See if these posts get you back on track..

Wouldn't it just be easier to at least consider what I have long suggested - that some clever person attempt to code an override to this error?

All other image handlers have done so long ago.

(Yes, I realise it may not easily happen - thank you volunteers - but it should at least be placed on the to do list, instead of being sneered at.)

Well folks it looks like we're on the home stretch..
Testing is almost done, and we may be ready to fire the trigger on this one this weekend.. (Please note updates to changelog below)

I am also going to inquire with the admins about starting a NEW IH2 support thread.. This one is a LOT long in the tooth, and I think it's time for a FRESH start.. (don't you agree??)

v2.7.4 Changelog

• Updated javascript file which addresses Internet Explorer 9 issue
• Modify filecase management to prevent issues with from uploading images with mismatched file extension case (main image is JPG, additional image is jpg) -- This change ensures that the additional images file extension will match the case of the main image (ie if main image extension is uppcase, additional images extensions will also be uppercase)
• Fix fancy quotes.
• Correct minor issue where image file paths would include an un-needed "/"
• Add an admin configurable option whereby shopowners can choose whether or not the large or medium image will display in the "on hover" image effect
• Revise module version numbering for (hopefully) the last time. Eliminating the "Rev" numbers fomat. The current version number is based on the number of releases from inception to current and what the version number SHOULD have been had a more conventional version numbering system been used for this and all prior releases
• Re-format and re-write readme file. Among the changes includes:
  
  • Better (and MORE) images
  • Full integration of Tim Kroeger's AWESOME original documentation
  
  

I am especially excited about the integration of Tim's original documentation into the IH2 readme.. I think that many of IH2s MOST COOL and MUST HAVE features are often forgotten in a sea of "image hover" an lightbox questions..

The inclusion of Tim's original documentation really provides a GOOD overview of IH2 and most importantly really demonstrates that this little app is SO MUCH MORE than a way to add cool image hovering effects..

Did you know for example:

• That one of IH2's default settings (yes the ones NO ONE ever REALLY looks at) will compress and optimize your product images for you?? No need to use Photoshop or other similar tools to compress your images to make them "web ready". IH2 will do all of this heavy lifting for you.
• That IH2 will convert your images for you from one filetype to another on the fly? For example you can upload a JPG file and specify that IH2 generate all product thumbnail images (small image) as GIFs, all medium product images as JPGs, and all large product images as PNGs. This saves you from have to create and convert all these different files. Simply upload your JPG source and IH2 will take care of the rest for you.

Files are being reviewed as we speak.. Once I get the thumbs up from my testers, I will submit to the downloads section..

Still haven't managed to get it working since Zencart 1.3.9e.

Despite the magnificent work by many helpers, including DivaVocals, it's not the quick easy solution it could (should?) be.

GREAT news!!! Looks like the testing and readme review are done, and done!!!

So after one last "just to be sure" run through I will bundle this up and submit this tomorrow or Saturday morning at the latest..


Stay tuned!

YAY, I know I am guilty about the little known facts...would have saved me a couple of headaches when converting files from png to jpg...lol

Thanks to you, the other coders and testers for kepping this mod going.

Did you see this post from 3 days ago?

It can take up to a couple of weeks from the time when a mod is submitted until it is approved and available for download.

When it becomes available, an announcement will be made, and links to both the download and it's new support thread will be provided.

Hey folks

Has been submitted to the downloads section.. (Please note the new name) When it is available, I will be creating a new support thread for Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x, and will post a link to this new support thread here.

I just wanted to pop in and tell you all, especially Diva and her people that I'm very happy that image handler is continuously being improved by you. I'm away from zen-cart and php in general for several years now but it's really great to know that IH still gets so much use. Now that the next version is coming along, I'm kind
of proud that the initial (and very simple) idea of the "on the fly image resizing and caching" mod seems to have had enough potential, that people from all around the world are using it. Even when I kind of abandoned it, it was picked up by other people to provide support and fix and improve the code. So that is a huge thank you from me to the zen-cart community in general and Diva and her people especially.

Cheers
Tim
