There you see the code I am talking about.

On a lark, I downloaded and looked -- no such code. The file is 12 lines of code.

Thanks kuroi for your good reply. Yes I see your point. You are right.

Well seem maybe my english is not wery god which can be the case as that is my second, well third language. It can also be that you have not read my typing well enaf. My statement was that particular lines of code was missing and you stated you cant see the code. Well not quite sure what you mean with your stametement but I think kyroi explaned the case wery well. I don't have anything to ad to that.

(I am sure all know my intenstions here was only good (informative).)
I glad that the packet is OK.

I guess this is where I am supposed to ask any questions about image handler. I uploaded it and it installed successfully. I know that now when I add a product to just use the larger size pic 600 x 600 and ih2 will resize for me. My question is what do I do about the photos I already have for my products in zencart? Do I delete them and readd the large size of them? Thanks.

Image Handler works from the time you install it on already active products and products you choose to install later.

If you want your images to be larger when selecting the large image, I'd upload larger, higher quality images of your product for those products. You don't have to delete them, just change the association in the database for each product. Either via the Admin area ( Product Edit or Entry) or via phpMyAdmin. Just depends on your liking.

You are correct and it was I who was confused. Had been up too long when I made my earlier post and not thinking too straight.

I'm not familiar with the Admin Profiles module but it is not uncommon for some modules to conflict with each other. IH2 and Lightbox is another combination that seems to have problems as well.

I think , on the contrary, IH2 and Lightbox work together without any flaw, I have on occasion lightbox not produce its effect, but 99.99% all is as desired
(all 3 sites)

Page load has to complete before the JS for HoverBox or Lightbox and be initiated.

Undesired effect would be that the page loads the image URL in the browser, correct?

I installed Slimbox and haven't installed Image Handler and I could not get Slimbox to work for the additional images of a product. They boast heavily on Slimbox working with Image Handler, so could this mean that I need to install IH for things to work? If so, will the additional images I already have still work with both?

Since upgrading to 1.3.8a on our shared server account, we have been told the site is generating excessive resource usage and will soon be moved off the server. Stats given were:

CPU usage: 2.52
Memory usage: 1.19
MySQL usage: 0.2

Other than content customizations and a handful of mods, it's a pretty standard install. However when I disabled Image Handler 2 in the admin (setting "IH resize images" to "no") the page parse times do drop noticeably... when it's on they are up to 10 seconds (worst case) and when it's off they are usually under 2 seconds. Database query time is always low (< 0.5 seconds).

Has anyone else run into this problem with Zen Cart 1.3.8a on PHP5 with gd with Image Handler 2?

I have checked when IH2 is on that all images on the page are using the cached generated images (they are), and when I browse the cache directories on the server the timestamps are not new -- i.e. the cached images are not being regenerated each time the page displayed (or if they are, at least not resaved).

I did upgrade the site via a subversion branch merge and I don't believe there were direct conflicts in the IH2 files. There are no visible problems on the site with IH2 active.

Thanks for any suggestions on what could be wrong.

Here's a question for you:

When IH displays an image upon Mouseover, what is the file size of the image? Have your Images been optimized?
