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

You'll need to post/ask this in your lightboxes support thread..> finlander:

another quick one:

IH2 w/ lightbox works great, but in admin I still have the old pop-up browser window for enlarging images. It doesn't really matter to me, but did I miss a switch somewhere for turning on lightbox in admin?

Does anyone know why image lightbox 2 doesn't allow me to display additional images with price by attributes? I need extra images for my TPP to work and I am having a hard time getting the extra images to display after I configure the attributes for a product. I don't know if I need to enable something to get the options or not?

Thank you for any ones help or insight!

Not sure what your specific IH2 issue is.. Issues with TPP and your lightbox add-ons need to be posted in the appropriate support threads for those modules..> shortysclimbin:

May I start by saying please forgive me for asking what may be in these many posts. I am tired and my eyes hurt. And dang, there is a lot posts here since I was in this area.:shocking:
I have been at this 5 days straight late into the nights fixing a discovered hack, cleaning up my server and upgrading to 1.3.9h from 1.37.1 (that had all the security updates). I just got the Admin up and running today :smile: but no store yet :frusty:

I have been troubleshooting by installing only the latest and current add ons as I convert.
I had an older IH2 installed and want to remove the old IH2 SQL file from my back up data base. The Admin IH2 says its not installed therefore I can not remove it (1.3.9h).

So is there another way to get that old DB cleaned up and then install this latest IH2? Like a SQL uninstall that I can run? or?
There may be other things to remove, but I'll look into that later I suppose. Its time to go to bed.
Thanks

I've just installed IH2 and do not have a clear idea of how I'm supposed to use it, eg, do I upload the "large" image to the images/large folder or doesn't it matter? Do I have to abide by the usual naming convention, ie file_LRG.jpg etc ? Sorry, but I couldn't face having to read through 606 pages of this thread !

Also with regards to what files to upload, naming conventions etc, there are some recent posts by joyjoy where she had questions regarding some of these concerns.. If you use the thread search tools, and search fro joyjoy, you'll locate these recent posts.. That plus the extensive readme should get you what you need..

The IH2 readme does a fairly good job of explaining how to configure and use IH2.. If you can provide an idea of which part of the setup/configuration/usage instructions are unclear, it might help us to help you out..:smile:

Thanks but I'm still in the dark! If I place the large image in the large image folder and then in IH2 I browse to the file and save, I get three image files all of the same size - in the IH2 interface that is, on the front end, the images are resized correctly. In the front end, the small image is scaled down to its thumbnail size but its real size is presumably that of the large image. Or is this not the case ?

I did some research in my diaries and it looks like I put IH 1.3.5 on ZC 1.3.5.
I later upgraded to 1.3.7.1 but it still worked and I was not wanting to fix something not broke.

Now I am trying to make a new 1.3.9h store with only the well "tested" mods that I need and my old sql file that is upgraded.

My new 1.3.9 Admin does have IH but claims it is not installed. If my thinking is straight, and per the instructions, I need to get the old SQL unistalled for the version 1.3.5 before upgrading per the much better improved instructions in this latest 1.39 I have been reading about.
I hesitate to reinstall an old version back into this 1.3.9h just to make the admin uninstall work. It is just going to mess with my head tracking all the updates and comparing files and may not work anyway. I thought I remembered an uninstall sql, but just have no luck finding it.
Anyone know a way to get this done?:dontgetit

Install and UNINSTALL as is suggested in the readme for the latest version of IH2 is THE way to remove a prior version of IH2.. There is no other means provided in the IH2 fileset to achieve this.. (the install/uninstall function executes the SQL needed to make the necessary DB changes)Otherwise you can manually seach your database for the entries IH2 adds to the configuration and configuration_groups tables and remove them manually.> Justwade:

I may try editing the DB, done a little before but I hope its obvious what I need to discard. Need to remember how. I thought of trying to install a fresh old version 1.3.5 and check for code where it is hard coded in this 1.3.9h. Does not sound fun and may not get that Admin to recognize my DB sql. Shame, all my picts look okay in Categories, but I may have other issues like the "blank store page" and that may have nothing to do with this wanted IH2 updated version.
Thanks again,

If you already have the old version installed there really is NO REASON to not simply follow the instructions in the latest version of IH2 for removing older versions of IH2.. It's as simple as uninstalling (in your case you will need to run the install first), remove the obsolete files (list of obsolete files is provided in the readme), then uploading the new IH2 fileset..

Not sure why you are hesitant to do this since this is the EASIEST way to ensure that the older version of IH2 is correctly uninstalled.. (which is why we tested AND recommended this approach in the readme for the latest version). The ONLY thing the IH2 install and uninstall does is to add the needed IH2 entries to the DB.. YES you can remove them manually, but why take a longer approach when there IS a simple solution available..

Thanks again,

IH2 working fine on Zencart version 1.3.9h. Except when I tried to upload an additional image using the IH2 Manager -> Add New. I selected an image from my computer and when I click "save", it gave me this error ...

"Error!
Unable to determine the page link!
Function used:
zen_href_link('', '', 'NONSSL')
"

If you search this support thread you will find some hints and insight into what causes this.. This page is one that might help..

Will be submitting this update tonight..

Finally had a chance to look at and fix this.. This is a MINOR update which addresses the following:
(Rev 8d) Corrected minor issue where the "Clear Cache" function removes the .htaccess and .keep files from "bmz_cache" folder (requiring you to manually FTP these files back after clearing the cache from the admin). Clearing the cache from the IH2 admin no longer removes these files.

I was wondering about Clear Cache. Whenever I used it in the past, it didn't seem to do anything. All the thumbs that IH had created in bmz_cache remained there. So, I figured that maybe Clear Cache was only clearing a cache of the thumbs that had been used in admin (I haven't even looked to see if one exists), such as when you create a product or category and upload the image to go with it and then preview the image, all in admin. I never could see that Clear Cache was doing anything discernible-- is that related to this new fix?

That's all my fix addressed..

Okay, I have to admit that I didn't read the readme for the upgrade, as I'm used to being able to simply upload the files. However, I removed all of the new files and replaced them with the originals and then uninstalled IH, uploaded the new files and reinstalled IH. I have no medium images (on the product info page) and no hover/zoom effects. Help? Please :) .

Is anyone successfully using the new version with the Fual Slimbox?

Did you re-enter your image settings? (they would have been wiped out and reset to default when you uninstalled and re-installed IH2)

digidiva-kathy:

Is anyone successfully using the new version with the Fual Slimbox?Yep.. As we stated in the readme, we tested both Zen Lightbox and Fual Slimbox for compatibility, and had not trouble getting wither one of these llightbox mods working with IH2.. You will need to use Winmerge or Beyond Compare to merge the files IH2 has in common with Fual Slimbox..

I'm having problems with ImageHandler2. I downloaded and applied the latest version on the weekend.

The fancy zoom feature does not work for most pictures. I thought it was working, and appeared to stop working when I cleared the cache. It does however still work for the images in the left sidebar under new products.

Anyone know what I need to do to enable this for all items again?
