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

[MamaT]

Another question. I was searching looking for a way to remove the titles from my hover image and found this statement:

I'd personally suggest removing the word T-Shirt from all your products though as the title tag is pretty significant for SEO purposes,

Can someone explain this to me? I don't know what SEO is? Is it a bad idea to remove those titles?

SEO = Search Engine Optimization, and yes it is a bad idea to remove those titles - web standards require them (otherwise your site won't validate), they provide people with images turned off, or using browsers that don't display them with the onlyt information they'll gte about what should be there, and you'll move lower in the search engine rankings without them.

Hope that helps as a quick explanation. As this isn't really the place for discussion of SEO, if you want to know more I recommend searching the site for more closely-related threads.

After searching this thread, I've also checked the jscript file, AND the images are showing under additional images of admin/tools/imagehandler2.

UPDATE: I followed the instruction of post #3 here, and my additional images are now showing

As stated, I was looking for ways to take those titles off and saw that info. I just didn't know what that meant, and how it would affect me if I did remove them. I'm sorry if this wasn't the proper place, and I do thank you for taking the time to answer for me =)

Ok this has probably been answered but I did a search for PNG in the thread and couldn't find anything. In one of my stores all PNG's come up with Red X's after installing Image Handler 2. Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing. Also in a store I sell in, Image Handler 2 doesn't work with animated previews, is there a way around that?

I give up! The hover was something I thought would be great but I can't get png's to show up at all on the product pages (they are just red x's) and on individual designer pages there's no hover at all. Guess I just wasn't meant to have this mod lol

What changes did you make in admin-->configuration--->images?

Animated gifs is not supported by GD libraries or ImageMagick via Perl. A upcoming version of Perl should support animated gifs.

Have you double check that you uploaded "All" the IH files?

A link helps us help you.
