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

[DarkAngel]

I'm in need of advice
IH3 has worked great for me all along... Does what it says on the tin. TY

Now my current dilema:
I am now at the stage where I need to add many "additional product images" and all is well...
My problem is that I need to title each additional image to reflect that 'this image is an example of..' and 'this image is a gift box.." (not exactly like that of course)
So I know I need something like 'Additional Image Titles' but upon looking at this mod it apears long winded. Also I read one pose asking if it works along side IH3, to which he was told "probably not"

Basically I need to title my 'additional' images with my choice of title. AND I don't want to sacrifice IH3 to do it.

Any one know of a good way I can implement this feature?

PS: My PHP is minimal... I can cut & paste / merge but not write the stuff ;(

Thanks for any advice.

is 'Additional Image Titles' a mod to add on? if it is then if you have a test store set up you could try it and see if it works or not.

otherwise in the product description I would write down that some of the promos are... adding what you wish to add cause IH will name them according to what the main image is called and does not really distinguish any other name.

but someone more knowledgeable will come in soon and tell us if I am wrong...lol

Hi
Yes it's a mod (add-on) in the Zen download area.

Also I read one pose asking if it works along side IH3, to which he was told "probably not"

Was the mod author the one who made this statement??? If not why not ask the mod author in the "Additional Image Titles" support thread if there is a conflict.. I think HE would be in a better position to answer..

Sorry Diva if I'm posting in the wrong thread

It's kind of one of those situations where I'm piggy-in-the-middle!

The authors (gjh42) thread does not help me much... one comment on another person asking was:

"It probably wouldn't work automatically with IH3, but should be able to be applied by adding the title code to an IH3 file"

Call me lost

I'm a little amazed that after all the yrs Zen has been going that no one seems to have had a need to title the additional images independantly of the product title.

Oh well....

But that's kinda my point.. that's ONE reply with no follow-up.. Did you ask gjh42 if he knows how IH3 would need to be modified to work with his module?? gjh42 is one of the most helpful mod authors on this forum, I'm sure if you "complete the thought" he might be able to give you what you need or at least a nudge in the right direction..

Cheers Diva.... Will give it a go

Hello!

I am in the process of upgrading and looking for someone to stroke my hair and tell me all will be ok.

I just successfully upgraded my ZC to 139h and then upgraded to IH3 from IH2 rev8b. I am now in the process of upgrading to Zen Lightbox 1.6.2.

The question I have relates to the instructions for IH3, the Misc Page. On this page, the IH3 instructions state:
"Zen Lightbox - Replace the additional_images.php from Image Handler3 with the one that comes with Zen Lightbox. (Zen Lightbox has included all the merged code required for Zen Lightbox and Image Handler3 to work well together)"

But when I unzipped the lightbox and read through the instructions, I found no mention of IH3 and, in fact, the Lightbox 162 does mention that it was tested to work with IH2.

So my quesiton is this: What version of Zen Lightbox are the IH3 instructions referring to?

I just don't want to copy over core files with code that will break IH3 and I want both mods to play together.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Feznizzle,

It will all be ok

The ZLB Read_Me hasn't been updated to include the info found in the IH3 Read_Me - which may be why you are confused.

Go ahead and install the latest version of ZLB (available through the addons download section of the forum), and it will work perfectly well with IH3.

Typically, folks only have problems getting them to work together when they install ZLB 1st and IH3 2nd...because of the shared file. As long as IH3 is installed first, and ZLB is installed 2nd, everything is fine.

Good luck and happy Zenning
