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

[PleXy]

No extra coding was needed, I just found the solution for blurry images / no additional images showing.

Once Image handler is activated, go to configuration --> Images.
Set IH resize images to no

So paying a guy to fix this - not needed :)

Awesome you found a solution.. However, it would have been helpful (and you would have probably been given DIFFERENT information) if you had posted in the correct support thread for the version of Image Handler you are actually working with.. (it CLEARLY it sounds like you are using Image Handler 4, NOT Image Handler 3 as you previously reported)

This is the Image Handler 3 support thread which is only compatible with Zen Cart v1.3.9.. So when Gilby and I responded, we assumed you were posting in this thread because you had a Zen cart v1.3.9 store with Image Handler 3 installed.. (again this is based on the information you provided)

ih manager 3 in zencart 139


I installed the module and everything seemed ok ..

Then they loaded up no more 'photos

with the following error / debug files
-----------------------------------------

I thought that was due to the permissions of the medium and large

now folders, medium, large en at 777 and got the following error

Error!

I've spent about an hour reading through this huge thread, and could not find what I was looking for, so plaese forgive me if it's already been answered.

I'm running Image Handler 2, zencart V 1.3.9e

My questions are:
1. Is there a big improvement upgrading to Image Handler 3?

2. Is there an easy way to upgrade? I installed Image Handler 2 years ago, and can't quite remember all the steps. If Image handler 3 is simply a matter of copying over the new files over the old ones, it's a no-brainer, but if there's a lot more to it, I'm not sure if it's worth the effort, as I'm not very experienced with this type of stuff, and if I screw up, it may well take me many hours to recover.

Thanks a lot!

IH3 was updated specifically to work with ZC139x - so yes, that's a huge improvement. If you want to know what other improvements were made, simply download the installation pack and read the readme file.

Regarding installation - the readme file contains complete, step-by-step instructions for upgrading from IH2 to IH3. They are written in such a way that even the most inexperienced user will be able to complete a successful upgrade as long as they follow the instructions.

and a proper backup before install any mods ensures that this is a non-issue

I have images in my product descriptions using img src. Does this mod handle those images as well?

No it doesn't. It handles the products images

I tried searching this thread so forgive me if this has already been answered. I've installed (twice) to make sure all the files were copied correctly after trying to do Image Handler 2 yesterday and people told me of this newer - thanks! But I'm having the same issue; when I go to
Make sure Image Handler 3 is installed. Admin > Tools > Image Handler3 > Admin

it is not there. I had the same issue w/version 2 yesterday so I was unable to "un-install".
Does anyone know if there is a common missed step that would have it not appear in the admin - tools area?

Thanks in advanced for any assistance!

Have you made sure you uploaded all the files to the correct places?

Did you manually upload the files or use a program.

to uninstall it you don't need to really go to admin area but go to your server and manually remove ALL the files you uploaded for both IH2 and IH3, this way you know they are all gone.

Then upload each file again from the IH3 zip. It really does work almost out of the box and should show in admin IF you did not miss any admin folder files. Remember to do the 1_install files first then open the 2_install folder and upload those too.


on a side note, love your shop....really gothic cute. But I have trouble reading your text--both the purple and white with the tiled background...suggest you get a seamless tile to not distract too much, or make the one larger.
