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

[countrycharm]

yes, cleared the cache. but it took only a second or less, is that normal? nevertheless, does not solve the problem.

@tophand: checked titles, but all clean as well.

oh and some more information on the configuration I'm running:
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
PHP 4.49 (could that be the problem???)
MySQL 4.1

No thats not normal. If you are on a shared sever it should have took a little bit more time than that. I would go to your sever and check the bmz_cache and make sure it is set to 777. Check and see if you have anything in there, if not then the problem is somewhere else.

That shouldn't make any difference with this module but I would upgrade if you can. Most severs give you an option in c panel under File Extension or your server may use a different language but it is their. Switch to the extension php5. Check under your store admin/tools/Server Information and make sure GD libraries
or ImageMagick are installed. Let me know.

the bmz_cache folder is full, folders ranging from 0 to 9 and a to f and in those folders all the image files...

GD libraries are installed.

I mean the weird thing is that this problem is only on some of the products I recently added, not all of them. This is what confuses me the most.
thanks for your support so far!

If your cache is working right and you cleared it you shouldn't have all those images there that fast. Clear it 2 or 3 time and check. ummm something weird going on. Have you installed any new module before you insert new products to your store?

ok, tried to clear the cache a couple times through the admin interface, but doesn't seem to work. the bmz_cache folder still contains 16 folders with each having around 300 files in there.

tried to clear it manually (just renamed the original bmz_cache dir and created a new one) but this way, the shop uses the original full-sized images and just downscales them. is that normal? shouldn't IH2 create the resized images of the requested images automatically and put them in the bmz_cache directory?

Do this, go to your store admin/tools/image_handler/admin and click where it says Remove Image Handler from database. After that re-install it the same way. Clear your cache and see if that helps any. If not we can work on other things.

Is image handler supposed to resize the main image as well as the additional images?

tried that, but still, the problem persists. what other things do you have in mind?

Sorry to keep asking the same question, but no one ever answers and every time I check back there are a few posts here that push my question back a few posts and make it unnoticeable.

I'm trying to figure out how to apply the IH2 maximum image size setting to the main image as opposed to just the additional images?

Just to explain again, I have all my main images uploaded at 700px wide by 1050px high. Which in hindsight is too large for most screens.

So, I set IH2 in admin to IH large image maximum width 550 and
IH large image maximum height 825.

Now, when I click on additional images, they open at the 550x825 dimensions. HOWEVER, when I click on the main product image, it is still coming up as 700x1050.

Anyone know why the additional images are obeying the IH2 admin settings, but the main image is not?
