Image Handler 4 (for v1.5.x) Support Thread

Gerjan:

Edit; need to read too... sry... best seller sidebox images... I focused on "ZOOM" as in enlarge.. ^^Not sure I understand this.. Are you saying that you got the IH4 zoom feature to work with the best sellers sidebox?? If so, how?? (for the benefit of others :smile:)

No! Just my fault. I thought the question was about zooming images, as in enlarge. After my reply I noticed my mistake that the question was on how to get the hoover/zoom effect to work with the best sellers sidebox.

But as you said: *Suggest hitting up the Best Sellers sidebox support thread.. *

Automatic installation of this format is very unfortunate solution.
Ex.

• My store does not have english folder
• I have renamed classic template folder with many modifications
• I preparing shop on localhost for install to host (After reinstall What should I do? IH not visible and not installed.)

No...you actually had it right because she asked both of the questions in different posts :smile:

  Then simply create a folder for the language you are using in the YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages folder and copy the folder/files from the YOUR_ADMIN/includes/languages/english folder to that folder.

The name of your template folder does NOT matter. The auto installer will find the active template and make the necessary updates when installing.

I've updated my zen cart shop to the latest 1.5.0 version and all working fine. I've attempted to installed Image Handler 4 and although it installed ok, it won't allow me to see the image on the admin page or upload new images. I've set the permissions as stated to 755 on the images and bmz_cache folders.

Looking at the HTML on the admin page, it shows the current images we have as broken images, but looking at the html rendered, it has an extra slash at the start (
<img src="//bmz_cache/0/01146dd9ec435862f8df50639fa96f21.image.26x40.jpg" )
Removing this slash and the image shows perfectly.

I think that the 2 issues are related as I would guess that the tool is trying to upload to a folder which doesnt exist (//bmz_cache).
Any info on how to resolve this would be appreciated.

Thanks

The extra slash in the image URL would indicate that your configure.php files (admin-side or and shop-side) is incorrect.. However, without a URL to see your site all this is guesswork..

Thanks for the prompt reply.

The front end url is https://www.eastfifeshop.com and all appears ok there.

Happy to post the html from the admin side to let you see whars happening.

Where in the folder structure is the configure file found?

If it's the configure.php file it's a Zen Cart setup issue and NOT related specifically to IH4.. Your configure.php files are found in the "includes" folder.. The extra slash would tend to indicate that you have a slash in your configure file that doesn't belong..

Looking through the file there doesn't appear to be anything incorrect there.

Does anything get written to this file during the installation of IH4?

The reason I'm asking is that the file had some strange permissions on it and I wonder if its missing an update.

Thanks again

Found it in the admin configure.php file

All working fine

Thanks for your help

Thanks againIH4's install does NOT touch this file.. Like I stated if it's the configure.php file it's a Zen Cart setup issue and NOT related specifically to IH4.. The extra slash you are seeing would tend to indicate that you have a slash in your configure.php file that doesn't belong there..

Hi,
have installed ih4 on a fresh install and everything went smooth, i think it has problem with product status icon in admin after install.

after installing my product status icon wont switch product on and off

admin/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php

if ($products->fields['products_status'] == '1') {
        echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'action=setflag&flag=0&pID=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . '&cPath=' . $cPath . (isset($_GET['page']) ? '&page=' . $_GET['page'] : '')) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_green_on.gif', IMAGE_ICON_STATUS_ON) . '</a>';
      } else {
        echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'action=setflag&flag=1&pID=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . '&cPath=' . $cPath . (isset($_GET['page']) ? '&page=' . $_GET['page'] : '')) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_red_on.gif', IMAGE_ICON_STATUS_OFF) . '</a>';
      }
      if (zen_get_product_is_linked($products->fields['products_id']) == 'true') {
        echo '  ' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_yellow_on.gif', IMAGE_ICON_LINKED) . '<br>';
      }

and replaced with this code from backup file created automatically during install

if ($products->fields['products_status'] == '1') {
        echo zen_draw_form('setflag_products', FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'action=setflag&pID=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . '&cPath=' . $cPath . (isset($_GET['page']) ? '&page=' . $_GET['page'] : '') . ((isset($_GET['search']) && !empty($_GET['search'])) ? '&search=' . $_GET['search'] : ''));?>
        <input type="image" src="<?php echo DIR_WS_IMAGES ?>icon_green_on.gif" title="<?php echo IMAGE_ICON_STATUS_ON; ?>" />
        <input type="hidden" name="flag" value="0" />
        </form>
<?php
      } else {
        echo zen_draw_form('setflag_products', FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'action=setflag&pID=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . '&cPath=' . $cPath . (isset($_GET['page']) ? '&page=' . $_GET['page'] : '') . ((isset($_GET['search']) && !empty($_GET['search'])) ? '&search=' . $_GET['search'] : ''));?>
        <input type="image" src="<?php echo DIR_WS_IMAGES ?>icon_red_on.gif" title="<?php echo IMAGE_ICON_STATUS_OFF; ?>"/>
        <input type="hidden" name="flag" value="1" />
        </form>
<?php
      }
      if (zen_get_product_is_linked($products->fields['products_id']) == 'true') {
        echo '  ' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_yellow_on.gif', IMAGE_ICON_LINKED) . '<br>';
      }

hope this makes sense and maybe my solution could be checked or maybe the problem is to do with my install,

thanks for great add on

...or maybe the problem is to do with my install.

It's not your install. Just checked two shops I'm working on and you're right. Can't turn them on or off. Thanks for posting this, your 'fix' also worked for me.

(Although the readme already told us to check on this file, but since they were the original files I did not not compare them after the install)

U have read the instructionfile twice. Uploaded the files twize, but i must have missed something.
After upload of all files i get following message when i come to step 9 in the guide:

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again

The installation wont start... Does anyone recognize that?

I am using Zen Cart 1.5.0

What language(s) do you have installed in your shop?

Gerjan:

What language(s) do you have installed in your shop?

Swedish language.

Luftkaffe:

Swedish language.

Ok, thx. I did encouter the same problem with a Dutch language pack. However, I 'luckely' found an older Dutch language pack version for Zen-Cart 1.5. I replaced my admin/includes/languages/dutch.php and then IH4 installed succesfully.

So in my case there is something wrong with this language file that causes the IH4 to fail the install.

I did compare both files changed a few things and tested again without result. So far I did not manage to find the cause of this problem. But my problem is that I'm not a programmer and I have just little knowledge of php.

If anyone is interested to compare my two dutch files, please PM me. Maybe you can find the problem... and maybe help my Swedish friend :wink:

This may sound weird, but maybe you could try to temporary replace the swedish.php by the english version and rename that to swedish.php (and rename your original swedish.php to swedish.bak so you can can switch back quickly when done).

I know it's not a fix, but for a "test" you can determin if this swedish.php is causing he problem AND you ca move on first.

I am using Zen Cart 1.5.0Also it would help a GREAT deal if you looked at your cache folder and tell us what the error log that is created when you see this message says..

True! Sorry, I was to quick with my conclusion that is could be the same problem... you should indeed check your cache first!
