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

[kevinmc3]

I see "Remove Image Handler from database". Is this same as Remove? I'm a bit shaky on removing this as the risk of removing/deleting all images I've installed via IH.

I have been using the normal zc image style. _MED & _LRG. I installed IH2 about 2 months ago and I love it. No more making diff sizes and dealing with all that headache.

Today I decided to shrink down my image dir to save server space. Downloaded my image dir, batched all large and medium to remove the _med and _lrg.

Moved all of the "used to be _med's" into my (local) images dir to overwrite the smaller ones and then again with the "used to be _lrg's".

Now I have one dir /images/ with all of my largest images there. So there isn't an images/large or images/medium now. Just /images/.

I uploaded the new images directory to the server and gave the old one a different name so it wouldn't be used but I still have the backup. Now it seems like it's working but. . .

Why do the medium and large images break when I go to admin --> images and remove the _LRG and _MED from where it says large image directory and medium image directory?

Shouldn't that work? Doesn't IH2 know what to do? Should I go to admin-->tools-->image handler2-->admin and clear the Image Cache?

If I'm just way off please explain how this transition should be made.

Thank you,
John

I'm really not sure what will happen when you uninstall this mod since you have used it to bring in new images. If you don't get a solid answer as soon as you would like, I would recommend a full DB backup and then uninstall it. If it totally breaks install your back up.

Let us know what you decide and what the outcome is please.

Backup, backup, always backup!

You could have a corrupt image.

Using the link "Remove Image Handler from database" doesn't delete anything.
All it does is unhook IH from the database.
After doing this click on the link "Clear Image Cache".
Double check by FTPing or using your host control panel and looking inside the bmz_cache folder. It is safe to delete all sud-folders/images in bmz_cache folder. (IH will create all folders/images on the fly when needed.)

After clearing/deleting the cache then click the link to "install Image Handler".

Could someone please take a look at the following?

Imagehandler is fantastic. But I would like the nice javascript hover. I've set everything to 'yes' in the config/images for IH but still doesn't seem to be working.

You only need one. I would remove the one red.

I am moving to a new virtual server and cant get IH2 to install. I install a fresh load of ZC 1.3.8 and then IM2 1.3.x and copy all default mods from contribution. I get a blank page from both admin and home.
If I remove functions_bmz_image_handler.php admin will come up, of course IH2 won't work, but thought it might help point out problem area.

The new env has the following: PHP 5.0.4 GD 2.0.28

This runs perfectly on another host with PHP 4 ... Any Suggestions??
Thanks in advance.

Did you double check to see that you uploaded "All" the IH files?
Not missing this one?

/includes/extra_functions/functions_bmz_image_handler.php

Thank you,

Have you tried this?
Shouldn't hurt if you hadn't yet.

I did go and clear the cache for IH2, didn't seem to change anything tho.
I go to admin>images and remove the "_LRG" and "_MED" for the large and medium image extensions and it breaks every image that isn't small.

I don't get it. I mean image handler isn't using the extensions and I don't have any images now that have the extensions in their name. It's not broken if I just leave it alone but I really want to know why this is happening.


Thanks,
John

Ok, I get what you are doing.

You do need to leave the extensions "_MED" & "_LRG" in place as IH does use them. IH adds the extensions on the fly so Zen-Cart knows what image size to use in the correct place.

Thanks, but I had this before and it did not work. I only added the second to be sure it was definitely pointing to the right location. All files are uploaded.
