Image Manager addon

[familynow]

Hi.

Just stumbled on this mod...Where the heck has this been hiding? I tripped and fell through IH2 and 3 and have been fussing around with imagemagick on my laptop for _months_. I'm really keen about sticking to the ZC standards...Anyway, thank god for this one! I sure hope this mod was included in 1.5

I originally installed this mod (2hrs ago) because I knew I had allot of LRG images missing. I was hoping I would re-upload them but my particular site doesn't really work for this feature because many of my images aren't as large as my large image setting. So within this mod I can't create large's.

Is there any way I could ask to have the re-upload forced on large like it is on small?

Actually, I guess I should explain why I'm trying to do this...I get alot of ppl who don't know how to exit the js when the LRG isn't present. I fear this will hurt sales over the long run by frustrating shoppers. So I guess perhaps a simpler solution might be to figure out a way to tell ZC if it doesn't find a LRG just use the small?! OR have a 'copy2large' link in IM for any image you already know won't be larger than the small.

I'm wondering why this mod isn't replacing the image upload section of the products add page in the first place? This would avoid even more clicks.

...just a thought.

Thanks for your hard work with this add on. I have now been able to upgrade to zencart 1.5. thanks to you. Everything seems to work quite well with maybe one exception. Should I be able to see the addtional images that I've uploaded from the admin area? I'm sorting with the image i.d., tried with and without errors, and have tested - uploading additional images works, but I can't see or delete them(both the pre-existing additional images, or the new ones) from admin. I'm assuming that I've missed something. They show up in the cart as expected.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you!

Did you use IM to upload the additional images?
Try to filter in IM on a product ID that certainly has additional images. What shows up now?

Thanks for your help.
I tried with a product with 12 images first, previously uploaded, then added one with IM, then tried with a product with no additional images that I used IM to upload. I still see no additional in the admin area. I'll try with a new, test product next. Is it possible this could be an upload error of one of the php files? My connection has been trouble. If so, which would it be?

I'm not certain what the problem is with the two products that I used to test. They happen to both be linked and are in the same category if that matters. I'm testing in a copy of the cart with the admin area/catalog not using secure server, and I'm in a different operating system at the moment and all of the other products that I've checked seem to be working.
Thanks for your time, and sorry to waste it.

No problem!
it does not matter in which category products are. In fact, IM only uses the products image info and the info of what is in the images folder.
Btw what is the filename of the image that refuses to show it's addtionals?

That is by design. When I started developing IM, I decided to make it an add-on (only additional code files) instead of an add-in (altering existing code). Basically IM is meant to maintain existing images, although later a link was added to upload new additional images. This was done because this function is not present in ZC.

However, I'll keep your suggestion in mind, thanks!

It seems I missed some posts lately, and I hope I answered all above here. If you are still waiting for an answer, please let me know.

Hi. No worries. This one's a bit lengthy....

I posted here a question about re-uploading images to LRG that are not actually LRG. In a nutshell, many of my images are quite small and so they never actually need resizing from LRG, MED to small. Nevertheless, I need those images in place because people get stuck not realizing they can hit ESC to exit when there is no larger image view available.

My problem is that I can't apply a blanket solution in that there are many images that do have larger LRG files attached. I have no problem combining through IM, clicking upload and attaching a new "small" image to LRG. however, it's almost impossible to accomplish this task without IM. so far, I've done a 'diff folderA folderB' but the list is painfully long.

hopefully this makes more sense to you then it does when I reread myself ;)
