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

[peanut77]

<rant>
Before ONE MORE PERSON implies that Image Handler for Zen Cart v1.5 is dead hear ye ye, hear ye:

Image Handler is being re-developed for v1.5 too..

It won't happen overnight.. Goodness gracious...

If you need it SOONER than folks in their free time can deliver, then INVEST in paying a developer to get it Zen Cart v1.5 ready for you.. In the meantime.. patience is a virtue..

Rinse and repeat..
</rant>

'tis all.. Carry on with your normal programming..

Just to say you are a saint among developers - looking forward to this and if you want a tester give me a shout. This is my favorite zen cart mod so thank you very very much for taking this on.

ZC v1.3.9h
IH v3.0

I have been working with IH for over a month now every thing seems to work great until recently when I have to update product pictures.
The old picture deleted fine, but when trying to upload the new pictures, the system would just hang up (progress bar starts and just sits there). Would this be an issue with IH or my server? If it's IH where would I start looking? Many thanks.

It's likely an issue with your server or you've reached the file upload limits set for your store.. Neither of which is an issue caused by IH3.. How big is the image?? Zen Cart has settings which limit the size of file uploads.. If your image exceeds your maximum settings this could be a cause for the system hanging.. Again, this would not be an IH3 issue though as much as it is you would need to either adjust your file upload maximum settings (not recommended as the defaults are okay) or reduce your image file size..

Just out of curiosity, are you uploading the new picture in the IH3 administration manager or on the product page??

As long as you understand it may be a while before I have "anything to show".. I've got a lot on my plate, so I have to do this when time permits.. Can't (won't) give an ETA..

Checked with server (Bluehost), they indicated no bottle neck or settings issues. The max file upload size is left at default (just under 2 Mb), never touch it since ZH install. My images range from 90K to 150K. I am using the IH admin (under tools) page to perform the upload.

The hang up is completely random but frequent, every 2-3 images uploaded will be interrupted with this timeout. Frequent enough to be a real headache.

Not for nothing your host will ALWAYS say everything is fine on their end.. I haven't met a host yet who'd admit an issue was on their end..

Honestly I don't think this is IH3 or we'd see more reports of this.. In all the IH3 installs I've done, this has not been an issue.. Perhaps someone else might weigh in with more insight than I..

Sooooooo, is the 1.5.0 version ready yet????

JUST KIDDING!

Seriously though, I just installed the 1.5.0 ZC version for the first time and was installing the addons I typically use on previous versions and came to IH and wondered. That's how I wandered over here to see if there was an update.

Hurry up! But take your time ... no mistakes buster!

*snickers* Sorry, am in a bratty mood today.

Thank you for providing a wonder addon. Can't wait for your next version. I know it will take you a bit to get all the coding squared away - we'll be here when you are ready.

Awesome Diva :) Super excited that you are working on IH for 1.5.0. You're a legend

Is there a way to link directly to a thumbnail when IH3 is installed? I have a product export as a pricefile which I send to shoppingagents but the only imagelink I can get to work in there is to the full image.
So in this file I would rather have a link to the thumbnail.

Is this possible and how?
