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

[holdika]

I believe testuser wanted you to find a much easier fix.
So....

How are you uploading your additional images?
Are your additional images named correctly?
What template are you using?
A link helps us help you.

figured out the problem. ...... it looked like the images have been renamed correctly, but not. The original image was uploaded with the capital .JPG extension and the additional images with the lower case extension of .jpg ....this is where the problem was....

Thank you so much for your time


Yeay it's FIXED

Any Chance there is an addon for using the RSS Feed contribution?

No matter what I do, there is a linked image that you can see and swipe without a watermark.

Hi,

Just installed IH2 on our 1.3.7.1 cart and it's working great. Brilliant contribution! But I had some minor issues:

1) couldn't get zooms working on category product listings (but worked on New Products, Featured Products, etc.)
2) couldn't get zooms working on medium (product page) images

After pulling apart the IH code, I learned some stuff that might be helpful to other IH users, which I couldn't find in the documentation at BreakMyZenCart. (Apologies if this has already been posted...I haven't read through all 215 pages of this thread to find out, and can't seem to find anything relevant by searching.)

Problem #1: ImageHandler handles three "sizetypes" of images: "small", "medium" and "large". It determines which sizetype it's working with in two ways:

1) for medium and large images, it searches for "_medium" and "_large" in the filenames
2) for small images, it checks to see if the width and height of the image are IDENTICAL to the "Small Image Width" and "Height" set in Admin > Configuration > Images. If the dimensions are not identical, and the image is not already identified as a medium or large image, it's labelled as "generic", and no zoom behavior can be applied.

Therefore, to enable zoom behavior on ALL images (e.g., category product listings, "new product" listings, "featured product" listings, etc.), you first need to make sure that the following options MATCH the "Small Image Width" and "Height" in Admin > Configuration > Images:

Image - Product Listing
Image - Product Listing
Image - Product New Listing
Image - Product New Listing
Image - New Products Width
Image - New Products Height
Image - Featured Products Width
Image - Featured Products Height
Image - Product All Listing Width
Image - Product All Listing Height

Problem #2: I discovered that the IH get_additional_parameters() function in includes\classes\bmz_image_handler.class.php, which adds the zoom behavior to images, checks to see if the current image sizetype allows zooming (an option set for small and medium images in Admin > Configuration > Images). However, it's limited to sizetype == 'small' on the previous line, excluding the possibility that medium images can have zooms.

I changed this sizetype != 'large', so that the only images that are excluded from having zooms are large ones.

Once that was working, and I had zooms on both small and large images, I realized it was pretty silly to zoom the "No picture available" pictures. I made some minor tweaks in the IH files to prevent zooms on these default pictures. I also tweaked the main_product_image template so that if a zoom is applied to a medium image, it does not also show the default ZenCart "larger image" caption and link to the popup (which seems redundant).

Here's my tweaks as a patch. Would love it if somebody could download and test these changes and let me know what they think!

Might be a problem with the LightBox mod.
Have you check out the LightBox support thread?
While I don't use the LightBox, I do know that people use both LightBox & IH together.

well yes, but i made some changes recommended from the lightbox thread and it was working fine. now it just stopped working out of nowhere

I've got image handler installed and it works mostly. :)

The one place it does not work is category listings. All the images are missing. The images DO appear elsewhere for the product. Once you click on a product, the image appears from the bmz cache and when you click for the larger image an image comes from the bmz cache too.

This happened after I went to image handler admin and clicked the "Scan for old IH 0.x and 1.x original images"

What can I do to make this work correctly? The test store is at

Jus for ha ha's, try the classic template
I have seen some templates that have been re coded and miss some features.
other than that, check and double check settings in admin, IH would appear tricky to some, but I see it as more particular for settings

PS: thanks to capnhairdo for his explanation and ad on , it is important to follow IH's needs !

Maybe check your file(s) path.
You have:
http://www.crimescene.com/store/
and
http://www.crimescene.com/store-1-13-2008/
Looks like all the image point to /store/images/

This is weird.
Try to view this image, fingerprint.collection.jpg
http://www.crimescene.com/store-1-13...collection.jpg
Should get just the image, but the page reloads and now the images show.
The file path has changed from /store-1-13-2008/images/ to /store/images/.
http://www.crimescene.com/store/imag...collection.jpg
now shows just the image.

Have you check your 2 configure.php files for /store-1-13-2008/ to see if the image path is correct?

Your right in quoting the configure files, but the image path is based on the actual store directory ... You'll need to check both the admin and store configure files.

Help
I have IH2 disabled at the moment while I try and figure out what is happening..
I have installed this mod on another site before and it works fine

but when I install it on http://www.agijewellery.co.uk the images don't popup they just appear in the top left hand corner of the browser window before the header.....

Please help, where should I start looking to resolve the problem...

Kind Regards
AfterHouR

I'm sure that it's totally obvious but I'm just not seeing it, how do you define the size for the Medium images? I see the size for Large and the primary image in Configure :: Images, but I don't see anything for Medium.

Thanks,

Kyler
