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

[nigelt74]

This worked. I can now see all my pictures in admin and on the webstore. Thank you so mutch!

Did you copy the one from images accross?
the .htaccess file is a security measure to stop hackers uploading and running scripts, for some bizarre reason, very very occasionally (about 5 or 6 times during the time ih2 and ih3 have used used .htaccess files) this has happened, my guess (and it is a guess) is that its something to do with ownership of the folder and that php may be running as nobody or something.

Anyway its a server permissions/ownership problem, which is way above my understanding of servery things


ALSO all those files in the /cache folder are errors on your site, you need to look at them

[nigelt74]

Nigel, you say the .bmp's are not being handled by IH, is that why in the source it shows <img src="images/2.5x6.bmp" and for the .jpg it shows like you stated earlier "><img src="bmz_cachecc6a1bd6a8e4647b323b723816f16e890.image.100x78.jpg
.

Yep, if imagehandler is handling an image it will be coming from the bmz_cache, UNLESS...
a) the image is smaller than the dimensions specified within imagehandlers settings (then it will just pass the image through)
b) Invalid Imagetype (as in ones that aren't appropriate for the web), like a bmp

But, I uploaded the .bmp through handler? Thank you again for the help.

There are 2 parts too image handler the part that allows you to upload additional images, and the part that handles the images throughout the store.
You can upload pretty much anytype of image (I think), but image handler will only work on jpgs, gifs and pngs, as these are designed for the web.

I also can't find the post that had the solution in it, its not one I can advise you on as it is an odd setting on the server, and if I cannot replicate it, i can't work around it, if you look back in the entire ih2 and ih3 threads its happened 3 or 4 times in 5 years, but when we can't replicate the issue its virtually impossible to fix.

somewhere along the line the forward slashes are being removed.
most php operations stripslashes, add slashes, magicquotes etc operate on backslashes not forwardslashes

Well thank you Nigel for the help. I ended up just un installing it and everything is working fine. I really do not have the tech know how to find a fix myself. I will just do with IH3.

Hi I want to pick someones brains.
the products I sell are a base product then the base product with various additions like so:
40 watt solar panel
40 watt solar panel & stand
40 watt solar panel & stand & controller
and so on
the problem I'm getting is multiple images appearing in the first product of the line the solar panel on it's own. so how do I stop this though I think I already have the answer just need it confirming before I spend hours doing it
I asume I'll have to create an indaviual image file name for each componant used in the various variations
if so what is best way to name the files.
cheers
Peter

Check this tutorial on image naming

You can use IH3 to add additional images to your product(s) and IH3 will take care of the naming for you.

thats what I did but I ended up with images from the other componants in the line
like the 40 watt panel had images from the 40 watt panel and images of the stand and controller. would I be better putting the variation at the start of the file name heres what I have at the moment
40w.jpg
40ws.jpg
40wsc.jpg
if I named them so:
w40.jpg
ws40.jpg
wsc40.jpg
would that stop me getting multiple images in the product that is just the panel on it's own
cheers

w40.jpg would work but

ws40.jpg and wsc40.jpg would produce an additional image since wsc40.jpg contains the base image name (ws)

[discoverytdi]

w40.jpg would work but

ws40.jpg and wsc40.jpg would produce an additional image since wsc40.jpg contains the base image name (ws)

well I've sorted it
40w.jpg=for just the solar panel
402ws.jpg=for the solar panel & stand
401wsc.jpg=for the solar panel stand & controller
I should never have stopped using linux as my os I've got lazy using all this wyswg & auto install software
in fact might have a look wat's going in linux used to really like it as an os better than microshte

Not to be the detail police or anything, but NONE of this image naming discussion/issue is truly related to IH3 support.. This is standard Zen Cart image functionality.. Any further discussion on this topic should be posted on a new thread..

I tried to add additional image from IH3, selected large image, got following error message:

Error!

Unable to determine the page link!

Function used:

zen_href_link('', '', 'NONSSL')



Please help. Thanks!
