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

[gandalfsmith]

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd bet that your Template Monster template is the issue.. It's likely that they stripped code Image Handler needs to work properly.. You can test my theory by trying to switch to the classic template.. I'll bet you will not have the same issues if you do..

Only other thing I can suggest is rechecking your install..

Hmm something def up. Cannot even select to use the classic template from Admin. It only shows the current one. First time I have come across this - do you know how I get that back?

IH3 and TPP should work together. I have used it many times together. It is more likely it has something to do with your TM template

Ditto.. TPP and IH work perfect together..

I am POSITIVE that your Template Monstrosity template is the root cause of your issues.. Try another template.. I'm positive your issues will disappear.. Picaflor Azul or Brandon Turpin's templates are the way to go IMHO if you are not going to "grow your own" template and you want something nice..

I concur - I have made 2 changes and it is working YAY!!!
I went back and did a win merge against the file (inc/mod/pages/popup_image/header_php.php)

The first line in yours says $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HEADER_START_POPUP_IMAGES_ADDITIONAL');
mine says $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HEADER_START_POPUP_IMAGES'); - I must have missed that when doing a win merge - missing the ADDITIONAL part
Your file in the module has no ?> as the last time - mine did, so I took it out.

I am now going to go and double check the other file too (inc/mod/pages/popup_image_additional/header_php.php), so that I do not have the same problem with additional images.

Thank you for all your help.

Typical Template Monstrosity $h!t.. Glad you got it worked out..

I may have to do that, I am one of the few that does actually sit and read through every help file, installation file, config etc when installing a mod. I know that for this one, the installation files cover everything, and I did do a comparison with WinMerge on the core edit files. My guess is it may have to do with the main_product_image.php file in modules. I will go and check it again. Drives me crazy when these guys mess with the core coding of zencart - why they don't just comment out what they change (so at least we know what they did) is beyond me.

I do wonder though if it has anything to do with a jscript conflict? I also installed Tab Products Pro (version for 1.3.9) and I see that it is not putting the tabs up, rather just displaying as list items.

Have you tried uninstalling the tabs mod and seeing if that makes a difference---using the default template?

I have had to work on a couple of TM templates and trust me they are no joy to fix. You could just add the drop down menus to the one that is already there instead of the added tabs at the top, maybe? Depends on their drop menu coding too if it is in a separate file it might maybe can be done.

You could also use win-merge to check the original zen cart file you suspect with the one from tm template to see what is different too and that could give you an idea---or just use another template totally.

That's why my policy is this. I don't do Template Monstrosity templates at all!! Period.. no exceptions.. IMHO, Template Monstrosity is the go to crutch folks like to run to for "pretty" templates.. No reason to anymore.. there are now LOTS of good options available.. I also "grow my own" because it totally is easy enough to do.. Barebones is a nice template to use as a starting point for "growing your own" template IMHO..

I have a problem with the creation of png's. All images that ImageHandler creates that are .png are broken. As far as I know I have setup ImageHandler correctly and it does fully work for other filetypes.

Even on my new virtual server this does not work. So any cached image that ImageHandler creates and that is an png is broken.
The png's that where created a few months ago on my old server are all broken to. So I don't think its some missing library or so...

I have installed libgd and ImageMagick:

dpkg -l|grep gd
ii libgd2-xpm 2.0.36~rc1~dfsg-6ubuntu2 GD Graphics Library version 2
ii php5-gd 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.4 GD module for php5

dpkg -l|grep imagemagick
ii imagemagick 8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3.2 image manipulation programs

Here is one of the broken images:

http://www.snelwebshop.nl/bmz_cache/...mage.55x40.png

If I download if via FTP and test it on my local PC its also saying that its damaged.

For now I have setup ImageHandler to convert all images to JPG... but I would love to use PNG again :-)

Any idea on why this is going wrong?

If this is for Image Handler v4, then you need to post in the IH4 support thread.. You also need to check your source images.. If they are damaged then IH4 will created damaged files from these damaged images...

This is an Imager Handler V3 (installed on Zen-Cart 1.3.9) so this should be the right forum :-)

I recreated the png with photoshop... still gets the same damaged images.

When I have time I will install the latest version of IH to check if that fixes this issue.
