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

[motoelectro]

i just started trying to use zen cart. i would love to add the image handler 2, but i dont know much about how to do all this.

i copied the files over to the server with cyberduck

i think i have way to many files all mixed up.

i don't really know where to put the files? i dont have a zen cart folder. i think i renamed it.

anyway the image handler 2 option does not appear in the tools menu in my admin area.

does any of this make sense?

thanks

Not for nothing, but there is a VERY extensive readme which covers how to install IH2.. Have you read the IH2 readme file??

I suggest starting by undoing whatever it is that you have done, and then following the installation instructions in the readme file to install IH2.

Yesterday I was doing some tests and I detected two problems related with IH, so I post them hoping developer that could consider in newest versions.

- The problem with images was because of big files uploading. Generally I don't take much care about of the size of the file, but yesterday I noticed that conflictive products has images > 1Mb so I tried to delete them and upload after resizing to 900x400, and I got working! I can't explain why big files was working on shared hosting and does not on a dedicated one, but I uploaded smaller images and that finally fixed my problem.

It sounds to me as if the issue you had is more likely related to a server setting that is different in your shared host versus your dedicated host..

IH2 already is written to cover the most common server setups, and without knowing SPECIFICALLY what issue in your server setting was causing the issue it would be hard to nail down what changes to "consider" may (or may not) be needed.. Also as the issues you reported appear to be one off issue (not previously reported), unless others report similar issues, I'm not sure what could have been done/considered in any future release to mitigate your issue..

Lastly with regards to your image sizes, re-sizing them sounds like a good idea as a matter of practice since your images are far larger than what is generally recommended for websites anyway.. 1mb is a pretty BIG image size to use on ANY website, and in practice this would not lend itself to an optimized webpage. (which is PRECISELY what IH2 is meant to help improve)

Overview

Image Handler2 at the heart of it's code is really meant to ease the management of product images (particularly the management of additional product images), and to help improve page performance by optimizing the product images.

Features

• Improve site performance (faster loading, faster display).
• Uploading one image automatically creates small, medium and large images on page request.

- On the other hand I detected a conflict with ceon uri maps plugin (I detected since upgrade to zc 1.3.9g, don't know if bug exist in previous versions) that makes the cart don't working. This happens when installing/reinstalling IH after the ceon uri maps plugin, if you try to add products to cart it shows a message "Cart emtpy". I simply downloaded again the ceon uri maps plugin and reuploaded the core files for my zen-cart version. And it worked! I had the same trouble twice and I can confirm that doing that way I solved my prolem.

Aside from the fact that issues with another module SHOULD be reported in the proper support thread for that module, your specific issue with Ceon URI has LITTLE to do with IH2.. These two mods share NO common files, and there isn't any reason other than just sheer coincidence that you would have issues with one or the other after an install.. Plainly put, there IS NO conflict between these two mods. (you can confirm with Conor in the Ceon URI support thread if you need more information).

ok, i will try taking eveything off again. i did read the instructions quite a few times and tryed uploading the folders to couple different places. i just signed up recently and i'm using host monster. is there anything i might be missing? i feel like i just missed something completly obvious. but i can seem to see it?

Follow the instructions in the readme and upload the files as directed.. I don't know what you are missing unless you do not understand the instructions.. If any part of it is not clear it would help to know WHAT isn't clear for you..

Install the contents of the Store_Root folder, guess where? in your store root, where index.php is.

Contents = The files and folders INSIDE the Store_Root folder

If you are uploading the Store_Root folder to your store root, then this might be why it doesn't seem to work..

Again.. I don't know what you've done (because I can't see your store files) so you will have to provide some details on WHAT you did, so it can be determined HOW to fix it..

I'm having an issue with the additional images i added through Image Handler 2 not showing. It does show some of the additional images, but is limiting the display of them. The case in point is below
http://bobbyfresh.com/shop/index.php...products_id=90

There 20 additional images that need to be displayed. Is there a limit on how many can be displayed on a a single product page. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance

To my knowledge, IH2 does impose any limits on the number of additional images allowed. As far as I know there are no limits that Zen Cart imposes on this either.. It sounds as if one of two things is happening:

• IH2 is installed incorrectly
• Another module which modifies the same files used in IH2 may be causing an issue for you..

Do you have any idea of what plugins that would modify the same files that IH2. The only thing that i have the i can think of is the Zen Lightbox addon. Its weird because when i view the page using Firebug, it shows that images are being displayed in code, ,what it seems to me is that the area where additional images are displayed is cutting off the additional images. do you know where that can be changed.

Over a 1000 add-ons available here.. of those 1000+ add-ons, I can only speak of the ones I have ACTUALLY used.. All that to say I can't really answer this.. YOU can tell us what mods you have made versus me trying to GUESS "what cha got"..

There's a WHOLE host of things it could be.. You have a number of javascripts and other mods on your site and ANY one of them could be leading to the conflict.. Unfortunately if it is one of your other scripts causing the issue I'm not sure I will be able to help you resolve the specific issue it may be causing.. I can make suggestions to turn things on or off to see if the behavior you describe changes to narrow down the culprit..

In fact there is a javascript error on the page link you provided.
