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

[prellis]

I downloaded the IH2 with a few promblems but was able to go back through and fix them (I had a previous version installed)...

I have been able to add photos (super quick thank you)...However, I haven't figured out how to add additional images. If I add them like I do the base images, it renames them correctly base_01....but they aren't showing up ???? I searched but couldn't find an answer via the forum or your site....

thank you

Thanks anyways, I found the answer in the old thread. I pasted it here so anyone who has the same problem, could be helped.

"You seem to have an old Image Handler 1.x installation before installing IH2. You need to delete the old includes/functions/extra_functions/functions_images.php and admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/functions_images.php."

I had the old release of Image handler (I didnt even know that). So I just deleted the files indicated above and everything is perfect now.

Why did I open my mouth? Lol!

Problem here:

Images in my site have dissapeared! In my homepage, they are gone, they just appear if I enter a category and not all of them. In the products info pages, I have lost my images too.

In the admin, Im receiving this error when I enter to Catalog/ Categories / Products/ Product:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_calculate_image_size() in /admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php on line 474

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

I'm sorry there is no easier way to update from an old image handler installation to the new one. Some files are not needed anymore and since the resizing went from admin side to the catalog side (on page request), some files in the admin section need to be replaced by their stock zen-cart equivalents.

The most generic way to update from a previous image handler installation would be as follows (I suppose):

Have a look at the old image handler zip. If you don't have it anymore, you should be able to retrieve the latest of the old 1.x releases on the breakmyzencart attic page. Replace every file on your server which matches the ones found inside the zip with it's stock zen-cart version. If there are no stock equivalents, delete them. (Pretty much a deinstallation). You shouldn't need to replace your template files as some functions have been added for backwards compatibility. Then go ahead and install the IH2 release.

I know, this is quite tedious and you might not need to replace all the files but as I said there is no easy way and I just can't know every possible problem that might surface since the possibilities of customizations are many. So apply the steps above with caution and backup your system before you start!

@Scott:There is just one additional icon which image handler needs, the other icons are modified to provide a more consistent look. All other binaries are needed. You can safely skip the duplicate icons and you can safely overwrite those icons, it's your choice. You should check your php files though, if they are already on your server. Image Handler 2 won't work if you miss a file provided in the zip, so you need to either overwrite or merge the matching php files. You can't just upload a part of it.

Kind regards,
Tim

I'm a dope. Forgot to ask a followup question. With IH for v1.3, I can display multiple images for each product and have each have hover enlargement behavior?

(I need 4 per product in most cases) It's a sports memorabilia frameshop and the client wants the frame and matting choices (4 per product) to have a hover effect. This is doable?

You can have as many additional images as you want. It is just like stock Zen Cart with server side resizing and a convenient interface to add the additional images.

Thanks for being johnny on the spot with the replies. Yeah, I haven't gotten my head around how this stock multi-image thing works, but it appears I need to name them with the same suffix and put them in respctive folders named, med and lrg. This is my guess anyhow. Hopefully, your UI is money in this area and helps this grasshopper find his way. DANKE!

I updated my store from 1.3.9 to 1.5.0 and IH2 is not showing in admin section where it is working fine in front end. Please help how i upgrade it with zencart 1.5.0 compatible.

Please look at my site www.musicplace.com.au/catalogue

Can anyone enlighten me as to why the no_picture.gif will not show on the index page but it does show on the product page?

I have my no_picture.gif in the root of the image directory.

Just refresh your screen until you find a product without an image. I have left the image field blank for products without an image and have set up IH2 correctly...I think.

Thanks, Rob

I am having the same issue.

I sell lingerie and need to display different photos for the verious colours of my products.

I want this to display on the more information page of my products.

I had it working without this add on, but now I can't work out how to get the additional images to show up.

Can anyone help on this issue. It's a big one for me.

Pleeeeeease!!!!

Much thanks in advance.
