Image Handler 5 (for v1.5.5 - v1.5.8) Support Thread

[g2ktcf]

A reason for a _MED or _LRG image is to actually provide a different image (perhaps a different perspective or content) based on what type of image is called on the catalog side. Now I may these days be wrong about the "folder" portion, but the concept remains the same that particular images are loaded for particular types of display, this plugin takes those pictures and compresses them to the desired resolution and to a filename that is reproducible to find.

I just downloaded version 5.1.11 and at least the observer uses whatever is defined as IMAGE_SUFFIX_MEDIUM and IMAGE_SUFFIX_LARGE which normally corresponds to _MED and _LRG suffix names.

The debug files I am getting right now are from my Fluorspar template files. But the memory allocation errors I was getting at one point were from IH. Food for thought. I just reprocessing and reloading all my images. Sucks but its got to be done.

Love Image Handler, thank you for the plugin :)
Fresh install of Zen cart 1.5.7c on php 7.4.21, and IH5.1.11, Colorbox.
I have a new site which I would like all my small and medium images to be clear, IH doesn't seem to do that?!
I've changed image compression quality to 100, still not the clarity I want.
My large images are great quality, before installing IH5, medium images were crisp clear, I know its because its loading large files which takes longer to load.
Please is there any other setting or php editing to allow the small and medium images to be clearer?
I already have them all set to 250 height and 0 width, for the small and medium images alike, such as front page product images and product info page as well.

What type of image is being used? I'll note, based on comments received in this support thread, that IH does the best with .jpg files.

Why are you setting the images to a 0 width?

[rlexyd]

Thank you for responding.
I use .jpg.
Also I set them to 0 as I read that several places and thought it might help.

Thanks for the pointer! I'll note that any image-compression, i.e. reducing the large images to their medium/small versions, is going to result in some form of clarity loss.

[rlexyd]

That is true, but I thought turning the compression quality to 100 would help fix that a fair bit.
I've done a batch resize of my images to 400 and made the product info page image, new product images and featured products images on the front page set to 250 in configuration and set IH resize to No.
It's slowing down the site for sure but the photos are way more clearer, wish there was a fix.

Using Chrome/Microsoft Edge/IE:

If you go to https://fuzztrip.com/lp-c-1/vesta-od...ear-p-139.html and click on the extra image it opens and resizes according to the settings I have in config-images- IH large images maximum width 750, IH large images maximum height 550, although it aligns left in Chrome. This image was already in place before installing IH5. The same is true with other images added before IH5 installation.

But if you go to https://fuzztrip.com/box-set-c-9/sul...nyl-p-241.html the images do not resize, but display at full size. These images were uploaded after IH5 installation.

Using Firefox:

The same images render as above, the first link resized to the proper dimensions, the second does not resize. But they also have the added issue of loading into a tiny box with scrollbars that has to be resized to view.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled IH5, each file one by one, but no luck. I have also deleted and re-created the product listing https://fuzztrip.com/box-set-c-9/sul...nyl-p-241.html in a different category but no change.

Thanks for any help!

When you installed IH-5, did you also include the changes in the /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE sub-directory for your clone of the responsive_classic template?

additional_images.php and main_product_image.php? I did and I just did again to be sure but no change.

Hey Fuzztrip, I like the social media share green button on your site :)
Did someone customize that for you or is it from some plugin on Zen Cart?
Thanks.
