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

[DivaVocals]

So sorry if this has been addressed, but I've searched and cannot find the answer. I've been trying to work my way through errors for 3 days now and have progressed to the point where I can't figure it out any more:

I have ZC 1.5.4
This was a new install.
I've installed the Tableau template. It came with the Image Handler 4 built into it.
I installed ZC from the automated script, and had to adjust a few settings to get the "all green" before installing.
Using PHP 5.2.17
MySQL 5.1.69
When I installed the Tableau template I got a few errors related to the install but managed to apply a few changes as per other threads and it installed.

My problem was that I wasn't getting images watermarking properly. After 2 days of diagnosing, I finally downloaded the latest Image Handler 4 and ran the script. I got the following errors:

Image Handler files all exist in correct positions in the directory structure.
Warning CORE FILE OVERWRITE : /hsphere/local/home/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/CATALOG/MYADMIN/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php was NOT overwritten.
Warning CORE FILE OVERWRITE : /hsphere/local/home/DIRECTORY/DIRECTORY/CATALOG/includes/modules/pages/popup_image/header_php.php was NOT overwritten.

Error The auto-loader YOURADMIN/includes/auto_loaders/config.image_handler.php has not been deleted. For Image Handler to work you must delete this file manually.
Success Image Handler has been successfully installed 

So after thread searching, I did a file compare and overwrote the files manually, and replaced the other files that were not created into the proper directory and deleted the script.

Now, images are watermarking properly. Very nice. Just as I want.

But now this problem:

My product images are not displaying the pop ups. And additional images aren't displaying properly.

I did some file comparisons and cannot find where things are going wrong.

Here's a link to a product page:

http://sunshinelocksmith.com/key-cat...&products_id=1

Notice when you click on the main image it says "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later".

And when you click the 2nd image, the main image is blank.

I cleared out all caches and cannot trace where this might be giving me problems from. Nothing in the error logs to help either.

Not sure that this is aused by Image Handler.. Likely caused by whatever other image module you have installed or that came bundled with Tableau..

Personally I wish template authors would NOT bundle in things like lightboxes and Image Handler in with their templates.. they are GOTCHAS waiting to happen IMHO..

Okay, which file do you think it is that needs to be restored to original, then compared against Image Handler?

I couldn't say.. Suggest comparing them ALL.. and seeing where your code differs from what is in the Image Handler files.. BTW, IH4 currently available inthe downloads has NOT yet been updated/tested with v1.5.4 of Zen Cart..

[sunshinelock]

I had to delete the templates/tableau/templates/tpl_main_product_image.php to get the proper 1st image to pop up again.

Problem 2 is the 2nd image. I'll post when I find the solution to that.

Yep, Tableau is one of the worst, the only thing that is not included in the package is Zen Cart

**snickers**

The problem with all this bundling besides the fact that I don't always LIKE the bundling choices the author makes in choosing the bundled modules (ie: I prefer Zen Colorbox, & the author may bundle in Zen Lightbox for example) is that it sometimes makes troubleshooting issues a bit tricky.. Can't tell what's caused by the template, and what's caused by the module, or what's being caused by something else bundled in.. If sunshinelock's issues started RIGHT after installing the template, and the template was installed over a VANILLA Zen Cart install, I'd say the best bet is to go to the author of the template and ask them for assistance to resolve.. I am personally not going to be able to spend a lot of time trying to GUESS what MIGHT be the solution as my free time is limited.. Don't know what effect some of the modules bundled in with this particular template might have..
