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

[DivaVocals]

This issue has been raised several times, and not just by me, in this thread since 2007, and even your kind self has posted on this matter.

While a workaround of resizing the gif to the category image size has been suggested, I have yet to achieve this with my gif, which was supplied to me by a graphic artist long since vannished, and which appears to be locked against any amount of editing.

And here was my response that you reference.. The short answer is still no.. IH2 (or IH3) does not support animated GIFs. The reason why is in the threads I posted as reference 2/3 years ago..

Nope sorry.. Here's some posts which indicate why:

Some time back I reported that animated gifs (in my case used for category images) did not work with this mod. While a workaround was posted, I did not follow through with it.

Now that this mod is undergoing a revision, is there any chance that animated gifs will work?

TIA

An alternative solution to this problem may be to exclude this one image and its category from IH, however, I have really no idea how to do this.

Probably possible.. Would require LOTS of coding to achieve I'm sure.. It's outside the scope of my abilities, and I'm not sure there's an overall benefit to adding this to the codebase..

Thanks for that.. Sometimes it's discouraging sometimes around here when people mistake HELP for something else.. I don't understand that..

Apologies if your feathers were ruffled, but that was NOT the intent of my gift.

You don't say WHICH version of IH2 you are running, but if it's an older version, the answer probably lies in upgrading to either the most recent IH2 version or upgrading to IH3.

a link to your site would be a HUGE help (and a link to the specific product you are having the issue with)

Hi DivaVocals,
My apologize, my problem wasn't anything to do with IH2, it was a script problem in Zen Lightbox.
Thanks and sorry for wasting your time :)

Is IH2 good for flash site?

Suggest you figure out first which version you want to use versus posting redundant questions in BOTH support threads.. Though I dunno why you would want to install the OLD version as a new install..

Please post in the correct support thread..

Along with the new name there is a new support thread for Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x..
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=178972

Please post Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x related questions in the Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x support thread (not this thread).. This allows questions and answers for Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x to stay all together in the RIGHT support thread..
(you will be {gently} reminded should you "forget" this)

THIS thread should continue to serve as the place to address all Image Handler 2 for v1.3.x questions.. Please DON'T post Image Handler 2 for v1.3.x questions on the Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x support thread.
(though hopefully you will upgrade to Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x and join us on the Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x support thread )

[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]Thanks for understanding..[/FONT]
