Resize Image for Zoom on IH2

[christayah]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how I would go about resizing the zoom image when using IH2?

When hovering over any 'small' image on my website the zoom does not make it that much bigger...

Thanks in advance!

Well, the quick and dirty...... with image handler install we uploaded our product images in the large version that we wanted and let image handler do the work. go to configuration>images and all of the image handler settings should be on the lower half of the page. make sure IH resize images is set to yes and you can set the rest of the settings there. If your images are small to begin with though they may not look so good blown up. Go see our site and see how it worked for us

Hey barco,

I'm not sure if you understood my question or if I misunderstood you? lol


Did you check out my site? When hovering over images that are in the "featured" or "new products" sideboxes.. the image 'zoom' does not actually zoom it that much bigger than what the actual 'small' or 'thumbnail' image is.
(in IH there is small, medium, large images)

Basically what i am saying is that the zoom feature on IH is pointless at this point.

Is there a way to resize the actual 'zoomed' image?? Or maybe have the zoom use a larger image.

I hope I explained it better this time!!

I'm trying to figure this out myself and i've been nosing around in the admin settings for days and searching help threads... So, to clarify, where can i set the zoom dimensions for the mouse-over image size?

Hopefully someone will see my response regardless of the fact that this original post is from a little while back..

Thanks!

Chris, try resizing the Product Info Image to a bigger size, the zoom image will automatically resize to a bigger image too (the zoom image size = the product info size).

Hope this help.

I just installed IH2 and get this in the cart:

Warning: imagedestroy(): supplied argument is not a valid Image resource in /home/content/p/i/p/pipsmker/html/includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 531


Any idea what to do about this? Thanks!

I have IH2 installed properly (I think). Couple of issues I have.

1.) IH2 was able to put watermarks on pictures (good), but when I get to the product details page and click on the pic the pop op window pic (which is big) does not have a watermark (bad). I check my admin settings and all picture sizes are watermark enable.

2.) I can't get the zoom feature to work. I can see the "+" symbol on all pics at the bottom right corner, but when I hover over it nothing happens. The only behaivor that works is the oncllick for the pop-up window.

Great add-opn by the way.

Thanks for your help!

You read the manual, right?
Just one line near the bottom so people tend to miss it...
To save time I'll post it up.
"Note: Zooming in on medium images is not implemented, yet."

There is a IH support thread, might try there.
