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

[MikeX]

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!
Mike

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.

The written word is being lost on me here. I'll try to simplify my explanation. I have more than one image uploaded to the site via IH for this product: http://legendsgallery.net/ecomm/cata...roducts_id=180

Yet, I see only one displayed and I only see the hover behavior from the general products listing page - not when I visit a single product page, which is where I would like to have multiple images displayed, with each having the hover behavior.

This way I don't need to define framing and matting attributes for every last product I put up here.

I'm trying to understand, so please be patient with me. Thanks in advance.

Installed Image Handler 2 to my 1.3.7 Zen Cart. Images seem to show up fine in my https://www.kaylala.com catalog but not in my http://www.kaylala.com catalog. As you may have guessed I have a split file system because of my host... home/secure_html and home/public_html.

Any thoughts?

Also I don't see the fancy hover effect.

thanks,
Graham

Hello,
When I Add Zoom feature to the images,the Horizontal menu hides behind the images.Any Solution.Please let me know.

Just a quick question that I couldn't determine from installing. When you upload an image using this, does it resize the picture, and make copies of each resize?

Or does it resize on the fly when generating pages?

And am I correct that you can use multiple large images by still following the zen cart naming structure? I'm hoping to use this in conjunction with the lightbox mod.

Thanks
