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

[Jeff_Mash]

Once this is installed, can we safely delete the images in the regular /images/ directory? In other words, as long as we have the bmz_cache images in there, is there any need for the original /images/ folder?

Or are the original files still needed in the /images/ folder because the bmz_cache folder is constantly being rebuilt based on these source images?

Let me know. I've been using Image Handler 2 for a long time now, but I'm trying to clean up disk space, and didn't know if the original /images/ folder is still needed or if it could be purged nightly after the images are cached in the bmz_cache folder.

The bmz_cache folder only references your image(s), you still need to maintain your images in the images/ directory.

I am running 1.38a and installed the lastest and then removed it and installed the rev 7 (both seems to work) well kind of.

a little back ground first.

my old host over a year ago was so slow that i manually created images for the small, med and large files and placed them in the folders to get the site faster. sizes are 100, 200 and 400

i have over 10000 items so you see that this equals to over 30000 image files - this is what i would like to trim down.

Question-

Does IH2 recreate the images and i am in the same boat or does it just cache the med and large file image and then delete these at some point?

Now to some issues.

now when i have ih2 up and it show the three images for a item at the bottom. it shows the default (small) and the med and large and has the option to delete the med and large (now when i try to delete it says it is unable to locate image).

other error

uploading a image

when i find a image on my local drive and click save to have it upload (it states at the top of the screen image was successfully saved) but at the bottom it show this error. but the image is not really saved or uploaded.

Mostly likely cause of this error is the use of special characters in your image filenames.

no special characters in image name or product names.
Images are all 5 to 7 numbers.jpg

Hi, what's happening with IH2 rev c?

Just wondered if it was going to be available in the downloads section? I did have your invite to have a copy via your website but i wanted to wait until it had been approved by the zen cart team.

Thanks
Michael

Working on updating the readme file so I can submit it.. I'm afraid I've been swamped with work and projects so I'm a bit behind getting this finished.. PM me if you'd like instructions on how to get the latest version with all the corrections in the meantime..

Just wanna make sure it's clear to anyone running the Rev8c version of IH2.. If you downloaded it from my website you have THE version that will be submitted to the downloads.. So when it's available you WILL NOT HAVE TO UPGRADE.. The only people who should upgrade are those running any version of IH2 prior to the Rev 8c release.

As soon as I can I will finish up the readme and get it submitted. In the meantime anyone who wants Rev 8c can PM and I will send you the information you need to get it..
