Image Manager addon

Yes. You can use IM on your local server to prepare/create all images for the products. After that you can upload the images folders to the live server, where nothing more remains to be done. Theoretically you won't need IM on your live server, as nothing needs to be managed on the images anymore.

Hi, i finally found time to install this module to a test site. I dont know where i have gone wrong but i dont think it is working, or i know how to use it. lol

I installed the files to my root, applied the SQL statement. There were no errors returned and i can see
Admin>Configuration> Image Manager
no problem.

But when I change the settings nothing happens????
I uploaded a .png to the large folder to give watermake but no watermark appears

I created a test product and upload a large image but no resized versions of this image have appeared.

And i have no idea about the following

2. Management of images, not attached to products
Image Manager will provide a list of all files, that are present in the image folder and subfolders. Both main image files
and additional images of products will be excluded from the list. The additional files are recognised following the naming
instructions in the Zen-Cart Tutorials/FAQ (see https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=58).
It excludes some folders that are known to have other uses.
The option to show a link or a thumbnail, or show the thumbnail of the file when hovering the mouse over the filename,
is also functional here.
A link is provided to delete the file
Also, each image has a checkbox to select for multiple delete. After clicking 'Send' you will be asked for confirmation,
and the removal will be done.

Can some please help me learn where or what is going wrong??

Hi Emily,

The bad news is: yes, the watermarking is part of the shrinking process.
The good news is: you can persuade me to add an option to watermark an already ok-size image

I will see what I can do on short term. It will be a simple fix, which doesn't check if the image already has been watermarked.

Best regards,
Boudewijn

I installed the files to my root

Where exactely did you install the files? your website root or your admin root?

[dutchy]

Hi, thanks for the reply. Sorry, i meant the admin root. I also forgot to say it is a freash install of 1.3.9f with no other mods.

As its just a test site i will wipe everything and start again. I will let you know if i have success or get stuck again.

Hi,

After upload of the files in the package and running the SQL-patch, IM should be available in the Tools menu......
