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

[DivaVocals]

blah no lol just still shows the 3, should i try reinstalling over again?

Nope.. that just means the issue is not caused by IH2.. It helps to narrow down your issue so I can try and steer you in the right direction..

Unfortunately I do not know what could be causing the issue. It's not caused by IH2 (which I was fairly certain of already) but clearly there is something in your template which is limiting the number of additional images.. (I am pretty confident that this is the root cause of your issue) If it is a template you got from the downloads section, then you can try posing a note in the support thread for the template, but I think you'll wanna try posting a new thread in the layout section of the forum..

Without having the benefit of seeing your store code I would guess that your template somehow modifies the additional images code in a way which limits the display to only 3 images..

very bizarre as it was working before latest zen update i dunno i will work on it, i dont know how to find out in the template whats causing it if it is the template which i don't think it is. Now that i re-activated IH2 the 3 images are gone ughhh

Sorry if this has been answered already, but I can't find it.

Is there a way to have the hover image use a different file? I'd like the hover to show a zoomed detail of an image, rather than a large version of the original.

I'm fairly certain it is your template.. Which template are you using?? Where did you get it from?? Try changing to the classic template see if more than three images show..

(IH2 does NOT have any code in it's codebase which does this -- I can show you LOTS of examples of working stores with more than three additional images which demonstrate that this is not an IH2 issue)

Not something the IH2 hover does..

Hi Everyone,

I too am having a similar problem. I have 1.3.9f installed along with IH2 and the RI_TEMPLATE_07. I have the Zen Lightbox add on also.

I have additional images for one of my products but they are not showing up at all. (not even three of them).

I have transferred all the correct files to the correct places as per instructions everything else works e.g. resizing, watermarking etc but additional images does not.

The link to the product is http://personally-yours.co.uk/index....products_id=36

as can be seen from the screenshot below I have additional images for the product.



Any help would be appricated.

I think I have come across something that may be of help to someone else here. If your additional images aren't the same file type as your main image then they will not show. I've just tried a small experiment with mine. My main image is a png and my additional images are jpg and they didn't show up so I added a png file as an additional image and now it is showing.

I think this maybe useful. See link above in QUOTE to see it work.

Thanks

FYI, this is discussed in the IH2 readme..

Image Formats and Image Handler2

Image Handler2 purports that you can add any valid format (.jpg, .gif, or .png) to any main image or additional product images. This is only a half-truth.

Image Handler2 will allow you to add any valid image format to a product even if the new image is in a different file format than the main product image (Main image is a jpg and additional images are png, for example). Though Image Handler2 does not display an error message (and admittedly it should), Zen Cart will not see this additional image because the file format of the new image does not match that of the main product image.

Zen Cart will only recognize and display product images that have the exact same file format as the main product image. For Zen Cart, the additional product images have to follow a certain pattern that pattern includes the file extension.

In order to correct this anomaly, an optional modification to the Zen Cart naming convention MAY be offered in a future Image Handler2 release.

Image handler 2 has worked perfectly well for me so far, and it's a great addon!

Recently I've added some addition pictures for some of my items, and have FTP them into the same image folder, and named them image-001.jpg, image-002.jpg, etc

My original file was called something different. When I replaced the orginal image with the new one (through image handler admin), I expected the others to show up as well (as I'm sure worked before), but I can only see the original one (in admin and in the shop listing). It does not seem to pick up the others files. Any idea how to fix this?

I have a lot of files to do this way, and FTP is obviously a much quicker way than adding then in manually.

Thanks a lot!

Seeing a link with the specific product where this is not working would help..
