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

http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?311-warning-an-error-occurred-please-refresh-the-page-and-try-again

I have been searching for this answer most of the evening and can't seem to stumble across it (either using wrong search terms, or just flat out overlooking the obvious).. on my site https://jasperandjax.com/storefront I added the facebook share ability and everything with it is working with the exception of not being able to figure out what I need to do to get it to pull the picture up to go with it beings that I am using IH4 so the product doesnt reference the original image file that is uploaded ??

Any ideas on this one?

I am running zen cart version 1.5.1

have lightbox and IH4 installed

when uploading pictures somehow the colors are getting messed around! When i look in the images folder they are fine but when i look in the bmz_cache folder the pictures are different colors...

check them out as links below

www.S E N F I X G L O B A L.com/images/Products/Plastering Tools/Pro Plasterer Trowel_Stainless Steel.jpg is the actual image
www.S E N F I X G L O B A L.com/bmz_cache/3/3a7c2d0b648297f61a2c25c2be6b5896.image.750x488.jpg

As you can see the first image is the correct color blue the second image is totally different color.

What is the deal? I presume it is something to do with IH4:frusty:

the color looks the same to me in those images, accounting for slight differences in lighting or reflection. However, they look like different products - the blade is noticeably smaller when compared to the handle in the second image.

Sorry you are correct it was a different product - the image below is the correct one...

They are both the same picture - nothing to do with lighting etc...

When i upload the image it gets resized etc by IH4 and comes out looking like a Fluorescent blue instead of the real dark blue it actually is...

Any suggestions - i like IH and have never had the issue in the version for 1.3.9h....:no:

OK i have figured it out - none of the good browsers only IE can read that color in a JPG format so converted all images to PNG and bingo:yes:

We have 2 sites and one database
http://www.hyosungparts.asia/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=759 (main site. working. this admin is used to load all the products/images)
http://www.hyosungpartsonline.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=759 image handler is not working on this site (this site draws images from above site) i want to direct bmz_cache location to above site

We are using Image Handler 4 for v1.5.x
i changed bmz_io_conf.php
$bmzConf['cachedir'] = 'http://www.hyosungparts.asia/bmz_cache';
$bmzConf['lockdir'] = 'http://www.hyosungparts.asia/bmz_lock';

also removed some 'fallback to original image code' but did not do anything.

Hello,

I am using Zencart 1.5.0, GD 2.0.34, and I successfully installed IH4. After that, I made the changes needed just like in the Configuration part of the "image_handler_readme". All went well, with no errors. But after I changed in Admin-Configuration-Images the "IH resize images" to yes I had a problem with images not displaying in the store .
I read almost all this thread but I don`t know what I did wrong.
Can you please help me?

Please help. I too have installed the image handler 4 on a new 1.5.1 version, changed the "IH resize image" to yes in the admin/configuration/images area as instructed. I double checked my images and the bmz_cache folders and they are set to 755 permissions. I received all the green "successful install" remarks in my admin after installation. No other plugins installed, using the zen-cart default database installed, so no other additions there either.

So I go to use the feature in the admin/tools/image handler as instructed. The backend seems to work fine with the addition of images, but after loading a few images when I look at the front end, the images don't exist. Not even a blank area. However the additional images from the default install are all there (Bugs Life DVD images) so the zen-cart default additional images feature functions properly. Here is a link to the page that should show an additional image http://www.silverlandbakery.com/150bakery/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_4&products_id=1.

What could be wrong with my install of the Image Handler on a new zen-cart with no other plugins? Please help. I've searched everywhere. I even uninstalled the whole zen-cart and reinstalled both the cart and plugin 3 times with the same problem of the additional images not showing in front end.

Upon taking over a store from someone else we had this problem as well, just for the heck of it "IH resize image" to NO in the admin/configuration/images area as instructed and see what happens it is what I did and it worked

Diva,
I just wanted to let you know that I had the same problem as ksoup getting the images to zoom on hover on a clients site. I wanted to post my solution in case others experience the same issue. In the image settings, admin/configuration/images there is a setting image - use proportional images on products and categories. This was set to zero on my clients site. In looking through your snapshot of the settings in the config tab I noticed that it was set to 1 in your config. As soon as I set that to one on my clients site the zoom on hover started working.

Hello and thank you for this add-on. I've been using an earlier version successfully on another site (older zen version), and have just applied it to a brand new site running Zen 1.50. I'm using the Abiammo-Supremo template, in case that matters, but I think not.

All is well until I edit 'includes/extra_configures/bmz_image_handler_conf.php' and set $ihConf['im_convert'] to '/usr/bin/convert' (verified when I shell in and do a 'which convert').

If that's in place, I don't get any images. Comment it out and replace the value for $ihConf['im_convert'] to '' and all is well.

Clearly this is not tragic, but I'm interested to see if I mucked something up.
Other info on the environment:
OS: CentOS 5.8
WebServer: Apache2
ZenVer: 1.50
PHP Version 5.2.17
ImageMagick Module Version (from phpinfo()): 3.0.1

I've tried with images/ and bmz_cache/ folders chmod'd to 755 and 777 and no change. They're back at 755 now.

Example live URL: http://cprtools.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=3

At present, $ihConf['im_convert'] is set to '', so the images are visible.

Thanks in advance for any tips/pointers.

Best,
-Ray

PS: Side note, possibly related. I'm not getting any pics on hover either...again, not tragic, but more curious.

Replying to my own question, I've found the answer.

I was digging a bit deeper and shelled in to the system to talk the error log...saw this:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/imagick.so' - libICE.so.6: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory in Unknown on line 0

As I'm 'root' on this box, I looked at /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/imagick.so and lo and behold, it's not executable. chmod'd that to 755 and voia la...all seems to be working (though not the hover stuff...I'll look at that next).

This is a cPanel server which leads me to believe that when you enable php imagick after the install, it needs to be manually made executable.

I hope this helps someone else down the line.

I like others (Ksoup) had some problems getting mouse over action to work.
Being a newbie at setting up the site I was scratching my head and reading and adjusting my settings in the belief that I had done everything required.
Ad then your post point (1) came along and the light bulb went on - I felt silly for missing it in the setup.

Thankyou so much.

Regards

I'm re-building one of my sites with a fresh 1.5 install and just yesterday I installed IH4:

http://www.promdressesforless.us/

At first my IH didn't work either. But then I remembered two things:

1. Had to turn it on in admin/configuration/images/IH resize images;

2. I ended up having to manually move the various INSTALL files into my respective template folders. I've had to do this before, mostly when switching templates to test. You might take a look at your template files to see if the IH4 files are inside them.

Now IH4 is working and zooms my smallest thumbnails.[/QUOTE]

For some reason the images on my website all vanish when I switch the Image Handler on.... Can anyone help?

Fixed. Disabled then re-enabled the Proportions. (Image - Use Proportional Images on Products and Categories) set to 0 then 1 and works now.

Thanks for this great mod! I have installed this on a test cart on my computer (using WampServer) and install went great, can add in the additional photos, etc. The only thing that I cannot get to work is the Mouse Over Hover. I have read and re-read the instructions before posting here, and checked and re-checked my files to insure that all is correct (as I see this being a common problem when reading through this thread.)

When in a Product Description page, it shows the 4 Additional Images that I have added to the product in small image sizes. When I hover my mouse over the image nothing happens, but I can click the small image and it brings up the large image! Image is perfect except no Mouse Over to do this, will only work by clicking the small image. Also, I don't know if it is of any consequence, but under each of the small images are the standard Zen Cart "Larger Image" words.

I know that the Hover has to be "turned on" in the Config->Images and consistent image size settings applied also, but I cannot seem to see where I have gone wrong. Here are the settings in Admin->Config->Images as maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me after looking at it for so long.....

I have also checked on WampServer control panel in PHP Extensions and php_gd2 is checked so that the GDLibrary is actively working. Sorry if this is an obvious one, but I need a new set of eyes to see what I'm not seeing!

Thank you in advance for your help,

I just downloaded and merged the core files and I am getting ready to upload the image handler 4 to my v1.5.1 store and I followed the instructions very carefully. My question is why are there an image folder and an include folder in the read me folder. http://www.zen-cart.com/images/smilies/huh.gif They look like they're important but there is no mention of them in the installation instructions. Should these be in the installation files???http://www.zen-cart.com/images/smilies/unsure.gif

Just wondering why they're in the read me folder. Any ideas?

Tom RUmmmmm.. Because they are files used by the readme (which is an HTML file)..

The installation instructions were carefully crafted and vetted by several folks.. They are quite clear about what files you need to install this add-on..

I have it installed and it works but I have a few questions that I could not find an answer to:

1. It zooms on my category images, and product list pages, can it be shut off. The only place I want a zoom is on the actual product page.
2. It does zoom on my additional images but not the main product picture. Any idea why?
