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

[DivaVocals]

thanks you... do you mean different file types per product?? or for all products?? i just looked at the readme.html file and could not find any mention of using different file types.. i read it through twice.. there were 2 links to forum threads that i did not read - is it in them?

ONE filetype PER PRODUCT..

Hi All

Installed IHv4 and only have 1 problem . On the product screen when I hover over the thumbnail I get image appearing. But when I click on the the thumbnail a popup window appears but the window is minimized to a really small size. once i manually size up the popup window i can see the image.

How can i set the pop up screen size ? I included a picture to show the problem.

Thanks Paul

Screenprints don't help.. as stated on page one of the support thread a LINK to your site and to a specific product where the issue can be seen is much more helpful. That said I would venture that you issue is an installation failure of some sort, and suggest you check your install..

Testing new version now. For anyone interested in testing, the BETA version available on Github: https://github.com/DivaVocals/zen_Image-Handler

BETA version is for testing only and should NOT be used on a production site.

Will make this comment here, hopefully with direction to follow as to where additional comment should be provided associated with this revision.

While not many devices offer the capability, there are some that are touchscreen but also have a mouse-like device and therefore would actually be unnecessarily losing out on functionality. One that comes to mind is a blackberry 9900+ series model. Not sure where those type devices fit in the design scheme, but certainly hope that such functionality/capability continue to be considered.

the code detects mobile devices and if it is a mobile device it disables the the image hover function... simple.. is it possible that some touchscreen devices which are not mobile devices will be detected as being a mobile device will be caught in this? yep.. however they seem to be the minority of devices affected.. you are welcome to suggest/submit an alternate method..

What could be the problem so I almost always in my log:
08-Jan-2014 08:00:35 Europe/Rome] PHP Warning: preg_replace() [<a href='function.preg-replace'>function.preg-replace</a>]: Unknown modifier 'd' in /home/centoasa/public_html/includes/modules/gloss_blue/main_product_image.php on line 32
Thank you

Hello!
I am new to Zen Cart, in the process of getting off Front Page. Installed Zen Cart v1.5.1 and have made a few changes to the css file and My Template. You can see the site in its current state at http://www.heirloomstocherish.com/catalog/. As you can see I still have a ways to go to customize some of the php files - the site is still not yet ready for prime time, but it will be soon. Also, just recently installed Image Handler 4 - installation was a breeze, thanks to the excellent documentation and what is (as far as I can tell anyway) really good code! I made all the changes and checked file permissions suggested, and while I still need to play around a bit with my image sizes, everything has been going swimmingly...except (1)my images are mostly taller than wide (check out any category, except Clip-On Birds), but Clip-On Birds images are generally wider than tall, so the small image setting makes them really small on the product listing page. How can I fix this, ie., make them larger without making all the other images way too big? (2)After I installed IH4, the product listing page for Annual Ornaments went blank, but all other pages dispayed OK. When I changed Configuration/Images/IH resize images back to NO, the page came back. Change it to YES, the page won't display. How come is that? I created Annual Ornaments2 to overcome the problem, but don't understand why the original won't work. I have also noticed that the higher numbered pages in Angels & Ladies won't display. Is this related to my cache files somehow (both images and bmz_cache folders are set to 755, although folders (0,1,2,etc) within bmz_cache are set to 644)?

Can anyone help me, please?

Hi Phil,

I am currently building a completely new website on ZenCart v 1.5.1 with an Image Handler 4.3.1 plugin. My current site www.victoriahouseneedlecraft.com.au is on alternative software which we have outgrown. I need images for everything, and the visual requirements are diverse. I have large tapestries over a metre wide and stitching threads that need graphics.

Graphics look best as a square, so they need to be mounted onto a square background, I saw somewhere on the forums to use the 500, 250, 125 scale with 480, 240 and 120 the maximum dimension either way. This will stop writing bleeding into your images. Obviously for threads I do not have large or medium sized images. With yarn images I only used medium and small images and then use all 3 sizes for larger objects. I have only used instructions on the forums but the rule of thumb is to take the best possible image available and then shrink to fit for the smaller sizes. You lose too much detail going from small to large. So with the bigger stuff I start with the largest images and get them right with a maximum dimension of 480pix and superimpose it over a 500pix square so there is white background around the image as a frame and where the object is not a square a larger expanse of blank area. I also batch process with a photoshop editor to reduce the sizes to med and small images. I use Adobe photoshop but there are others out there.

hope that helps on what to do with different objects. The other queries will need to get help from people with more ZenCart savvy than me.

in IE image handler works fine; instead on firefox or chrome, don't work. Simply a character as ^ or # in the mytemplate/common/html_header, then works well also in firefox or chrome. Where is the issue?
