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

[Get Em Fast]

Does Image Handler 2 allow for easy uploading of multiple images? How do I activate multiple images per product?

Also, I had to install it all by hand because I have a customized template. When I go to Admin > tools > Image Handler, nothing shows up. Is there a fix to this?

THANKS!

Yep, but you're not gonna like it. Do a re-install.......90% of all beginning issues with this mod start with something being wrong with the installation.......missing file, mis-placed file, etc.
So, if you just get a blank page, then something's missing, or in the wrong place....double-check.......triple check, each and every file. That page you referred to should have an install link on it, once all the files are there, and in the correct place. You can then, let it install.

O.k. Amy......done some Googling, and came up with THIS information for you. It's the php safe mode....... The PHP safe mode is an attempt to solve the shared-server security problem.
So, it looks like something that you'll have to take up with the host(s).


Hope this helps.

Thanks, the host took safe mode off, I uninstalled, cleared out all subfolders of the bmz_cache and reuploaded the .keep file, reinstalled and we're cool now. I love this mod!

It looks like everything is working, however nothing on my site has changed, I have the zoom set to yes and it isn't zooming, hovering is not working either. I am not getting any errors. Latest version of IM and ZC. Any help would be great, I have already taken it off my site and put it back on and there is no change.

Hi - I'm a comparative newbie, so please be gentle with me!!

I have read the very thorough post by Zinfandel (post No 1222 in this thread on May 19th), but I have some issues with the concept of allowing software to handle the generation of different sized images from one large 'master' file. My primary objection is that I am 100% TOTALLY confident that I can produce better-looking images than the software, so I would prefer to use the 'old' Zen Cart system, but with the added benefits of IH2. By this I mean that I prefer IH2's ability to let me add multiple images to a product, but in my case I specify the medium and large files.

I'm pretty confident that I have installed IH2 correctly (it all shows correctly, and works, in the admin) but I must say that the installation was a trifle confusing because the download from the Zen Cart download section and the download from the the author's web site differ!! One has substantially more files than the other - image-handler_2.0-zc13 has 52 files in 38 folders, whilst image-handler_2.0-zc135 has 46 files in 38 folders!!

It may well be that IH2 isn't working on the web site, because I don't get any 'hovers',
BUT... I do see the additional images!!

I am actually not too bothered about the hover, and the pop-ups certainly work, but, (and I'm getting to the point, finally, I promise) if you go to my unfinished web site here you will see there that the image for the category is located at the left side of the head of the center section, and directly under that is a second identical image.

The second (lower) image is of substantially inferior quality, because, if you look at this snippet of code for the image and pop-up

<div id="productMainImage" class="centeredContent back">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\'http://www.hohose.exphoster.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=popup_image&amp;pID=367\')">
<img src="images/medium/ElbeoRegentFront_MED.jpg" alt="Regent" title=" Regent " width="96" height="130" />
<br /><span class="imgLink">larger image</span></a>');//--></script>
<a href="javascript:popupWindow('http://www.hohose.exphoster.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=367')">
<img src="images/medium/ElbeoRegentFront_MED.jpg" alt="Regent" title=" Regent " height="130" width="96">
<br><span class="imgLink">larger image</span></a>
<noscript><a href="http://www.hohose.exphoster.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=popup_image&amp;pID=367" target="_blank">
<img src="images/medium/ElbeoRegentFront_MED.jpg" alt="Regent" title=" Regent " width="96" height="130" />
<br /><span class="imgLink">larger image</span></a></noscript></div>

you will see that the thumbnail for the image is generated from the medium-sized image!!

This is not what I require at all:

I want my pre-made, beautifully optimised thumbnail to be used for the thumbnail,
and the medium for the hover,
and the large for the pop-up!

Does anyone know how to fix this problem, please?

BTW: I have been up and down the admin settings (several times) and I cannot find anything that would modify this 'setting'.

This is just a question.
I need a mouseover for my attribute images.
I know that IH2 works for product images.
But, will it work for attribute images?
I only have one option name: color, and lots of colors.
Since they don't render very well in small images (some of those colors are complex), I need customers to hover on the small ones and popup a medium image.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I may have found a fix for the bad behaviour of ie6 by pushing the zoom image too high nearly off the page, when clicking on images at the bottom end of a lot of picture product listings.

Its a simple mod to the ih2 jscript file...
http://forums.breakmyzencart.com/t10...om-images.html
I remember the odd post here a while back, similarly complaining the zoom window goes too high sometimes

I think that a fix has been found for this is fantastic! tops!

However, I am a newbie to all of this. Especially all the codings....
Call me dumb or what ever you like (Sorry I am just learning) But I really need a step by step instruction as to how this fixed script is placed in the script file.

I appreciate any time you can offer
Cheers

I'm pretty sure it will work with attributes as well. I don't think it distinguishes between the two.

This is a bit off topic, and kinda weird since I don't have children but...

doublebuckets sells cloth diapers. How cool is that!?!

I know, weird, but I'm old enough to remember when they were the only thing around. Changed a few in my day as a brother and uncle.

Gotcha, thank you very much.
Will start testing ASAP on this great tool.

Hi all, I have some trouble with image handler on my zen-cart configuration.

1. if I check the error.log of apache I have

[Sun Jun 03 22:20:00 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /var/www/bmz_cache, referer: http://localhost/kraehend/artigianato/admin/image_handler.php?page=manager&products_filter=24&current_category_id=20

but the bmz_cache is located in another place on my linux box, how I can change this?

2. the image on the admin aren't show correct, my web site is located at

http://localhost/kraehend/artigianato/bmz_cache

but the images on the admin interface are searched at

http://localhost/bmz_cache


how I can correct that?

thanks for any advice, dav
