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

[DivaVocals]

I think everything is working perfectly now except the handling of pre-existing images. I have created and uploaded a few test products and they all work perfectly. It is only the pre-existing images and I must say, the site owner did a terrible job of maintaining their images so, wiping them out and starting over isn't such a bad idea.. Now with IH3, they have no excuse for poor image management

The template is one we bought from template monster. I had to set the permissions of the bmz_cache to 777 to get it to work properly. It still looks bad because the site owner has some pretty tiny medium images and it sometimes looks silly.

I think that now that IH3 is installed, I am going to recommend that they just delete all images and start over and only upload the large ones and let IH3 handle the rest. IH3 doesn't seem to handle the old images well.

Also, you said you clcked on view image and it didn't appear to be in the view image cache.. I suspect that is because you were viewing it while i was in the process of restoring the site from a backup and starting over.

Currently everything seems to be working except the ability for IH3 to handle previous images so killing all images and staring over seems to be the solution.

But this is EXACTLY what is suggested/recommmended in the IH3 readme.. IH3 does NOT enlarge images..

If the old images uploaded are NOT the largest image, then this is EXACTLY why you would be getting the result you describe.. To get the properly generated small and medium images, you must upload the largest image and let IH3 generate the small and medium images..
