Hi Michael

Not sure about the medium issue BUT You have the same issue regarding the large image, Image handler isn't installed correctly, when you click on the image and the larger one appears in the pop-up, the large image isn't water marked because it isn't going through image handler.

I don't know what browser you are using, but when you open the pop-up large image, right click on it and select image properties and it will teel you

is the image that is appearing

if imagehandler was working on the image, it would say
something like

are you putting the popup-image file included with image handler up (I think thats the one, someone will need to correct me)

have a look at this

Image handler is working something is not correct in the pop-upcode

OK,
I believe there were three potential file conflicts between v139 and IH2. In all three cases, I took the IH2 files whole.

I believe there should be 6 file conflicts
1 in admin
and 5 in the includes

Store_Root\admin\includes\modules\category_product_listing.php
Store_Root\includes\modules\pages\popup_image\header_php.php
Store_Root\includes\modules\pages\popup_image_additional\header_php.php
Store_Root\includes\modules\additional_images.php
Store_Root\includes\modules\main_product_image.php
Store_Root\includes\templates\template_default\popup_image_additional\tpl_main_p age.php

nigelt74 may be onto something...lol

just another thought:

1. go to your server files and set your ftp client to allow you to see invisible files

2. check the bmz folder and see if you have a file called .keep

I do not have one in my installation and the thing works as it should but others have stated they do have it so...if you don't have one create it in a text editor. just creat an empty doc and save it as .keep then upload it to bmz_cache folder and see if that works.

BINGO!

Nigel, you're absolutely right: there are six. (I really need a better file compare/merge tool; that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.)

I replaced all six with the IH2 version, and I'm now getting watermarks in all the desired locations.

I'll try to replicate this in my shop, and will report back.

One lingering issue, though...by taking the IH2 versions of these files, am I throwing away any v139 modifications that will eventually be necessary? A nice addition to the IH2 installation notes would be a description of how to merge these six files.

Anyway, this is the biggest progress I've made in ages. Thanks to EVERYONE for the help.

Update: I recopied the six files mentioned by Nigel above from IH2 into my shop. Watermarks are now WORKING! I'll get a chance to test it some more after I add some new products, but I see no reason it shouldn't continue to work with images imported with Easy Populate. Lightboxes are also watermarked. All is good.

I still have a lingering concern about "orphaning" the changes introduced to those files in v139, but I guess I'll deal with that if and when something comes up.

Thanks again to everyone. Nigel, if you're ever in the Bay Area, I owe you a pint and a cigar.

Hi Michael

Thats my issue at the moment, i am trying to work out what is imagehandler code and what is zen cart code so i can merge the changes into 1.3.9a versions of those 6 files.

On the whole there don't seem to be major differences in some of the files, whereas others do seem to be well and truly changed, also i want to make mine php 5.3 compatible, so i am kind waiting to see what diva Vocals comes out with, as i have kids underfoot, which doesn't help with code comparisons

Good to know you got it working though

[nigelt74]

Hey Diva

Is the current version of ImageHandler2 v7 based off 1.37 or 1.38 code, as i am just trying to figure which is which codewise

As reported in the doenloads, this is a 1.3.8 codebase.. (which is what the 3 previous versions were based off of..)

Your reputation was never on the line IMHO.. I had legitimate questions, and if you assumed that your reputation was on the line for asking legimate questions, there is nothing I can do about that..

Sorry you felt slighted by all of this, but my questions were not without merit, and I will not apologize for posing them..

Glad you've moved on.. I will do the same..

Yes, you are definately right about it being an extreme response - but when it is my good name and reputation on the line that I have worked for years to establish - with me any way. it emitted that extreme response.

I PM'd Dr. Byte yesterday to please remove it because of this thread - and he did so very quickly - THANKS Dr. Byte!

I am "over it" now and back to my usual not freaking out self and will continue to support this community with updates of other mods as I can and hope that it will be a much better experience than what trying to help in this case was. I have been building sites with zen cart since version 1.2.4 and have been in love with it from the first day I used it - and will not let an incident like this sway that dedication to this software, the developers and the community that uses it.
