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

[DivaVocals]

It has been acknowledged and DISCUSSED TO DEATH in this support thread that that the autoinstaller may not work for a SMALL NUMBER of server configurations.. and in that case you will have to MANUALLY install it.. We have NO WAY to know if you are on one of those RARE hosting configurations or what your issue was since you did not post that you had any install warnings/messages when you posted here initially..

Glad you got it working but SERIOUSLY!!?? You want the admins to edit my post?? I stand by what I said because that's WHAT that particular error message means..

Thank you. It is now working, and the reason is that when I first installed IH4, I got install errors. I researched through the forum and found this answer which basically tells you to IGNORE THE INSTALL ERRORS BECAUSE "The 1st message says that it has all the files in the right place THEREFORE it does not need to create all the files it says it DID NOT create.." See below in blue text.

And it is thanks to your answer that after 5 days I finally found the answer in another part of the support thread which contradicted the "advice" given above in bold. I did what the person suggested in the other solution (see attached image to this post that gives the solution). and the problem was solved within 5 minutes of doing the exact process. The reason the hover/zoom was not working was because there were a number of files that had NOT BEEN TRANSFERRED USING THE AUTOINSTALLER - NOT BECAUSE "THE FILES WERE "IN THE RIGHT PLACE THEREFORE IT DOES NOT NEED TO CREATE ALL THE FILES IT SAYS IT DID NOT CREATE.

Thank you once again Yaritai. If any of the admins see this may I suggest the post giving the incorrect advice is modified so that at least, people searching for a solution (and it appears that there have been quite a few) have an alternative method of installation if the autoinstall does not work because of different server hosting settings/whatever.

Error The auto-loader YOURADMIN/includes/auto_loaders/config.image_handler.php has not been deleted. For Image Handler to work you must delete this file manually.
Success Image Handler has been successfully installed

The 1st message says that it has all the files in the right place THEREFORE it does not need to create all the files it says it DID NOT create.. Hopefully that's clear for you now..

The last message is very clear.. it tells you what to do and what file to do it to... Do you need further clarification on this message??

After this you are really gonna need to follow the guidelines on page 1 of this post to provide ALL the information we usually ask for to help you figure out the issues you are having..

Here in the image below was the solution for me and the text from NICCOL if you can't see the image: (Thanks Niccol)

Re: Image Handler 4 Support Thread

firstly. it is always a good idea not to post your admin directory name. just is a bit of a security issue. so if it is actually called xxxxadmin then do not post that on forums. if not then no worries.

secondly, your server is preventing the installer from deleting and replacing files. You will need to upload them manually.

so for example start with xxxxadmin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php

in the IH package you will find xxxxadmin/includes/modules/category_product_listing_IH4.php

strip the '_IH4' of the name so that it matches the correct name and upload it. ( back up the existing version first)

Do that for all the files you have listed.

Then manually delete the file that is xxxxadmin/includes/auto_loaders/config.image_handler.php
