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

[sooraj]

Hi,
installation seems fine..But i don't get zoon effect on mouse over.
Only error i faced when installed was that .keep file was unable to upload to server.
Is this causing problem?
Can pls help

i GOT FEW DOUBTS:

1. Do need to upload all the image files one more time?
2. After installation do need to do anything extra?

Will the zoom work only for featured/ special products?? doesn't work for all products?? or sub categories?

Greetings,

We have a unique situation and see it is linked to Image Handler.

We have 1 major category. Then under this category sub categories. Under one of these sub categories, we have another sub category.

Just recently I added a new item under this 2nd level sub category. I used Image Handler to add the image this 2nd level sub category disappeared. (When we add images we only add 1 image for the small and 1 image for the large. We do not use the medium. )

Now when I say disappeared, you could see the 2nd level sub category on the site but when you click on it you get a PAGE NOT FOUND error and the sitemap is displayed.

We removed all the images from the products on this 2nd level sub category (except from 1 product) and this 2nd level sub category shows PERFECTLY.

We can add images to each product in this 2nd level sub category if we do it inside of the product editing area. When we add the images here we do not get the Image Handler light box effect and the 2nd Level sub category DOES show.

Ex. of 2nd Level Subcategory.

Accessories (Main Level)--->Adhesives (1st level sub category)---> Tapes (2nd level sub category)--->Individual Product Listings

If we create another 2nd Level Sub Category with a different or same name "Tapes" and move the Individual Product Listings into this new 2nd level sub category, the items do not display. However, it will still show from the main page as being an active and "in use" category.

I hope this makes sense.

Has anyone had this problem? What is the fix to this problem? All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You're right - here it is: http:www.shopabgifts.com

Thanks.

You did not upload all the files for IH.
Your missing the jscript_imagehover.js file that should be in [FONT=monospace]your [/FONT]templates/AB_TPL/jscript folder.
For your additional images your not using the correct naming scheme.
You have a product called "Charlotte City Clog".
So if the main product image is named CharlotteClog.jpg then all additional images for that product has to be named:
CharlotteClog_01.jpg
CharlotteClog_02.jpg
CharlotteClog_03.jpg
CharlotteClog_04.jpg
You have to use this naming scheme if your uploading using ftp.
If you use IH to upload images for a product, IH will auto rename the images correctly.

A link to your site will help....
But the chances are good that you did not upload all the files needed for IH.
Did you upload the jscript_imagehover.js file that should be in your templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript folder?

Sounds like your talking about 2 different mods, IH and Light Box.
Which one was installed first and did everything work right before installing the other mod?
With IH you only have to upload "1" image.

Remember that a lot of things can be controlled in the style sheet.
In this case look at style_imagehover.css
While you can't remove the text, you can hide it.
Can change the font color to match the back ground or what I did was change the font size.

font-size: 100%;

to

font-size: 0%;

Thanks for the fix Mark. I wanted to remove the text as well and your fix worked just great!

there is a folder called "shopad" that came with the distribution - but i can not find any explanation for it....

Unless you need the Spanish Language version, I would use version 2.0 v0916.
It is has the date of Sep 16 2006.
This is the one I use just fine with my 1.3.7 Zen-Cart.
Hopefully the unknown person that uploaded the latest(?) version will chime in sometime soon.

Do does that mean you think there might be something funky in Version: 2.0_for_137?

Do I need to be concerned?

[kuroi]

I don't think so. It looks to me as though the person who uploaded it was working on a site where for security reasons the admin area had been renamed to shopad, but then when this has been packaged up, both and admin and a shop_ad version sneaked into the distro and since most of the heavy loading for Image Handler takes place in the Admin, this has doubled the size of the package.

Shopad looks to me to be the original code and Admin the one into which the Spanish language has been added.

A very quick glance at the Sep 16th and Oct 21st versions suggests that the Oct version is built on the Sep version and apart from the Spanish language folder, also has some minor tweaks to the additional_images module to bring it into line with Zen Cart 1.3.7. So both have the javascript changes that tophand implemented.

My recommendation would be to use the latest version, but throw away the shopad folder. It doesn't look dangerous, just redundant.
