Wanted to add this.. since this is indeed an unsupported mod, I would ask that anyone who uses it and has issues take the discussion of those issues to a new thread..

Yep any users who use the above mod/changes, go here and give you verdict/feedback

Hi,

I have installed image handler and all is working great. I have the zoom on hover working perfectly on the items that I want it to except for the additional images....you still have to click to enlarge as seen here http://www.nitwitcollections.com/sho...oducts_id=1180. As you will see at the bottom of this product page, the zoom works well on the "co-ordinating products" and "also purchased", but not for the additional images just under the main image.

I have uploaded the additional images using the IH Manager and uploaded the _LRG format in the default field as per the Usage Instructions and have this _LRG file placed in the images/large and images folders in my cart. Is there an image size value that I need to change in Admin->Config->Images in order get these to zoom on hover?

Thanks in advance for your response,
Jeff

In working on this once again (once taking a break) I have answered my own question, and now have it working. It was my main image name that was throwing everything off, in that I was using the _LRG image file and name, placed in the images folder. Once I took out the _LRG prefix, it now works perfectly.

I Hope that this may help someone else if they have the same error they have committed!!

That's because NOWHERE in the readme do we include any instructions to upload "the _LRG format in the default field".

I got Image Handler installed on ZC 1.5.1 successfully but have run into some inconsistency problems in being able to edit products going either route, via Catalog - Catalog/Products --> clicking on the IH image or Tools --> Image Handler.

Via the second route, Tools --> Image Handler, it displays the full list of categories, but only a dozen product from one category are selectable.

You select Tools --> Image Handler

It shows the 4 options across the top:
Image Manager - Admin Tools - Preview - About/Help
And lists:
* Uninstall Image Handler. (Please backup your site and database first)
* Clear image cache
* Scan for old IH 0.x and 1.x original images
I click on Image Manager
It shows the category selector, then 1 of 12 products; these products are all editable.
If I select 'any' of the other categories, next/previous, etc it loses the category list and products reverting to only showing only the 4 options and 3 bulleted items as noted above.

Also, under the title, "Image Handler 4", you see a message: "No Image Handler information found."

Going the other route through Category/Product, if I click on the image icon with a product it also takes me to the same 4 options and 3 bulleted items but with no categories, products, anything.

Ideas, please???

The image represents what I am seeing with most folders, rather than product where I can edit and add images.

IH4 is not fully/correctly installed (as the message implies). Suggest redoing the install..

Hi. I've been looking into the far corners of the internet but I can't find any information on how I can arrange the the Medium size images to be where I want them on the product page or if it is even possible. Is there anyway to control their position? Apologies if this has been asked before.

Not an IH4 support related question.. You should post a new thread to ask about how to arrange the product info page..

Well, I went back to the package and recopied in the 2 install folders, but this time it worked. What I did wrong the first time around I do not know.

However, I am seeing a second problem, not sure whether it's related to IH, zencart core or the lightbox. I've added some images to products using both regular zencart image uploader and IH. If I go to a product page and click on either the product image or the thumb image under it, it opens a blank lightbox. No image displays, no prev-next, nothing.

What am I looking for?
