Image Handler 4 (for v1.5.x) Support Thread

[bobmeetin]

They were not very helpful. I messed with this for several hours again, testing, one piece at a time and figured out that if I installed IH4 and implemented zen_lightbox-v1.6.4 rather than the other lightbox that it worked. Thanks for the pointer regarding the differences in lightboxes. That's something a relatively new person like me would not recognize.

Glad you got it sorted.. Suggest not dealing with Template Monstrosity or any of their re-sellers going forward..

Okay, I've read through and searched through this thread and elsewhere on the 'net with no luck. I'm not an idiot when it comes to Zen-Cart, I've been using it for years, upgraded, wrote some of my own PHP to go along with it. I'm very familiar with how it all works, but I'm having what seems to be an error that I am blind to. I have upgraded from ZC 1.3.8 to ZC 1.5 following the official procedure, and used a comparison tool to apply the custom theme that I designed for the previous version. I've got the site functional with all previous content, products, images, etc., and I began adding back modules, starting with Image Handler. I previously used IH2 with the old site, so if there was any database manipulation by IH2 in the previous store, it's in the database now, though I have made sure there aren't any old IH2 files anywhere. I read through the installation guide, and everything in the very well written and designed read me, followed along, renamed the "YOUR_ADMIN" to what I am currently using successfully to access the admin area, uploaded it all via FTP, clicked another link as directed, and all I get is errors, which I am attaching in a screenshot. It looks as though whatever cursed auto-installer is using to pull the name of the admin folder is wrong, or something, because it is clearly not looking in the right location for the files. I am honestly dumbfounded that I am the only person who has experienced this, so that leads me to believe it's something simple that I'm missing somehow.

Currently running the following versions:

PHP Version: 5.3.18
MySQL 5.1.66-cll
ZC: 1.5.0

Well, the installer just gets the name of your admin file from DIR_FS_ADMIN. SO it is just using one of the existing Zen conThis is set in the file admin>>includes>>configure.php.

So an error in there is kind of surprising. And certainly not what most users are seeing.

The first thing to do is find out for sure what that constant is set to. It sounds like you have enough php knowledge to insert the following lines somewhere in admin.

<?php
echo DIR_FS_ADMIN;
?>

( Just above the body tag in admin>>index.php will do the job )

Then see what that outputs to the page and let us know.

Yes, I do feel rather dumb...I had looked at that file previously, or so I thought...As it turns out, whenever I did the install of ZC 1.5, and renamed the folder via FTP as directed, it inserted the following into the configure.php file:

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/');

I did not know that it automatically updated that field, and all I was checking was the offline backup of the file that I thought had not changed. I downloaded that file, changed it to this:

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../') . '/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/');

then tried again with the install, and it worked without problem. How random. I finally found another post somewhere about that file being automatically changed to the same thing for something else, that's why I checked it and found mine had done the same thing.

Thanks!

Just glad it worked for you.
