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

[misty]

ok ive installed that, but i still havent figured out how to make my addition images sit nicely alligned with my main image, and make the product name and description start underneth the main image, not halfway through the page.
Any ideas?

This is not really the forum for what you require..only deals
with Image Handler 2. Suggest you post in forum that deals
with customisation/css.

Barco57 - Thanks for that info. Does this only work on the featured products or am I missing something. It works on the featured products, but thats it.

Hi IH2 Community,

I've been pulling my hair out searching for a solution to my IH2 problem. Here's the issue:

When clicking the small thumbnail image to bring up the pop-up window with the large image (store mode), the large image displayed is not the bmz_cache image but the default image (not scaled). Clicking properties of the image show that it's the image from the Image folder not the bmz_cache folder. Now when in the Admin -> Tools -> Image Handler2 area, I can click on the large image and a window pops-up with the cached version properly scaled to the correct size. Clicking properties of this image I see the path to the bmz_cache folder and the correct scaled pixel dimensions.

Here's some important information:
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
v1.3.8 [2007-12-20 21:02:18] (Version Update 1.3.7->1.3.8)
v1.3.7 [2007-12-20 21:02:08] (Version Update 1.3.6->1.3.7)
v1.3.6 [2007-12-20 21:02:00] (Version Update 1.3.5->1.3.6)
v1.3.5 [2007-12-20 21:01:51] (Version Update 1.3.0.2->1.3.5)
v1.3.0.2 [2006-07-14 15:19:06] (Fresh Installation)

Using Image Handler 2.0 for Zen-Cart v1.3.x

ImageMagick & GD librariesis installed

Here's what Ive done to try to fix this problem:

1) Removed Image handler from the database

2) Deleted the bmz_cache directory and individually deleted all IH2 files from the server.

3) Manually uploaded all individual files/directories from the IH@ download (Image Handler 2.0 for Zen-Cart v1.3.x) to the server.

4) Coppied the contents of includes/templates/template_custom into my custom templates folder.

5) Went to admin->Tools->Image Handler 2->Admin and clicked "Install Image Handler".

The behavior of the large image displayed is the same...

Does anyone have any ideas what else I can try to fix this problem?

Hello,

two proposed small contributions :
1. To avoid conflict between IH2 and some other mods. Specifically swap_image_mouseover.
2. To avoid the annoying display of the "standard img alt" text above the "fancy hover" popup image.

Edit functions_bmz_image_handler.php and :
1. Modify $parameters line (1st // CdLB comment)
2. Add the "if clause" after second //CdLB comment :

    if ($ih_image) { 
      $src = $ih_image->get_local();
      // CdLB - 03/2008 - correct a bug that erase $parameters in some case
    //Before : $parameters = $ih_image->get_additional_parameters($alt, $ih_image->canvas['width'], $ih_image->canvas['height'], $parameters);
      $parameters .= ' ' . $ih_image->get_additional_parameters($alt, $ih_image->canvas['width'], $ih_image->canvas['height'], $parameters);

      $parameters = $ih_image->get_additional_parameters($alt, $ih_image->canvas['width'], $ih_image->canvas['height'], $parameters);

        // CdLB - 03/2008 - set $alt to '' if image is managed by IH for fancy image hover only
        if ($ih_image->sizetype == 'small') {               
               $alt = '';
            }
    } 

That's it.

            }
    } 

That's it.

Instead of altering the code to remove the Heading in the popup, this would go in your CSS:

.trailimage h1 {display:none;}

That might not be the actual style but it's correct other than that. This is actually a better way of removing the headers, it leaves the ALT tags in place for SEO purposes.

Did you set the large image size in admin/configuration/images?

Hi tophand,

Yes, image settings in admin/configuration/images are set to:

IH large image maximum width 750
IH large image maximum height 550

Any other ideas would be appreciated. I'm getting desperate...

Hello, I relatively new to zencart so please bear with me.

I just installed IH2 and all seemed well when I left my small image sizing @ 125 x 125 (the way I had it before installing IH2), then I changed the small image size to 80 x 80 and I no longer have any hovering effect....change it back to 125 x 125 and all is well. I have no idea what to do to correct this. You can see at http://www.selfdefensesupplies.net

Just would like to clarify a few other things that I'm sure others are wondering and I could not find the answer in the forum:

1. When installing ALL the files via ftp should I be creating a custom folder for each of the areas where the files should be installed so when I upgrade there will be no issues.

2. If My default images are lets say 300 x 300 then when the larger image is displayed it will only show a max of 300 x 300..correct. If I want a larger image to show I will need to change all of my default images to 600 x 600 and re-upload.?

3. When I re-uploaded some of my images after resizing they were over 120 kb, will this be a problem in page load time?

Sorry for all of the questions.

Regards,
Tom
