Problem with Image Handler: 404 - image_handler.php not found

[Kayz]

I am running Zen Cart 1.3.8

I just installed Image Handler by installing all the files individually into their corresponding folders.

The problem is that when I go into admin>tools>image handler 2 and click on it i get a error page saying the following.

Not Found
The requested URL /zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007/my_admin_name/image_handler.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Can some one please tell what this means and how I can correct it so I can get image handler working properly...

Thank you

The 404 part is easy.

Add this to your .htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?main_page=page_not_found

The other problem; I have no idea.

I had left out the admin>image_handler.php file

I thought I got them all. What a goose. lol

So many files to keep track of. Not enough time. :-(

Thanks for the help. :-) :-)

... leads me to wonder HOW you are uploading your modules...

From this, I infer that you are manually opening up each folder in the module on your local drive, then on the remote server, navigating to the relevant folder, then porting each FILE across...

FTP does not overwrite FOLDERS - only FILES (if such exist at the same directory level on the server).

When you upload a module, you need to read the instructions (typically a README.TXT file) to see what the author says about file over-writes and/or folder name changes (such as the need to name certain folders after your custom template).

When you have "matched up" the folder names, and BACKED UP the files on the server that will be over-written, then you just need to navigate to the ROOT of both the Module (local drive) and the ZC installation (Remote Server) - highlight the folders/files in the LOCAL frame and then click the "arrow" that ports everything to the server.

The CONTENTS of the folder are ported across, and the folder on the remote server is NOT over-written.

So, for example, if the module has the following:

admin (FOLDER)
includes (FOLDER)
module_file.php (FILE)


Then you navigate to the server in the remote frame of FTP until you see:

admin (FOLDER)
includes (FOLDER)
... and a few others, of course

... and then you HIGHLIGHT (select) in the LOCAL FTP FRAME:

admin
includes
module_file.php

... and click the arrow to port everything to the server. The process will maintain file and folder tree integrity for you...

Ok I think I have it working properly now.

I just have one question.

I was told that you only needed to upload 1 photo per product and that Image handler would do the rest for me.

Well when you go to upload a image through this add on you can upload the images 3 ways.

Default image file
Medium image file
Large image file

Which one do I upload my image to (I would be using my large image for all)

Would I be right in saying it would be the default image file option?

And how do add more then one image for a single product using this add on?

ie: I have a dress that is available in black and in pink. I want to use the black one as the main image but to have the pink one show on the product more information page.

How do I do this?

I answered this in your other post, but...

IH2 does not upload and configure additional images. It also negates the need for MED and LRG images. You now just need ONE image, and that should reside in your images folder**. Additional images must be NAMED according to ZC additional image naming convention, and are FTP's to the same images folder as the MAIN image(s).

** if you have a LOT of images (several thousand) it is a good idea to separate these into different folders, so that the call for the images is faster.

In your case:

images/corsets
images/bustiers
images/thongs
... etc

Then the MAIN image for a corset, for example will be in

images/corsets/bluecorset.jpg


... and its ADDITIONAL images will be:

images/corsets/bluecorset_01.jpg
images/corsets/bluecorset_02.jpg
