The IH2 readme does a fairly good job of explaining how to configure and use IH2.. If you can provide an idea of which part of the setup/configuration/usage instructions are unclear, it might help us to help you out..:smile:
Thanks but I'm still in the dark! If I place the large image in the large image folder and then in IH2 I browse to the file and save, I get three image files all of the same size - in the IH2 interface that is, on the front end, the images are resized correctly. In the front end, the small image is scaled down to its thumbnail size but its real size is presumably that of the large image. Or is this not the case ?
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
I did some research in my diaries and it looks like I put IH 1.3.5 on ZC 1.3.5.
I later upgraded to 1.3.7.1 but it still worked and I was not wanting to fix something not broke.
Now I am trying to make a new 1.3.9h store with only the well "tested" mods that I need and my old sql file that is upgraded.
My new 1.3.9 Admin does have IH but claims it is not installed. If my thinking is straight, and per the instructions, I need to get the old SQL unistalled for the version 1.3.5 before upgrading per the much better improved instructions in this latest 1.39 I have been reading about.
I hesitate to reinstall an old version back into this 1.3.9h just to make the admin uninstall work. It is just going to mess with my head tracking all the updates and comparing files and may not work anyway. I thought I remembered an uninstall sql, but just have no luck finding it.
Anyone know a way to get this done?:dontgetit

Install and UNINSTALL as is suggested in the readme for the latest version of IH2 is THE way to remove a prior version of IH2.. There is no other means provided in the IH2 fileset to achieve this.. (the install/uninstall function executes the SQL needed to make the necessary DB changes)Otherwise you can manually seach your database for the entries IH2 adds to the configuration and configuration_groups tables and remove them manually.
Thank you for confirming my inability to find an alternative.
I may try editing the DB, done a little before but I hope its obvious what I need to discard. Need to remember how. I thought of trying to install a fresh old version 1.3.5 and check for code where it is hard coded in this 1.3.9h. Does not sound fun and may not get that Admin to recognize my DB sql. Shame, all my picts look okay in Categories, but I may have other issues like the "blank store page" and that may have nothing to do with this wanted IH2 updated version.
Thanks again,
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
If you already have the old version installed there really is NO REASON to not simply follow the instructions in the latest version of IH2 for removing older versions of IH2.. It's as simple as uninstalling (in your case you will need to run the install first), remove the obsolete files (list of obsolete files is provided in the readme), then uploading the new IH2 fileset..
Not sure why you are hesitant to do this since this is the EASIEST way to ensure that the older version of IH2 is correctly uninstalled.. (which is why we tested AND recommended this approach in the readme for the latest version). The ONLY thing the IH2 install and uninstall does is to add the needed IH2 entries to the DB.. YES you can remove them manually, but why take a longer approach when there IS a simple solution available..

IH2 working fine on Zencart version 1.3.9h. Except when I tried to upload an additional image using the IH2 Manager -> Add New. I selected an image from my computer and when I click "save", it gave me this error ...
"Error!
Unable to determine the page link!
Function used:
zen_href_link('', '', 'NONSSL')
"
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
If you search this support thread you will find some hints and insight into what causes this.. This page is one that might help..

Re: Image Handler 2 Support Rev 8d Being Submitted
Will be submitting this update tonight..
Finally had a chance to look at and fix this.. This is a MINOR update which addresses the following:
(Rev 8d) Corrected minor issue where the "Clear Cache" function removes the .htaccess and .keep files from "bmz_cache" folder (requiring you to manually FTP these files back after clearing the cache from the admin). Clearing the cache from the IH2 admin no longer removes these files.
Re: Image Handler 2 Support
I was wondering about Clear Cache. Whenever I used it in the past, it didn't seem to do anything. All the thumbs that IH had created in bmz_cache remained there. So, I figured that maybe Clear Cache was only clearing a cache of the thumbs that had been used in admin (I haven't even looked to see if one exists), such as when you create a product or category and upload the image to go with it and then preview the image, all in admin. I never could see that Clear Cache was doing anything discernible-- is that related to this new fix?

Clear Cache does indeed work.. the trouble is that it was deleting things it wasn't supposed to delete. That's all my fix addressed..
