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

[Xtreeme]

Still looking for the answer to this problem... not able to see the images at all when I installed the IH2

Its here (bmz_image_handler_conf)

Its located at zen cart/includes/extra_configures/bmz_image_handler_conf

edit this part

$ihConf['im_convert'] = ''; //if you want to use ImageMagick, you must specify the convert binary here (e.g. '/usr/bin/convert')
$ihConf['gdlib'] = 2; //the GDlib version (0, 1 or 2) 2 tries to autodetect

gdlib should be 1 or 2. (1 is ON 2 is auto) and imagemagic should be empty like above.



Now thats odd I looked for the poster, but alas it maybe my issue no? This is right out of my store. I choose imagemagic yet it says " which means none..........hmmmm. Maybe my problem?

Posted by Xtreeme: yes I definatly looked at your site. And its just what were trying to do. For some reason Im having issues with the top image only. The actual link to image is.........empty! Which is the end result of some problem. Any advice on settings IS appreciated as Im lost here. I could give screen shots too of certain settings if need be. Thanks alot for helping me with this.

Xtreem....what I'm getting when I click on the top image, is that it's (ZenCart, I think) trying to show the 100x100 image, again, and IH won't let it display, and visa-versa, ZenCart won't let IH show it's image.

O.k. You've almost got it. That top image is set at 300x300, so your image will have to be gigger than that. Say 500x500, with IH's maximum width and height set at 500x500. That's just to show one image, then larger on mouse-over, then even larger on click.

(my image is 600x600)


If you want to show one small image, then a bigger, different medium image on mouse-over, and yet, another different and larger image on click, then............
get your 3 images ready. We'll say that they're for product x, and name them accordingly......

1. Productx.gif (100x100) Default
2. Productx_MED.gif (300x300) IH placeholder Medium
3. Productx_LRG.gif (500x500) Large

Then upload them (one at a time, to avoid errors) to IH in the appropriate boxes.

Then set ZenCart image settings to match (as I posted earlier).

Sorry for the confusion I want one image. That will go from small to medium to large. Small on index page. medium at product view and large when zoomed.

If it's not that, your server hosting may not give you access to use the ImageMagick binary on their servers -- you could try changing IH2 to use the GD library and see if that works.

How do I switch to the GD library??

Like I said above you change the imagemagic line to " so its empty and the GD should be 2 (or 1 to force on if 2 fails)

I changed the widths all to 0 like recomended. Now the popup dosnt have the x meaning no image but still shows nothing. Its just the background image now. See once

Hi, I posted some posts above but got no answer to my question, maybe nobody saw it.
I would like to know if it is possible to have some text at the side or top or bottom in the popup image and if yes how.

I am setting and e-commerce for a friend of mine and when I mouseover an image I would like to have a desciption of that, more of what I can write in the page itself.

Here is the page:

http://marcap.info/lozza/zen-cart/in...ex&cPath=77_78

When I mouseover I would like to have a larger image and a few lines with it. (IH it is not installed yet, waiting for an answer first).

Thank you

Like I said above you change the imagemagic line to " so its empty and the GD should be 2 (or 1 to force on if 2 fails)

I dont know where those things are to change them is what I'm getting at.

Is it a file or the admin>config>image. Be a little more specific if you could.

thanks

"Is it a file or the admin>config>image. Be a little more specific if you could."

Its a file. You ftp the file to your desktop then edit it. The files location is

(shop folder)/includes/extra_configures/bmz_image_handler_conf




Once you have that file open to edit it look for this line near top

$ihConf['im_convert'] = ''; //if you want to use ImageMagick, you must specify the convert binary here (e.g. '/usr/bin/convert')

make sure it looks like that, nothing should be inbetween "


Now look for this line below it

$ihConf['gdlib'] = 2; //the GDlib version (0, 1 or 2) 2 tries to autodetect

and make sure its set to 2. Now upload it back to the server. If setting 2 fails try setting 1.

Update to my problem. I fixed it. It wasnt IH2 at all. It was a template file she changed for zen cart.

What I did was copy store to my uniform server. Put zc_install folder back in. Copied the original zen cart files overtop the others, so as to replace the same named folders/files. Then made a db with same name/pass in uniform as live server. Then ran update on zc_installer.

All in all I took it apart one folder at a time, till I got to one. Then one found the one file (after a long while).

It was includes/templates/template_default/popup_image/tpl_main_page

at first I was like you

then I was instanly more like

Thanks for the help everyone Im so glad its working for her now.
