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

kwrosenzweig:

I have images in my product descriptions using img src. Does this mod handle those images as well?No it doesn't. It handles the products images

I tried searching this thread so forgive me if this has already been answered. I've installed (twice) to make sure all the files were copied correctly after trying to do Image Handler 2 yesterday and people told me of this newer - thanks! But I'm having the same issue; when I go to
Make sure Image Handler 3 is installed. Admin > Tools > Image Handler3 > Admin

it is not there. I had the same issue w/version 2 yesterday so I was unable to "un-install".
Does anyone know if there is a common missed step that would have it not appear in the admin - tools area?

Thanks in advanced for any assistance!

Have you made sure you uploaded all the files to the correct places?

Did you manually upload the files or use a program.

to uninstall it you don't need to really go to admin area but go to your server and manually remove ALL the files you uploaded for both IH2 and IH3, this way you know they are all gone.

Then upload each file again from the IH3 zip. It really does work almost out of the box and should show in admin IF you did not miss any admin folder files. Remember to do the 1_install files first then open the 2_install folder and upload those too.

on a side note, love your shop....really gothic cute. But I have trouble reading your text--both the purple and white with the tiled background...suggest you get a seamless tile to not distract too much, or make the one larger.

Before you spend anymore time troubleshooting this you need to make sure your have the right version of Image Handler for the version of Zen Cart you are running.. If this is a Zen Cart 1.5 store this is your issue. Image Handler 2 or 3 do not work with Zen Cart v1.5.. (and it's VERY clear in the downloads which version of Image Handler goes with which version of Zen Cart)

I have searched every thread I can think of to answer this question ... I may not have the right search term and have overlooked somewhere, so my apologies if I am asking in the wrong forum.

I am currently running Zen-Car V1.3.9 and because of it I installed Zen Lightbox V1.6.2. Today I also read the documentation and uploaded Image Hander 3.

Everything works wonderfully! It's just terrific, there were no errors, except I cannot get the additional images to show up in Lightbox. The first category product image shows in Lightbox but none of the additional images. Each additional images opens in a pop-up box. Also Admin> Configuration> Zen LightBox> Gallery Mode is turned on - so I am assuming it might be something I am missing with the hook-up with Image handler (?)

I have been reading different posts where other users have had a variation on theme type problem, but each experience seems to be connected to an error. I have not run into any errors, so I feel like I might be missing something simpe?

Re-read the readme.. There are specific instructions for installing Image Handler and Zen Lightbox together.. Follow these instructions and your problem will be resolved.. I believe similar instructions exist in the Zen Lightbox instructions as well..

I am using
Zencart V1.3.9h
I have the following addons:
Google Analytics
Editable Centerboxes
Column Layout
Slideshow

I have just installed Image Handler 3 - which works great (thank you for all the hard work put into this)
my only problem is that on my larger images in the product_info_layout - when you click on larger image, the popup opens but does not display an image - my guess is it is not finding an image and I am not sure why (pulling out my hair here)

For an example you can see: http://mefyshop.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=44

In the popup window it opens a tiny little box and puts in the words (xxxx-productname - click image to close)

Please help, I am now totally lost as to what the actual problem could be - even compared certain template files with the origional template default ones and cannot find the error.

Thanks

it says: /shop/corpribbon.png can not be found

so try there first...it might also be a typo somewhere or maybe you did not get all files uploaded

Thanks for the reply - I did check that - all the files are there
the code it is giving is: /shop/books.png
INSTEAD OF
/shop/images/books.png

Where do I find where it is reading that source code from? It is missing the /images/ folder when trying to read that image?

so for that one it should be reading it as /shop/images/corpribbon.png

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd bet that your Template Monster template is the issue.. It's likely that they stripped code Image Handler needs to work properly.. You can test my theory by trying to switch to the classic template.. I'll bet you will not have the same issues if you do..

Only other thing I can suggest is rechecking your install..

Have you tried going into admin and uninstalling, clearing out bmz cache folder then reinstalling via admin again?

I am trying to find where it is found in the files but I don't think I can help that---adding code I hit/miss at for editing but other stuff is smarter than me at times...lol

totally forgot that you were using a TM template....which I tell all that they may be pretty but they do mess up more than you know, then find out when trying to add mods.

pica-flur has some nice templates just like what this one looks like--prettier in my opinion and there are many free ones here that do not screw up stuff

I may have to do that, I am one of the few that does actually sit and read through every help file, installation file, config etc when installing a mod. I know that for this one, the installation files cover everything, and I did do a comparison with WinMerge on the core edit files. My guess is it may have to do with the main_product_image.php file in modules. I will go and check it again. Drives me crazy when these guys mess with the core coding of zencart - why they don't just comment out what they change (so at least we know what they did) is beyond me.

I do wonder though if it has anything to do with a jscript conflict? I also installed Tab Products Pro (version for 1.3.9) and I see that it is not putting the tabs up, rather just displaying as list items.

Hmm something def up. Cannot even select to use the classic template from Admin. It only shows the current one. First time I have come across this - do you know how I get that back?

IH3 and TPP should work together. I have used it many times together. It is more likely it has something to do with your TM template

Ditto.. TPP and IH work perfect together..

I am POSITIVE that your Template Monstrosity template is the root cause of your issues.. Try another template.. I'm positive your issues will disappear.. Picaflor Azul or Brandon Turpin's templates are the way to go IMHO if you are not going to "grow your own" template and you want something nice..

I concur - I have made 2 changes and it is working YAY!!!
I went back and did a win merge against the file (inc/mod/pages/popup_image/header_php.php)

The first line in yours says $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HEADER_START_POPUP_IMAGES_ADDITIONAL');
mine says $zco_notifier->notify('NOTIFY_HEADER_START_POPUP_IMAGES'); - I must have missed that when doing a win merge - missing the ADDITIONAL part
Your file in the module has no ?> as the last time - mine did, so I took it out.

I am now going to go and double check the other file too (inc/mod/pages/popup_image_additional/header_php.php), so that I do not have the same problem with additional images.

Thank you for all your help.

Have you tried uninstalling the tabs mod and seeing if that makes a difference---using the default template?

I have had to work on a couple of TM templates and trust me they are no joy to fix. You could just add the drop down menus to the one that is already there instead of the added tabs at the top, maybe? Depends on their drop menu coding too if it is in a separate file it might maybe can be done.

You could also use win-merge to check the original zen cart file you suspect with the one from tm template to see what is different too and that could give you an idea---or just use another template totally.

That's why my policy is this. I don't do Template Monstrosity templates at all!! Period.. no exceptions.. IMHO, Template Monstrosity is the go to crutch folks like to run to for "pretty" templates.. No reason to anymore.. there are now LOTS of good options available.. I also "grow my own" because it totally is easy enough to do.. Barebones is a nice template to use as a starting point for "growing your own" template IMHO..
