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

[simon1066]

@simon1066, are you using any of the URL manglers (e.g. USU or Ceon URI Mappings). There might be a relatively easy to accomplish what you're looking to do if you're not.

Yes @lat9, Ceon URI Mapping

Edit: just reread

ZC v1.5.8

The background colour of small images is set, in IH5, by specifying SMALL_IMAGE_BACKGROUND in Admin. I use this feature and it works well for my Product Listing pages but I would like to set a different background colour for those small images that appear on the product_info pages, namely additional images.

How would I go about setting this up for additional images? An acceptable, and possibly easier, alternative would be to set a different background color for ALL images on the product_info page.

Edit: should not have replied to 'Re: Hover image alignment' post

Give the number of additional images I have, it's not a huge issue if this going to prove too onerous. I can edit/prepare the images in advance - just wanted to avoid doing so.

You could use a site-specific init_includes module (you'll need to add an auto_loader, too) that loads somewhere around CP 200 that makes the change to $ihConf (it's a global variable) as you'd identified a couple of posts back.

load_imageGD() - I wonder if rather than assuming the extension was correct if it would make sense (perhaps optionally) to do a getimagesize.
I see cases where images have a .gif extension but they're actually JPGs.

--> PHP Warning: imagecreatefromgif(): '/home/client/public_html/images/folder/l_699-902-016_2.gif' is not a valid GIF file in /home/client/public_html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 939.

I've seen those logs before, too. Rather than slow the image-processing down for everybody, I've told the site's back-office staff to fix the image.

These are drop shipper supplied images; there's really no hope of getting them fixed in this case. That's why I suggested a switchable (disabled by default; optionally enabled) feature to be more robust in the case of invalid images.

I'll entertain a PR for this, but it feels like a one-off type issue.

Is anyone else running into this?

I have sent a pr.

If this is good, may be a way to allow WebP images as well.

Sounds good; I'll note that I've just discovered (i.e. actually searched the documentation) that PHP does have support for webp images, so that's another possibility that's been requested before.

Just sent pr to make work with webp
