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

[koenvandamme]

What size is the large images that you upload?
What is the large image size setting here: Admin-->config-->Images?

If you have large images set at 500x500 and you upload a 500x500 image IH will not process that image and so no watermark.

I have created a watermark_LRG.png and uploaded it to /images/large. Only small images display a watermark. When I copy an image from /images to images/large and add suffx _LRG to it, then it does show the watermark when large.

These are my settings:

So your uploaded images is bigger then 750 x 550?

Check a couple of images and the large images are only 325 x 325.
Your uploaded images needs to bigger then 750 x 550 or you need to change
IH large image maximum width 750
IH large image maximum height 550
to
IH large image maximum width 315
IH large image maximum height 315

Hi everyone,

I noticed that many of you had the same problem I did with not being able to get the large watermarks to show up.

This was my problem:

1. All watermarks showed up except the large pop up images, with the EXCEPTION of the additional images popups. They worked fine.

2. I changed the size of the original image I uploaded into IH Handler to be much larger than my Large Image settings under Config-Images, to make sure IH was handling them.

3. The large popups were not being handled by IH, because, in addition to the large watermark not showing up, it didn't resize the image to my large image settings.

4. I made sure all my settings were correct and cleared the cache, etc. None of these worked.

My Solution:

I uploaded my regular default image in IH Manager, then loaded the same image to the optional large folder in IH Manager as well. This fixed the problem. It was able to recognize and adjust the size as well as add the watermark. Apparently, in my case, adding only a default image for all three sizes didn't work correctly.

I hope this helps someone! Good luck . . .

Is there an easy way to change the text for the watermark without having to use an editor.

How do I disallow clicking on the additional images from opening a larger image in another window?
As in I dont want people to click on the image and open an enlarged image

Is this a Javascript thing? cos i cant find the function anywhere

Nope you need to create your own image

I tried it but still no watermarks on the large images. I think IH isn't handling the size of my images. When I click on "show large picture" the original size of the picture is being displayed.

I am having issues with IH2 working on a new site I have in development. What is maddening is that I have it working fine on another site (on the same server). I have checked and I think I have all the files in the right location with the right permissions. I see all the IH2 menus and functions in my admin BUT IH2 doesn't seem to be active on the site.

I cleared out the bmz_cache, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. No luck. IH2 does not appear to be writing to the bmz_cache directory.

My site in dev is http://redspet.com/index.php

You can see if you click on a main product image it gives you a broken link--- like IH doesn't know to put the files in bmz_cache nor look there for them.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

I just noticed that the large watermark does show up on the large images in the IH2 tool, yet on my site it only displays a watermark on the small images.

Suddenly the images doesn't resize anymore. When I clear the cache, the directory bmz_cache will be cleared normally.

And when I go to the shopfront the folders 1234567abc..etc will be created, but there will no images created in those directory.

So the images of productlisting and productdetails are scaled from normal large size.

So that makes a lot of traffic. What does go wrong? Earlier it did work.
