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

This file:

admin/functions/extra_functions/functions_bmz_image_handler.php

is causing my admin home page to go blank. I had it happen three times and finally uploaded the admin folder all over again, then uploaded the files one at a time to see which was the culprit. This is a brand new Fantastico installation of 1.3.9h. When I deleted this file, the admin page came back.

The whole point of Image Handler is to save room in my file manager aa well as to have smaller images so my page loads faster.

So, I sell photos. Images on my site are the images I sell. I am processing as thus... I have a folder on my pc which holds my large (4-20mg) images that I make prints from. I also have a folder which holds reduced size images (100-200kb) which I upload to file manager and which are in turn processed by Image Handler and displayed on my website.

Is the above method preferred or is there a better way?

Just upgraded to IH3 from IH2 but I'm still having problem with my zoom. First and second images zoom just fine however the rest of the piccy don't zoom anymore. Anyone knows what the prob with this?

You need to post a link to the exact product page where the issue can be seen. If there's more than one, then just pick one to link. Please don't post your store's main page and then make us search through your site to find a product page that demonstrates the problem.

I would suggest to NOT install Zen Cart via Fantastico, and install it yourself.. The issue is likely related to something in the Fantastico install..

Hi all,
Is there any way to find out the url of the second image in IH?
For example in categories we have our main image shown as
"zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'], $listing->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_HEIGHT, 'class="listingProductImage"')"
I need the url of the second small image, thank you!

I've never had this problem and used Fantastico countless times for Zen installs, but I did upload the whole file set over the original files and it's working now, so thanks!

Hi everybody!
I am using IH for my shop and I was wondering if anybody has seen a module or knows how to make IH show a second image on a mouse hover on the first image in a catalog.
Here is an example - http://www.yoursclothing.co.uk/C/All_Dresses-(18).aspx
Just hover on any image and the second one will appear.
Thank you!

Are you sure you have IH3 installed? I have not seen it behave like yours does where you hover over the image...slightly move to the right edge and the second image appears WITHOUT a pop up.

since you also have a no js coding and the store coding looks different...are you sure the template is not geared differently

what I did was hover to make it change to 2nd image then right-click the image and choose view image...the url is in the location bar and does not go to bmz_cache folder like it should be

so therefore either your no-js script has nulled the use of IH3 or not all files are uploaded to their proper places or the template won't allow it to be use (which is the case of paid for --readjusted templates).

DarkAngel, thank you for your help! I am sorry I was not clear on the subject, that store is just an example what I want to do, it is not run by Zen Cart. So my question - is there any direct link to the additional image of the product, something like - "zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'], $listing->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_HEIGHT)", but for the second image, I need to show both images in my categories pages.
Thank you!

LOL ok, then a link to your store products would be better.

I am not still clear on what exactly you want...if it is to show both lmages as that sample store then not sure how to do that. the zen carts store software will always show the main image on your product page with the additional image near the bottom of the page.

To have the IH3 popup window you set it in the admin section but you can also install lightbox module to have the image open to the larger size in a nice "blacked out" window that also will allow the viewing of the second or however many more images you have for the products.

The problem is throughout the page, on the main page, sub categories, the side nav bar, everywhere.. Noticeable once you hovered through the first 2 lines of thumbnails on the main page.

I don't think I have anything installed that might cause a conflict.

DarkAngel, thanks again. My store - http://www.klybni4ka.net. What I want to do is to show the first additional image when a customer hovers over the main image in a catalog just like in that store. There is an easy way to do it with JQuery but in order to do so I need both images, the main and the first additional. Since I am not a Php developer I have no idea how get the url of the additional first image. As far as I understand how IH works, additional images are generated on the fly, so I need to insert the code that looks for the additional images in my product_listing module. Could somebody give me a hint what exactly I need to do. Or if by any chance there is a direct link to the first additional image, that would be awesome!
Thank you!!!

did you fix this because I just went there and it works...the first row load immediately but the others do load after a few seconds.

I use the latest (not too happy with) Firefox...lol What browser are you using?

Checked in IE8, Google Chrome and Safari and they all seem to be having a popup image.

what I would try is

1. go to the main product page
2. for the ones that have an additional image then right-click on any white area
3. choose "View Page Info"
4. click the media tab
5. look for the url in the listing

it will show you the images, their url but as to how to get them to work right you will most likely need to contact the creator of your theme. Those RI_ template creators really mess around with the store coding and you may mess something up.

I didn't touch anything lol since I posted here cus I really don't know what went wrong. Still doesn't work on mine but if it works on yours, I hope it works on the other visitors as well. I use Chrome. Anyway thanks for checking it out :D

I just installed IH3 and so far so good. Except only some of the pictures explode when you hover. Others do nothing.

And when in product view, when you click on a picture to open it in another window, the picture in the new window is blank.

Anyone have some quick fixes here? The site is http://www.grapediscounts.com

An example of 2 pictures exploding and 1 not, can be found here: http://www.grapediscounts.com/gift-baskets-beach-club-c-157_174.html

Also, when I go to the IH3 page under the tools menu in the admin, it opens up a "page not found" page. I have double checked my installation and everything is correct.

Sounds like you upgraded from IH2. Did you follow the upgrade instructions to the letter?

Recommend you do a full uninstall and reinstall of IH3.
