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

[DivaVocals]

I believe that Athena is using one of those little known/used features of IH3 I eluded in the IH2 thread.. You can upload a completely DIFFERENT large or medium image for the same product via the IH3 interface.. It is entirely possible that when using this function images are NOT in fact served from the IH cache folders..

ok, yes you upload the largest sized image only and IH3 takes care of resizing them all according to how you have your sizes set in images settings.

you can upload more than one image for your product -- like to show a different angle if needed, or color for instance -- just upload the additional images with the same name as the first but appending the _01 with consecutive numbers for each additional image then they will all show up on the product page.

You can upload all images to the main Images folder or sub folder them your own way in the main images folder.

If it is showing you the link from the bmz_cache folder then yes it is working as it should...those are the optimized ones that IH3 created to cut down on render time for the page.

I hope that is what you are asking.

Athena, I think it will help everyone participating in the discussion if you could provide an example of a product in your store where you are using different images for the small, medium, and large. I didn't have to patience to hunt one down myself..

Thanks for the above reply to the IH2 Support Thread. I have now installed IH3 and use 3 different images (small, medium, large) for each item.
