Image Handler 3 Support Thread (for ZC v1.3.9)

Sorry to be a pain again but another question. I am sure that it's the IH3 this time.

I have been adding products all day with additional images and just noticed that when you click on the main image it doesn't give you the option to go to the next image (which would be the additional image).

Here is an example where it's not working. http://frompropertorocker.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_109&products_id=1079

It was working earlier today and the only I did to my site was fixed the featured products I had trouble with earlier. Other than that I have just been adding products.

I do see this error in my error log just recently. [Sat Sep 10 22:57:32 2011] [error] [client 67.4.66.137] client denied by server configuration: /home/fromprop/public_html/secretadmin/includes/images, referer: https://frompropertorocker.com/secretadmin/includes/stylesheet.css Not sure if it has something to do with that also or what but thought I post it just in case.

I also tried clearing out my IH3 cache but that didn't seem to fix it.

Thanks again!

Oh please ignore my last question. It's been a long day. I posted in the wrong forum. It wouldn't be IH3 problem it would be a Zen Lightbox problem.

I'm in need of advice :(
IH3 has worked great for me all along... Does what it says on the tin. TY

Now my current dilema:
I am now at the stage where I need to add many "additional product images" and all is well...
My problem is that I need to title each additional image to reflect that 'this image is an example of..' and 'this image is a gift box.." (not exactly like that of course)
So I know I need something like 'Additional Image Titles' but upon looking at this mod it apears long winded. Also I read one pose asking if it works along side IH3, to which he was told "probably not"

Basically I need to title my 'additional' images with my choice of title. AND I don't want to sacrifice IH3 to do it.

Any one know of a good way I can implement this feature?

PS: My PHP is minimal... I can cut & paste / merge but not write the stuff ;(

Thanks for any advice.

is 'Additional Image Titles' a mod to add on? if it is then if you have a test store set up you could try it and see if it works or not.

otherwise in the product description I would write down that some of the promos are... adding what you wish to add cause IH will name them according to what the main image is called and does not really distinguish any other name.

but someone more knowledgeable will come in soon and tell us if I am wrong...lol

Hi
Yes it's a mod (add-on) in the Zen download area.

Rizla:

Was the mod author the one who made this statement??? If not why not ask the mod author in the "Additional Image Titles" support thread if there is a conflict.. I think HE would be in a better position to answer..

Sorry Diva if I'm posting in the wrong thread

It's kind of one of those situations where I'm piggy-in-the-middle!

The authors (gjh42) thread does not help me much... one comment on another person asking was:

"It probably wouldn't work automatically with IH3, but should be able to be applied by adding the title code to an IH3 file"

Call me lost :(

I'm a little amazed that after all the yrs Zen has been going that no one seems to have had a need to title the additional images independantly of the product title.

Oh well....

Oh well....But that's kinda my point.. that's ONE reply with no follow-up.. Did you ask gjh42 if he knows how IH3 would need to be modified to work with his module?? gjh42 is one of the most helpful mod authors on this forum, I'm sure if you "complete the thought" he might be able to give you what you need or at least a nudge in the right direction..

Cheers Diva.... Will give it a go

Hello!

I am in the process of upgrading and looking for someone to stroke my hair and tell me all will be ok. :unsure:

I just successfully upgraded my ZC to 139h and then upgraded to IH3 from IH2 rev8b. I am now in the process of upgrading to Zen Lightbox 1.6.2.

The question I have relates to the instructions for IH3, the Misc Page. On this page, the IH3 instructions state:
"**Zen Lightbox - **Replace the additional_images.php from Image Handler3 with the one that comes with Zen Lightbox. (Zen Lightbox has included all the merged code required for Zen Lightbox and Image Handler3 to work well together)"

But when I unzipped the lightbox and read through the instructions, I found no mention of IH3 and, in fact, the Lightbox 162 does mention that it was tested to work with IH2.

So my quesiton is this: What version of Zen Lightbox are the IH3 instructions referring to?

I just don't want to copy over core files with code that will break IH3 and I want both mods to play together.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Feznizzle,

It will all be ok :smile:

The ZLB Read_Me hasn't been updated to include the info found in the IH3 Read_Me - which may be why you are confused.

Go ahead and install the latest version of ZLB (available through the addons download section of the forum), and it will work perfectly well with IH3.

Typically, folks only have problems getting them to work together when they install ZLB 1st and IH3 2nd...because of the shared file. As long as IH3 is installed first, and ZLB is installed 2nd, everything is fine.

Good luck and happy Zenning :smile:

Hi ScriptJunkie,

Oh great news! That's pretty much what I was expecting, thanks for the reassurance!

You're very welcome :smile:

hi, i have image handler working (a bit lol) on 1.3.9h site, but i find that from time to time when i click on the image handler manager in admin it sometimes tells me No Image Handler information found. is this a known bug? it is asking me to reintall which i do and then it goes on its merry way until the next time, i havent done anything to overwrite or uninstall the mod and i am using zen lightbox successfully after following instructions.

any ideas?

which version of lightbox do you have running? is everything uploaded to its proper place?

im using image handler 3 downloaded from here, as i said its not a major issue, it doesnt affect the use of image handler as it still seems to work the same, its just from time to time i have to click install again, its odd.

i've reviewed the installation and everything seems fine? im not using any other image mods other than zen lightbox but again i followed the integration instructions so cant really see the issue, hence the reason to ask if this is a known butg or at least if anyone else is experiencing this

please clarify:

you have to click install again from time to time.

if it is installed correctly with everything in its place there should be no reason to keep installing it over and over PLUS

how do you know you need to click install again---do you get an error message? some indicator?

well that is what i thought? lol i have no idea what is going wrong.

if i follow the image handler icon from the admin product list (within categories) it takes me to the image handler manager page, from time to time it reads: there is no image handler information and a prompt below in hyperlink form to install image handler (when this is working it behaves as normal with the uninstall link clear cache link etc etc)

as i said i find it bizarre... i have no idea why or what triggers it, i know from time to time isnt a very accurate time assessment, but i see no pattern in what makes it do it so it is literally just time to time! i have however noticed that the front end is not affected in any way, images still render and i am putting products up all the time so i presume it is still rendering the images etc. i have tried clearing the cache etc and no real effect, the only issue with this is that i cant use the IH3 manager page until i have clicked install, ive had to do this twice in the last week, and in that time the only real changes to my zen cart have been updating products and adding products via easy populate

I sometimes get a crossover too where the wrong image displays in admin category listing itself, but clicking through to the image handler manager page it shows the correct image and its information, but not always with a button below each to delete the additional size images and front end is correct too.

im just about to winmerge my files and the standard IH3 install, i'll get back in a minute if i find any noticeable differences

nope, no major differences,

my admin > includes > modules > category_product_listing.php is different due to havind product images in admin and markup module installed.

also my includes > modules > MY TEMPLATE > additional_images.php is different as i am using zen lightbox version 1.6.2

other than those expected differences there are no others

that is strange and is weird, I have never had it do that. It either won't show them or will and sometimes -- before I categorized the promos at my store I found that if they were named similarly or the same as another product, they both had the same image.

When I clear the cache I go to the server and delete all the folders living in the bmz_cache folder, you might try doing that--make sure the permission for that folder is set to 755 and if all else fails you can get rid of the .htaccess and .keep files and replace them from the IH3 zip

sometimes that gets slightly corrupted.
