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

[earthone]

I recently installed the handler on our site. We are using zen cart version 1.3.9d and handler version Image_Handler_v2_0-Rev8b.

We got it installed and all seems to be working well we can upload images via the handler and the images show on the store the problem is that the hover is not working.

We checked the settings and all seems to be set right as we set our image settings as outlined in the install manual.

If anyone can give us some advise on what may be wrong and or how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.

Please note we did everything as outlined in the manual including chmod 777 the folders.

Thanks again.

I managed to solve my above post but thank you for taking the time to read it.

Seeing as IH2 has a minor bug and hopefully the authors will do a IH2 Rev 8c for all the people who use it..

is what is discussed here possible?

I ask not because I use IH2, but because I feel uncomfortable with a mod that *may* allow for a security issue and someone's site getting screwed over when it could be avoided

Again, could someone please post a link to a site that uses IH2 showing this zoom feature and enlarge to click option? Please....

Thanks ClydeJones, I like how you've chosen to keep your background when viewing an image relatively see through; however, I really would like to see a site with a mouse over zoom features in use. Are you aware of one? Something like the one below; which is a paid module by Magic Tools.

No I don't and BTW the "magiczoom" feature has nothing to do with Image handler which has its own zoom feature.

DivaVocals, thanks for your positive response!

Since you have it working well, I'll give it one last shot now that I have upgraded to the latest 1.3.9d zencart.

Well, I am happy to report that DivaVocals is right and my post was premature. The latest version of Image Handler works like a charm for me with zencart 1.3.9d. At last!

Clyde is right.. and I added it to the readme of the latest versions so that it was very clear.. Image Handler at it's heart is meant to ease the process of image management. If you need fancy image effects only, then Image Handler may not be the right module for you (and may NOT be compatible with such modules)

To address r1formetoo's question if you are looking for a module which offers a fancy hover on the medium image (medium image = the image that displays on the product info page) like the module you mention, then as has been discussed frequently here in this support thread (and is outlined in the readme that comes with Image Handler) Image Handler does not have what your are looking for. Image Handler's own image hover feature adds the hover effect to the small images (the ones which appear on the product listing pages).

The Image Handler readme goes into detail WHY this is, but long story short, adding hover on medium images seems to interfere with lightbox contirbutions.

No I don't and BTW the "magiczoom" feature has nothing to do with Image handler which has its own zoom feature.
