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

[dealbyethan.com]

Hi Kuroi,

I think the main problem is the product has a very short original image filename (tee.jpg). I am worried that IH2 might mess up quite a lot of my other product images. I will have to check but so far I found only one. I name a lot of my product images according to brands or styles. So if I have 3 different types of CK T shirts. All of the images will start with ck-tee-, for example:

For 1st product titled as CK Tee V Neck, I have these pictures.
ck-tee-v-neck.jpg (original)
ck-tee-v-neck-2.jpg (uploaded and displayed in description)
ck-tee-v-neck-3.jpg (uploaded and displayed in description)
So according to your explanation, the uploaded ck-tee-v-neck-2.jpg and ck-tee-v-neck-3.jpg will become additional images of the original ck-tee-v-neck.jpg. But I checked some products, this does not seem true.

For some products, say 2nd product titled as CK Tee Long Sleeve, I have these pictures.
ck-tee-long-sleeve-3.jpg (original)
ck-tee-long-sleeve-2.jpg (uploaded and displayed in description)
ck-tee-long-sleeve.jpg (uploaded and displayed in description)
Will the uploaded ck-tee-long-sleeve-2.jpg and ck-tee-long-sleeve.jpg become additional images of ck-tee-long-sleeve-3.jpg?

This is nothing to do with Image Handler. It's how the underlying Zen Cart code recognises an additional image.

For 1st product titled as CK Tee V Neck, I have these pictures.

Provided you have entered ck-tee-v-neck.jpg as the image for the product, and have not changed the additional_images module in Zen Cart, this is how it works, except that it doesn't link the images together. What happens is that when the product info page is called, the additional images module then trawls your images folder for any images that start in the same way as the product image and calls the additional images template to display them. Do you have actual examples where this doesn't appear to be working?

I'm not sure what yuou mean by uploaded and displayed in description. Do you mean that you have embedded them in the product description? In any case, if ck-tee-long-sleeve-3.jpg has been entered as the product's image then ck-tee-long-sleeve-2.jpg and ck-tee-long-sleeve.jpg will be ignored as additional images as their base names ck-tee-long-sleeve-2 and ck-tee-long-sleeve and not extensions of ck-tee-long-sleeve-3.

Hi Kuroi,

Thanks for your explanation. I am starting to getting a better understanding on how additional image module on ZenCart works and the problem I am having is not due to IH2.

Provided you have entered ck-tee-v-neck.jpg as the image for the product, and have not changed the additional_images module in Zen Cart, this is how it works, except that it doesn't link the images together. What happens is that when the product info page is called, the additional images module then trawls your images folder for any images that start in the same way as the product image and calls the additional images template to display them. Do you have actual examples where this doesn't appear to be working?

ck-tee-v-neck.jpg is the image for the product. I have not changed the additional_image module. When I said the additional image module did not work, I mean I didn't see additional images in the product info page. Could this be because I put the pictures in /images/ck folder instead of in /image folder? A good example can be seen here:

Have you made sure you upload "all" the IH files and are not corrupt?
You are missing a stylesheet.
Right now IH is not working on your site, so have you installed it from the admin?
Admin-->Tools-->Image Handler-->Admin
If installed then click the link to uninstall.
(Note: You are not deleting any files by doing this)
After the page refreshes, you can click the link to install.

Thank your for your answer...
I deinstalled ih2 and uploaded all files again (after I have downloaded them again).
Than I installed it via admin as you described and uploads new images via admin/imagehandler2 .... but no better quali. I have imagemagick installed on our server and wrote $ihConf['im_convert'] = '/usr/bin/convert'; into the bmz_image_handler_conf.php....

don't know, what I could do more.....

I had this same problem as these two other users, just wanted to post the fix I found (simple) in case it helps anyone else. My IH2 simply stopped working one day, and I got this same message "No Image Handler information found."

After backing up everything, I tried the easiest thing first - in the IH manager screen, there is a link that says "Install Image Handler." I tried that (even though it WAS previously installed) and voila - back to working as normal. Thank goodness.

Hope this many help anyone else with same problem.

Best,
patrick

Everything was working great - but now my IH2 manager has stopped working - from admin/tools/image handler I get "No Image Handler information found." - if I go into IH Manager to pull up a product, the category shows but then if I use the dropdown it bounces back to IH admin screen.

The only file used by IH that was changed recently was the html_output.php - I added rollover button affects. The site works fine - both IH and rollover buttons but IH2 Admin is not working....

(this is killing me I've got about 50 products with multiple images I need to get loaded)

advice? ideas?

edit: well, at least I can now use the traditional zencart approach of using FTP to add LRG and additional images - whic IH does optimize - this did not work when I initially installed the contribution... I still recommend IH to people but it is quirky....
I have this EXACT same issue, any fix for this yet?

You missed bmz_image_handler_conf.php ... check and make sure it's there. Make sure you didn't miss it under the includes folder as well.

nah.. the files are uploaded I didn't miss any files I checked that thrice!!!!

[testuser]

nah.. the files are uploaded I didn't miss any files I checked that thrice!!!!

Check and make sure this file exists in both the admin and store includes folders.

[Xaria]

Checked again... The file is present in both admin and catalog folder.

I just upgraded to 1.3.8 (from 1.3.7.1) and I'm no longer getting my watermarks on the medium and large images. The watermark images are there. Any thoughts?
