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

[bigbadboy]

Similar thing for me - have IH working fine on another site, using same files but no joy with the additional images.

Have uploaded via IH and all products/ images show correctly.
Go to product info page and no additional images, no code no nothing.

I've so far spent all day today trying to get this working. Highly frustrating.

Default Re: Image Handler 2 Support
I am having issues with IH2 working on a new site I have in development. What is maddening is that I have it working fine on another site (on the same server). I have checked and I think I have all the files in the right location with the right permissions. I see all the IH2 menus and functions in my admin BUT IH2 doesn't seem to be active on the site.

I cleared out the bmz_cache, I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times. No luck. IH2 does not appear to be writing to the bmz_cache directory.

My site in dev is http://redspet.com/index.php

You can see if you click on a main product image it gives you a broken link--- like IH doesn't know to put the files in bmz_cache nor look there for them.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

For the record I am using ZC 1.3.8a, Cherry Zen template, GD Version bundled (2.0.34 compatible)

I was able to fix the main product image broken link by replacing the IH includes/modules/main_product_image.php with my original one for now until I get this figured out.

Okay, I deleted an extra jscript directory in my template_default directory and IH seems to have fired up! It is making files in the bmz_cache directory.

Unfortunately the site doesn't appear to be using the cached files! If you poke around on the site you can see that it is pulling full size images out of the image directory!!

Thoughts? Anyone have an idea here???

thanks!!

Read it, tried it, no dice. I have read close to every page in this insanely long thread. The strange thing is that I have it working with no issues on one site: 1.3.7 with Red Passion based theme but I can not get it to work in 1.3.8a with Cherry Zen.

How do I disallow clicking on the additional images from opening a larger image in another window?
As in I dont want people to click on the image and open an enlarged image

Is this a Javascript thing? cos i cant find the function anywhere

Hi can anyone help?

I keep looking at:
/includes/modules/additional_images.php

But cant seem to figure out which to remove to disable the click to enlarge

Before I try installing this one, I want to know if it will work on an already functioning store. Mine is working just fine but I am looking at this mod as a way to cut down on the amount of work my co-owner and I spend resizing the images we have from all our designers. Link to my store: GBLCreations

I know this would have worked HAD I installed it prior to opening the store but we are six months old now and have images for over 300 individual products. Each one is a unique product.

As for installing it on a test bed, I don't have one up and running. I could get one up eventually and try it.

Yes it can be added to an existing store. If you leave the lrg and med images you have already created in placed they will be used for those products, and with new products just load the largest image you are going to display into the images folder and image handler will do the rest and cache those images in the bmz_cache folder. If you want it to handle the old images also you will need to remove the small image, medium image and move the _LRG version from the large folder to the images root and remove _LRG from the filename. Anytime IH2 find a matching image name, with _MED or _LRG, in the medium or Large folders it doesn't processes them. That is considered and override of the image handler function and comes in handy in some situations.

Thanks for answering. Let me think on this and see what I want to do. I'm not sure yet cause I don't want to do anything at the moment. We just started a major sale. Liz

I've been working on the back end of our site for a couple weeks now, everything's getting to where it should be as far as layout...

I've installed IH2, and it works great! But...

I was wondering if anyone knew how to display text below the image after it's uploaded...

For example:

http://www.trueclothing.net/zen/inde...roducts_id=194

For that product, I need to make the attribute options (colorways) shown below the image for each attribute. I will have at least 2 colorways per every item on the store so adding it to the actual image is not an option. I need to either display the text description of the colorway below the image or what would be even cooler, is if I could have the main image rotate to the selected attribute before someone adds it to cart, but I'm sure that's a long shot...

Any help is appreciated, I tried searching through massive posts to find an answer, but to no avail.

Thanks
