Hello, I'v just installed image handler for my shop. I have many questions but i'll start with the most important one. http://server51.dayanadns.com/~itamz...dex&cPath=1_21 here, image handler seems to work just fine
i'v uploaded a small and medium image for each product.
177 x 125 px is the medium picture and it appears just fine.

but on this page
http://server51.dayanadns.com/~itamz...dex&cPath=1_29

the image is resized to a small one and we can't read the description.
the original size of the medium image in the first product is 400 x 300 or close.
why is it resized...? i cant figure this out

thanks for your time.

You'll need to pick up a large pic too - if you are showing different images for each staus - small/thumbnail , medium & large

The way zen works is it looks at the small as a default image if you are picking up different sizes (I normally just pick up one image and add additional images if needed) so if you only pick up a small and medium - t'll show the small for the "large pop up"

Hope that helps

Actually I use a small and a medium picture only for the amulets and it works as shown in the first link... the small image is not the same as the medium one. so when the small img is hovered, the medium image with details appears.
I'm wondering why i'm doing the same with the images on the second link and it doesnt work. my problem isnt that it picks up the smaller image, it actually uses the medium image uploaded but its resized way too small to see anything.

you need to change the permissions on your BMZ_CACHE folder to match your image folder in ftp. (my setting are normally 777 for images & 777 for bmz_cache - if you have linux hosting - right click on the folder and choose change permissions)

Basically image handler is not working because it can't "write" to the bmz_cache folder.

I'm sorry, but I still cannot get this working on my site. I finally gave up and just manually resized each image and uploaded it. However, I really want to get this going so I can use the hover feature.

My bmz_cache and images are both set at 755 so I know that is not my problem. Do you have any other ideas for where I may be missing something?

I wanted to add that all of the folders are showing in my FTP's zencart folder. I see the medium and large image folders. It seems like all is set, but when I go back to admin/tools, the image handler is not there

Hey all i just installed image handler 2 and i find it fantastic as i had a few people complain that my pics were to small... in particular the categories image.... So installed this mod to overcome this problem as i understand this is what image hover is....

I have been browsing through several threads looking for a solution to increase the size of the pic when you hover over it.. Now someone said in another forum to increade the product info size.. now that worked but it increased the size of the products pic which i dont want.

Now my question is it possible to increase the size of the pic displayed when you hover over a product and not to increae the size in the product info display?

Also how would i go about removing the product heading from the pop up hoiver image?

Thanks

Hi
Let me start by saying - I am a newbie to Image Handler2, PHP and CSS and have a question.

I used EZ Populate to upload my inventory. Noted the image as
file name medium than the path to the image - name ending in _S (as shown as my small image in configuration). The image handler shows the image in small and large but not medium. Here is what I tried -
1. Resizing the small image to the size of the image I want the medium to be, as I have set sizes in the admin/configuration/images area. Didn't work.
2. Uploaded an image - file name ending _M and reloaded the small at the correct size and medium at the correct size.

Do I have to go back and manually load all the mediums thru the Tools/Image Handler 2 area? I did that with my kit section but really don't want to do it for all the fabric.

Here is the link to the area that I am "playing" with.

Also - since I am using Image Handler - Do I have to keep my images in "medium" and "large" folders separately? or can I just have one folder (ie Benartex/Frosted_Flakes) with images ending in _S, _L and _M if needed?

TIA

With IH you only need to upload "1" image, the largest image you want to display. IH will create the medium and the small image from this image based on the settings you have in Admin-->Configuration-->Images. (to see what settings, search this thread for my name, about 4-6 pages back)
You don't have to add _s, _L or _M to any image.
You don't use the medium/large folders.
You can put all the images in the image folder or you can have sud-folders (ie.. images/benartex).

You do need to follow the correct image name scheme.
