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

[stxmona]

With IH you only need to upload "1" image, the largest image you want to display. IH will create the medium and the small image from this image based on the settings you have in Admin-->Configuration-->Images. (to see what settings, search this thread for my name, about 4-6 pages back)
You don't have to add _s, _L or _M to any image.
You don't use the medium/large folders.
You can put all the images in the image folder or you can have sud-folders (ie.. images/benartex).

You do need to follow the correct image name scheme.

My images are correctly named as far as I can see (ie 321244_L.jpg etc) no spaces or odd symbols.

I did notice that even though I reloaded my inventory (to test) via EZ populate - the images do not show up with the bmz_cache in the path. The ones I put in via the tool area have that in the path.

Once again thanks for your help!!

Settings look fine if you don't want to use the Hover/Zoom/popup on features like Product Listing page, New Products Listing, Featured Products.
If you want to have the Hover/Zoom/Popup then see this:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=2981

Also, look at your site and your are missing at least 1 IH file.
Double check to see that you unloaded all the IH files.

You don't want the bmz-cache folder path as all the images in that folder are created on the fly. You can safely delete all the contents of the bmz_cache folder anytime and IH will create the files when needed. The files will have new names each time.

Do you have any suggestions for me tophand? I've even tried reloading and uploading the files and I'm at the same place.....

[stxmona]

thanks again for the quick answer.

I am chosing to NOT use the hover at this time - only the slimbox.

You are correct about the IH file not being loaded. I didn't upload the "shopad" file to the site cuz it wasn't on the list of files that needed to be uploaded. Then I read again about the custom template file and uploaded that to my template file as well.
Question should the tpl_main_page remain in the folder popup_images_additional or somewhere else in the custom template area?

I went through the files - file by file - in my FTP program to compare and they all seem to be there.

None of these seem to work.........I still do not have the medium/product info images.

TIA

What version of IH?
Have you double/triple check that you uploaded "all" the IH files and they are in the correct folders?
Have you compare them to be sure they are at the correct file size?
FTP programs sometime will fail to upload the entire file yet will report it was successful.

[MamaT]

Thank you. I'm going through and double checking everything as I read and respond here.

What version of IH?

Image Handler 2 for 1.3.x

Have you double/triple check that you uploaded "all" the IH files and they are in the correct folders?

Following this link (http://breakmyzencart.com/ih-doc?Dok...602c15e69f815e), I have put the four following folders into my zencart folder, which is under my public_html: admin - bmz_cache - images - includes.

Have you compare them to be sure they are at the correct file size?

By this do you mean the images and bmz numbers? If so, yes I did, just did it again, they are both 755.

FTP programs sometime will fail to upload the entire file yet will report it was successful.

I just went to my control panel and looked there. All of the folders are showing, they are all 4KB, and the "perms" are all 0755. Yet I go to my admin/tools and there is nothing about IH showing up there.

Shopad folder is extra stuff that the last person failed to remove before packaging & unloading this version of IH.
What I see missing is a css file.

In your IH admin, click the link to remove IH from the database. Don't worry you are not deleting anything.
Next Clear the image cache. You can do from IH admin or FTP or your website control panel. If you do 1 of the last 2 options you want to delete all the sub-folders from the bmz-cache folder. That done go back to IH admin click the Install IH link.

I'm still searching looking for answers here. I found this thread:http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83680

If I somehow wrote over those files, would it result in the problem that I'm having now, and if so, how would I remedy it?

If not....I'm still at square one

Ok Tophand - follow the instructions - both ways.
Removed IH
Delete Image cache
this done from Admin/Tools/IH
the sub folders in the bmz_cache were still there so I remove them (via Ispwitch WS-FTP)

Went back to Admin/Tools/IH and reinstalled IH

Still no medium pictures

I did it twice ;o) and still no medium/product info pictures.

Which css file am I missing and where does it go? Can I manually put it in place via FTP?

TIA

I pick out two of your products.
Both are missing the medium image so it look like the file path is not correct or the image itself is missing.
This may have something to do with Slimbox mod.

Pick one of your products, delete the image.
Go to IH manager and from the drop down box select the product and from the "Default image File" Browse upload a new image (your large image).
See what happens.
