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

**sigh**
This REALLY IS all covered in the IH3 readme..

How do I get the hovered image larger?

You can either have the image that shows when you hover over the small image be the large sized image or the medium sized image. (you set which one in the image settings - for more details on this PLEASE refer to the readme if anything there is unclear then please indicate what is not clear and we shall be happy to help clarify those things for you)

And when you actually go to the product page, is there anyway to get IH3 to enlarge that photo too, so that it doesn't have to get opened in a new window?

Short answer is NO there is on hover effect for the medium image.. (medium image is the one which appears on the product main page -- the locations of the various image sizes and the lack of an on medium image hover are all covered in detail in the IH3 readme)

To those having a problem with image pop-up in Firefox 7. I haven't installed IH3 (yet) and don't know if it's related, but read this thread to see how it was solved:

And let me save everyone the trouble of having to read this entire post (like I just did) to get to the recommended solution..
(see quote from this thread below)

I had same problem testing 1.5.0 , as per Ajeh , it turned out to be FireBug extension effecting the popup. disable Firebug extension and see if that remedy the problem.

Apparently the issue is a FIREFOX BUG, and looks like it is related to a specific Firefox extension which interferes with popups..

Honestly this is not an IH3 issue.. The large image popup is NOT modified by IH3. This is a Firefox issue. I would suggest posting this issue in a more appropriate place on the forum and try as the other thread suggested disabling all your Firefox extensions..

Zen Ver 1.3.9h
Image Handler version Version 2

When someone is using Firefox (ver 7.0.1) images cannot be enlarged without having to play around with the mouse. For example, if you open a product on my site below, try to click on the image. Note the mouse icon with not change to a "hand" unless you center the icon in the middle of the image. SO most customers assume the image can't be enlarged after clicking their mouse a few times and nothing happens.

What you're talking about can be found on this product page.

However, when other images, such as those under "We Recommend" found on that same page, or those found under "New Products" on your home page, are moused over - IH works exactly as expected. Which is to say the image is zoomed on mouseover.

The issue you are describing (and which can be reproduced by me when I visit your site), is not an IH2 or IH3 issue. It is an issue with FF 7.01 and ZC's core functionality as it relates to viewing a larger version of a product image when on a product info page.

The reason I know this is because I know that the functionality of ZC which enlarges product images on click is not a function of IH2 or IH3 - it is a core ZC functionality that remains unchanged by IH2 and IH3.

IH does not handle the zooming/enlarging of product images on product info pages because IH does not handle medium size images - and ZC uses the medium size image to enlarge product images (on product info pages) on click. This is addressed at length in the IH3 Read_Me.

Seconding what Diva has said, suggest you take this up with FF developers and/or in the ZC forum on the general issues board. It has been suggested that the FF issue is really an issue with an addon called Firebug, but I use that addon and have no problem on my site.

The issue seems to affect some stores while leaving other stores unaffected. Whether it's a FF issue, a Firebug issue, an individual store issue, an outdated JS issue, or a browser permissions issue...it is clearly not an IH3 or IH2 issue and therefore should no longer be discussed in this thread, as it could be confusing to new Zenners.

Good luck and happy Zenning

I see what you mean but I use the same add on and don't get the problem you describe on my images, mine work perfectly in Firefox and Chrome so it can't really be this mod
