow I messed up things in my store this week and decided the best way to fix it would be to delete the includes folder and re install the includes folder. Well that fixed the problem but it caused a lot of new ones, one of which is it broke the IH4, I have added the files from the IH4 download's includes folder to my new stores includes folder but that didnt fix it. Is there something else I need to do or did I probably do it wrong? Thanks
I have my problem fixed, Thanks
Same issue on a site I am working on. I'll try the uninstall and re-install and report back.Quote:

If you are referring to the image hover, it's not missing at all..Quote:

on the product listing page, if i enter the hover from the bottom right side, the popup will show, this happens with the first 2 images, then none after that in the list will show. in the trailimageid div, the correct image is there and everything except visible=hidden.
another weird issue is that var currentimageheight = 400; however every image is 420px high and 725px wide?
any help appreciated, the link:

You have a version of jQuery easing loading before jQuery. Don't know if that is something to do with cloudflare - possibly. But whatever the reason is you need to solve that issue. It will mess up the javascript on the page. Can't give you much help with that as I don't know what you have done exactly.
It may not be the only problem but while it is there finding anything else will be impossible.
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/ojl/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js"></script>Quote:

This is the way Zen cart outputs it in viewsource, does zen cart read them in alphabetical order?
Under my template/jscript folder:
jscript_imagehover.js
jscript_jquery.min.js
jscript_rollovers.js
How would i change the loading order?
Thanks for the help
Jeff
What I am seeing is in the attachment. Which is actually slightly different to before. But there is definitely an issue with jquery.easing. Which may or may not be due to cloudflare I'd guess. I'd disable cloudflare and see what you get. But I don't know anything about how that works! But as I say I think you should start a new thread for this as it will clutter up the IH thread with stuff that really does not help most IH users.
Ok, disabled that still not working, im thinking this is a positioning issue, something is throwing off the hover cords. I read a few pages back about issues with FEC adon, that could be an issue too
ok, fresh zen cart install, no other java or jquery running in the front end, and still, wont trigger popup until you enter from the bottom left of the first 2 or 3 images in the list, then none after that, inspecting the page shows the image div has content, it just never turns from hidden?
This is really driving me nuts, wasted a half a day already, any help? anyone?

It's hard to help with issues that haven't been reported before and can't be duplicated.. I did notice that all of your images are GIF's. Not a format you should be using for photos, but I'll spare you the "why you shouldn't use GIF's for photos speech.. Given that you seem to have a one off situation happening, my gut is telling me that the heart of the issue is some server setting.. someone else will have to chime in what kind of server issue could be the issue.. Your images could also be the issue.. I would suggest trying to see if the problem happens if you use a different filetype (JPG, PNG).. Set up a test category, add a few products with product images that are NOT GIFs..Quote:
