Image Handler 5 (for v1.5.5 - v1.5.8) Support Thread

1st time using IH5 :blush:

Is it normal that the watermark doesn't appear on the product listing page images?

All 3 configs (WATERMARK_SMALL_IMAGES, WATERMARK_MEDIUM_IMAGES & WATERMARK_LARGE_IMAGES) have a value set to "yes".

I've just tested IH 5.1.1, setting all watermarks enabled and using the Responsive Classic template with the demo products. I can see the watermark on the small images, but its very faint.

Nope, changed to the Responsive Classic template.

Watermarks now only appear on additional images and on images within the popup window.

I am not worried about it, just installed to see if it conflicted with a mod I was working on.

Yes! Absolutely right. The template is now updated with IH5.

Another question I have is regarding the product listing images. I have multiple sized images, how can I have them all the same size so the images look organized and not of various sizes? Same goes for new products, featured, etc. I indicated 300 x 240 on the config/image page with no luck.

Thanks again!

I usually configure IH-5 for a minimum height and let the width "go with the flow", since it's the image-height variations that can make a site visually unappealing.

I have always assumed the opposite. After having a look, yes I agree the image-height fixed size looks much better.

Thank you!

Hi,
Just installed IH5 on a fresh zen cart 1.5.5f, than added fual slimbox after.
All seemed well except I just noticed the Mini IH Icon doesn't actually show on the Admin Product pages, all the other icons shows except the IH5 icon.
The only I can see IH5 is to go to Admin > Tools > Image Handler 5.

What have I done wrong??

You're apparently missing the /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/extra_datafiles/image_handler.php file, which defines the constant FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER.

Thank you for your reply, just checked and the files are there.
Where to next please?

A couple more things that you can check. Starting with zc1.5.5, the file /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php should contain the following code fragment around line 367:

Code:

---

<?php if (defined('FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER') && file_exists(DIR_FS_ADMIN . FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER . '.php')) { ?>
        <?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER, 'products_filter=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . '&current_category_id=' . $current_category_id) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_image_handler.gif', ICON_IMAGE_HANDLER) . '</a>'; ?>
<?php } ?>

---

You've already checked that the extra_datafile (which defines FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER) exists, so the other requirements for that icon's display are:

1. The presence of /YOUR_ADMIN/image_handler.php.
2. The presence of /YOUR_ADMIN/images/icon_image_handler.gif.

Are both of those files present?
