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

[wasana]

Sheila -

I'm not an expert but:

I'd try going to admin/config/images and make sure IH is turned on. At the bottom of the list of options are several that start with IH and the one right about that about proportioning

then go to admin/tools/IH manager (making sure it is installed...) - then pull up and display products using the IH manager - at the bottom of the page it will show you the small medium large images - IH does not use the same image folders as standard zencart

---
my non-expert offer to other folks having issues is to reinstall the files, make sure you don't have any old files, (IH manager will look for you from admin) and see if that helps -- IH is quirky for me too but I'm a total convert now.

Just curious for those using IM 3, do your images open up all the way? They don't seem to when using NS. I have a fresh install of zen. HELP! I would like to get this issue resolved.

this may have been talked about previously - but may be helpful to folks struggling to get IH functioning.

On my site I had the IH imagehover jscript in includes/templates/template_default/jscript. When I created a new jscript folder in template_MYSITE - and placed a different jscript file from another contribution in there as you're supposed to do per overrides - the IH jscript didn't load - thus no hover affect. My experience anyway.

I recently installed IH2 with Zen 1.3. Everything seems to be working except I can't view the large images. I tried accessing the image directly in the browser, but I get a 403 permission denied error. Then I looked to see what the permission of the files are. It appears that are being set to 0600 even though the image folder has 0777. Does anyone know why it is doing this? When I add a new product and an image (not using IH), the permissions are set fine.

1. Can you, and if so how do you change the size of the medium image ? My small image hoover displays a medium image popup nearly identical to the small image's size.

I am looking for this answer too. Any time I change the small image size to > 80 the zoom hover effect stops happening.

I would like a much larger "medium" image to appear when the zoom occurs, is this possible?

I'm not getting anywhere with IH. My images aren't being generated in the large or medium directories and every images I upload shows the same size for the small, medium and large.

I hope removing IH isn't gonna be a huge pain!

Did you turn on the proportional images setting?

Did you turn on the proportional images setting?

Nevermind...dumb question I think. Was thinking about something else I believe. Couldn't edit the message with Firefox for some reason.

[Shelia]

YES.............I went through everything again. I even removed it from the database and reinstalled it. Still nothing!

[wasana]

keep in mind that IH does not manage images like standard ZenCart - dropping images into the medium or large directory folder is not going to get picked up by IH.

I've had to use a combination of loading images via standard ZC upload from admin/catalog-products and then add additional images thru IH.

I think it is a bit quirky and may be working differently for different installs and versions (uneducated surmise) - and I've had different results over time - but use the admin/tools/ imagehandler for managing image files. they get stored in bmzcache and given the complexity of the names given them and what goes through the database I don't think you can just change the files in the directory.

image dimensions are controlled in admin/config/images

not sure if answered questions - but it sounds like people are trying to make changes to images thru FTP into directories and it isn't going to work that way (easily anyway)

not expert but playing with it regularly now - still worth the stuggle of learning curve
