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

[MikeX]

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!

Have a look at this section of the documentation It features a partial screenshot of the manager page. The first row is the base image (various sizes), the second and third row are the additional images. If you click the add button (the one to the right which is cut off, so you can't actually see it), you are able to specify another additional image. You can delete the images, too or upload a different image instead of it.

Cheers,
Tim

edit: You can provide custom suffixes or have them automatically created. No need to rename your files prior to uploading them as additional images.

edit: As long as you don't want images with different content to show for medium and large images, you needn't worry about _MED and _LRG extensions.

If I have 'IH zoom small images' set to Yes - my whole site jumps and down.

Also - I have a product here http://www.jtsmotosports.com/zenshop...roducts_id=723

with 2 addditional images loaded. If you click on the 'larger image' link for those images - they display the large image for the primary product image not their own larger image.

Thanks

Maybe I missed this in a previous post but here it goes.

The problem is that the zoom effect doesn't work right. When you hover hover a small image the entire website shifts down the page and the image is displayed at the top instead of next to the cursor.

I upgraded to zencart 1.3.0.2 which had a previous version of the image handler already installed which might have been the 1.0 beta 2. I deleted the 2 old files from extra_functions to get the website to work.

I currently have the zoom turned off and everything else seems to work fine. There's something about the previous version of the image handler that is affecting the zoom effect and i haven't been able to track it down so far.

Ive tried to work this out by searching past posts with no luck.

I installed the new Zen Cart version on my server.
I then uploaded the 4 image handler folders.

Both admin and the store have gone blank. i.e. blank white pages.

Not sure what to do! I really want image handler on my site. Any ideas would be valued?

Thanks
