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

[neilyuk]

Hi All,

Hope someone can point me in the right direction here, I'm having problems with my products not displaying the large image preview window, basically it freezes when opening in firefox & IE but seems fine on safari?

I've been trying to sort this out for a week now but with no sucess but have picked up some useful info regarding uploading my images and also correctly naming them.

So my main questions are, is this problem easily fixed or should I just look at upgrading to IH3?

The store has been customized & installed by a fellow zen cart forum member who could be contacted about this problem but I would prefer to start learning how to fix these problems out myself.


Zen V1.3.9h
IH2 version 2

Thanks in advance & hope I haven't left anything important out

Cheers
Neil

Yes, a link to your site so we can see the problem, and the code thats causing it.

Provide a link to an effected page please.

When you say preview, do you mean

a) The large image on the product information page that appears when you click on the "larger image" link
OR
b) The hover image

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,

Actually all I want to do is remove the alt tag from showing when you hover over - not actually remove the alt tag itself from the image. The image handler is purposely displaying that in the hover so it has to be in the image handler files.

Then I started thinking. I was looking to the php for an answer - there's javascript with this thing (DUH).

So with a little bit of experimentation:
in templates/js/jscript_imagehover.js

line 193

newHTML = '<div><h1>' + title + '</h1>';

change it to this to keep the white border

newHTML = '<div><h1>'  + '</h1>';

or this to remove the white border

newHTML = ' ';

I love answering my own questions!

Ah Ok, you mean the caption on the actual hover image box, yep thats the right way to remove it.

I assumed you meant the alttag that is displayed when you hover on an image, on any image, eg hover over your avatar to the left here and it should say "Delias Avatar", on some browsers that hover appears on the IH image hover and looks a bit odd.

This is a Zen Lightbox support issue rather than an IH2 support issue, because it is your lightbox that is not functioning.

When you install Zen Lightbox together with IH2, there are special installation instructions regarding a file they share. Unfortunately, the documentation for this has not yet been added to the Zen Lightbox Read_Me, and was not included in the IH2 Read_Me.

This special installation instruction was added to the Read_Me for IH3 Release. Even though you are still using IH2, recommend you download IH3 and take a look at the Read_Me file - specifically the "Troubleshooting" tab, under the section that addresses using IH and ZLB together.

If, after following those instructions, your lightbox still isn't functioning, recommend you post on the Zen Lightbox support thread.

Good luck and happy Zenning :)

Hi,
I'm having problems uploading pictures.
I upload a product and add pictures with image handler, until then everything's fine. Then when I upload a second product and try to add pictures with image handler, I get the same pictures as the previous product, uploaded to my new product as well ! And if I try to edit these pictures to put the ones I want instead, they also change in my first product ! And it goes the same for every product I add after that. It's like it's the same picture files for every product.
Does anyone have any idea of what might be the problem ? I'm really stuck here..
Thank you !

What at the image file names you're using?
