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

[DivaVocals]

I believe he is using Excel because he is using a module like EZ Populate or Apsona to upload his products and categories.. In these modules, I believe that you have to explicitly list the path to your product images if they are in a subfolder of the "images" folder.. (Otherwise you simply enter the name of the file and the modules "assumes" the file can be found inthe "images" folder)

He won't need to do ANYTHING in the IH2 admin if he already has uploaded his images and image folders.. Once he "installs" IH2, configures his image settings, FTPs his images, and then uploads his product and categories via EZ Populate, he's DONE...

why??? am i not understanding this right...you are going to add the subfolder name to the image?

just have the subfolder in the images folder then name your image however you want image.jpg, roses.jpg then use it that way just make sure you tell ih2 what spot to plop it into

in the ih2 area just above where you hit to browse for your image is where you put the path to the folder

choose new file
main directory in drop down menu then write the path in the area under that -- like

promos/the name of the subfolder/
browse for the image
click save

it should put it into the subfolder you designate

My question is, When you hover the attribute image comes up in a little white box... I was wondering is it possible to do so that when you hover the attribute 'large' image comes up? Just a small version, and if they want to enlarge, then click it as usual.

Here's a image example:

I do believe this hover is done by IH isn't it? (even for the attribute images)

perhaps it could be considered to make an admin switch with default and/or large image hover to be selected at will since this seem to be one of the returning questions on this module.

IH2 does not manage attribute images..

However after having more than a second to look at this, I see that in the example provided by dddmx3 the images shown in his screen shot are not attribute images, they are in fact product images.. (the additional product images to be exact)

To get the larger image to show up in the hover requires that a larger image be used in the first place..

In his example it appears that there is one image file being used for the small image another image file being used as the medium image, and yet another image is being used as the large image file..

Most IH2 users upload the largest image and IH2 takes care of rendering the small and medium images.. However, if dddmx3 has explicitly chosen these images in the IH2 interface then it might explain why the hover image is the EXACT same image as the smaller thumbnail. (it's possible that the exact same image was uploaded as the thumbnail and the product image)

perhaps it could be considered to make an admin switch with default and/or large image hover to be selected at will since this seem to be one of the returning questions on this module.

My understanding of the issue that has always been on the table for making the large versus the medium images display in the hover has always been lightbox compatibility issues. That's why when the "Optional Edits" folder (which was supposed to add this ability) was added to IH2 many versions ago it was quickly removed from the fileset.. Too many people using those optional Edits found their lightboxes stopped working..

Doesn't mean it's not doable, it just means that no one has taken the time needed to examine how to offer the ability for choosing large vs medium images in the hover AND still be compatible with the popular lightbox modules.

However there has been a TON of posted fixes for adding this functionality.. Most of it seems to not work with lightbox contribs though..

Wait... If you click on the smaller images, a larger image comes up?
So your saying its not possible?

Not sure I understand your question..

Honest to goodness I'm really not entirely sure what the issue is you are having or if it's even an IH2 issue at all.. Your site is working in a way that IH2 doesn't do out the box with regards to the display and management of your additional product images..

Here's how IH2 works. You upload the LARGEST image when you create your product, and IH2 takes care of creating the small and medium images needed from this one image file.

In the IH2 readme I took the time to explain the various image sizes from the Image settings in the Zen Cart admin and how they map to the various pages in Zen Cart. Please review this..

Simply put here how it maps out:
Thumbnails are your "small" images
The product image (the one that appears on the product detail page) is the "medium" image
The "large" image is the one that appears when you click on the "larger image" link from the product detail page

The hover feature in IH2 has ALWAYS ONLY shown the "medium" image.

See sample links of IH2 in action here:
Product Detail page: http:// zentestcart . overthehillweb . com/Test_Category/Nonummy_Iusto_Laoreet
Product List page: http:// zentestcart . overthehillweb . com/Test_Category

Looking at your site it appears that all of your additional images have the SAME IMAGE being used as the small and medium image. Which either means that you EXPLICITLY chose this image as your product's medium images or you've got some other modification that makes this behavior happen. Your LARGE image is a different image altogether which again gives me the impression that you EXPLICITLY chose this image for the large product image.. NONE of this is default IH2 behavior..

So without knowing what other mods you've made to your sight or knowing HOW you uploaded these images in this manner I can't say WHAT the issue is or how to correct it.. and it's starting to feel like this may NOT be an IH2 issue at all..

[DivaVocals]

One last thing.. (and I've spent more time on this than I really have time for) I looked over some of your past posts.. You have a different image setup than what IH2 does default out the box.. Which is why your additional images are setup the way they are.. It's not that IH2 can't manage your images, but your use of product images is outside the general IH2 usage of uploading ONE image and letting IH2 create the other required images..

That said, if what you are wanting is for the large image to display on hover (versus the medium image which is the IH2 default) try this link:
