bonboncat:

hmmmm is animated gif supported in IH 3?
all of my product animated gif stop animating right after i install IH 3
is there a way round to make it animated like it used to be?
Short answer to this... Nope...

If you need more info on this read this post: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1022549&postcount=6804

Landin:

Zen lightbox was disable and the file "additional_images.php" was switched to the one that came in the image handler package when I tested. Still did not work.

My page - http://www.ciggen.se

And yes. I did install image handler in the admin section. Both my BMZ_cach and Image folders are set to 755. also tried with 777.

So nothing in the /cache folder ?

The images are showing as being in the bmz_cache even though they don't seem to be there

Have a look in side the bmz_cache are there sub_folders being generated there

When i go to view one of the images I get a 500 error (internal server error)

http://www.ciggen.se/bmz_cache/1/1a9595f258084211ee08e9f4b6956247.image.80x80.jpg

If an images isn't there it should be a 404 error like the one below will give

http://www.ciggen.se/1/fake_image.jpg

Something is wrong with the bmz_cache (possibly ownership not permissions)

Did you originally install zencart by yourself or did you use fantastico or simplescripts to install it?

I installed zen cart by my self.

There are one sub-folder in bmz. Name of the folder is 0.

I tried to upload a image for my product through the image handler in admin, but it did not work eather.

In my Mysql server it said that I have the GD or what it said in the install instructions.

What exactly didn't work? normally there will be an error message

and again is there anything in the
/cache folder
as this is where a lot of errors are stored

Hi,

Thanks for this mod which I've installed successfully. Unfortunately I do have a minor hiccup which I just cant figure out.

My large images no longer show in my lightbox, I just see the spinner. I'm using a custom template which seems to use a simple lightbox which it calls - darkbox.

If its any help my lightbox does not use an additional_images.php file.

My large images are certainly present as I can use the hover function with a large image.

Any ideas please?

I installed image as the readme said except for the 2 files in bmz_cache. .htaccess and .keep, they are not supported by my server. I figured I would try any way. It installs sucessfully, but when i click on manager, it says page not found.

Update- I think I found the problem, I missed installing one file, but now, none of my images work, including in image handler.

You should contact the template maker and see if they can help you troubleshoot their lightbox.. This thread is not the right place to sort out support issues related to your template's lightbox..

As has been mentioned ad nauseum,

post a link to your site, we cannot guess

post a link

Por favor...

Here ya go sorry bout that

And it is my product images that do not work.

Ok, I have been messing around with a but, and this is what has come up so far. I upload a .jpg image, it will not work as a category image, or product listing image. But when you mouse over it works, and when you go to product details it works. I uploaded a .bmp image, and it works every where as advertised. Strange.
Take a look: here

ummmm how to make image handler disable popup on hover and replace it with zoom on hover? popup on hover is blocked by most browser @.@

Take a look: here

1. Bitmaps are not being handled by image handler, image handler only handles images designed for website, bitmaps should never ever be on a website.
2. Something is hinky with your server, image handler is handling the jpegs, BUT, something on your server is stripping the / out of the url
   This is what is showing as the source for the missing image
   bmz_cachecc6a1bd6a8e4647b323b723816f16e890.image.100x78.jpg

This is what it should be saying

bmz_cache/c/c6a1bd6a8e4647b323b723816f16e890.image.100x78.jpg

Somewhere along the line the forward slashes are being stripped, this has happened before with some weird server setting, there is a workaround in the IH2 thread, opefully someone will point you to it, as I have the flu and can't think properly at the moment

Huh, no idea what you are on about

post a link to the effected page

are you meaning

1. on the product information page where you click the link for larger image pop-up or
2. the category listing pages where the larger image appears automatically on hover.

The images wont work, that´s what I meant.

I tried to upload a medium image. And the cach-folder now created 0,1,3,7,c,e,f -folders with the image I uploaded but in different sizes. But the images still wont show on my webstore =/

@landin

1. I want to know about the /cache folder, not the /bmz_cache folder, as the /cache folder is where php error messages are stored and hopefully there will be error messages in there regarding this problem

Okay

Now regarding the /bmz_cache folder,

from what you have said

i am assuming the following
Images are being created in the bmz_cache folders, and are visible when viewed via your hosting control panel, BUT the image can't be viewed when you try to view them on the site OR via a direct link in the browser?

Try this
try deleting the .htaccess file out of the bmz_cache and see if that makes a difference,

If it does make a difference, copy the ,htaccess file out of images into the bmz_cache (the 2 files are identical, but for some bizarre reason this has fixed some peoples problems)

on the product information page ^^
i'd like to change it into zoom mode when we hover the image
i think it's better than popup but i don't know how to do it >.<

There is alot of files in there.

Okay

Now regarding the /bmz_cache folder,

No. The image could not be viewed from admin control panel eather.

Try this
try deleting the .htaccess file out of the bmz_cache and see if that makes a difference,

If it does make a difference, copy the ,htaccess file out of images into the bmz_cache (the 2 files are identical, but for some bizarre reason this has fixed some peoples problems)

This worked. I can now see all my pictures in admin and on the webstore. Thank you so mutch!

thank you nigel for the help. I went back to IH2 support forum, did some searches, but came up dry. That thread is really long! Still no luck getting my images to work properly.

Nigel, you say the .bmp's are not being handled by IH, is that why in the source it shows <img src="images/2.5x6.bmp" and for the .jpg it shows like you stated earlier "><img src="bmz_cachecc6a1bd6a8e4647b323b723816f16e890.image.100x78.jpg

But, I uploaded the .bmp through handler? Thank you again for the help.
