Image Handler 2 (for ZC v1.3.8 ONLY) Support

You can have as many additional images as you want. It is just like stock Zen Cart with server side resizing and a convenient interface to add the additional images.

Thanks for being johnny on the spot with the replies. Yeah, I haven't gotten my head around how this stock multi-image thing works, but it appears I need to name them with the same suffix and put them in respctive folders named, med and lrg. This is my guess anyhow. Hopefully, your UI is money in this area and helps this grasshopper find his way. DANKE!

Have a look at this section of the documentation It features a partial screenshot of the manager page. The first row is the base image (various sizes), the second and third row are the additional images. If you click the add button (the one to the right which is cut off, so you can't actually see it), you are able to specify another additional image. You can delete the images, too or upload a different image instead of it.

Cheers,
Tim

edit: You can provide custom suffixes or have them automatically created. No need to rename your files prior to uploading them as additional images.

edit: As long as you don't want images with different content to show for medium and large images, you needn't worry about _MED and _LRG extensions.

The written word is being lost on me here. I'll try to simplify my explanation. I have more than one image uploaded to the site via IH for this product: http://legendsgallery.net/ecomm/cata...roducts_id=180

Yet, I see only one displayed and I only see the hover behavior from the general products listing page - not when I visit a single product page, which is where I would like to have multiple images displayed, with each having the hover behavior.

This way I don't need to define framing and matting attributes for every last product I put up here.

I'm trying to understand, so please be patient with me. Thanks in advance.

I got it! Took 3-wks to achieve this result, but I got it! Thanks Tim. Feel free to see the result of my toil and your headache dealing with me.

Not much there yet, and the css needs some love, but it's getting there.

Thanks Tim! you are very good explaining things

I messed up my cart three times this week, trying to install IH, lol. Luckily I had previous backups so it was not a major problem. I will try what you say and report back.

Cheers,
Mike

Just thought I'd share my success with IH2. Sometimes it is nice to hear the good.

I just downloaded it today, backed up everything, followed the directions, and had it up and running on the first try. Great job!

Thanks, and will send a donation when the store goes active.

Installed Image Handler 2 to my 1.3.7 Zen Cart. Images seem to show up fine in my https://www.kaylala.com catalog but not in my http://www.kaylala.com catalog. As you may have guessed I have a split file system because of my host... home/secure_html and home/public_html.

Any thoughts?

Also I don't see the fancy hover effect.

thanks,
Graham

update... I copied all the images that were created in my secure_html/bmz_cache folder to my public_html/bmz_cache folder, which seems to work with some quirks in the meantime (it's a live site... I know, I know).

I also added to call out for the jscript and css file to my html header, so the zoom works now.

But I still need a better fix for my split folder system. Any thoughts?

[kaylala]

update again... I've uninstalled Image Handler 2 for the time being... but if anyone has any advice on fixing my problem, please let me know. thanks!
