Image Handler 5 (for v1.5.5 - v1.5.8) Support Thread

1st time using IH5 :blush:

Is it normal that the watermark doesn't appear on the product listing page images?

All 3 configs (WATERMARK_SMALL_IMAGES, WATERMARK_MEDIUM_IMAGES & WATERMARK_LARGE_IMAGES) have a value set to "yes".

I've just tested IH 5.1.1, setting all watermarks enabled and using the Responsive Classic template with the demo products. I can see the watermark on the small images, but its very faint.

Nope, changed to the Responsive Classic template.

Watermarks now only appear on additional images and on images within the popup window.

I am not worried about it, just installed to see if it conflicted with a mod I was working on.

There's apparently something awry with the merge/update that you made for the /includes/modules/alto/additional_images.php, since no images are being populated. Remember that the Alto theme started out with IH-4, which needs to be fully replaced for IH-5 to operate properly.

Yes! Absolutely right. The template is now updated with IH5.

Another question I have is regarding the product listing images. I have multiple sized images, how can I have them all the same size so the images look organized and not of various sizes? Same goes for new products, featured, etc. I indicated 300 x 240 on the config/image page with no luck.

Thanks again!

I usually configure IH-5 for a minimum height and let the width "go with the flow", since it's the image-height variations that can make a site visually unappealing.

I have always assumed the opposite. After having a look, yes I agree the image-height fixed size looks much better.

Thank you!

Hi,
Just installed IH5 on a fresh zen cart 1.5.5f, than added fual slimbox after.
All seemed well except I just noticed the Mini IH Icon doesn't actually show on the Admin Product pages, all the other icons shows except the IH5 icon.
The only I can see IH5 is to go to Admin > Tools > Image Handler 5.

What have I done wrong??

You're apparently missing the /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/extra_datafiles/image_handler.php file, which defines the constant FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER.

Thank you for your reply, just checked and the files are there.
Where to next please?

A couple more things that you can check. Starting with zc1.5.5, the file /YOUR_ADMIN/includes/modules/category_product_listing.php should contain the following code fragment around line 367:

<?php if (defined('FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER') && file_exists(DIR_FS_ADMIN . FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER . '.php')) { ?>
        <?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER, 'products_filter=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . '&current_category_id=' . $current_category_id) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icon_image_handler.gif', ICON_IMAGE_HANDLER) . '</a>'; ?>
<?php } ?>

You've already checked that the extra_datafile (which defines FILENAME_IMAGE_HANDLER) exists, so the other requirements for that icon's display are:

1. The presence of /YOUR_ADMIN/image_handler.php.
2. The presence of /YOUR_ADMIN/images/icon_image_handler.gif.

Are both of those files present?

Thank you Cindy, your solution for looking for (category_product_listing.php), was the key :) It fixed it!
I forgot to mention that before installing IH5, I installed IH4 because I didn't notice there was an IH5, so I uninstalled IH4 from the Admin Tools, which I think must have caused this .php file to be altered and also leave a couple of outer variations of that file which were not deleted when I uninstalled IH4.

I do have one other issue if you can help me with please, my additional images are showing a MEDIUM size image on Image Handler Page, just small and large.. is this normal??
Also, I want to make the main front page images for my products for the what's new and featured, I have changed very much all the sizing in Config > Images, but the images stay the same, any ideas??
Thank you once again!!!

SORRY, could't edit in time.
in above message I meant to say (my additional images are [NOT] showing a MEDIUM size image on Image Handler Page).

Right, for IH-5 the medium images are no longer displayed (or generated) within the admin for additional images ... since they're not used in the storefront.

Note also that there's a fair amount of documentation on the plugin's GitHub repository: https://github.com/DivaVocals/zen_Image-Handler.

Just scroll down to view the readme.md file and make use of the links towards the bottom of the page for additional information regarding the admin configuration and "Image Handler" operations.

Okay folks, I've spent a long time reviewing this and I must be missing something quite obvious. Searching high and low, I can't find others representing something similar. Can you help me narrow this down?

This issue was discovered after upgrading to php 7.1, upgrading to zencart 1.5.5f and upgrading to IH 5. When trying to add the first image to a product through IH, the following error is encountered. The physical file is uploaded to the correct directory.

Error!

Unable to determine the page link!

Function used:

zen_href_link('', '', 'SSL')

Using ZenCart 1.5.5f
Recently upgraded to 1.5.5f through standard docs
Installed via FTP upload, ZC Install
PHP 7.1.13 / MySQL 5.5.5
Custom template is in use

Please let me know if any other details would be helpful. Thank you!

@jsickles, what version of IH are you using?

@lat9 - thank you for your response! Of course I forgot to provide the IH version, given I was in the IH5 thread. :) The version installed was IH 5.1.0 and when I was typing this reply, I put in the words 'latest version' as well. However, to ensure this was accurate before posting, I checked - and sure enough a 5.1.1 was recently released which has a fix for this. After updating, everything appears to be working. Thanks again!

@jsickles, thanks for the follow-up that the issue you described has been corrected in IH-5.1.1.

@lat9 - I've got a new one for you if you don't mind. After a lot of digging in 5.1.1 it appears that when using additional images, the file type extension is case sensitive. When a case different case is uploaded, the file type shows red and fails to load on the store page. Is this a new behavior? Easy correction? Documentation I'm overlooking? Thank you!

Jeff

Linux is generally case sensitive. To your server image1.jpg and image1.JPG are two entirely different files.

On a windoze box, your best bet is spacetornado renamer. It can change the case on all your files AND get rid of the spaces folks tend to add to the name. Standard use is lower case extensions with no spaces in the names.

Your cpanel can change image types and resize the images.

If you've already uploaded a large amount of JPG files, you can change that with a MySQL update.
