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

DivaVocals:

• Link to your site (specifically links DIRECTLY to the products which work correctly AND links to the ones that don't -- please don't ask folks to fish through your site looking for the issue)

• What are your image settings??

You can see the problem in
http://themustardseedworkshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=78&products_id=266

Clicking the medium image to show large image will not work. The source code shows invalid url to bmz_cache.

Most other product images on the site does work, as they are connecting into the images/large folder.

i will try to look at the conficure files to see anything.

The link helps a lot.. (and this is EXACTLY why we ask for links.. helps keep the guessing down to at least more informed guesses:smile:)

So in addition to checking your configure.php file, you also need to check your lightbox file merges.. Part of the problem may be due to the lightbox code not being merged correctly either..

I have installed this module on my test site with no problems. I just finished my template on my test site and moved it over to my live site (along with the module.) I can't seem to get the module to work now. I figured that I must have only uploaded bits and pieces of it when I installed my template so I went in and re added the module. But I just can't seem to get it to work. http://www.frompropertorocker.com Thanks in advance!

Have you installed it in the admin? as in admin --> tools --> Imagehandler2 --> Install image handler

I see no trace of Image Handler apart from the CSS & JS files being included

make sure all the files have uploaded from Image handler

that means all of those in the "YOUR Template" folders in the both the modules and templates sections

Which Rev8 release?? The initial release or one of the a, b, c, d incremental releases???

sigh

We need the USUAL compliment of information that we always ask for here..

• Link to your site (specifically links DIRECTLY to the products which work correctly AND links to the ones that don't -- please don't ask folks to fish through your site looking for the issue)

• What are your image settings??

Providing this when you posts helps cut down on back and forth guess sessions.. Much better if you provide FULL information up front.. Thanks:wink2:

Thank you for your interest.
I tried to install the rev8D on this site.

As you can see, the only result i obtained is the problem inside the products pages where the image big is not shown.

These are the IH settings:

• IH resize images yes
• IH small image filetype no_change
• IH small image background 255:255:255
• IH watermark small images no
• IH zoom small images yes
• IH small image compression quality 85
• IH small image hotzone no
• IH medium image filetype no_chang
• IH medium image background 255:255:255
• IH watermark medium images no
• IH medium image compression quality 85
• IH large image filetype no_change
• IH zoom medium images no
• IH medium image hotzone no
• IH large image background 255:255:255
• IH watermark large images no
• IH large image compression quality 85
• IH large image maximum width 750
• IH large image maximum height 550
• IH watermark gravity Center
• IH zoom gravity SouthEast

P.S. thank you very much! :D

What are the rest of your image settings.. IH uses them in addition to the IH2 sepecific settings..

From what I can see IH2 is not managing your images at all.

You need to recheck the following:

• Did you turn IH2 on? (as in admin --> tools --> Imagehandler2 --> Install image handler)
• Did you check all your image settings (there are recommended/suggested image settings in the readme)
• Did you correctly install IH2 (renamed template and admin folders to match your store's template and admin folders)
• Did you skip any install steps (sometimes folks decide an install step is silly/unimportant, and that is often a BIG cause of module install failures)It is likely that one or a combination of these steps is the cause of your IH2 setup not working as it should.

Lastly where did you get your template from?? What I have seen more often than not is theme companies (like Template Monster or their affliate sites) who have created themes which do not use standard Zen Cart code and thus interfere with module installations. If your theme fileset included files modified by IH2 it's highly possible that whatever customizations they made to those files are not properly merged in with IH2's required coding.

I have re uploaded the whole thing and made sure it was installed in the admin and it still doesn't work. I noticed that it works great for my additional images like here http://frompropertorocker.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=4_73&products_id=163 but it doesn't seem to work on any small images.

Check your image settings.. There are suggested settings in the readme file. Right now IH2 is NOT managing your images at all.. The only thing that is working is the image hover.. and that is largely driven by the IH2 settings and the IH2 javascript.. What IH2 is supposed to do (manage your images) is not happening on your site at all..

Same suggestions to you I just asked above..

Thanks. I will go through the whole checklist again.

I got my template here http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_53&products_id=1802

Okay.. so no worries on the template.. She designs well written templates (none of that hacked up Template Monster crap..:laugh:)

Lol! I'm glad on that.

I got it! Thanks so much! I went through and did the recommend settings for the images. :)

Are you saying it's fixed?? Because I still do not see your images beig served up from the bmz_cache folder..

It works for me in Firefox, Chrome and IE with no problems. I have that in my folder. I'm not sure why it's not being served up then.

http://frompropertorocker.com/images/define%20me%20clothing/alphabetsoup.jpg

this is not being served from the bmz_cache folder as it should..

Also not sure if it's part of the issue, but you need to get out of the practice of having files and folders with spaces in the names.. Browsers choke on this kind of stuff.. Using the examply above, the BETTER way to name your folder is as follows:
define_me_clothing

or

defineMeClothing

or

define-me-clothing

I personally prefer option 2 as it makes the name understandable and saves on the number of characters used in naming files/folders

How do I get it so it points to that folder? I have 1100 + products uploaded with pics is there a way I can rename the folders and the pics will still show up without having to re upload them all again?

I think I have it now. I set the permissions to 777 on the bmz_cache folder instead of the 755.
