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

[DivaVocals]

Still trying to fix this.... No one has anymore ideas? I tried reinstalling revision 7 but to no avail. I'm really stuck so anymore suggestions would be appreciated.

I do not understand why simply moving the site from one host the other would affect IH or anything else on your site from working.. However it sounds like you've got a combo of things going on.. You're moving a site, doing some minor semi upgrades, and you are running a VERY old version of Zen Cart.. I'm afraid that without seeing it for myself, I don't having ideas what MIGHT be going on.. Hope someone else has more insights for you..

Hope someone can help me!!

my IH2 install has started to act strange!!!

i have IH2 installed on 2 test sites... both were working fine yesterday but today both seem to have uninstalled themselves (i dont know how)

anyway, i reinstalled IH2 via
Admin > Tools > Image Handler 2 > Admin > Install Image Handler

i thought everything was working ok again but i have noticed that my additional images are not being displayed on the product pages at the front end of the websites...

for example additionalimage_01 and additionalimage_02 etc

when i logout of the admin and log back in these additional images are their in the adminside of IH2 but just not being displayed on the front end.

anyone ever come across this before???

(please... help...)

Hi there

I'm having a problem with my additional images.

I have zen 1.3.8a and the last version of IH2.

Take a look on this page:

http://www.scrapparty-digishop.com/i...roducts_id=198

main image called: Akre_ARomanticNight.jpg

additionals called: Akre_ARomanticNight_01.jpg

and Akre_ARomanticNight_02.jpg

in my admin area... everything looks ok...

sorry if this problem was solved before... I just spend 8 hours searching and reading... and when I found a people with my same problem... the person don't post again... or just don't get a reply.... and like my main language is not english... I have a bit loss at this point...

thanks in advance...

This might be a stretch, but I have seen something similar (not IH related)... things don't just uninstall, and templates don't just change. When something similar happened to a client of mine, my suspicion was on the hosting company and after hours of discussion with them, they admitted that they were doing an upgrade on the servers, something went bad, and they restored an old backup.

Again, I'm not blaming your hosting company, but that is where I would start.

Hi Ahmad Rahman,

its my own server

I installed IH2 a few weeks ago, then last week i installed the mod http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=915

I checked that nothing was over ridden from all the mods i had previously installed and i believe there are no common files between these mods...

yet it has happend after installing this mod?...
do you (or anyone else) know why? or how i can fix this? ::
cheers


dont know if this helps, additional images i added via FTP before i installed IH2 still show..??

[Shane78]

i have just done some more testing,

3rd test site,

installed IH2
configured and working fine

installed captcha-number-subject-combo-in-one-1.0
configured and working fine

then looked into the IH2 admin part and the same happened, it was uninstalled...
I clicked on install IH2 then adds additional images to a test product, but it works..

ARGH! haha, i hate life sometimes!!

why?.. hope someone can give, give guidance!!

[Shane78]

i have played some more..

it seems that i can create new products and assign additional images to the new product and IH2 works fine!

however, any products that already had additional images before my uninstalled/reinstall problems do not show these additional images on the product page of the front end of the site. even deleteing all images and creating new additional images has no effect?

any ideas?

is this a problem with IH2 after it's uninstalled via the admin and reinstalled? or is this caused because of the mod i added (captcha-number-subject-combo-in-one-1.0)

does IH2 always uninstall after another addon writes to the db?

can this be fixed?

[Shane78]

ok... just had another play...

dont know if this is of any help to anyone..

i have noticed that products which IH2 had assigned additional images to have had their image format changed... (before captcha install)

for example
additional_image01.gif is now additional_image01.jpeg

hahaha, i have no idea why or what i have done wrong!

@ckosloff:

You know, you really are an arrogant individual. You also think you know about everything there is to know. Now granted, it appears you have contributed to this module, and are certainly active on this thread, but about 50% of the replies I see from you are backhanded and often incorrect. Just to let you know. EVERY FOLDER images and bmz_cache, and all sub-folders of them were set with 777 permissions. It was a server permissions problem as the folders were owned by apache.

Instead of saying that "yes, the readme explains that" (which it says absolutely NOTHING about server user permissions) maybe YOU should read subsequent posts before chiming in with your two cents. You were, as with many cases I have seen, completely incorrect on this issue. Once more, it was already resolved!

If I may make a suggestion: If you don't wish to answer questions about this module (or tactfully at least), perhaps you should request another advanced user of IH2 to maintain it. Instead of making comments like "I agree with DivaVocals, who BTW wrote the readme.
RTFM!! "

The manual should be read, I agree. But understand, not all people have the same skillset or experience level. Did you know the ins and outs of ZC when you built your first cart? NO... Did you know php when you first took to programming? Of course you didn't. Although you may now, I would venture to say 75% of the users on this forum do not. Have some patience with people, don't be so bitter. I'd rather receive 5 incorrect yet kind replies from people trying to help, rather than 1 correct yet disdainful reply from someone who is bitter about helping.

Oh and one last tidbit. "Once you chown" yes another user can take ownership, just chown again buddy..

Once you chown there is no way another user can take ownership.
But...there is no need to chown (unless you are hitting a very weird Apache configuration), just set both images and bmz_cache folders to same perms. 755 first and then 777 if that does not work.
And yes, the readme explains that.

Just installed this mod, and 1.) It does not obey the 'Hover on Hotzone Only' option, and 2.) does anyone know how I can set IH2 to ONLY work on the Additional Images? I do not want it to work on my product listing images.

[DarkAngel]

Some of mine did that to me once but going to the ih2 section in tools and then click clear image cache might help, it made mine reappear.

IH2 renames the files automatically unless you do the suffix thing on your own...I let it do its thing.

did you install anything to the stores after you installed IH2?

Hope someone can help me!!
