Image Handler 2 (for ZC v1.3.8 ONLY) Support

[briansok]

This site is my Dad's and I am trying to make it as simple for him as possible.can he simply copy up a single large image and IH will automatically create the 3 resized images? If so where do I copy it to? The image field in the Category/Product screen? One of the 3 image fields in IH? If so which one?
Thanks

We cannot see that "This site" is.
And it's the best to go directly to the IH to upload images.
It will automatic resize if they are to big.
Of course depending on the settings in <configuration><images>

I have a page that has worked fine until this morning. This product Category page, is BLANK. It displays no products as of this morning. I am told it may be an Image Handler problem, maybe trying to load a large file. But, I don;t see any large (larger then 1MB, most are less then 100k, largest is about 125k).
Products are in Admin. Also, if I add a product, it does not display in this category. All other products displaying in other categories.

Also, how tdo I disable IH 2.0 just to see if it may be the culprit? I don't see a disable feature in the IH Manager. The problematic link is below. Any ideas MOST APPRECIATED.

In admin go to IH Manager and do the uninstall function. You can easily re-install by going back and clicking install. Try that to see if it helps - no guarantee, just a guess!

I see "Remove Image Handler from database". Is this same as Remove? I'm a bit shaky on removing this as the risk of removing/deleting all images I've installed via IH.

Backup, backup, always backup!

You could have a corrupt image.

Using the link "Remove Image Handler from database" doesn't delete anything.
All it does is unhook IH from the database.
After doing this click on the link "Clear Image Cache".
Double check by FTPing or using your host control panel and looking inside the bmz_cache folder. It is safe to delete all sud-folders/images in bmz_cache folder. (IH will create all folders/images on the fly when needed.)

After clearing/deleting the cache then click the link to "install Image Handler".

I have been using the normal zc image style. _MED & _LRG. I installed IH2 about 2 months ago and I love it. No more making diff sizes and dealing with all that headache.

Today I decided to shrink down my image dir to save server space. Downloaded my image dir, batched all large and medium to remove the _med and _lrg.

Moved all of the "used to be _med's" into my (local) images dir to overwrite the smaller ones and then again with the "used to be _lrg's".

Now I have one dir /images/ with all of my largest images there. So there isn't an images/large or images/medium now. Just /images/.

I uploaded the new images directory to the server and gave the old one a different name so it wouldn't be used but I still have the backup. Now it seems like it's working but. . .

Why do the medium and large images break when I go to admin --> images and remove the _LRG and _MED from where it says large image directory and medium image directory?

Shouldn't that work? Doesn't IH2 know what to do? Should I go to admin-->tools-->image handler2-->admin and clear the Image Cache?

If I'm just way off please explain how this transition should be made.

Thank you,
John

I'm really not sure what will happen when you uninstall this mod since you have used it to bring in new images. If you don't get a solid answer as soon as you would like, I would recommend a full DB backup and then uninstall it. If it totally breaks install your back up.

Let us know what you decide and what the outcome is please.

Have you tried this?
Shouldn't hurt if you hadn't yet.
