waiting for solve....
I don't know what this means
but I do know that if you don't install IH3 according to the instructions, if you delete some of it's files, or if you move files into subfolders where they don't belong (including image files), then you will have problems.Quote:
now i install all are in a subfolder
You need to read the readme in it's entirety to understand how to name and file your images appropriately for use with this mod. Have you looked at the troubleshooting tab of the readme?
Secondly, you need to understand that even though you've said that you do not have "Product Zoom" installed....you actually do have it installed.
A review of your source code indicates that your template, designed by boilbox.com, has a product image zoom modification built in to it called "productZoom". It is conflicting with IH3, either via it's js file or it's core files.
Suggest you try changing your template to the classic zencart template to see if IH3 is working properly with the the default template created by zc. If it is not...we can troubleshoot from there once you uninstall, reinstall, and configure IH3 according to the readme file. (this includes properly filing and naming your images).
Once you have IH3 properly installed and configured, and once you have your images properly named and filed...you will see it works fine with the classic template.
Only then can you change back to your preferred template. If, upon doing so, IH3 doesn't work...then you will have evidence that the problem lies in the template and you will have to get tech support from your template designer.
Good luck and happy zenning :smile:

make sure you upload all the files---from the zips folders into the exact same places they are located in the server...with the ones from your_template going into your actual stores template folder
and yes as suggested please try it in the default theme too to see if it works right there.
The store template you are using it is one from here or bought somewhere else.
that huge one would maybe not work either due to size.
Let me jump in here and say a few things.. There's NOTHING wrong that I can see with wowemall's small image sizes.. They are set the way we recommend in the IH3 readme.. If your concern was having NO height set, this too is okay and explained in the IH3 readme..Quote:

I do KNOW that it's it's there, because I can see it in the view source for their site.. It's likely it's because of this add-on that there are issues with IH3..
wowemall needs to re-install IH3 taking care to follow the instructions in the readme and make sure to MERGE the IH3 code with their own site code since it's clear that some of the same files modified by IH3 were modified by wowemall's add-on or template (which has an image effects module bundled in).
i upload all files same as image hander3, please compare and solve.
old files are * - Copy.php
see files download url : www.wowemall.com/Image_Handler3_v3_0.rar
if you take any charges for this work tell me.
i check image size in image handler and i found all 3 images site are same here:
Default size 85x85
Medium size 85x85
Large size 85x85
why ?

Just change your image sizes in your settings to what you want them to be.Quote:

Ok, well these image sizes are taken directly from the image settings that you set in admin>configuration>images....the same settings you've posted previously.Quote:

You need to take the following steps:
- Uninstall IH3 according to the uninstall instructions found in the readme file.
- Change your template to the zen cart classic template temporarily
- Reinstall IH3 according to the install instructions in the readme
- Configure IH3 according to the configuration instructions in the readme.
Of course, these steps will require you to actually read the readme in its entirety.
No further support will be provided unless and until you follow these steps, because if you're not able or willing to do these things, then there's nothing further we can do to assist you...our hands are simply tied.
If, after following the steps above and while still using the classic zen cart template, you find that either:
- IH3 works as expected, then you know the problems you've had are related to your custom template. We can't help you with that. You will need either a new template that is made for zen cart, or hire someone to fix it.
-or-
- IH3 does not work as expected, suggest you consider hiring someone to install it for you.
Good luck and happy Zenning :smile:
P.S. The links provided for hiring help come from the "Commercial Help Wanted" section of the zc forum.
Nods in agreement..:yes: **sigh**

The old picture deleted fine, but when trying to upload the new pictures, the system would just hang up (progress bar starts and just sits there). Would this be an issue with IH or my server? If it's IH where would I start looking? Many thanks.
It's likely an issue with your server or you've reached the file upload limits set for your store.. Neither of which is an issue caused by IH3.. How big is the image?? Zen Cart has settings which limit the size of file uploads.. If your image exceeds your maximum settings this could be a cause for the system hanging.. Again, this would not be an IH3 issue though as much as it is you would need to either adjust your file upload maximum settings (not recommended as the defaults are okay) or reduce your image file size..Quote:

JUST KIDDING! :laugh:
Seriously though, I just installed the 1.5.0 ZC version for the first time and was installing the addons I typically use on previous versions and came to IH and wondered. That's how I wandered over here to see if there was an update.
Hurry up! But take your time ... no mistakes buster! :wink:
*snickers* Sorry, am in a bratty mood today.
Thank you for providing a wonder addon. Can't wait for your next version. I know it will take you a bit to get all the coding squared away - we'll be here when you are ready. :yes:
**socks beyre in the eye**
:laugh::laugh:
JUST KIDDING!!
Thanks for the laugh.. You know I am good about posting updates when I have one to post.. Just periodically check in..:smile:

Is there a way to link directly to a thumbnail when IH3 is installed? I have a product export as a pricefile which I send to shoppingagents but the only imagelink I can get to work in there is to the full image.
So in this file I would rather have a link to the thumbnail.
Is this possible and how?
Hi, I wish to edit my images to display like this;

If you could point me to the correct CSS code I can get to work. This is the page I wished to be edited

Thanks.
And HOW does your question related to the IMAGE HANDLER add-on???
Because if you are asking a GENERAL "how can I do this" question, you are in the wrong part of the forum.. This is the support thread for Imaged Handler 3. If you have other image related questions you need to create your own thread and ask you question there..

Your question is not related to IH3 and needs to be posted elsewhere on the forum. Here's why:
IH3 makes re-sized and optimized copies of your original images (leaving the originals untouched) and stores them in a cache folder called bmz_cache. When a page on your site is called by a browser, these re-sized and optimized copies are loaded quickly, thus reducing loading time and bandwidth used.
The kind of edits you're talking about making to your images have nothing at all to do with IH3 or it's functionality. The editing you want to accomplish must be done by you (or a graphic specialist that you hire) before you ever even upload them to your server and long before IH ever copies/shrinks/optimizes them.
Exactly!!!Quote:

Well, I thought due to the fact that IH3 resizes all the pictures that it would be the way to unhance the sizes of the page listed, obviously I was wrong about that.
I had already made a thread about this in the layout section;
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=192415
No one has been able to really help
IH does not enlarge images. It takes a large image (You should upload the largest sized image you want displayed), and makes it smaller for faster loading...displaying only the largest version on hover. Read the Readme file for information on how to use and configure IH3 in order to get the most out of it.Quote:

Recently upgraded to IH3 from IH2, but that's irrelevant.
I've got a problem - since the camera my mum uses is set to make a new folder every day (makes it easier to organise things), the names of the files are numbers are saved subsequently. For example, there is a folder from yesterday and a folder for today. 10 photos were taken in both days. In EACH of the folders have the names of the images as '01.JPG' all the way to '010.JPG' in each folder. They collide with each other - I mean like, if I upload a product using the image '38.JPG', then if I ever upload another product called '38.JPG', all of the additional images are added on to that product, creating a problem.
Is there a way around this?
The best bet is never to use numeric filenames for exactly this reason. Rename them to something that realtes to the product. this will help in three ways
1. No more overwriting when you upload
2. You can see easily what the photo refers to
3. You can add multiple images to a product easier because fred1, fred2, fred3 etc will always show in the product fred without having to do anything clever
I'd love to do that instead but unfortunately the only way the camera names images is numerically. I'd name the files separately (well, my mum would), but it involves far too much effort for the prices she sells some of her items (she only has 1 of each product and sells them for like £5.99 each). Isn't there a way around this?Quote:
Originally Posted by kbear

Unfortunately, after that you are stuck, since storing them in multiple subdirectories will mean you have to tell zen cart where to find them each time - for instance when you set up the product, instead of pointing to the main folder to store the picture, you will have to point to the correct sub folder. So you will end up with a structure like
images
images/2012
images/2012/2012-01-01
etc
all of these subfolders could have images in of the same name since IH3 creates its own names to store the resized images I think
Thanks a lot for your help, I double checked the camera settings, found an option, changed it and then took a few pictures - they're being named differently now. Thanks! ^^
No.. this behavior is not caused by Image Handler. It's default Zen Cart behavior since the file names is how Zen Cart links additional images to a product.. Please refer back tot he IH3 readme.. We provide a link to the Zen Cart FAQ and other articles on this..Quote:

I believe there's a section of the forum that contains a link to a site where one can find individuals proficient in ZC.
thanks - I've already merged what needs to be merged.Quote:

$products_image_large = DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'large/' . $products_image_base . IMAGE_SUFFIX_LARGE . $products_image_extension;
Just follow the install instructions and you'll be fine..
Oh it eventually expires.. just takes a long time because of the way they count the number of trial days.. Invest in the software.. worth the cost.. Free updates.. (something the trial version doesn't get you)Quote:

how is this done.

I was told this add-on would resize my images but right now I'm at a loss as to how to use it.
can I get some help here?

ideas?
Well to start with you might want to make sure you installed the correct version of the software.. this is the "Image Handler 3 Support Thread". You stated you installed Image handler 2, and you stated that the readme doesn't explain how to use this mod.. All of which tells me you have the WRONG/OLD version of IH installed.. Suggest you uninstall, and download and install the correct version first. Read the reame that comes with it.. It DOES indeed eplain how to setup and configure Image Handler..

I pick a product and sometimes their images display (on the manager screen) and sometimes they don;t display - no errors are being thrown.
for instance - I just clicked 'display' of one of my products on the Manager screen and only the medium image displayed - nothing displayed in the default or large then when I click back to display the first of two products all three images display and then when clicking back to the second product - all three images display this time.
if this a caching situation?

here's a link : http://www.bravoshop.net/index.php?m...ex&cPath=66_76
sometime all the images appear, sometimes not.
are the small, medium and large images created on an "as needed" basis and then cached?
since there's not 'batch' creation of the new images in multiple sizes how exactly does this add-on create the three different sized images in preparation for display.
ps: are the watermarks added on the fly or are new images created with the watermarks permanently affixed?

After you get the right version installed, and configured properly, it'll help folks help you better if you go to page one of this support thread and read through the first three posts.. (ALL of this same information is also in the IMAGE HANDLER 3 readme)Quote:

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:
for instance.
I can refresh this screen over and over and sometimes all the images are there and sometimes they're not.

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.Quote:

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

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):
Parens ARE special characters and therefore do not belong in file names. Neither do spaces. Use underscores instead. i.e. file_name.jpgQuote:
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\
See if making those huge images smaller and renaming your files appropriately doesn't help solve your issues.
Good luck and happy zenning :smile:

I wonder is one of you folks much more knowledgable could point to the place in the admin code where images are actually uploaded and saved - mostly the part where products images are saved.
What are you trying to accomplish?Quote:

Additionally, these files work with a separate piece of software (GD libraries or ImageMagick) to accomplish what it does.
It's just not as simple as ....."where is the code that handles IH3's main function?".
If all you want is a general understanding of how IH3 works...it's in the ReadMe file...first tab.
The images that IH3 creates are stored in the bmz_cache folder, located in the store root. Your original images that you upload are stored in whatever image folder or subfolder that you uploaded them to.Quote:
Image Handler3 enables you to use GD libraries or ImageMagick (if installed on your server) to generate and resize small, medium and large images on the fly on page request. You can simply upload just one image or you can have different sources for medium and large images. Image Handler3 further enables you to watermark your images (overlay a second specific translucent image) and have medium or large images pop up when you move your mouse over a small image (fancy hover).
Nothing to do with IH, But this is why that happensQuote:

Depending on how your server or ftp client is set up it may only recognise jpg as images and not JPG, this won't effect the working of the site, or anything like that its just an internal filter, its actauall fairly common
for instance if you use the file manager that comes with cpanel
it displays the file type of
.jpg as image/x-generic and
.JPG as text/x-generic
it won't effect your site in anyway, in your case your ftp client probably has a filter that displays known image types with a certain colour - you would probably just need to add to its definitions
I'm not interested in where IH3 save the image I already know that.
I'm interested in the exact place in the code where the standard version of Zencart 1.39 actually saves the uploaded image. I have another project in mind and since people here are very familiar with the code I figured I'd ask here first.
thanks in advance.
Not to be a nag, but since this is NOT an Image Handler specific question, you should post it elsewhere in it's own topic..Quote:

It is not something that is going to happen overnight, sorry
is there any mileage in incorporating timthumb in to the re-worked Image Handler?
On the downside it's externally maintained code, but you *could* say that about PHP or jquery.
On the plus side it does the image resizing on the fly and could feasibly be dropped in to the zen_image function. It also has a crop function for when you absolutely need your images square.
I'm working with it now for a site where I need to resize the attribute images.
Sure I can see a lot of value as TimThumb includes options that are not part of the current Image Handler featureset. In particular these features:Quote:

- zoom / crop - Change the cropping and scaling settings
- filters - too many to mention. Let's you apply image filters to the modify the resized picture. For instance you can change brightness/ contrast or even blur the image
- sharpen - Apply a sharpen filter to the image, makes scaled down images look a little crisper
I wouldn't try to link to TimThumb persay, but porting/integrating these features into Image Handler seems like a SMASHING idea..
Now that said would YOU be interested in updating Image Handler to make these changes?? Frankly I don't have the bandwidth to tackle this and this change is also a bit over my head to tackle..
Doesn't work with v1.5.. Being worked on.. NO ETA on release..Quote:

I am kind of interested in that in my on-going exploration of what the best way of dealing with images is :-) Which Diva knows all about.
The advantage of TimThumb is that it is pretty actively developed because of it's use in a lot of wordpress themes. And it is powerful. Perhaps too powerful in some respects. But it is a very solid bit of coding that actually would not be all that hard to incorporate into Zen in a nice way.
Disappointing but not surprising..:laugh:Quote:

I'm pretty sure NextGen gallery uses GD/ImageMagick directly rather than through timthumb or uses WordPress image handling. I will crack it open and look at the code next time I am in the vicinity.
Image resizing really ought to be core within Zen Cart IMHO. I would love to be able to help but my bandwidth is also at 100% doing Work for Money. I will report back about NGG and WP though.
Indeed it is nice..Quote:

Yes, NGG uses it's own crunching I believe. Yes, wordpresses own image handling is getting much better.
I just put timthumb 2 up on a zen test site. Integration would be pretty easy. It took me ten minutes to get a working version going so it can't have been all that hard :-) But it is a bit slow. And looking at the code I am not sure why that is.
Hmmm, interesting....
We have been using ZenCart for a while, and I am not sure if anyone has the issue when trying to access additional images or the settings, where the following message is shown:-
It won't let me uninstall, and we have had it since the first version.Quote:
No Image Handler information found.
But it still runs okay, just a niggle really, it is a shame there is no way to manually uninstall through SQL to try and reinstall.
A new image module sounds like a good idea, but Image Handler has been brilliant so far, the above being the only real issue.
I wish I could help with coding and such, but I am useless frankly lol. Mabye myself and other users could help donating to those that upgrade or create an image module. As we did when Tim Kroeger initially made this module.
The intall/uninstall can be "run" manually by removing all the Image Handle r admin configuration options (which is really all the install/uninstall SQL does)
If it won't "let" you uninstall, that is indicative of corruption in your Image Handler files..
ALL of which could be resolved by re-installing Image Handler.. and let me be clear... when I say re-install I mean RE-UPLOAD the files for the version of Image Handler you are running (you don't say which version you are running) and then see if the un-install/install features work again..

While it's true that niccol is working on a new image module, there has been NOTHING posted AYWHERE which would indicate/imply that Image Handler is dead/dying/not being updated.. it's being updated.. but there is no E.T.A. on when it will be available, as this free work is secondary to paid work and private lives.Quote:

I will follow the removal and reinstall procedure as you say, again, thanks for your valuable time helping me.
:smile:
Out of interest if anyone wants to have a play with the timthumb idea then they could have a look at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...15#post1108215
It kind of strengthens my own personal belief that IH is kind of a bit over-complicated -- in a nice way :-) But that is just a very personal opinion. Oh, and I like externally maintained code as long as it is maintained. Otherwise, as has been mentioned I would not work with PHP and jQuery. Many of the Zen Cart mods are not maintained ---although as has been pointed out this does not apply to IH.
And I do like small footprint solutions :smile:
Cool. I will reply under that thread. But Cool here!
Update on Zen Cart v1.5 compatibility update:
All is going well and there are several of us testing this. If you are interested in testing Image Handler PM me.. I need serious testers not folks looking to score an "early release" of Image Handler.:smile:
Crazy what work you guys put out "you put out"Quote:

Not looking to score in that sense but I due to being new to Zen Cart I honestly almost have no other choice.
So my question is
Any timeline on when you would expect it for v1.5 ?
I know - soooorrrry but gotta ask
Thanks for support - all this is soooo awesome -wow
From my earlier post..
Sorry wish I could give you a more definitive answer than that..:( All I can say is we are working as quickly as our free time allows..Quote:

Thanks for understanding and patience.. Shouldn't be too much longer now..:smile: (and NO I can't give any more of an ETA than that..)
I have the problem below, it seems quite common, without an easy fix. I get this error code at the bottom of the IH3 page after trying to upload an extra image. The images dont actually work or upload. I get "Success Image successfully saved." at the top of the page and this at the very bottom-
Error!
Unable to determine the page link!
Function used:
zen_href_link('', '', 'NONSSL')
Im running 1.3.9h and am having this same error on 2 sites, both on the same server.
Im running Image Handler3 v3.0 for v1.3.x.
Other mods are magiczoomplus, easypopulate4.
This has been reported many times in this thread.. Did you look at the commonly suggested fixes/remedies??
Also are you uploading a "default" image first?? In addition to other remedies already posted here, if you are uploading a new image to the large or medium image and NOT the default first, you could get this error. You must upload the default image when uploading new images.. If you wish to upload a different medium or large image you can do so after uploading the default image..
