i use zencart 1.3.9h and Image Handler 2 but when i upload any product image then small image and large image not show perfectly, i mean small and large image pixels very low automatically but medium image show perfectly.

First...you should consider upgrading to IH3, as it contains many improvements and was made specifically for zc139.Quote:

In a nutshell...you should upload your largest product image for each product and then use the IH settings in admin to tell IH how to resize & display them as medium and small.
Without a link to the image that's a problem, I can only guess at your issue...and I'm guessing your problem is that you've either uploaded a medium size image as your main product image...resulting in poor image quality upon enlargement...or you haven't properly set up your image settings in the IH settings in the admin.
So....whether or not you decide to upgrade to IH3...you've got a problem that can be solved by reading the entire readme file and following the instructions found there.
FYI - the IH3 readme is much more clear and directive than the IH2 readme. It contains screen shots with detailed set up instructions that make it very easy to use this mod...another great reason to upgrade to the latest version :smile:
i upgrade to IH3 but now i face same problem with not show product medium image and also now not show additional images of product
see link:

tell me how to solve ?
Start by posting your IH3 support questions in the IH3 support thread.. THIS is the support thread for IH2..Quote:

I don't know if Image Handler 2 support is still active but here goes.
I'm sure that this has happened to someone before but my search didn't get anywhere.
In Firefox and IE Compatibility View everything is OK.
In IE everything seems OK with one crazy thing.
When the page is at the top ie. not scrolled down, the Image Handler "mouseover" works OK but if you scroll down the page the mouseover does not work.
It is the same on the Featured Products sidebox on the Home page as well as the Product Listing pages and the Cross Sell images on the Product pages.
If someone could help me I would appreciate it.
My site is poolcuesexpress dot com.

What version of IE are you experiencing the issue in
IE9 has known issues with the js in IH2 this was fixed in IH3, just download IH3, and copy the js out of that and see if it makes a diiference
so replace
/includes/templates/Cue-Express/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js
with (from the IH3 download)
/includes/templates/your_templaet/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js

Yes, that worked great.
Thank you so much for the time you took to help me.

Not sure if anybody will see this thread but I'm having a problem and I really need some help, I need my mum's site up asap and this is stopping me. I'm using 1.3.9 and using Image Handler 2, but I'm having a problem... whenever I create a product and upload a photo from her camera (usually called something like "014.JPG), it uploads fine. However when I go to Image Handler2 in the tools section and select the product, nothing appears underneath it, whereas it worked with a different product which was called "vernon something.png"... This is what I see:
http://puu.sh/h1DB
Any ideas why this is? I'd love some help asap please, this is really frustrating me... Many thanks^^
ps- I think it might have something to do with the file extensions but I'm really not sure
File extensions do matter. If the products main image is a .png all additional images need to be .png.
How about if the original is a .JPG, capitalised, as are the additional images? When I have the original as a .JPG (capitalised), for some reason it doesn't appear in Image Handler2 in tools, but I'm unsure if it's due to that... any ideas? Thanks for your reply :)Quote:

That's not the issue unfortunately because if I upload the product with a .JPG, I can't even access the product on Image Handler, like in the screenshot I posted above... nothing appears, regardless of capitalisation.Quote:

One other thing - is there a way to mass rename images to .png from .JPG?
Can't find how to edit my posts but no worries, I've managed to work it out :) Thanks jeking
The issue re: file extensions was fixed in the IH3 release. It's best that you upgrade to IH3.Quote:
Originally Posted by Dothra

No need to make them a higher resolution PNG or png file because you can upload a jpg and tell IH to display it as a png.
Bottom line: Either -
Upgrade to IH3
OR
Keep your file extensions all lower case or upper case.
AND...no matter which of these you do...read the readme file. Particularly the configuration tab re: image settings and the troubleshooting tab re: prepare your site for growth.
Good luck and happy Zenning :smile:
Thank you kindly for your post. The problem is that all my images are .JPG, and when I have it like that, nothing at all appears in Image Handler2... if Image Handler3 solves the issue, I may have to upgrade since it'll save me a lot of frustration... thanks very much for your post.Quote:

(hence why they didn't work) Lastly Unix servers see JPG and jpg as being two different things.. so as ScriptJunkie point out, your file extensions need to be consistent or you will have issues..Quote:

Agreed the images are probably not JPGs. Dothra...you mentioned uploading the images directly from your mom's camera. Windows may have named them with the JPG file extension...but that doesn't mean they are truly JPGs.Quote:

Thanks for the replies guys. I will stick with IH2 for now and I can understand what you mean about the files not really being JPGs, so for now I'll just get my mum to use RenameMaster to rename files after uploading them to her computer - it's all resolved, many thanks.
Hi.
Discovered a strange IE behaviour:
Fancy image hover only work when page is at very top. As soon as scrolling a bit it stops working?
Other browsers fine!

Changed to newest jscript_imagehover.js and all fine!Quote:

IH2 is an old extension that has been replaced by IH3 (which is compatible with zencart 1.3.9x series and has other fixes as well),

As this is the Image Handler 2 support thread, you can start by going to the correct support thread.. (Hint: link to the correct support thread is in the readme for IH3)
Second if you read the support thread you would know that the current version does not work with Zen Cart v1.5.. (another reason why it pays to read the support threads before posting questions)

It won't make any difference if he explains what he did because you've installed an addon that doesn't work with your current version of zen cart. Additionally, you've posted in the wrong support thread.Quote:

You've been told this before. I'm going to have to ask you to read and pay attention to the responses to your support requests. Volunteers simply do not have the time to continuously respond to posters who won't read the replies that contain the help that was asked for.
You must install addons that match the current version of your zen cart installation....so far you've tried to install two versions of Image Handler (both designed to work with older versions of Zen Cart) into a Zen Cart 150 installation.
Suggest you read this post and subscribe to this thread and refrain from posting any more support requests until you have the appropriate addon to function with your current zc installation.
Good luck and happy zenning :smile:

Re: Animated Gifs not working due to incorrect size
Further to my problem of an animated gif not working due to its incorrect size, this is just to let you know that I found a solution to my problem at:
http://www.ashongsoft.com/product/gif-resizer.html
The only thing it did not do was preserve the transparent background it had, but turned it white. In my case, this does not matter as my page background is also white.
There may be other gif resizers out there that do preserve the transparency. Useful search words "animated gif resizer".
Cheers :clap:
Need help please. I have IH installed. additional images are showing, but other unrelated image are showing. How do i fixed. See example below
only the last 4 additional images should be pulling but more are pulling, image not related to that product.
Please help.
http://rockycase.com/casesandcovers/...oducts_id=1802
Not an IH2 issue.
a search for:
Search:
Type: FAQs/Articles/Tutorials; Keyword(s): additional, images
would turn up this:
http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...-product-pages
I did read the article and tutorial about the additional image. But I do not see how to go around the issue. Could anyone please help.
This is giving me headache. I realize that when the specific product image has for example "red" in it names, the product info will pull image from zen cart with naming that contain "red" even though the product are not related at all. Please check this page below for what I am seeing. I will appreciate anyone help and suggestion:
http://rockycase.com/casesandcovers/...oducts_id=1799
http://rockycase.com/casesandcovers/...oducts_id=1874
Not sure what else anyone can tell you here.. The answer is you need to rename your images. That will solve the issue so that Zen Cart doesn't grab images from one product as additional images to another..Quote:

Hi,
Running IH2 with ZC 1.38.
Running into an issue where product images seem to be overlapping. (notice the 2nd and 3rd images).
http://www.straightrazordesigns.com/...-toilette-50ml
I'm seeing this in multiple places, where images that were uploaded to product A are showing up under product B along with the correct images.
The images appear to have similar names (English\ Fern.jpg English\ Fern\ Soap\ in\ Bowl.jpg English\ Fern\ Soap.jpg) when they were uploaded (They had spaces in the names).
We haven't run into this before, but we just upgraded to mysql 5.x.. And I'm guessing that's a piece of it. Has anyone else run into this before?
Thanks
David
The same answer I posted JUST ABOVE your post is the same answer for you.. Please read the article regarding additional images..

Hi
I got image handler 4. There seems to be an extra 2 folder in there which isnt in the installation folder it tells you to upload.
These extra 2 folders are actually in the readme folder. Im assuming i dont upload the readme folder?
It said to read EVERYTHING in the threads but its like 700 pages and i dont have a spare week so forgive me for asking!
Im confused
IN the readme for IH4 it says to come to THIS thread. But i just read back it says this is thread for Image Handler 2 only. So where is Image handler 4 thread? Also why is there some image and include folders in the README folder that is not meant to be uploaded?
Image Handler 4 may only be used with Zen Cart v1.5.0. If you are using any prior version Zen Cart, then you may not use IH4.
Zen Cart v1.3.8 = Image Handler2 ONLY (this version of Zen Cart is very unsecure and should be updated immediately!!!!)
Zen Cart v1.3.9a-h = Image Handler3 ONLY (this version of Zen Cart is stable. IH3 was built specifically for ZC139
Zen Cart v1.5.0 = Image Handler4 ONLY (this version of IH is not backwards compatible with earlier versions of ZC)
No, you do not upload the readme folder and files.

The IH support thread is here: IH4 Support thread
All of the files and sub-folders in the README folder are there to make the README document render in your browswer (it is a web based document). You do not upload this folder and it's files and sub-folders into your ZC installation because they are not necessary for IH4 to function.

Simple.. so that the readme file works.. NO WHERE in the installation instructions are ANY of the files in the readme referred to because they are NOT part of the installation files..Quote:

Uninstalled and installed again and now this scenario played out: the small thumbnails on the category overview showed from the bmz_cache (as I expected). The hover effect showed the same small image (quite useless in that case) - the product page showed the original image that I uploaded (no change) and it linked to a 404 xxx_LRG.jpg file that didn't exist. (Folders were chmodded to 777)
For a product that says it works out of the box, I'm not exactly diggin it.
Did you check under tools>IH_4 ? That's where mine was, plus the icon next to productsQuote:

How often is it necessary to clear the bmz-cache? And I read that with my version I may need to reupload its .htaccess and .keep files after clearing, but I don’t even see those in the file at all. Should I have them?
I have IH2.0, Rev8b running on ZC1.3.9h
those are invisible files which sometimes--depending on your ftp orogram--do not show up, but you should be able to see them in your c-panel file mamager.Quote:

the only cache I try to keep down is the main cache folder in your stores folder...it can grow enormously.
and since you are using 1.3.9h then this should be in that versions support thread.
This is the right support thread for IH2..Quote:

I don't think this might be an IH2 problem...but rather look at this line in your file for this mod:Quote:

Did you set the word in red to on
you might also try changing this to on also
echo "<b>Display image options</b> - possible values on, off default value on<br />";
echo "image=on (on,off) <a href=\"" . $script_basepath . "?image=off" . "\" >" . $script_basepath . "?image=off" . "</a><br /><br />";
keep a copy of the original to replace if it does not work. change the duplicate to say on then reupload to your server files then test it to see if it gives results wanted. If yes great, if not then put back the original and come back for just in case it is an IH2 otherwise you may need to start a thread in "other contributions" to get better help
Hi all,
I have quite a problem with lightbox. Before installing lightbox, I installed a custom template and everything works fine.
And then I installed the latest version of lightbox and everything still works fine except the text 'larger image' appears on my main product and additional product images.
I tried to replace tpl_modules_main_product_image.php back to the old one but doesn't work.
I tried define('TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE', 'larger image');
to
define('TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE', '');
and I can't get into any pages of my website as it creates error. I put everything back to how it was and my lightbox seems to still go haywire. Whenever I enlarge an image the container fills up my whole page even though the image is smaller. And I still have the 'larger image' text.
May I know if there's any way to install the latest lightbox without overwriting the old ones in the product pages? I was trying to apply the latest lightbox to a media page i created in ezpages.
do you have IH2 installed? That is where you are posting, if you don't then you will need to go to the support thread for the lightbox mod you have installed.Quote:

and all of that information should be posted in the right support thread (for the lightbox)Quote:

Any help with this would be much appreciated thanks.

Is that a paid for template, hopefully not from template monster. I think there is a bit more that is not functioning right...cause the lightbox doesn't work either, loop of searching for image doesn't stop to show image. No hover images on promos either...unless you set images to not show hover.
Try reuploading the files to their folders again.
Try using the default template to see if it behaves then that might narrow the problems to the template you are using now.
And did you install the right version of Image Handler for the version of Zen Cart you are running?? Because version 2 is old.. largely unsupported, and does not work with Zen Cart v1.5 (which would be clear in the downloads section)Quote:

Hi,
Can anyone help me solve why my additional images are not working? I have the check the admin - catalogue - product types - general -> true... I have uploaded my images forexample - ledspeaker1.jpg then ledspeaker.jpg and I get nothing? I'm also not using any H2/3 or H4 plug ins
If you are not using H2/3 or H4, I assume you mean IH (Image Handler) and not H, then why are you posting in this thread?
If you are using IH, *how* are you uploading your images?

If you are not, then your question is still off topic and needs to be posted elsewhere..Quote:

If you are really using ZenCart v138a then you NEED to upgrade now on your schedule versus getting hacked and having to perform a clean and an upgrade

Thank you
If Image Handler is installed correctly it should manage the product and category images in your site.. If you are speaking of images other than your product and category images, the answer is NO Image Handler will not manage other images on your site.. It's not clear what images you are referring to and since you've not provided links to what you are specifically referring to on your site, this is the best (only) answer I can give you.Quote:

Hi there,
I've looked through a few pages of posts and searched but can't find any info.
Has anyone been able to modify the code so that it uses the images actual name instead of the md5 hash? It would be better for SEO if it used the correct image name.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Cheers, John.
Its back to the future.... :DQuote:

Download the older version, if you can find it for inspiration.

Lots of debate about this.Quote:

I've been using IH 2 for the last few years and it works just fine. I mainly use it for additional product images (i.e. fabric swatches, alternate photos, etc.)
Here's my problem ~
The ZC site is being replaced and I need a list of images that are associated with each product. Are the alternate image names stored anywhere in the database or is there a way to compile a list of product ID & image name?

To see what images are being used you can go to IH2 admin area and look in there for every product.....write down the image name.
Not sure if there is another way since it changes the name when caching.
The primary product image names are stored in the product table. You can derive the additional images by knowing the primary product image name. See the Zen Cart FAQs for the posts regarding the required naming conventions used to identify additional images in Zen Cart.Quote:

You won't be able to gather the IH cache images (the optimized large, med, & small images) in any kind of automated manner unless you are willing to write code to manage that conversion/automation for you, but you will be able to to gather the MAIN image associated with each product.. Hopefully your new shopping cart has a means to create alternate image sizes from the main product image (as IH does for you).Quote:
