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

[DivaVocals]

Where is this mythical downloads section I am hearing so much about? Is the download ready?

Thank you!

So you apparently missed ALL of the follow-up discussion that followed ryska's post..

Suggest waiting.. There has been an effort already underway to put together an updated Image Handler which is v1.5 compatible.. we have a new and IMPROVED version that is in the final testing stages.. (you apparently missed all the posts about this effort) The plan was (and still is) to submit the updated version this weekend.. I will probably make it available on my site while we wait for approval..

Ok, I did not want to wait a long time, I need it for a production site. In this case, wait for your version. :-)

Well we work as fast as VOLUNTEERS who receive no compensation for donating our time can work.. Plus I like to conduct a THOROUGH UA testing and to write proper user documents.

All of that takes TIME to put together.. I understand folks need THINK they need this TODAY, but the truth is that v1.3.9h is stable and safe and v1.5 upgrades don't HAVE to happen today. So a taking a little extra time to do this right in my opinion is the best way to proceed for the long term versus tossing something RUSHED over the fence to the community.

That said it sounds like you have a solution for yourself. So your upgrade effort isn't being impeded by waiting for our release to be finished. That said this is open source so there's NOTHING stopping you from submitting your version. However, since there has been an active ongoing effort to update this add-on I am glad you are choosing to wait and let us FINISH our release and get it out to the community.

Let me clarify this last part..

ryska it sounds like you have a solution for your own upgrade solution so while it's nice that you have chosen to wait for our release for your own upgrade, I was MORE concerned about you submitting your release before my team gets a chance to submit ours.

While I certainly can't stop you from sharing your update with the community, I am glad you have chosen to NOT to submit it and allow us to get our release out. I think it would have created a fair amount of confusion if our release is submitted to the community RIGHT behind your release. (which I am betting based on the included enhancements looks NOTHING like yours )

If ryska wants to share his version with you, you can certainly contact him about sending it to you.. and let's be CLEAR here -- he's NOT obligated to share his version with ANYONE. As you can see from previous posts, ryska has graciously agreed to not submit his update and allow us to finish our QA testing, updating the add-on documentation, and properly submit the new AND IMPROVED Image Handler 4 for Zen Cart v1.5. In doing so I believe this will minimize community confusion.

The documentation is being updated, and I am hoping we can submit it this weekend.. We appreciate the communities patience.
