Lighhtbox was installed first and to be very specific - I paid particular attention to this on the Misc tab.
Zen Lightbox vs. Fual Slimbox with Image Handler3
These contributions work very similarly. Both mods include jquery or mootools, keyboard navigation, etc.
In order for them to work with Image Handler3 you must merge or replace the one file Image Handler3 has in common with both of these mods, includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php as follows:
Zen Lightbox - Replace the additional_images.php from Image Handler3 with the one that comes with Zen Lightbox. (Zen Lightbox has included all the merged code required for Zen Lightbox and Image Handler3 to work well together):smile:
Re: Image Handler 3 Support Thread
for instance.
I can refresh this screen over and over and sometimes all the images are there and sometimes they're not.

just too much strangeness going on.
product here won;t display image at all and when you click on larget image it starts to load and just hangs.

bummer.
- Did you upload just a single photo per product, or did you upload small, medium, and large sizes also (using the _MED and _LRG file extensions? <which you should not do if you're using IH3>
- How big is your largest photo in both dimension and file size?
By the way, it works fine for me. Image loads just fine, as does the lightbox image when "larger" is clicked.
I DO see what you mean about the images not always loading on refresh after refresh on this page: http://www.bravoshop.net/index.php?m...index&cPath=65
That's why I asked what size images you're using.

I only have one image uploaded per product with the exception of one of my products.
I would have to say the largest photo is about 2,000 x 3,000 pixels most are 600 x 800
there's one photo is particular that simply does not want to load even though the page source code served points to an image that is in the bmz_cache and it's a small image about 150 wide and none of my images have any special characters although a few have embedded spaces and one has parens
I use Netscape but the bahavior is similar in Internet Exploder

Re: Image Handler 3 Support Thread
1. 600x800 is ok...but those 2000x3000 are just way too large. You need to size them down because large files like that slow down the server. (yes..IH shrinks them, optimizes them, and serves them up more quickly...but the image must be reasonably sized to start with in order to obtain max performance).
2. From the ReadMe (troubleshooting tab):
Quote:
Make sure that your main product image files names DO NOT contain any special characters (non-alphanumeric characters such as / \ : ! @ # $ % ^ < > , [ ] { } & * ( ) + = ). Always use proper filenaming practices when naming your images - See this document as a reference:
http://www.records.ncdcr.gov/erecord...508_final.pdf\
Parens ARE special characters and therefore do not belong in file names. Neither do spaces. Use underscores instead. i.e. file_name.jpg
See if making those huge images smaller and renaming your files appropriately doesn't help solve your issues.
Good luck and happy zenning :smile:

ok - well here some other news that's odd.
one of the files that will not display is listed in pink (via putty)
I'm not a linux guru but I wonder if this means the file is currently open?

And we are not linux gurus either..:smile: So no clue..:no:
Suggest looking at the original image that was the source of the cached image. Follow Script Junkie's suggestions for modifying the original image if any of her suggestions regarding file names or image size applies..
