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

[littlekid440]

i use facebook plugin to add "like" button on all my items
the problem is facebook grabs the actual image and not the image made by image handler with the watermark
anyone here know how I can set up facebook command
"<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $fb_image; ?>" />"
to grab image handlers image with watermark?

or what is the php code to use image handlers image?

This would save me so much time not having to put my tag on all my pictures...

You probably should post this question on the support thread for your Facebook plugin..

@Snaggle - check your image filename extensions - unlike Windows, your server probably sees .jpg and .JPG as two different things.

Ryk, If he is using image handler3,
All he needs to to do is (in admin) is

1) go to the category/product listing where that product is listed
2) select the category the product is in, click on it
3) find the product listing and click on the imagehandler icon on the same line as it
4) The page that comes up will have a listing of all images associated with that product, any images showing in red have an extension, that doesn't match the original image

5) as for jpeg, jpg, JPEG and JPG, If you upload the image via image handler it will adjust the extension to match the initial image, IT WILL ONLY DO THIS FOR IMAGES THAT ARE OF THE SAME TYPE OF IMAGE AS THE ORIGINAL,

so for instance

If the original has a jpeg extension and you upload (via IH3) an image with a .JPG extension that extension will be changed to .jpeg to match the original image

BUT
If the original has a jpeg extension and you upload (via IH3) an image with a .gif extension that extension will be left alone, and that image will be displayed in RED in the images listing

ALSO
If the original has a jpeg extension and you upload via ftp (as in not though IH3) an image with a .JPG extension that extension won't be touched, and that image will be displayed in RED in the images listing

OK, well that's an improvement on IH2 - I haven't had chance to play with it properly yet so I wasn't aware of that.

facebook plugin does not have a support thread it was a tutorial I found on facebook

if anyone here knows what command I can use to get the images generated by this mod I think I can play around with it until i figure out the rest...

and one more thing... would it be possible for image handler to not rename the pictures? I have it set to the name of the item so it ranks higher in search engine results

Ok, I had posted earlier last week about the Image Handler 3, I went through all my configurations, and changed my settings, but what I am still trying to do that will not work is make the images on the home page of my catalog (images in the main wrapper) become larger when I hover, not the new products on the left hand side. Those are the only ones that get larger when I hover.

Can someone please help me

Thank you so much!!!

Jessica as I posted a few days back, I can tell by looking at your site that you do not have all your image settings configured correctly for the image hover to work as it should in all place..

Please RE-REVIEW the section on the image hover in the IH3 readme.. The small settings (covered in the IH3 readme) must be configured correctly for the image hover to work in all the places it's supposed to work.. My guess is that if the hover works in one place but not another that you do not have ALL of your small image settings configured as prescribed in the readme.

After you re-review the readme, make sure ALL of the small image settings for your site are correct. (and BTW, just ONE page back in this support thread the same/similar question was asked, and the small image settings were in fact not correct..)

Not working for me IH 2 uninstalled 3 installed on a clean install of ZC up to date version.

having problems here, Winmerge doesnt work for me ( i hate learning new crap)

Fual Slimbox -Look for changes marked with the text "Image Handler changes" from the additional_images.php file that comes with Image Handler3. These modifications should be merged into the additional_images.php file that comes with Fual Slimbox.
(You will need to use a file merging program like Beyond Compare or Winmerge to incorporate the Image Handler3 changes

Why can't you make the additional_images.php for the 2 different ones so we can incorporate the one needed.

having the watermark on the image at FB would be nice but if you use the IH3 image then if you should ever need to clear the bmz_cache folder's cache then poof goes your image at FB

the one showing at FB is not very big and when they click it it goes to your store not the actual image so should be fairly safe

I did not realize that you were using the actual code from FB I thought you were using the mod...have you tried asking FB people about how to do it
