What at the image file names you're using?

Wow,I never thought about it, but I'm always using pretty much the same file names, since they were in different folders I didn't think it'd mattered.. I will try that, thank you so much !!

You need to post in the IH3 support thread. This thread is for IH2.

It matters so much that there's a detailed tutorial for image file naming in the IH3 Read_Me. Even though you are running IH2, the file naming protocol is the same.

Recommend that you download the IH3 installation package, launch the Read_Me file, and take a look at the Troubleshooting tab under the section called "Prepare Your Site for Growth".

Ok Corrected version - sorry was having issues with browser caching


This isn't an image handler thing, it is to do with Zencarts support for accessibility

But any way, it appears IE8 supports the alt tag correctly (a mod couldn't dlete my last to posts please), by not showing an image hover.

Find your \includes\functions\html_output.php file make a backup of the file

around line 197

// alt is added to the img tag even if it is null to prevent browsers from outputting
// the image filename as default
    $image = '<img src="' . zen_output_string($src) . '" alt="' . zen_output_string($alt) . '"';

    if (zen_not_null($alt)) {
      $image .= ' title=" ' . zen_output_string($alt) . ' "';
    }

and replace it with this

// alt is added to the img tag even if it is null to prevent browsers from outputting
// the image filename as default
    $image = '<img src="' . zen_output_string($src) . '" alt="' . zen_output_string($alt) . '"';

    if (zen_not_null($alt)) {
      $image .= ' title=""';
    }

The above should work in all browsers except IE6, and it doesn't really effect the accessibility because the alt tag is still in place

Please can you tell me if this is still the best way to fix this problem?
I am using ZC version 1.3.9h and Image Handler 2, also since yesterday have installed Categories Dressing.
Im sure the problem wasnt there yesterday but today I have the alt tag coming right over the image on hover which looks awful.
Hover over these images and you will see the problem.

Hey everyone,

This is my first time posting. I haven't been able to pinpoint any specific threads with my question. Please help me out if you can.

Zencart 1.3.9h

I installed the zen light box addon 1.6.2 and it was working fine on my site. After which I installed IH2 and now it's running correctly but for some reason it stopped the lightbox from working.

I need the onclick of additional images to run through the lightbox. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi There

Is there any particular reason you're using IH2 instead of IH3?

IH3 was built specifically for Zencart 1.3.9 and includes significant changes and upgrades.

Having said that, the answer to your question applies to both IH2 and IH3, and can be found in the "Misc" tab of the IH3 Read_Me documentation (but not in the Read_Me for the earlier IH2 version). The answer can also be found on this thread by searching the keywords "Zen Lightbox" or "ZLB".

The short answer to your question is that IH and ZLB share a common file. When you install both IH and ZLB, you must do one of two things. Either:

Install IH 1st and ZLB 2nd
or
If you installed IH 2nd, then you must overwrite the shared file using the one from the ZLB download pack.

This is because all of the necessary IH code is already included in the ZLB version of the shared/common file, but the necessary ZLB code is not included in the IH version of the shared/common file. (So if you install IH after you install ZLB, the IH version of the shared/common file overwrites all the ZLB code and ZLB won't work).

The shared/common file I refer to is: includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php. Simply take this file from the ZLB download pack and upload it to your server. When asked if you want to overwrite the existing file, say "yes".


Note: Even if you decide to upgrade from IH2 to IH3 (which is strongly recommended), you'll need to follow the solution mentioned above since ZLB was installed 1st.

Good luck and happy Zenning

Hello,
Please, please, please help me!!.
I attempted to download IH yesterday to my zencart without success so then went and deleted all the effected files and re-installed the original ones which I had backed up. Everything was working as normal again until I 'accidently' overwrote my index.php file in my public html and now I am unable to access my admin.
I've downloaded an index.php file from a new zencart but it is still not working because I've no idea how to link it to my site.

I'm not technical minded at all, hence my stupid mistake and problem!.....
SQL language is double-dutch to me so if there is anyone that could advise me where I need to make amendments I would truly appreciate it and hopefully that will fix my mistake?!?
My Site Name is: LynKan.com
The only changes I've made to the zencart is the template - I changed it to pinkywinky.

If this doesn't work, is my only other option to start from scratch again with a new zencart?
If I then upload the files I had backed up (images, includes, cache & admin) would it all be working properly again??

Sorry for babbling on......
I look forward to any guidance to help me out.
Thanks
