Image Manager addon

[boudewijn]

Hi,

Actually I just started rebuilding our webshop to ZenCart 1.3.9. I also copied the IM package but had no opportunity yet to test it, as there are no products and images in my DB.
I will give this some priority and come up with an answer soon.

I did find a small bug in the English language file:

in

<admin dir>/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/image_manager.php line 30 should be:

define('IM_SELECT_IMG_IMG_ALL', 'All images');

Furthermore I did a small test with one product and one image, and all works fine. So I suspect the problem is in your config.
Can you check <admin dir>/includes/configure.php and check the values for:

HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER: should be something like http://www.mysite.com (no trailing slash)
DIR_WS_IMAGES: should be images/

and check if the image is actually in http://www.mysite.com/images/mypic.jpg

The uploaded image should appear, even before the medium and large image is made, if you select "Small images' or 'All images' in the option bar and click 'Send'.

Just checked configure.php admin/includes file and it is all correct.
All product images are in the correct image folder.

I tried selecting all different options and could not get any thumbnail images to appear. Nor were there any options anywhere to create med. or large images.

I will try your small change, but don't think that is big enough a change to make it work on my site. I did notice that another image manager addon named Imaged Handler required another program GD libraries or ImageMagick to work. However I see no mention of this anywhere about your addon. Is it required for yours as well and just doesnt mention it? ty for the help.

[boudewijn]

Ah yes of course.... good point to think of the prerequisites!
IM does require the GD library, for shrinking/watermarking, as well as for recognising a file as image.
Since it cannot determine image/no image, it won't display sizes, links etc.

As the GD library is quite commonly used (I never suspected it to be absent in installations), you may ask your ISP to activate it.

In the next version I will build a check to see if the library is loaded.

Thanks for your feedback!

Ok well this is getting interesting. Thank you in your patience helping me with this.

After finding out that I do need GD Library, I wanted to find out if I did indeed not have it installed as part of my ISP hosting.

I found this guide to check if GD is turned on.
http://assets.webassist.com/how-tos/gd_library_ht.pdf
It said to make a file named phpinfo.php with

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

upload it to my server and go to that file.
if it is on it said it would show me the info and it did.


GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled


Not sure where this leaves me. The only conclusion I can make is that something about my server is not compatible with the addon?

You can also do the check from within your Zen-cart admin interface: Tools->Server version/info.

Some more info that may be useful:
- What PHP version is on your server?
- The value of DIR_FS_CATALOG in the configure.php file in your <admin>/includes folder. This should be the file path on your server, to your zen-cart files, ending with a slash.

I really cannot think of anything not being compatible, as only standard PHP functions are used, which I believe were already supported in earlier versions of PHP. But one can never know.....

[Salixia]

PHP Version: 4.4.4
Apache http server

DIR_FS_CATALOG is a correct path. It is in this format;
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/usr2/home/domainname.com/htdocs/storename/');

I should also note the other addons I am using are:
Easy Populate v1.2.5.4
Super Orders 20 Rev48
Quick Order 1.2.3
Improved Attributes Controller
Attribute Grid 1.1.1
