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

[testuser]

Hi,

I installed this module recently. It works well but I would like to make some changes:

1. The zooming seems to work for images in sideboxes but not for images on product listing page and product info page. Why is that?
2. How do I zoom in bigger? At the moment the zoom is only slightly larger than the original.
3. Also, how to we insert multiple images for one product?

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

In order for the zoom to work properly, your Small Image Dimensions must match the Dimensions of the listing images ... you'll find these settings under Configuration :: Images of your Zen Cart Administration area.

Search the forum and read about 95% of it and cannot find my answer.

I want the image on mouse over to show atleast either the 450x450 image I uploaded or my 225x225 image to show a bigger image. How can I do this?

Site is fwhsdesigns. If anyone can help or point to the correct thread I would be grateful.

The size of the hover image is dependent on the dimensions of your Product Info Image dimensions found under Configuration :: Images of your ZC Admin area.

I upload only one large pic and in front page it looks small but picture size is same as large. I think it's not resizing. How can I show small pic with small size? any suggestion?

Make sure you've installed IH 2 by going to Tools :: Image Handler 2 and clicking install under the Admin tab. Then, make sure you have IH set to handle your images, this can be found under Configuration :: Images.

Hello,

Would anyone happen know what tables are modified (and how) when you install IH2? I've looked for this info and have not been successful in finding it.

I will skip the very long explanation of the troubleshooting steps i have already taken to resolve my problem, but i'm leading to believe that this is where my issue is.

Thanks!!

No tables are modified which is why you can install and un-install without disrupting the architecture of Zen. What problem are you having?

I have been unable to get IH2 to process both medium size and popup images. At one time, everything worked. Switching templates did not fix the problem (to see if my problem was in a file i had edited), uninstalled IH2 from the database and re-installed.... i've done a slew of troubleshooting steps.

So being fed up with not knowing why IH2 is not behaving properly, i did a fresh install of zen cart 1.3.7, went through the steps to install it into the file system, removed IH2 from the database via the admin area from the live store, then exported the database from phpmyadmin, replaced the generated DB with mine, logged in to admin, and re-installed IH2 into the DB via the admin tool.... I wound up with the same exact problem... So i was curious exactly what gets changed in the database so that i can compare the structure (when IH2 is "not installed") to that of an untouched copy generated by the installer.

A link to your site will help.
What do you mean by process popup images? Not working at all?
On your medium images your getting no image at all?

Here's some things to look for to see if IH is working ... keep in mind that IH won't resize the images if it doesn't need to.

Right click your images and look at the properties ... if the image is being pulled from the bmz_cache folder IH is working properly.

If your referring to the medium image zoom, the full functionality of that was never finished by the developer and therefore won't zoom your medium images.

Small Images are used for areas such as your sideboxes, Medium Images are your Product Info Images, and the large images are what you get when clicking for larger images. Listing Images can be set independently, but keep in mind that if you want the Small Image Zoom to function your Listing Image Dimensions must match your Small Image Dimensions under Configuration :: Images. Also, the size of the image you get on mouseover is dependent upon the size of your Product Info Image (Medium Image).

The best and easiest way to work with Image Handler is to let it do the work for you. In otherwords, upload your highest quality image when adding or editing a product and IH will generate the images for use in your cart (small and medium). Now of course, if you want different images for your small and medium images you'll need to utilize the IH manager so you can distinguish unique images for a specific product.

If your looking for some other image effects look into the HoverBox mod in my signature. It's compatible with IH2. Just make sure that IH is installed and working properly first.
