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

[k1ra]

I just installed Image Handler 4 on an upgrade of a 1.3.9 site to 1.5.1. Image Handler 4 is NOT resizing my images as it is supposed to. I upload my large size image [600x900] into the DEFAULT box, but the images are not compressing and resizing. On my localhost, on a fresh 1.5.1 install, this does work correctly.

Having installed IH4 on a ZC V1.5.x. Site, then should have seen in the instructions that IH4 is only applicable to 1.5.x sites, and that there are other versions of IH to work on 1.3.9 and others. Read the first post to this thread:

If I understand correctly you upgraded from Zen Cart 1.3.9 to 1.5.1, and installed IH4.. It's not working.. The most common reason is that IH4 is installed incorrectly.. Suggest rolling back and re-installing IH4..

While on fourth read of the original question, I now understand the issue as diva vocals has reexpressed it, I apologize for my error above.

Should these OLD.IH4 files be deleted after install or upgrade? Do they cause security problems?

No.. they are there so that if you uninstall it can restore the previous version of the files.. (their purpose is explained in the readme..)

[mydanilo]

Thanks, just was not clear if they still "could" be a security problem. One could always upload them again before uninstall if need be. But if they cause no harm, I'll leave them alone.

Im sure Ive had this problem before but I cant remember the answer...

Ive installed IH4 and its all basically working but the link to enlarge images on my product pages is incorrect (I think).

The link code is:

/images/large/image-name__LRG.jpg

But I think it would work fine if it was

/images/image-name.jpg

When I click the image to enlarge it I just get a blank white overlay.

My large folder is there and has all permissions etc but there are no LRG.jpg files within it. The original files I upload when creating a product are the large, full size zoom pictures that I want to use. Im using a template monster theme and it has a lightbox type of setup zoom function.
The thumbnail on the product page is working fine, its from the bmz_cache folder.

Sorry if Ive missed something, searching this thread for LRG.jpg found nothing so I presume this question hasnt been answered before...

Also I should add that adding any additional images works fine, uploading image-name_1.jpg shows the extra image on the page and clicking that thumbnail zooms the extra image into the lightbox zoom function.

Also using the firebug plugin and changing the code on the page to the correct image url allows everything to work fine as well.

So simply, where is my site getting this new link code from with the /large/ and the _LRG.jpg additions to the URL?

As stated in the readme (and few times in this support thread) You do NOT upload ANY images to the large or medium folders.. Upload your LARGEST image and IH4 will create the optimized small, medium, and large images..
