Here is a clear explanation of what I did - if this helps.

1. The latest version of IH2 revised by ckosloff BROKE the additional images function on the product info page. So... if someone added additional images to their products - and they also had that version of IH2 installed - the additional images DID NOT SHOW UP. EVERY site we have tried to install that updated IH2 on did the same thing and we have always had to uninstall and go back to the prior version to get this functionality.

2. So... as I stated in the description - I took the older version originally created by Tim Kroger - one version before the latest version - and changed one or two of the files that needed to be changed to work with 1.3.9

I have tons of clients that NEED those extra images to show up - and I am sure there are many out there that want to use additional images on their product pages - so that is why I renamed it a little to include that it supported the additional images.

I am NOT a coder and I definately am not trying to take "credit" for this mod - I am just trying to help people who need those additional images on their product page.

If this update is a problem with everyone - then I am happy to ask the developers of zen cart to remove it. But until such time that ckosloff (who updated the prior version) or someone else can get the additional images to work in his code and also upgrade it for 1.3.9 - I think it is a necessary addon - at least for the moment....

After comparing her version last night to Rev 7 of IH2 it seems clear that she should have submitted it as an UPDATE with a MUCH BETTER explanation of what she "did" in her submission notes.. Also her "version" implies that it fixes a problem that was never a problem (that I was a aware of) even with the new version of Zen Cart.

My point was I would not pay ANYONE to make this particular version (the Judy Gunderson version) of IH2 PHP 5.3 compatible since with the exception of a VERY MINOR change I do not see ANYTHING ELSE different in her version. (and since I'm not a coder, I will be asking a friend or two to help me interpret the code that Judy did add to IH2 to determine WHAT it is supposed to do)


Other than the hover on medium images (which has NEVER been coded into IH2 and which I imagine WOULD be a fairly complicated undertaking if compatibility with lightbox mods is to be maintained..) what features don't work???

I posted yesterday that I will be submitting a PHP 5.3 compatible version of the ORIGINAL IH2. The changes to make IH2 PHP 5.3 compatible are MINOR at best and do not warrant a major version number change.

I am of the opinion that updating the Judy Gunderson version with no real understanding of WHAT SHE CHANGED is not a good idea.. Which is why I PERSONALLY would not pay to fix THAT version..


Nothing.. I have paid for feature coding before, but my point was that I personally wouldn't spend ANY money on a version of IH2 which is VAGUELY documented, and as far as I can tell brings NOTHING new to the table.

She (Judy Gunderson) in essence took the Rev 7 version of IH2, add a LITTLE bit of code to it, made some VAGUE reference to some "broken" functionality (that has NEVER been broken or even reported broken), changed NONE of the supporting documentation, and then submitted it as a NEW mod (instead of an update to the existing mod) Now if YOU want to pay to have THAT version updated to make it PHP 5.3 compatible, knock yourself out.. I will submit Rev 8 (as an UPDATE to Rev 7) to the downloads section, and it won't cost me or anyone a dime to use it..
