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

[DarkAngel]

I have a problem. I have no error file in the cache folder pertaining to this problem. I was fixing my paypal block and acciddently add a extra";" which took out the entire center section and the paypal block but I fixed it and now the store is as it should be ---- however -----

IH3 has stopped working on the main central pages. Up until the part disappearing it was working. Now the images there just do not have the popup images they just sit there when hovered.

I have changed image size settings/ uninstalled IH3/ cleared cache/ removed the files/ cleared cahe and history and cookies in browser/ downloaded fresh zip and reuploaded fresh files and still it refuses to work on the main page center blocks anymore. Prior to doing it all fresh it did work in the side boxes so not sure what happened. I can live with it that way but would rather have it back to full fuctionality if you please.

Any ideas?

I made sure the watermark files were in the 3 image folders, with the correct names.
I made sure I renamed the admin folders and also the template folders correctly.
The permissions for bmz_cache are set to owner read write execute, the same as my images folder
The install seemed to go fine.
I have cleared cache an cookies and also tried 3 different browsers.

Where would you suggest I look to fix this problem. My site is sewchacha.com if you want to look at it.

thank you

You might start with turning Image Handler ON...

[oneeyewilly]

LOL, okay thank you. I thought that was only to "resize" the images and I didn't want my images resized. I remember turning that off because my images weren't showing up that on.

So that brings me to another question.

Either my "medium size" image isn't showing up, or my "large size" image isn't showing up. After some trouble shooting I have figured out that it depends on if I uploaded the image to my medium or large folder when I added my product. If I uploaded it to my large folder then the medium image doesn't show and if I uploaded it to the medium then the large image doesn't show up.

Is there a way to just add all of the images at once for both the large and medium image instead of going to each product and adding an image that is already added?

Thank you again!

The wonderful thing about this modification to ur stores is ---- YOU only upload the original size to the server...not lrg not med just the one original size.

If you have more than one image per product then upload them renaming them as such: nameofimage.jpg with the others appending _01.jpg, _02 etc until you have all of them for the one product uploaded.

Then tell the product what the main image is called and IH will do the rest. All images in the image same folder (main or a sub directory)not in the LRG/MED at all.

Then with the resize turned on it will be as efficient as it is supposed to be

Thank you very much, I just put all of my images into my main images folder and it worked! You all are great!

I have a watermarking question.

I see 3 options in the settings for small medium and large images to have watermarks : yes or no.

But what about the default image? We dont add "large" images we just have the main product image uploaded when the product is created and then image_1.jpg etc for additional images.

In admin I can see the watermark in IH3, but not on the live site.

So I think Ive misunderstood how the default image gets its watermark?

Is my question above valid or have I made a basic mistake somewhere? Any help appreciated.
Again, in admin in IH3 where you can see the product images, they are showing the watermark.
On the website you cant see the watermark and all images are showing from the correct place ie the bmzcache folder.

In IH you upload ONE image (the default image) IH then creates the small, medium, and large images..

Sometimes questions don't get answered because folks are either busy or don't have an answer to give..

Regarding your question: After you turn on watermarking you have to clear the bmz_cache because IH needs to regenerate all your images again with the watermarks..
