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

[DivaVocals]

Hi, Diva –

Since I completely reinstalled IH2 last night, and overwrote EVERY file in my shop with the IH2 counterpart, doesn't that rule out any other add-on interfering? If anything, it would seem that my doing that would break the other add-ons.

Nope.. and I think you issue is related to EZ Populate.. It's the only thing that explains why the images on your product details page are not using the IH2 image cache.. (search this thread for EZ Populate to see other related threads..)

Hello everybody.
I decided to take a long vacation from this forum because people were being judgmental about my person: rude, you think you know everything, the problem is not with the software but with you, etc.
To all those who are interested in my person let me say that I don't intend to date anyone of you, so please don't insist.
Now to the software: obviously, before release, rev. 7 was submitted to stress tests to verify that it was doing everything that it was supposed to do, and that the install would be straightforward and easy.
It is beyond me why some people, who are supposed to be seasoned webmasters, were having any issue with it, e.g. additional images.
The main reason why rev.7 was put forward was, first to help me, then the community who were struggling with an "updated version" that was breaking sites.
There is nothing wrong with rev.7, I even tested on PHP 5.3.1 and it works fine, in spite of the deprecated functions still in it.
There was no urgent need to update, since most ISPs will not move to 5.3.x in the immediate future.
So, if you feel any urgent need to update something that works, please back off and don't add to confusion.
Also, I think it is the fault of the Zen Cart team to not vet more closely updates to critical mods.
Now, 1.3.9b has been released, on that basis, and PHP 5.3.x a new update (rev.8) will be crafted.
Care will be taken that no regressions are in it, testing will be performed on previous versions of PHP too.
Erm...in case somebody wants to make this personal, it is not just me working on that, several guys and gals are, as for the credit, I could not care less.
Please be patient and don't add to confusion.

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

Cheers, i actually assumed that meant it was tested on 1.3.8 not necessary built using 1.3.8 code, anyway good to know, as i seem to be hitting a few snags in demerging the code, i think i'll wait for your new version

Hi, I am using Zen Cart v 1.3.9.a. I've tried to upload Image Handler 2 but I am getting messages "Warning: missing file (includes/aplication_top.php). What can I do about it? Is it possible to install IH2 in this ZC version?

Thanks for any help.

[ekele]

Now, in admin, I get message:
ih_heading_title
ih_version_not found

What to do, please?

Ekele –

IH2 will work with v139. It sounds as though you're missing some files. Application_top.php is a core file (not part of IH2). If you're missing that file, it sounds as though part of your installation may have gone awry.

There are actually two application_top.php files: one in /admin/includes and one in /includes. It sounds like you're missing the latter file.

The second error message you reported suggests that you may have missed copying some of the IH2 files into your shop. I'd double check that as a first step.

Sorry for all those questions but we are just starting.

Now in Admin we are getting:

IH_HEADING_TITLE
IH_VERSION_NOT_FOUND

* IH_INSTALL
* IH_CLEAR_CACHE
* IH_SCAN_FOR_

When I click on those links I get message:

Not Found

The requested URL /my name/my name/FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

So I guess, you are right. But how to fix it? Do i have to install IH again?

Awesome.. It's being tested as we speak right now.. There are several folks currently testing the new version as we speak.. (so far GOOD results being reported) Would you like to help test it? As with the current Rev 7 version we want to make sure we test it thoroughly with PHP 5.3, but also want to test backwards compatibility as well.. So PHP 5.2.X versions are also being tested.. If you are willing to test, PM me and I'll hit you back with instructions..

There is no point in reinstalling IH2, if you are missing files, just overwrite everything.
If your core installation went bad, as it seems, the easiest way is to start over, since you are just starting.

you should upload all the store files all ovre again as well as the ih2 ones and make sure you put the ih2 files where they should go.

please do not use a program (like fantasitico) to upload/install your store things, do it manually by opening the zip and uploading them through ftp.

you just starting out will make things a bit easier.
