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

[ScriptJunkie]

Image Handler 4 may only be used with Zen Cart v1.5.0. If you are using any prior version Zen Cart, then you may not use IH4.

Zen Cart v1.3.8 = Image Handler2 ONLY (this version of Zen Cart is very unsecure and should be updated immediately!!!!)
Zen Cart v1.3.9a-h = Image Handler3 ONLY (this version of Zen Cart is stable. IH3 was built specifically for ZC139
Zen Cart v1.5.0 = Image Handler4 ONLY (this version of IH is not backwards compatible with earlier versions of ZC)

No, you do not upload the readme folder and files.

Hi
I got image handler 4. There seems to be an extra 2 folder in there which isnt in the installation folder it tells you to upload.
These extra 2 folders are actually in the readme folder. Im assuming i dont upload the readme folder?

It said to read EVERYTHING in the threads but its like 700 pages and i dont have a spare week so forgive me for asking!

My version of the IH4 readme has no links to the IH2 support thread (this thread), so I'm not sure what you're seeing when you say the readme directs you to this thread.

The IH support thread is here: IH4 Support thread

All of the files and sub-folders in the README folder are there to make the README document render in your browswer (it is a web based document). You do not upload this folder and it's files and sub-folders into your ZC installation because they are not necessary for IH4 to function.

Im confused

IN the readme for IH4 it says to come to THIS thread. But i just read back it says this is thread for Image Handler 2 only. So where is Image handler 4 thread? Also why is there some image and include folders in the README folder that is not meant to be uploaded?

Clearly you have misread that section of the readme.. Re-read that entire section again.. It says come to this thread ONLY for ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.. It points to TWO very specific posts in this thread.. NO WHERE does it say this is the support thread for IH4..

From the readme section in question

Here's some additional FAQs which discuss how product images and the override system work in Zen Cart. It is strongly suggested that if you are NEW to Zen Cart and web development that you read these threads BEFORE you install Image Handler⁴. http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=6205

Simple.. so that the readme file works.. NO WHERE in the installation instructions are ANY of the files in the readme referred to because they are NOT part of the installation files..

I've installed IH4 on my clean 1.5.0 installation and I don't know whether it's my mistake or the software simply not working but I'm fed up with trying to get it to work.

The first install, I didn't have the IH options in my Configuration panel. They just weren't there. It didn't create any resized images either. (Yes, it was set to resize images in the settings.) The Tools->IH4 menu did show up, though.

Uninstalled and installed again and now this scenario played out: the small thumbnails on the category overview showed from the bmz_cache (as I expected). The hover effect showed the same small image (quite useless in that case) - the product page showed the original image that I uploaded (no change) and it linked to a 404 xxx_LRG.jpg file that didn't exist. (Folders were chmodded to 777)

For a product that says it works out of the box, I'm not exactly diggin it.

Did you check under tools>IH_4 ? That's where mine was, plus the icon next to products

It did as I mentioned - the IH4 settings did show up on the 2nd install.

Forgive me as I missed that section - old eyes can't see everything.

It does.. and if it doesn't, then it helps if you provide the information we suggest ALL THE TIME that you include in your post..

It also helps if you post this in the correct support thread..

I am experiencing a strange situation with IH2.

After choosing the category/sub-cat from the drop down box under Manager page, IH2 goes back to the Admin page? Also it is showing "* Product is disabled* for 2 sub-cats that I just added products to - so they are not "disabled."

A bit confused as to why IH2 is going back to the Admin page and why is it saying these 2 sub-cats have disabled products?

Any solution to this. Most of my categories are showing as "product disable" in IH2 ?
