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

I checked and I have Image Handler4 Version: 2.0. So I tried to download the latest version and I keep getting this message:

"Message
Slow Down! You are trying to download files too quickly. You must wait 25 seconds before you may download another file."

So how do I download the file?

What would you charge me to update my Image Handler addon and add the Lightbox addon? You can email me at: info at horse-logos.com. Thanks!

This isn't a IH issue, but related to Zen-Cart.com. I think the timer is set for about a minute between downloads. Wait at least that long before trying your next download.

Yes, I see that this is not a IH issue. I have tried and tried to download the newest version of IH4 but keep getting the message below no matter when I try or how long I wait between trying to download:

"Message: Slow Down! You are trying to download files too quickly. You must wait 26 seconds before you may download another file."

Then you will need to contact the site admins as I have no control over how the module downloads section functions..

Sorry, how do I contact the site admins? Thanks!

Thank you!

I wonder if anyone can help me with this issue that I have never been able to solve since installing Image Handler.

I am using image handler with Zen Lightbox on v1.5.0.

I have uploaded an image to my 'furniture' image directory within the Image Handler admin. This all works fine, and within the admin I can see that small, medium and large images have been successfully created. However when I go to my product detail page the main product image is missing, and instead just the image name is displayed as a hyperlink. If I click this hyperlink my image is displayed in Zen Lightbox correctly.

I have used Firebug and have discovered that my product detail page is looking for an image with the same name that I have uploaded using Image Handler but with a _MED suffix and within images/medium/furniture rather than images/furniture which is the directory I chose in the Image Handler admin.

I have been playing around with this for months but cannot work out why it is exhibiting this behaviour, and wondered whether anyone could point me in the right direction for a fix? The only way I have found to workaround this issue is to create an image with a _MED.jpg suffix and manually upload this to the location my product info page is expecting it to be, but obviously this is not ideal.

An example of a page where this is happening can be found here

I would appreciate any pointers anyone can give me.

Many thanks

Many thanksSOmething in your store/install is screwy which explains the issue.. IH4 is a straighforward install even with ZLB.. You should double check your install and make sure all the right modifications are in place and that, other image add-ons which don't play so nicely with IH4, or your template itself aren't the cause of the issue.. Wish I had more to offer in the way of help..

Hi DivaVocals,

Many thanks for taking the time to respond. I did a new install last night of Image Handler and still no joy. I don't have any other image addons within my site so I am guessing therefore that the issue must be something to do with my template.

Thanks for your help

While revising this latest version I find this code change:

 echo '<a href="javascript:window.close()">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE . ' ' . TEXT_CLOSE_WINDOW) . '</a>';  /*v4.3.1c-lat9*/

This is supposed to show the "no image" image as defined in the admin, but it's incorrect. There should be a comma before the TEXT_CLOSE_WINDOW text or else said text concatenates into the image name preventing it from being found/displayed:

 echo '<a href="javascript:window.close()">' .  zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE,  TEXT_CLOSE_WINDOW) . '</a>';  /*v4.3.1c-lat9*/

Good catch.. will update the package and re-submit..

Hi:
I am using 1.5, and my site is in2paper.com
I have uploaded the image-handler 4 and checked and re-checked my uploads and cant see where I am missing anything,
yet I get:
Missing or unreadable file:/home/inpaperc/public_html/images/large/watermark_LRG.png
Warning Some Image Handler files do not exist. Perhaps you have uploaded them incorrectly? Or the permissions are set incorrectly?
Warning ********** Installation has been aborted. **********
I have downloaded the files a second time and re-checked the installation but still no luck
permissions set to 755
Any help will be appreciated

Hi:

Sorry for trouble and inconvenience

Hi - me again:
This add-on working great,
except for 1 thing:
some of my png images when clicking on larger image takes 3 - 4 seconds to display the new image.
Any suggestions on how to speed up this initial processing of the image? The original png admittedly is a large file (thus my reason for using this add-on)
Regards and thanx
Rufus

Resize your larger images before uploading.. No tips for speeding up the time it takes the browser to load large images except to re-size them..

Hi:
me again.
While this add-on is working just great, I have 1 question/problem and am asking for advise.
I am getting this with some of the iamges:
ftp://inpaperc@.com/public_html/bmz_cache/e/e5ce22d6020be77fcf54739794f30445.image.100x100.png
ftp://inpaperc@.com/public_html/bmz_cache/e/e5ce22d6020be77fcf54739794f30445.image.168x168.png
ftp://inpaperc@*********.com/public_html/bmz_cache/e/e5ce22d6020be77fcf54739794f30445.image.550x550.png, which is giving me a file size of 1,185KB which has resulted in a massive inflation of the size my site.
I am using your suggested IH large image 750; 550...
Do you have a recommended or suggested smaller size I could/should use to reduce this file size
or is this related to the size of my original image
Regards
Rufus

Your images sound like they are too high res to begin with.. So perhaps the IH4 default settings are reducing the image sizes enough.. You might try playing around with the compression settings. (see the readme for details)

Thanx - love the program.....
