Image Handler 4 (for v1.5.x) Support Thread

Thanks Diva.

Was hoping to find the cause because it happened on the test site and the online shop, but will reinstall IH4.

Thanks Diva.

Was hoping to find the cause because it happened on the test site and the online shop, but will reinstall IH4.

Honestly this has been a periodic issue with IH going way back to v2.. IH on occasion "uninstalls" itself.. I've had it happen on occasion too.. Dunno why.. However, since it happens so infrequently and the "fix" is a relatively innocuous and harmless one (re-run the install), no one has ever investigated why this is..

Honestly this is a tough one to troubleshoot because I don't think anyone knows how to replicate it.. Speaking from my own experience I couldn't tell you how exactly it happened or if another mod I installed MIGHT have "knocked out" IH..

Hi Diva

Thanks again for replying. I did the reinstall in the test shop and it worked.
I then compared the two databases and found that the configuration_key IH_VERSION was missing from configuration.

I ran
INSERT INTO `configuration` (`configuration_id`, `configuration_title`, `configuration_key`, `configuration_value`, `configuration_description`, `configuration_group_id`, `sort_order`, `last_modified`, `date_added`, `use_function`, `set_function`) VALUES
(1455, 'IH version', 'IH_VERSION', '4.0', 'IH Version is stored but not shown on configuration menus', 0, 10000, '2012-06-01 12:04:15', '2012-06-01 12:04:15', NULL, NULL);
in the shop database, and Image Handler is now working.
I did ensure that 1455 was the next available configuration_id

Thanks once again for your time.

Interesting.. Perhaps another mod I installed "replaced" or removed the row from the configuration table?? Hmmmmmm.. Perhaps the same happened you you as well?? VERY interesting.. Well knowing WHAT happened is half the battle to a solution..

Hello,

Is there any way to set the zoom dimensions (for the hover on small image) different than the medium and large images dimensions?

Thanks!

Not without digging into the code..

ok! do you happen to know in which file(s) I should be looking at?

I do not off the top of my head..

Probably the class : bmz_image_handler.class.php
And the javascript : jscript_imagehover.js

Would be good places to start. However, you will need to be aware that the image needs to exist before the javascript calls it -- so using a different size of the zoom may turn out to be quite problematic.

I have installed Image Handler 4 with no problems from my end. However since installing I have had emails from my webhost like this: "The following files/folders and some of their sub directories can be overwritten by other users (permissions set to 777), this is considered unsafe and as others could change these files we recommend setting the permissions to 755 using the file manager in cPanel or an FTP program.
public_html/store/bmz_cache/b/ba81d6ef157adcd5a5973c5672beef91.image.99x100.jpg
public_html/store/bmz_cache/b/bba473373a7c31fe75bc4e9ff0134d74.image.100x100.jpg......."
All the folders are set to 755. However the actual images were set to 666 and I have since changed them to 644. The lastest email is due to a new set of products I added. So I have set them from 666 to 644 too.
Do I have to do this everytime I add a new product?
