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

[DivaVocals]

Which is the reason to use Image Handler and is explained in the readme..

IH2 takes your original images and makes optimized and resized copies of them and stores them in the bmz_cache folder. It leaves your original images untouched.

So, if you delete image copies from the bmz_cache folder, or clear the folder altogether, nothing happens to your original images. However, next time the page is loaded, copies of the images will be once again placed in the bmz_cache folder.

Every time that page is loaded in the future, those image copies are served up from the bmz_cache folder, ensuring that your pages load faster (because the image copies are optimized and resized according to the IH2 configuration settings you specified when you installed IH2).

Suggest you download the IH3 installation package (it has a better READ_ME file) and read the first tab of the READ_ME...which explains what IH is and what it does. This might help you have a better understanding.

Good luck and happy Zenning

Hi guys, I'm facing a very strange problem:
1. I'm using windows2k3 system and firstly I deployed the site on IIS6 and intalled the IH3. And everything seemed working fine.
2. Later, I stopped the IIS and installed Apache 2.2, and deployed the original site to Apache(all database files and site source code files were not modified nor moved), and found the IH3 is not working. More exactly, it's partially not working. The hover image is working fine as designated, but small and medium Images are not getting generated in the cache, so small and medium image srcs are referencing to the original large images instead of that in the cache.
3. If I shut down the Apache, and get back to IIS, it's working fine again.

It seems like the IH3 is not working with my apache. Even, I reninstalled the IH, and still it's not working with apache.

Is there any special configuration for Apache. Or someone else ever met this wired problem?

Thanks in advance!

I just got it solved by myself. It was due to the php.ini files. IIS and Apache are referencing different php.ini files because of bad configuration. After enable the gd2.dll in the php.ini Apache is referencing, this issue is gone!

Not an Image Handler support issue.. This is a server configuration issue..

For future reference IH3 support related questions should be posted in the IH3 support thread not the IH2 support thread..

I have a client using Zen 1.3.9 and IH2. They'd like to turn off the image hover function on the category pages. As there no no 'option' for this, my question is if I edit /includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php will that work? Or am I likely to break other IH2 functions?

Said another way, is the hover function integral to IH2?

The hover feature was always one of those "nice to have" features that was thrown into IH2.. As IH2 was primarily meant to optimize and manage images, it is NOT an integral feature and if removed or modified does not affect IH2s PRIMARY purpose..

I hate to do this but I can't find the answer and I've put some time into looking at this thread.

I need to remove the image path from displaing in the hover. I understand that it is the alt tag that is displaying and I don't see where in the mod this is determined. I used dreamweaver to do search on the files but it's not popping out.

Plenty of references to $alt in the functions but I never see where that is set up.

Does anyone know where this might be found?

It has been asked in this thread, I know i answered it. Can't find my original post but here is one that references, there is a big discussion somewhere before that post,
