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

[dbltoe]

You may not be happy with the news, but you need to now post in the thread for IH3 if you have a problem with it.

Would be nice if the IH2

documentation pages mentioned that there was an IH3. I had no clue IH2 had been replaced.

The site moderators will not let me update IH2 JUST to say there is an IH3.. (dbltoe is right it's not a standard practice to do this anyway)

In SEVERAL places in THIS support thread I personally have posted more than a few notices about the IH3 release and the fact that there is a new support thread for IH3.. (if you look at the posts on the previous page JUST above your original post you'll see posts where I do this again..) Not sure what more there is I could have done to get the word out..

Secondly. There is nothing in the IH3 docs that I can find that talks about how to upgrade from IH2 to IH3, nor methods to uninstall IH2.

The only way I see to guarantee this will work is to start over with a virgin zencart install which is not an option.

Did I miss something in the docs somewhere?

I assume by your subsequent posts here and on the IH3 support thread that you re-read the readme which does have detailed upgrade instructions which do indeed include IH2 UNINSTALL instructions..

Reminder: This is the Image Handler 2 (TWO) support thread.. This NOT the correct support thread for Image Handler 3 questions..

As folks don't seem keen to search the forum before posting questions, it seems like I need to re-post a "gentle" reminder regarding Image handler 3..

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

[FONT=Tahoma]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.. [/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma](you will be {gently} reminded should you "forget" this)[/FONT]

[FONT=Tahoma]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.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma](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]

[FONT=Tahoma]Anyway.. carry on.. Enjoy the new version..[/FONT]

Hi..I posted before but was told it was for IH3 which I'm not trying to use as I have 1.3.8a, so I'm trying to use IH2, so hopefully I'm supposed to repost here

I have installed 3 times, different ways, deleted "everything" to see if it was something I did...but I still can't see any choices under admin/images/ ..there are no IH choices at the bottom. I can't find an answer to that and I'm sure there is an easy answer.
I've renamed things as told to in the read me file...
what could be wrong?

someone suggested corrupted files, but it would be the first time and I did download from the zencart addons. It seems like something isn't working on the admin side...but what do I know??/

OK, that make more sense (you did state in the other thread you were using 1.3.9a not 1.3.8a)

What options are appearing when you go to

admin --> tools --> Image Handler --> click on the admin link here

what options are showing?

first you should think real hard about upgrading to 1.3.9h, it is far more secure and so far has not been hacked like many I have been fixing and upgrading due to hackers---some of the hosts even shut down the stores access to cpanel and server files because of it.

when you installed it did you go to admin/tools/IH2 and turn it on by clicking to install it there--first

then the images controls should show up in the images part of admin

I'm a bit afraid to upgrade...some file will go missing and I'll search for months for it or something...I'll consider...
Yes I installed it through tools...it was there, but nothing shows up in the admin/configure/images....

sorry for posting on Image handler 3 by mistake...

I've attached 2 screen shots to show what my admin looks like..

I've looked at this with fresh eyes this morning and it still baffles me...can anyone attempt to help??
I've deleted everything and put it back in as well a couple of times...
