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

thank you. I have deleted full list of core Zen Cart files that are affected by Image Handler by the manual. Do I have to delete / rename files that I uploaded to my shop ? I mean files in the directories: 1_Install_Files and 2_Required_Core_Edits. I tried it but my shop stopped working so I had to rename it back

now I deleted only:
YOUR_ADMIN/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php
includes/modules/pages/popup_image/header_php.php
includes/modules/pages/popup_image_additional/header_php.php
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/main_product_image.php
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/popup_image_additional/tpl_main_page.php

but I can see IH in admin / TOOLS

I just ckecked and your store (http://www.atelierjana.com) seems to work normally now but without the IH3.

In case you insist on trying to use this module please backup your files and then start over.
It is a great module and personally made it work with out any problems to classic template just by following the "New Installation Instructions" to the included readme file.

I guess you have the power in your hands and the right tool to make it work.
We can only make suggestions cause you have a complete view of your store files and access to fix the problem. :yes:

Hi all!
I am trying to implement jquery lazy load on my product listing pages but in order to do so I need to get the img src for all images. In product_listing.php I found the code that generates images and added to it:
zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'], $listing->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_HEIGHT, 'data-original="' . **DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'] **. '"')

But it gives me a regular src(images/image.jpg). How can I get the IH src?

@Dan123
That really is not a question about Imagehandler :smile:

But you probably want to be working inside the function zen_image which is in html_output.php.

Thank you Niccol for your advice! It worked!

@dan123
Glad to know you got it working. :smile:
Please start a new thread (with a tille like 'using lazy loader with zen' ) and explain exactly what you did so that other people can benefit from your experience.

update: I asked my hosting provider to recovery all web from automatically backup and now my eshop is in the state before I stardet to "try tu upgrade IH". The problem is in the purchased template cos IH work with default template. I asked zencart-template to fix the IH problem .. it seems they will make IH to work .. I will let you know. Thank you all to tell me to backup ... it leads me to aske hosting provider for recovery procces :)

I guess that was the best to do. :smile:
But update this thread with the zencart-template that don't work with IH3 so that less people will have to go through the same trouble.

Hi All,

I have just installed IH3, and after a few tweeks all seems to be working to great effect!

One question which I have spent the last 4 hours trying to find, is that on each product info page, I have the product image shown in the html description under a <img> tag. Is it possible to have IH3 resize and provide the zoom feature for these images, or does it only work with images linked through the usual zen cart images?

Many thanks in advance!

Short answer is images you added to the product description using an image tag will not be managed by IH3.. Though this is not related to IH3 support, I think with a little work you could probably manually add the inline JS zoom code from IH3 to the image tags..

I'm cooking now and don't have time to look.. If someone else helpful doesn't come along before I get back I'll share a down and dirty how to.. (I will assume you are familiar with how to tweak the inline JS to your own needs)

Hi everyone. I understand that my question was asked before (posts #339 to #342 in this thread) but no specific solution was offered at that time.

I have IH3 installed on my live site (Zen Cart 1.3.9h) and it works fine and as expected. I am now upgrading to Zen Cart 1.5.0 on a local test environment and see that IH3 does not appear in the Administration area at all and of course can not be used.

The late ClydeJones suggested some changes for IH3 to work with ZC 1.5.0 and he was about to test it. I think that was about the time he (sadly and unexpectedly) passed away and it was probably left at that. If there any chance that we are given some simple instructions as to how we can implement ClydeJones' idea in post #341 if it has been tested?

Many thanks in advance for any assistance and kind regards.

i installed using the usual install and the instructions in the post and everything seems to work front end and i can set all images sizes etc rear end the only thing not working is the admin part to add / delete extra pics but if you are happy with 1 picture it seems to work, the admin interface comes up but wont load any of the links manager admin links about, anybody can point in direction of what to look at to make this work i would appreciate it also

Happy memories of Clyde.

yes, it should work. You just need to get 1.5 to recognise the page.

However, you should also note that there are some very marvellous features of tightening up the security involved in version 1.5. What Clyde suggested is a way of getting the admin pages to show up. However, IH has some issues as far as meeting the demanding security requirements of a Zen 1.5 install and just because it works it doesn't mean that it is a great idea.

I am sure that at some point IH will be re-written to meet those standards. They are somewhat technical and some people might say that there is not any real problem with IH as it stands. I am unaware of any exploit that is due to IH as it stands.

So, yes, it will work but....

Nods in agreement...:yes: And I have heard rumors that there are folks working on a v1.5 compatible version of IH3. and they will be keeping an eye on making these security corrections.. I don't know anything more than that.. No idea what stage this development is at (or even if it is still going on).. One thing is certain, updating IH3 to work within the new more secure v1.5 world requires a fairly SIGNIFICANT re-write of IH3 to implement.

More information as I know it will be posted here..

I installed a new test store from my active 1.3.9h test store...lol

Then upgraded the files to 1.5 files....but like a big dummy I totally forgot to edit the new files with mods info that may have been in there so IH3/ LB still work but none of the mods show in admin.

So now will go thru zips to see what fiels got affected and then use textwrangler to edit the new ones and hope they show up...lol

I think I will like the superadmin thing backt here once I figure out how to use it...lol

now my question is...since the "other mod files" are in template override folders is that why the mods still work?

yes this is my dummier day....flu has come to visit and won't go away! :shocking:

btw I noticed it waaaaaaay after I posted it

Howdy,

I'm new to Zen Cart. I have been building websites since 2003. (NTIMM)

I have a question about installing Image Handler 3.

In the Image Handler 3 installation instructions:

3. Rename the "YOUR_ADMIN_FOLDER" folder in the "1_Install_Files" & "2_Required_Core_Edits" folders to match the name of your admin folder.

1_Install_Files/YOUR_ADMIN/
2_Required_Core_Edits/YOUR_ADMIN/

Okay, that make sense, as do renaming several other folders to match the template name.

What is confusing to me is that section that says:

5. Upload the files from "1_Install_Files" to your store. (DO NOT upload the "1_Install_Files" folder, just the CONTENTS of this folder -
copy ALL of the add-on files to your store!! Most issues are caused by store owners who decide to NOT load ALL of the module files)

6. Upload the files from "2_Required_Core_Edits" to your store. (DO NOT upload the "2_Required_Core_Edits" folder, just the CONTENTS of this folder - copy ALL of the add-on files to your store!! Most issues are caused by store owners who decide to NOT load ALL of the module files)

If I upload these folders to my main store folder it appears that the new folder renamed the same as the admin folder will overwrite that folder. Am I missing something here?

To which folder(s) in Zen Cart do the Image Handler 3 folders and files need to uploaded?

Thanks in advance for your help.
