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

[tophand]

The big image on the product page IS "Medium" size...
when you click on that image and get the popup, is when it becomes "Large".

I didn't think this override technique mentioned would work...
I always assume the mod that's installed takes over all functions, until it's deactivated.

But I could be wrong, it's basically the same concept as overriding templates...
it all depends on the code for IH2, and whether it's built to ignore this technique.

IH ignores images in the "Med" and "LG" folders.
If you want to use another Product image then put it in the "Med" folder.

Back in this thread is a post on how to use different images using the "Med" and "Lrg" folder with IH.

barco57, Thanks for your reply. I have tried what you suggest and in the product info page the image still is gen. by IH and then the larger popup image is created from the 'large' folder of images. I have done the same for the 'medium' folder as well thinking that it is a medium image on the product info page but still IH supplies the image for that page
Any other ideas ?

Did you clear your image cache?

I took a completely different image, renamed it to match the large image uploaded in the main directory for the product except I added _LRG and put it in the large directory and when going to the product I had the original small and medium images, controlled by IH and the large popup image was now the new one that I had uploaded into the large folder........apparently if IH finds a large image in the large folder named the same as the original main directory image it will then ignore the original large image in the main directory and use the one in the large folder. I do not know if the same theory works for the medium folder as I didn't test.

time expired to edit last post. I do not believe you can mix file types with this method of overriding. If you are using .jpg currently for the product image than the override image uploaded to the large folder must also be a .jpg To get a animated .gif to work as the override you will probably have to change the main image used for the product to a .gif

i am using v1.3.8a. i have checked all the files that image handler would overwrite and they are original.

Is it then safe for me to just copy the files and overwrite the ones that are there. or do i have to merge because of the versin difference.

i.e. it is ok for version 1.3.8a because because instructions either mention 1.3.x or 1.3.7

many thanks

I successfully installed the latest IH2 on a 1.3.8a cart. I liked it so much, I did an install on a 1.3.7 cart, but the images are not resized or have any fancy hover, "+" overlay or watermarks.

I have the same settings, image sizes, locations and template as the 1.3.8a cart that is working???

All images that are showing are the large images. The product detail page doesn't show the med image, just the text "larger image".

When viewing images in IH2 admin, they show with watermark, but no image will show in the "click to enlarge" pop-up???

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

OK,

I had Image - Use Proportional Images on Products and Categories set to 0. When I set it to 1, Use Proportional Images on Products and Categories, it started working!

So, my new question is, how do I not use Proportional Images with IH2? Or is there another way to allow IH2 to scale the height if given a width?

Thanks

I guess I jumped the gun here! When using proportional images, the height and width are the max dimensions. I was under the impression that I was setting the actual fixed height and width dimensions!

I need to go back and read Image Handling for Dummies!

So I'm good to go...

Hi
My problem is that when I install IH2 on my local apache web server everything works fine. It doesn't work on my hosted server - images are actually resized and stored in cache directory correctly, but I can't see any pictures in zen-cart.
Something is wrong with file paths - in page source I can see sth like:
<img src="bmz_cache882e49fdbf3ac072b4cb184b4b2a0570d.image.100x56.gif"...
- looks like two slashes are missing - if there was "bmz_cache/8/82e49fdbf3ac072b4cb184b4b2a0570d.image.100x56.gif" everything would work fine.
Seems like it looses slashes at some point and after long research I couldn't find at what point.

Please forgive me if this has been asked before or even if I have asked it before, as it seems familiar! I also tried searching the thread to no avail...

I have a client who wants fairly large small and medium sized images, which means the mouseover image comes out larger than normal. As a result depending on where you are on the page, such as the all products, the mouseover image appears out of view in the browser.

Is thre a way to correct this?

thank you,
