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

[mzimmers]

I tried that with an existing product. I deleted the image and uploaded a fresh copy. Still no watermark.

Anyone else with some other ideas? I keep thinking it has something to do with the watermark files themselves, but...I don't know what else to try. They're png files and I made them the same size as the watermarks delivered with core ZC.

Have you tried putting the core watermarks back and seeing if they work?, could be an issue with your watermark png? but as its working on the rollover seems unlikely

Are they are named correctly?

The only things i can suggest are triple checking the product page code, did you upload the included image handler product page or did you merge the code together with the existing page, and you haven't updated or installed any new mods since installing image handler?

note the page isn't called product page, the name of it escapes me right now, i'm sure someone much brighter will chime in with the name of it, I think its in your template or custom template folder.

Anyway the reason i'm here

Opera browser, do the rollover effects etc work with opera yet?, as i am about to do a site upgrade from 1.3.7 (and whatever version of IH2 was around then), and i just want to know if it works as i still haven't found a site it works on with Opera

I just restored the standard watermark files...same results.

I don't know which file you're referring to. Can anyone enlighten me here?

Thanks.

Thanks.

if by chance it is a misloaded file you could just open the zip then go to your server and actually check each folder in the zip with the ones on the server....making entirely sure the file uploaded is in the correct place.

I had a client accidently upload one of the image_handler.php into the wrong place and after it got put in the proper spot it started behaving.

It depends on how you installed image jandler, I can't speak for the latest version, but on the original IH2 you had the option of either overwriting a couple of files (main_product_image.php i think & a pop up one i think), or manually merging them ie adding the code to the original zencart files your self

Just as a query, do you have server access?
have you tried checking the error log, i know in my version of Cpanel it lets me see the last 300 errors, never know it may show you something useful

Herein lies the answer.. It appears that you have overwritten the product page files instead of merging the changes. I suspect that you installed your lightbox app AFTER installing Image Handler and it is fairly clear that you did not merge the changes in the common files which is why your watermarking does not work on your product pages.

Hi, Diva –

So, assuming that would be the case, what would the corrective procedure be? Remove both add-ons, install lightbox and then install IH2?

I compared the IH2 files against v139 and there are some differences. It's not always clear which changes to pick up and which to leave.

It's not the order in which you install these add-ons that matters.. They both make changes to some of the same files. You need to merge these changes.

The correct procedure for this and ANY add-on is to make sure that you merge (versus overwrite) any common files.

I'm afraid this is not something I can easily explain. You may have to start by seeing and noting the differences between v1.3.8a and 1.3.9a first. Once you have this then it may be easier to see where which changes between v1.3.9a and the core files included in IH2 should be merged.

Mz,
There is a new version of Image Handler for 139a in the Free Software Addons
I use Use Fual Slimbox (a mirror image to Zen Lightbox), available in the Free Software Addon section too.

Be careful to winmerge these files into the core of 139a.

I did a test last night on a fresh install of 139a, worked seamlessly.
What I noticed is that Image Handler and Fual do not overload on each other which is easier to winmerge...
