Image Manager addon

[familynow]

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?

Thanks much for what looks like a terrific add-on, boudewijn.

I can't seem to figure out exactly what Autofix does. Does it apply combined copy/resize to all listed image files?

The script is working wonderfully with ZC 1.5, however when I try to do the combined copy/resize, it creates three greatly degraded images.

I had had IH3 running before I upgraded and it appears that I have removed all the IH3 files, however all of the IH3 line items are still appearing in the Configuration/Images listing. Could this be causing a problem?

Yes, all autofix does, is click on the first combined copy/resize links, over and over again. If you just added 100 products, it saves you 99 clicks.

Okay my mistake not removing Image Handler (IH3) BEFORE upgrading to ZC1.5.

Ended up having to remove files manually and alter database through phpmyAdmin (Cpanel), using two SQL statements from the remove_image_handler function:

DELETE FROM zen_configuration WHERE configuration_key = 'LARGE_IMAGE_MAX_WIDTH' OR
configuration_key = 'LARGE_IMAGE_MAX_HEIGHT' OR configuration_key = 'SMALL_IMAGE_FILETYPE' OR configuration_key = 'SMALL_IMAGE_BACKGROUND' OR configuration_key = 'WATERMARK_SMALL_IMAGES' OR configuration_key = 'ZOOM_SMALL_IMAGES' OR configuration_key = 'ZOOM_IMAGE_SIZE' OR configuration_key = 'SMALL_IMAGE_QUALITY' OR configuration_key = 'MEDIUM_IMAGE_FILETYPE' OR configuration_key = 'MEDIUM_IMAGE_BACKGROUND' OR configuration_key = 'WATERMARK_MEDIUM_IMAGES' OR configuration_key = 'MEDIUM_IMAGE_QUALITY' OR configuration_key = 'LARGE_IMAGE_FILETYPE' OR configuration_key = 'LARGE_IMAGE_BACKGROUND' OR configuration_key = 'WATERMARK_LARGE_IMAGES' OR configuration_key = 'LARGE_IMAGE_QUALITY' OR configuration_key = 'WATERMARK_GRAVITY' OR configuration_key = 'IH_RESIZE' OR configuration_key = 'SHOW_UPLOADED_IMAGES';

Second Statement:

UPDATE zen_configuration SET configuration_value='REMOVED' WHERE configuration_key = 'IH_VERSION';

Maybe the two above statements could be combined, but I'm not sure.

(zen_configuration is the table name in the database and could have a different prefix ie: my_configuration)

Actually this is IH and not IM. Best is to post this in the IH support thread.....

Both Combined copy/resize and Autofix seem to be making the small image (600px wide and @ 150kb) small BEFORE creating the medium and large images, which is resulting in all the images being pixilated.

So am able to create "large" image, but then the option to resize the small one doesn't seem to be offered.

If this happens, something else is wrong. The order is:
1. copy to large, resize/watermark large
2. copy to medium, resize/watermark medium
3. resize/watermark small

Watermarking only takes place if a watermark image is in place, see the image_manager.txt file.

Hi.

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.

1. No, images can only be uploaded as small images, and from there replace the existing medium and large version of the image.

2. This is a coding issue in the front end (shop), where the images are gathered for display. As IM only acts in the back end (admin), IM cannot fix this.
