Hey all,
I think I've diligently read through the forum and I'm stumped on how to solve my problem, though it appears similar to others.
I have Image Handler 2.0 installed over a Zen Cart 1.3.0.1 install.
My needs are fairly simple: I don't need IH's automatic resizing features through ImageMagick or GD, and I don't need the hover effect.
What I *do* need is to be able to upload .gif images for the small and medium views of the product, but for the large image of the product, have a .jpg graphic file. And I like the way ImageHandler's interface works for the clients.
(And, I really need to have additional images/views of the product display on the product info page but that's standard ZC feature—I will work on tweaking it all so it can display both gifs and jpegs of different sizes when I come to that bridge).
But here's the problem. Like a few of the posters have reported, all seems to be working on the admin side, but I don't get a correct path to the "large" image (the .jpg). It seems to load the small image again in the popup window.
I know uploading is working fine and the files are going to the right places through the IH interface, because I deleted the pictures before getting started to test it. They upload to the correct directories (images/subfolder, images/medium/subfolder, and images/large/subfolder). I've checked the filenames for spelling/naming convention mistakes. In the basename field, I've given the basename without a file extension (say, image), and named the uploaded files image_MED.gif and image_LRG.gif
In the Admin > Config > Images area, I've got:
- IH resize off (since I'm not resizing any images)
- IH small image filetype = GIF
- IH medium image filetype = GIF
- IH large image filetype = JPG
- watermarking, hotzone and zoom set to "no" for all fields
Use proportional sizing for images = 1 (on)
(my pics are 180x180, 180x180 and 400x400)
Other obvious snags are taken care of; I've set the permissions of images folders and bmz_cache to 777 as well.
I just don't understand why it wont read the path for the large image. Am I setting too many parameters?
Oh yes... and Ive inhereted someone else's customized template as well, which was "heavily" edited...
Thanks to all who read and/or respond. Please feel free to ask me any questions.
