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

[bloomingvine]

hi, I have just had to do a fresh install of zencart v1.3.9h and am working on getting the second site live before taking down the old site. I have zen light box working and image handler is working as well, but no main product image is displayed. I had zen light box and image handler 2 working together in harmony on the last site.

When you click on the text for the main image, zen light box pops up and shows you the image. however, image handler 3 may not be working right for main product image because the smaller main image is not displayed. there is no image for the main image,. The image file is there and uploaded..because zen lightbox is using it... but image handler isn't displaying the main image. Image handler 3 is working.. because all of the subsequent images are displayed properly. I was wondering if I have to merge parts of image handler 3 and zen light box on a file because they both affect the main image.

the rebuild shop is located at http://bloomingvinedesign.com/shop/

all products seem to be affected.

when you installed it did you activate it in tools/image handler 3?

Did you go to the configuration / images and set it there too?

Make sure you uploaded everything to the right spots and the file that is exactly the same for IH3 and Lightbox...keep the one from lightbox.

when going to your site and hovering over the small image---there is no hover

when you go to the main product image there is not supposed to be an IH3 effect to it but it is supposed to point to the bmz_cache folder, yours does not.

yes all files are where they are supposed to be and zen lightbox was installed second. i confirmed the shared file is from zen lightbox.


is there a setting to change to display main product image? It is installed in tools and seems to be active in admin images. The second images point to the bmz cache.. I believe. Just the main image is missing.

wellllll, this is what just happened to me. never had it happen before but this time...I went to admin/tools/IH2/admin and uninstalled IH2 so I could update this store to IH3

did the things as I should have done, to update to newer version. After all was done I went to install it and it did install...however...

when i hovered the image it was the huge size.

What I had to do was uninstall it again and cleared the cache for the images and actually clicked the link to look for older files...go to store and refresh the page -- several times -- then went back to admin and clicked the install link. Once I did that I tried the store again and it behaved.

so now that I wrote you an article try that...uninstall it, clear cache and have it look for old files then make sure it does not work at the store. go back ad install it again and clear cache for good measure and see if that works

All unnecessary.. To begin with the "Scan for old IH 0.x and 1.x original images" link would do ABSOLUTELY nothing for IH2 or IH3 installs.. It's a legacy piece of code left behind for the FEW folks out there running a REALLY REALLY old (original) version of Image Handler..

Best thing would have been to use your FTP tool is to delete the ENTIRE contents of the bmz_cache folder (except the .keep and .htaccess files) and let IH3 re-build the bmz_cache contents..

I tried installing today, on a windows server with php 5.3, and found that none of the images were being resized, ie the image urls were as normal, from the images directory. Also when viewing the large images on the product page, no images were displayed as it was pointing to the 'images/large' directory which is empty.

Also found that clearing the cache would not remove anything from the BMZ_Cache folder at all even though it said it completed successfully at the top. Permissions were temporarily set to everyone/full control and the .htaccess file removed to test...
Images were being generated in the BMZ cache folder, and also visible in the admin page under the image handler 3 section but not resized when viewing the store.
No errors were being generated on the pages or in the cache folder

Any ideas on what i should be looking at to work out why the image urls were not being changed, and why the cache would not clear.
Its a clean 1.3.9h install, with a purchased template (template 448)

LINK is always helpful

did you make sure you uploaded all to the right places

have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling by going to server and uploading each and every file all over again.

are the image setting correct---post those too please
