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

Okay, the server and the site is back up.....

Ok...I give up...

I've been wrestling with Image Handler for hours. I have Zen Lightbox installed, in conjunction with Image Handler. Now...neither one work. In the product listing, the image for the product is present. Then, when you click on the product, which would take you to just that product by itself, there is a broken picture link. Then, when I click on "larger image," not only does Zen Lightbox not work, but a completely empty pop up appears. I've tried uninstalling Image Handler (uninstalling in the admin AND deleting all files associated with image handler...and replacing the necessary files from my backup like html_output.php, etc.), and I ended up with an assortment of yummy errors, most of which were fatal. This post may not be as succinct as it needs to be, but my patience has been pushed to the limit with this blasted mod. In retrospect, I shouldn't have installed either...and I know, I know, I should've made a backup of all my files and database. I didn't, and now I'm paying for it. Lesson learned...now...if anyone can help me, please do so...if I had hair, I'd've already torn it out!

...if anyone can help me...

Help has already been handed out abundantly to you with a mod that works flawlessly in conjunction with ZL.
Instructions in the readme cannot be clearer, if you follow them you would not be deleting files, restoring from backup, or whatever you are doing.
If you look back there is also a restoration.zip to help you out, and abundant instructions in very clear terms.
If with all this help you are still unable to install such a simple thing, yes, you should really give up and look for another source of income.
Or hire somebody to handle the website for you.

It was overwhelmingly unnecessary to be so scathing in your reply. I have seen several posts by you, Mr. Ladywig.com, and I am convinced that you are an ###### simply for the fun of it. Thank you for your completely worthless reply.

...this blasted mod...

Look who's talking about scathing.

Look who's talking about scathing.

Just an observation,
You seem to have taken over the support of this module,

Notice I said SUPPORT...

your reply to the poster was not SUPPORT it was a blaze and completely disrespectful....

Apparently this module isnt so simple to install for all folks,
if it was then there wouldnt be 4329 Posts,

so rather than getting defensive thinking that your code is being criticized, take the time to read the question and try to answer their questions.....

Look who's talking about scathing.

My reference to "this blasted mod" was simply to express my frustration. It was not intended to be a criticism of the coding of this contribution to the Add ons. I have seen ImageHandler work beautifully on several sites. So, I apologize for my comment having been offensive. Though I still maintain that your reply could have been more professional. I also urge you to consider being more diplomatic and tactful in general. It seems that you have taken a "holier than thou" approach in several of your replies on multiple threads. This approach isn't helpful in any way and only discourages users from utilizing this excellent Zen Cart software and taking advantage of the outstanding support that one can find on this forum.

Now that that's overwith...

I got the Zen Lightbox to work, I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong with the Image Handler installation. The product images are still not appearing when a product has been selected.
Here's a screenshot:

Merlinpa,
You seem to be addicted to derogatory comments about the personality of contributors.
I have read your rant calling Berezin a pompous ###### and now this ridiculous rant.
Please, go ahead and do the support if you feel like it, I did not take anything in my hands.
Why don't you post an answer to this guy's rants instead of talking about my "defensive" attitude?
As Berezin said, this is not surprising coming from you, grow up.

A link helps us help you.
Plus... what template are you using? If it is a TM template we can only say sorry not much we can do.
Why did you replace html_output.php? The latest versions of IH (since 2006) doesn't touch this file.
Check folder permissions are correct.

lol, your kidding right...
I wasnt ranting, I made a civil statement....


You jumped all over that guy even telling him to "really give up and look for another source of income"

thats all I was refering too.


If you cant tell the difference between me being Civil and actually ranting you need to read older posts.....

but with that said since one cant even make a civil comment to you, i guess I will go back in my corner and watch the rest of this thread....
