Image Handler 3 Support Thread (for ZC v1.3.9)

Hello - thank you for your super fast repsonse! much appreciated and yes the hosting space is linux based.

I don't actually run the site - I am just putting some upgrades in place, a wee lady runs it and I know I wouldn't be able to explain how file extensions names should work.

Re your suggestion : edit: Suggest you should run "ren .JPG .jpg" in dos command so that you earn time renaming all your files :) could I pick your brain a bit further on how to do this to ensure I pick up the correct folder ? I've only ever used dos command for very basic stuff like pinging!

Thank you very very much.

Hello

Sorry was being totally thick forgot I need to hold down shift on the folder to select the command prompt so it is only run on the contents of that directory!

Thanks you so much for your solution.

Thanks you so much for your solution.

You are welcome! Just try my suggestion with some of your file locally to see how fast and easy it works and then try for all your images so that when you are ready just start uploading

Fair Point

@Diva
Note that what is posted here is entirely different to what you have. Scale on demand rather than scale on upload. Still deciding As there is no real solution for IH on 1.5 at the moment this is just my quick fix for that problem.

I have some thoughts/opinions of my own on this point.. will see you on the new thread..

Why NOT?? Why do you need to tell her how file extensions work at all?? Just SIMPLY tell her that JPG is NOT the same and jpg.. I've explained this to PLENTY of so-called "non-technical" folks and they get it.. Make it REALLY easy.. tell your client that she can't use capital letters ANYWHERE in her files names or the site will break.. Clients don't need to know WHY this is.. that answer is probably too technical for them.. They just need to know this is how things work.. THAT is a concept that clients understand very easily..

For the record, Zencart handles the jpg, JPG, jpeg, JPEG extension fine they should all work and resize fine. the only reason they wouldn't work would be a server issue.

The only other time any sort of issue would occur is if you ftp up a jpeg as an additional image and its extension doesn't match the primary image.

eg
if the primary image was bob.jpg, and you ftped the image bob_2.JPG, the second image wouldn't show as an additional image because the extensions don't match.

if you uploaded the additional image via imagehandlers additional image upload facility, its extension would be changed to match the primary image

Nods in agreement..

And there you have it straight from the book of nigel..

You have another add-on that is conflicting with IH3.. Something called "Product Flash" or "Product Zoom"???? It's likely that this add-on modifies come of the same files as IH3, and you've overwritten IH3 code in installing this add-on.. This has caused the medium images to no longer display, and it causes and issue with the large image popup hanging as well..

As for the image quality, I can see clearly that the image quality for the small images is indeed very poor. However without seeing your medium and large images or knowing what your image settings are, I can't say for certain what the cause is.. I can tell you the LIKELY causes though.. If I had to guess, I'd say that the image you uploaded was of poor quality to begin with.

You cannot enlarge a smaller image and expect to maintain image quality. IH3 does NOT take small images and enlarge them into larger images.Enlarging small images to make them into large images is IMHO a poor practice as you don't want poor quality images on an e-commerce website. It simply looks unprofessional. However, if you want an add-on that includes this kind of functionality, you might want to give Image Manager a whirl.
