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

[tophand]

Well I have read through most of this thread and havnt seen anything that has solved my issue.

I have installed image handler version 2.0 onto my 1.38a zen-cart store.

When I go to Admin/Tools/Image Handler/Preview

ALL 9 images are exactly the same size 642 X 362 no resizing what soever.

My GD info shows as follows

GD Support  enabled  
GD Version  bundled (2.0.28 compatible)  
FreeType Support  enabled  
FreeType Linkage  with freetype  
FreeType Version  2.2.1  
GIF Read Support  enabled  
GIF Create Support  enabled  
JPG Support  enabled  
PNG Support  enabled  
WBMP Support  enabled  
XBM Support  enabled

I tried editing my bmz_image_handler_conf.php to use 1 to force GD and that did not work either

$ihConf['noresize_key']         = 'noresize';         //files which contain this string will not be resized
$ihConf['noresize_dirs']        = array('noresize', 'banners'); //images in directories with these names within the images directory will not be resized.
$ihConf['trans_threshold']      = '90%';              //this is where semitransparent pixels blend to transparent when rendering gifs with ImageMagick
$ihConf['im_convert']           = '';                 //if you want to use ImageMagick, you must specify the convert binary here (e.g. '/usr/bin/convert')
$ihConf['gdlib']                = 2;                  //the GDlib version (0, 1 or 2) 2 tries to autodetect
$ihConf['allow_mixed_case_ext'] = false;              //allow files with mixed case extensions like 'Jpeg'. This costs some time for every displayed image. It's better to just use lower case extensions
$ihConf['default']['bg']        = 'transparent 255:255:255';
$ihConf['default']['quality']   = 85;

Every aspect of IH works except the resizing. When I hover over an image it just shows the original size image I have uploaded. Obviously this is an issue.

I have reinstalled a few times, cleared cache and my bmz_cache folder is 777.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
I don't know if it's a right place to ask for help
Anyway, yesterday I installed IH. Everything worked fine. But tonight on my web site (http://www.iseboutique.com/store/ it's a white space on the top of some pages and pop-up picture at the left top corner. If you go to Embroidery Designs and pick up the design, this white space will appear in a couple seconds. After the mouse is on the picture, you will see the pop-up window with this picture on the top.
So this white space is only on the pages with pictures. But I added additional images only for one product so far.
I haven't change anything neither before IH installation, no after that.
Any ideas what it can be? If i didn't explain well enough, I will try to answer all questions about that. Please, help
Thank you for your help.

Your are missing IH files, double check that you upload "All" IH files and that they are in the correct folders.
You have the correct permissions on bmz_cache folder?

You don't need to put any suffix.
Just Browse for the largest image and add it.
Always choose default, not medium or large to browse.
The first image you add will be your main image, that one will not hover.
Then add additional images, IH will rename them according to the name of the main image, adding _01, _02, etc. and will save to the root of the image folder.
You configure the resizing in Admin --> Images, as well as the other settings.
Preview never worked correctly for me, there have been lots of posts for that, but no fixes so far.
I find this mod. extremely easy to use, only users complicate it in their minds, adding suffixes, names, etc.
The gist of IH is that it does all that for you.

This is what I was doing, I added prob. 20 pictures.
I would upload the largest choice as my "default" picture. The only picture that would have the water mark in this method is my product info picture.
However if I bring the item (product up) up load a picture as let's say fred_MED.jpg .... it works ....... makes all three sizes, water marks on everything.
If I up load fred.jpg in IH as default ... water on product info only. Unless I upload addtional pictures ... then all the addtional pictures will have the water mark. I know this is not how it is supposed to work... but this is the only way I can get it to work unless someone knows why it is acting so crazy for me :)

If you upload fred_MED.jpg as your main product image, and select the default, that will be your base image.
The additionals will be named fred_MED_01.jpg, etc.
IH doesn't care about that suffix, it just sees a name.

The only file i remember changing was the footer file but i have now changed it back to normal.
It still does not work. I will keep trying.

With IH on, you are not getting the right side boxes correct?
Just troubleshooting now.
Try turning off 1 right side side box and then see if the page loads with IH on. Repeat.

If you have a look now i have uploaded the IH but still not working.

You can see if you click on one of the categories you can see that it it working but only on the index page www.asiaradiosales.com it won't work.
Oh man this is driving me crazy.
