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

[gothstone]

Hi There
I have this problem with IE7 (Only when there is additional images) with a "Document Product":
http://www.mkstay.co.uk/index.php?ma...&products_id=2

We have repaired the the same problem for the "Product General":
http://www.mkstay.co.uk/index.php?ma...&products_id=1

Do you have a solution so it works with the whole of the zen cart system and not just for the single problem?

Best Regards
Franco

I tried to see what might be causeing the error, but the broken page has 64 validation errors in the XHTML! http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0
The "working" page is actualy worse at 91 errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0

Go through these errors, find the offending code with the developers tool kit, and fix it. It can be nearly impossible to troubleshoot the problems a mod may create when they are compounded by other errors.

Hello everyone,

I have found out something else about my Image Handler 2 installation. When I go to admin->Image Handler2->preview I see nothing but blank images instead of the stock images that come with Image Handler2. I did a right click on one image, clicked on "view image" and I got the following error: "/biz/biz/admin/images/ih-test.png does not exist." Notice that the "biz" folder is listed twice but in my directory tree it's really only listed once.

Any idea of what could be causing this? Could this have anything to do with the issues I'm having with IE not showing popup images?

thanks,

I suggest completly removing and reinstalling Image handler. Make sure to use its own function to remove it from the database. Also check your configure.php settings, through it these were wrong you should be having all kinds of other problems.

Hi Gothstone,
I uninstalled IH2 from the IH2 admin section. I also checked out the configure.php file. The php file was okay.... no directory dups there.

Now that I have uninstalled it and reinstalled It's not working at all now. It used to work in Firefox but not in IE. Now it doesn't work in either. I'm also using your newer javascript file.

I checked out the files that were blank before and had the dup directory in it and the double directory still shows up.

I might have overwritten some files that I had changed when I copied the IH2 files into their directories. So I'm at square one... still looking for help.

any ideas?

Well, I got things to work in Firefox again. It was a configuration issue. I had to turn "small image hotzone" in Admin->Configuration->Images to "yes". Once I did that the zoom feature works in Firefox again. Now I'm back to just trying to get it to work in IE. Still need help...

Thanks for any help,

Ok... new behavior to report. I have noticed that zoom images only works in Firefox if the "IH zoom gravity" is set to the default (Southeast). It does not work in any other position. Does that make any sense?

Just hoping to give enough information so maybe I can get the issues with IE resolved.

thanks everyone,

I have to say that i really think that the "certified mod" approach is an exceptional idea and something that the mods should genuinely consider. As far as paying something minimal (such as $1) for a mod would be fantastic if it would mean paying a dedicated programmer to be responsible for changes to the code and keeping it current and up to date.

At least, that's my one and a half cents.

I am only suggesting that the Administrators of ZC, whosoever they may be, create a body of guru volunteers which validates and Certifies the code for a given mod when installed in a 'fresh' and unmodified example of the then 'current' release of ZC.

I fully appreciate that it would be impossible to check every mod's effect on every other mod, but my suggestion would at least give the potential user some degree of reassurance in that it is clean code when used in a specified 'base' environment. Any changes in either ZC, or in a mod, would require that the mod is re-submitted for Certification.

The un-certified mods could still exist in the downloads area, but Certified mods woul be identified somehow.

This could be financed quite easily I would have thought. Let's say that each download requires that the user pays a modest sum for the right to download a 'certified' mod, say $1 irrespective of the complexity of the mod, then ZC Admin might generate quite a bit of income. This income could be used to reimburse those who are responsible for issuing the Certification!! (Personally I wouldn't object to paying $1 for a mod - many are worth much more - and I don't have a problem in the Admin using the money because it is for the benefit of all users, which is why we contribute the mods in the first place)

It's comforting to know that your mods do validate - I need to check my own modest contribution I suppose!!!

As I said before copy includes/templates/classic/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js to includes/templates/template_default/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js . I don't know why it matters but it does. I would also try (as a test) disableing your googlesyndication ads JS, it may be interfeering.

It also looks like your style_imagehover.css is corrpt. Make sure your ftp program knows that .css file are ASCII, not binary and reupload it.

Also, I got my copy from http://downloads.breakmyzencart.com/...r_2.0-zc13.zip , not the downloads section here. I would not be supprised to learn that they are slightly different.

Ok... new behavior to report. I have noticed that zoom images only works in Firefox if the "IH zoom gravity" is set to the default (Southeast). It does not work in any other position. Does that make any sense?

That file needs to go in includes/templates/template_default/jscript/ . I have no clue why, but I've never had any luck putting it in my customtemplate directory.

ZC has a problem with Javascripts.

You must put ALL the relevant Javascripts in
either your includes/templates/template_default/jscript/ folder
or in my template folder/jscript location,
not in both, because you will encounter problems if you split your scripts between these two folders.

Hi, I installed Hoverbox2 on my test site and it worked great. I then installed Image Handler2 and that works ok but now Hoverbox2 has stopped working. Has anyone had this problem before and found a solution or have I just made a mistake. My test site is here; http://www.lingerieforadults.com/
Thanks in advance for any help.

This multiple image thing seems to be problem for many people I still haven't seen a single helpful answer.
Surely one of you gurus can explain this in PLAIN ENGLISH!

Please read further.


I'm sorry I can't help you but all I am trying to do is post a help thread.
This entire ZEN forum is the most frustrating experience I have ever encountered.
When I first went to support I get directed to FAQs which are totally inadequate, don't post a solution or get you to install a plug or something which is so complicated that you get into more problems than help.
Every FAQ I read is geared to web programmers.
Anyway I tried to post a help and got a box which asked me to state my problem.
I did so and then got told I could Not because I was not registered.
Everything I wrote down was gone.
So I registered.

Twice. (Could not find help before)

Now they seem to think I am a resident genius like them and don't need help, since I can't find any place where I can post a help request.

This is the only way I could communicate with someone, by replying to another request fro help.

Who are these ZEN people that they would ask for donations when they can't even provide SIMPLE solutions to all the complications they themselves have created.

There are all kinds of articles on multiple product images but I can't get them to show.
The other people who have asked the same things I have never seem to get a satisfactory answer either.
I followed one thread where they forced me to jump to 5 other ones since they could not be bothered to repeat what someone else had supposedly done. They obviously did not follow up since each thread fizzled out.
So I am going to post this in other help requests and maybe someone will simplify this entire forum.
HELP! Means allowing someone to ask for help in a simple way. ie: Somewhere there should be a "Post your help requests here."
