Image Handler 4 (for v1.5.x) Support Thread

[DivaVocals]

I have it installed and it works but I have a few questions that I could not find an answer to:

1. It zooms on my category images, and product list pages, can it be shut off. The only place I want a zoom is on the actual product page.
2. It does zoom on my additional images but not the main product picture. Any idea why?

Here is a link

Zencart 1.5 and latest version of image handler 4

All explained in the readme in great detail..

i'm having an issue with this and "fastcgi" on Microsoft-IIS/6.0

I can install the entire module, but installation of the functions_bmz_image_handler.php breaks the front end of site giving this error:
----
FastCGI Error

The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.
Error Details:

The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly
Error Number: -2147467259 (0x80004005).
Error Description: Unspecified error
HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
Internet Information Services (IIS)
----

the back end survives, until i try to access the image handler module, and i get the same error.

any suggestions for troubleshooting? i have it working on my 1.3.9h live site (w/ IH3), but cannot get it to work on my 1.5.1 beta (w/ IH4), running on the same server. it also works fine on my local MAMP server i used to set up the 1.5.1.

in case anyone ever uses IH4 with multiple sites using one database on the same server, here is how to make it work
you have site1original.com site2forsomething.com. and you only use site1original.com to add products.

you need to
edit site2forsomething.com/includes/functions/html_output.php
find
second instance of
// alt is added to the img tag even if it is null to prevent browsers from outputting
// the image filename as default
(line 197)
add this directly below it

if ($_SERVER['HTTPS']== 'on' ){$src="https://www.site1original.com/".$src;} else  {$src="http://www.site1original.com/".$src;} 

also need to have this in your site2forsomething.com/includes/configure.php
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/myaccount/locationOfSite1original/');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/myaccount/locationOfSite1original/cache');

I am having a problem with the pop up (larger images) not showing up when I click on it to view. It is just in a perpetual loading mode.
I resized my images to be 72 ppi and 300 px wide. So I am pretty sure it is not the size of the images. What else would it be. Any ideas?

Not a clue.. Without something to see, I would be guessing (which is a waste of your time and the time of anyone who might be able to help you).. Posting a direct link to a product where the issue you are having can be seen is VERY helpful.. Some additional details that would be helpful is to provide some information about your image formats and naming conventions used.

I am using jpg images and there are no spaces in the image files. Well, actually there is in one of the images and not in the other one. It is happening with both so I don't think that is the issue. Both of the image files are size is 395 KB.

This is not an issue with IH4 at all.. this is your lightbox which is not behaving.. You need to post your concerns in the the support thread for the lightbox.. Suggest you re-check your installs of both IH4 and the Lightbox before you do this.. In particular make sure that any files that both light box and IH4 use are correctly implemented..

Hi,

Searched through the thread and only saw one other reference to this error that didn't seem to be resolved.

After uploading the files I go to my admin, click on a link and get the following:

Missing or unreadable file:/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/xxxxxxxx/bmz_cache/.htaccess
Warning Some Image Handler files do not exist. Perhaps you have uploaded them incorrectly? Or the permissions are set incorrectly?
Warning ********** Installation has been aborted. **********

(xxxxxxx inserted for security)

I can't work out what's wrong, the bmz and image folders are set to 0777 on the server?

have you confirmed that the .htaccess file in [webroot]/bmz_cache/ did get uploaded? Some FTP clients will not upload files that have a name starting with a "." in a group upload (others can't even see the file to upload it). If it is there, is it readable by the public?

I bet you're 100% right that it didn't get uploaded, i'm on a mac and for all their good points they do like to hide stuff from you. The .htaccess file isn't there and also doesn't show in the offline folders as OSX is hiding it from me.

I'll turn on the hidden files option in OSX and try again, thanks!
