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

[tophand]

Yes that is what I ened up doing.
This is not a solution though cause and not my way of working.
This kind of error should be fixed in stead of working arround, cause it can give lot of other problems in the future which could be difficult to solve.

Well I guess I have to try and figure out it later with better time.
The workarround has to do for now.

Thank you your replies.

I don't see a problem by doing this, in fact this is what I do with all my templates.

I do see your point.

But cause the problem lies in the main core overrides system it is important to have it fixed. Corrupted core features lead sto many other problems. I allready found a lot of problems cause of the corrupted override feature, like many modules were not working at all.

What I ended up doing was restored my old backup and got override feature working again. The backup did not include some of google modules, so I must add them carefully to make sure those where not the cause of the problem.

It can be that some core files just got corrupted for some reason and have nothing to do with module?

Well anyways the core files are now fixed using my backup.
Looks ok at least with my browser: http://fotonapakymppi.fi/index.php?m...ex&language=en

I am confused and now really frustrated. I thought that I was installing Image Handler tested for use, for my version 1.3.xx. I had issues and since there were no real instructions included with the module, other than copy files into appropriate folders, and merge the ones that duplicated, I did my best to do so, but even with care, I seemed to have missed something ?

I then redownloaded to make sure that I had a good copy, then recopied all of the files a second time, trying to verify my work and then noticed some differences between the 1st and 2nd attempt. It wasn't until I was scrolling through the Contrib area, that I noticed TWO versions, identically named, IH2, but one was for the 1.2.xx series, the other for the 1.3.xx series ? So now I don't know if I had the failure based on installing the earlier version, or the later version ? I reversed the install order on #2 and I am still getting 'IH This and Thats' showing in the Admin/Config/Images area ?

If anything, can someone help me to finish stripping out the remaining IH so that I can go on, without reloading ZC ? If not, can some one tell the two authors of IH2, to rename their contribs to be a little more clearer or differently, other than just a version number that ZC references in their listings ?

My reference is: ( please note that they are on seperate pages so visual triggers are low )

What's really upsetting is alot of the files have duplicate file dates, so even that makes it even harder to figure out, which ones get weeded out ?

Frustrated greatly.

1.
Don't you have backup?
If you do use the backup and reinstall the module.


2.If you dont check what files is included in 1.2 version as well 1.3 version and move them out from ZC. Do not delete incase you still need them for some reason.

NOTE you might also need to remove 1.2 and 1.3 data from database. I presume 1.2 and 1.3 IH modules has apropriate uninstall sql scripts.

After this you reinstall the module.

After this if you are unlucky you lost som merged file and some other modules stop working.
Well then you need to check the other modules install instruction what code need to be added.

Note: if you have no backup remember to backup next time.

Hello Mark, thank you for responding..
I do have many back-ups, it's just that I don't sit still until I get a response off of the forum. I keep going.. So what I am faced with is, giving up some of my valued progress to give up something that can't be found, or... ?

2.If you dont check what files is included in 1.2 version as well 1.3 version and move them out from ZC. Do not delete incase you still need them for some reason.

I have been through each file set twice, double checking to make sure that all files injected, have been removed, verifying both sets..1.2 & 1.3, all are gone.. I can't discover them via .../Admin/Developer's Tool Kit/... etc. The text within all files, seems to be gone, only the /Admin/Configuration/Images/ shows signs of Image Handler ? Are these IH lines here on a raw initial install, with no modules added ? I might be trying to beat on a live horse vs. an assumed dead ghost ? i.e.;

IH resize images
IH small image filetype
IH small image background
IH watermark small images
IH zoom small images
IH small image hotzone
IH small image compression quality
IH medium image filetype
IH medium image background
IH watermark medium images
IH zoom medium images
IH medium image hotzone
IH medium image compression quality
IH large image filetype
IH large image background
IH watermark large images
IH large image compression quality
IH large image maximum width
IH large image maximum height
IH watermark gravity
IH zoom gravity


NOTE you might also need to remove 1.2 and 1.3 data from database. I presume 1.2 and 1.3 IH modules has apropriate uninstall sql scripts.

Database Tables are void of any IH markings.. ?

After this you reinstall the module.

After all of this effort, I am hesitant on wanting to reinstall a problem child with lack of any documentation other than gloat. As you can see from my text above, I don't know if one author, corrupted another's clean-up efforts, because like I said, alot of the files are identical in date & time so it's hard to tell, except file by file, what was updated for the new version release ? If I measure the value of a mod, by the number of responses in their support forum, I probably wouldn't have installed this one, having over 3000 'replies' ?


After this if you are unlucky you lost som merged file and some other modules stop working. Well then you need to check the other modules install instruction what code need to be added.

Again, thank you for your response, and I appreciate all of the helpful thoughts and ideas, but none have cleared out the ghost Image Handler text left behind.

I have just installed IH2 and i have a few interesting bugs.

1. Suppose i have a big product list which is needed to scroll down in order to view all the products. When i hover over small products pictures without scrolling showtrail works fine. I can see the large image near the small image.
However, when i scroll down a bit i the the big picture stays in a cretin place and not near the small product picture (See Screenshot attached).

2. My website has two different languages. Hebrew (Right to Left) and English. In the Hebrew language there is a weird bug. Show trail works only for some of the pictures. On the others it just doesn't show the large picture. When i switch to English, everything works like a charm.

Hope you could help me fixing these issues.

Well could you clarify what you mean?
What is the actual problem.

[Twbeebe]

Marksu, thank you for following the issue..

I had some issues with IH2 and had to go back and reverse install IH2. I found that I may have initially installed the earlier version intended for 1.2.xx, and then over wrote it with the more recent version for 1.3.xx. After comparing all of the files in the two contribs, I noticed that there was an equivelant IH series of lines floating in the /Admin/Configuration/Images/ area after all was said and done, with all images fully crippled from any showing on any area of the test site. I di restore my backups, one level, attempting to get to an earlier version of IH2, as it had worked briefly before something went awry.

At this point, I took the version that was just showing 'place holders' and reloaded IH2 for 1.3.xx.. For the most part, at this moment, most is working, except the hover feature, the enlargement feature and some product pages.. I have reloaded Zen more than once so far and have learned things the hard way each time, I guess with out the "Zen Bible", I will flounder until I buy it and flounder until I reload ZC one more time, being way more attentive to each contrib, working it through until completion before I add another one.

I admit, 3 weeks ago, I thought the contribs were time tested and flawless to be in position, so I loaded several at one time, without cautiously following each one through.

I appologize to you, to the authors of each contrib that I have scrutinized and humbly will start over again.. or at least two or three backups back.

Right now, even though the hover is not working and I remember having to dig the resolution out for that, when I select a product, only the header appears, until I hit refresh again to get the side boxes and main page to appear.. I'll return, a stronger Zenner, soon.

Thanks to all.

Just have to say i love the mod but i recently had to debug a problem where large res images where causing the product listing page to be empty.

after following the flow for a long time with echo statements it came down to that the following function was crashing: (bmz_image_handler.class.php)

$image = @imagecreatefromjpeg($src_name);


so i found this fix:

ini_set('memory_limit', '50M');
$image = @imagecreatefromjpeg($src_name);

perhaps this can be coded into the next release ???

Has anyone tried to add the description of the product to the mouse over window? So in addition to the product title and the product Image I would like to add the product description as well.

[justMARK]

Hey,
Sorry, that was my mistake, i realised my error in uploading 3 images instead of one, as well as clearing the cache.

Thanks

HI!!!

I have the same problem.
I see the images in the Admin, but when I go on the page... nothing.

All my images are uploaded FTP and they have good naming. I wouldn't be able to see them in the IH2 Admin, nu?

What's the solution?
Thank you!
