Image Handler 2 (for ZC v1.3.8 ONLY) Support

I just installed the new patch/oct1,...

The image hover becomes a wild flicker effect.

Anyone else see that? I removed the patch and it was fine

desert_rat:

I just installed IH2 into a brand new Zen_Cart installation. I had ceated a few products pages that worked fine. I needed to add more than 1 picture to some items so I went with IH2.

Once I did this I lost the picture on the items page. When I click on the catogory the pictures show up, but when I click on a specific item the picture is not there anymore. Also if I click 'Vie Larger Image' it does not show the picture just a box this the the item name in it.

I have been looking through this thread but as it is quite large I though I would ask and see if anyone can help while I still am searching.

Try re-uploading the image. I had this happen to me a few times and re-uploading it did the trick. Strange that it didn't do it to all my products, just 2-3

What browser are you using? Shows up fine for me in IE6/7 and FF1.5. If you can please PM me a link so I can take a quick look at it

I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.7 -

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

i had a similar experience and discovered that IH wasn't updating permissions properly. I didn't fix the code (clueless about much of this, but it may be your server options at fault too) just recursively set the images directory permissons to 777 again

getyourgameshere - I have tried to upload the images of a few products a couple of times and no different. I also tried to add new products and images and the same happens. When I put the cursor over the area were the picture should be it reports a link to images/medium/image_MED.jpg but there is nothing there in the directory. Also if I look at the properties from the picture location it says that it is not cached !!

I also went back and checked all the image directories and bmz_cache directories are set to 777.

Been reading alot but nothing yet.

Just check that file again - is each directory (Images and medium) and the file itself image_MED.jpeg have read permissions?

I just re-enabled zoom and the error seems to be gone.

However, I did noticed a different anomaly.

On the last row of products of any page, whenever I mouseover the bottom half of the images, the zoomed image displays at the top of the page isntead of near my cursor.

Could you please post the exact lines where the errors are, so that I can take a look at it? If you're using IE6, there should be a small alert box in the bottom left corner.. just double click it and copy/paste the message it gives you

is your site on shared hosting? will you post your server info relating to GD?

/public_html/images = 777
/public_html/images/medium = 777

but there is no file in here with the _MED.jpg tag.

/public/bmz_cache = 777

permissions seem to be OK, not sure what to look at next.

Well I have been looking into each file that I uploaded when I installed IH2. I have found one that gets me the picture back on the product page.

it is: includes/modules/main_product_image.php

I noticed that the old file has lines to look for the other size images that are not in the new file. I am trying to figure out the variables work to build the path at this point.

Any help will be appreciated.

I also still do not have alarger image come up when I click on it. But that will be next...one step at a time

After I uncommented the echo lines to see the path names it is looking in

images/medium/<Filename>

but IH does not seem to be creating these resizes. As I posted before all directories are 777.

Please any help is appretiated

Weird. Could you please check to make sure the jscript_imagehover.js file didn't get corrupted during the upload? Its located in includes/templates/template_default/jscript .. shouldbe 5.92kb. If you could please PM me a URL I'd be able to look into it a bit more in depth

Well since I could not figure it out and was not getting anywhere I went ahead and deleted Zen-Cart and IH2. Then started all over from scratch. Installed Zen-Cart then IH2 before building my custom template and adding products.

It appears to be working fine now.

When i was having trouble with output (blank confirmation screen) I eventually solved it by moving all custom code out of template_default and into my custom template. Then I replaced the entire template_defualt directory with a clean copy. It worked so well I now recite this mantra before i add a new module:
"No mods to template_default"

Hi kidz,

I would like to have my additional image shown next to the primary image or in the same neighborhood. I'm setting-up a greeting card site so I would like to have the front (primary image) and inside (secondary image) side-by-side. Right now the secondary image is all the way on the bottom of the product listing while the primary is on the top.

I've looked eveywhere (I think) and can't come up with a solution.

Any ideas?

I am not sure how to due this with IH2 but I you place links in the text body that are to pictures and they should show. This is not a pretty way to due it but it might solve your problem... But I am sure there has got to be a better way to do it then that.

maybe i missed it, as there are so many posts....

when ih2 IS installed i do NOT have any addtional images, as soon as i remove ih2 from the database.. i HAVE addtional images...

anyone else having this issue?

i have the latest ih2 and the latest zencart w/ all updates

are you adding the images in the admin panel? give that a shot.. Tools > Image Handler2.. and click "new file" for the product you're adding it for. Maybe that will work instead.. not sure

If you're adding your images via the admin like the previous post instructed, you will have no problem. To directly upload the images to the server make sure you use the format:

image1.gif (or jpg or any other extension you're using)
image2_01.gif (or jpg or any other extension you're using)
image3_02.gif (or jpg or any other extension you're using)

You will obviously need to substitute image1, image2, image3 with the actually name of the image files.

This instruction only applied if you want to upload additional image directly to the server and have IH2 automatically load them.
