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

peanut77 you're a total genius - thanks. :smile:

Now I've got that sorted (and whilst I'm here!) do you have any ideas why, when i click on one of my products why there is no photo for the larger image? there is a link in place of the photo which, when clicked is blank! ( https://www.handcrafteduk.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_4 )

Don't worry if you're not sure - you've already helped me enough today! :wink2:

Unfortunately I'm no genuis but been stuck on enough stuff and pulled enough hair out to answer this one :-) and I'm hanging round this forum like a bad smell in the hope someone will take pity on me and help me solve my vanishing zoom problem...

In the case mentoned above - i would simply go back and use image handler to put your pics on saves any hassle - and remember if you like image handler make a wee donation.

Hello!

I'm back!! :blush:

I've managed to get the images do all be different sizes now but there's a problem. The photos all appear fine on the initial product page ( https://www.handcrafteduk.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_4 ) but when you click on one of the didgeridoos, instead of the medium image appearing there is a blank space. When clicking on 'teak didgeridoo - larger image' it is blank.

I've set the permissions in images/medium and images/large to allow zencart to write there but it didn't solve the problem. Oh, also the folder bmz_cache is writable.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gary :smile:

Oh, and Peanut, I hope you've solved the zoom issues!

I'm not sure how you are entering product info, but the browser is trying to find http://www.handcrafteduk.com/images/medium/240906%20%2811%29_MED.JPG which doesn't exist.

It shouldn't be doing that anyway with IH2 installed - and did you use the latest version from the Downloads section or did you get it from https://www.breakmyzencart.com? (Sadly, Tim seems to have disappeared from view and the version on his site is now out-of-date)

I haven't got time to speculate on possible problems, but if you want to PM me admin access details, I'll take a quick peek for you and see if it's anything obvious.

Eureka!!! I found out what i was doing wrong.

Just in case anyone is having the same problem I'll point out my error! When I was uploading my image I was only putting it into the default image file thinking it would automatically scale, and insert, it into the larger images on the website. This obviously isn't the case!

So, when adding an image browse and put THE SAME image in default, medium and, large and it'll work.

I bet everyone else already knows this! :P

Actually that's not necessary - but if it works for you, that's fine.

Normally, the first image is added via the product data entry page and placed in the directory you want it in. The section you are using is usually best used for adding additional images.

I posted this question earlier and was told to visit breakmyzencart but found no answer.

Does anyone know how to remove the Plus Signs + that image handler creates on the bottom right of the thumbnails? Or maybe just a lead to what files to look at.
THanks,

I found how to change the medium image. It's the Product Info - width and height parameters under admin-->config-->images

Bad news is I have to re-do my template if I want my medium images to be larger :) Guess it uses the same on the IH zoom as it does in the product images space on an item's listing. Which blows out my template. Oh well :)

Don't know if someone else has figured this out yet, but if you want your small images' zoom to use the large image (instead of the medium) I figured out how to do that (see at www.zencart136.jadetrue.com). Open up includes/classes/bmz_handler.class.php and find aprox line 691:

$zoom_sizetype = ($this->sizetype=='small')?'medium':'large';

to

$zoom_sizetype = ($this->sizetype=='large')?'medium':'large';

Hope that helps some!

Along with a few other people think I foudn a bug:

When writing in the BMZ Cache the script is automatically naming all folders and images as user / group apache / apache, can anybody confirm this?

The Zen I am working on is on Plesk, anybody know where to change it to save me looking?

Just wanted to suggest a feature for image handler.

I miss the way the old IH handled images, by creating a small/medium/ and large in their own folders. I host quite a few websites where the people aren't all that computer savvy, and they have no idea how to reduce the size of their images from their camera before uploading. IH2 does its job by reducing the size of the images for the web, but doesn't address the issue of storage of these super large images. With the old version, I could just suggest to people that were running out of space that they could just delete all images in their /original folder if they had originals locally.

I would love it if IH2 could somehow replace the original image with the large size image, or somehow offer a batch resizing option to save space on the server.

Just my .02~

Admin --> Configuration --> Images

Look in there.

Hi - Just to post the solution for something which was driving me insane - I broke the image handler small image zoom by amending the small image size in config>images and couldn't fix it or find a fix (unistalled reinstaled etc etc) so to end a long story

Your small image sizes must be the same size as your product listing image sizes or the zoom won't work (this was also causing errors to be thrown up as well).

One happy image handler bunny :-)

Has anybody got any experience making image handler use image magick?

I defined it in the extra conf files - anything else I am missing?

Thanks, Alex

Just got Image Handler up and running.

I have a product that is supposed to have a second image:
http://216.246.55.121/~obaby/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_10&products_id=41

in the place where the image is supposed to be, i get :
} // endif

actually, the } // endif is on every product page...

Can someone help me get the second images back?

Thanks, ad

First I want to say this is a great contribution to zen-cart! thank you!
Second I have a question:

• Will there be an option to have mouseover attribute images? The same technique as the normal images, but for the attribute images.

I don't know if it's already there, but I couldn't find it with the forum search!

Thanks in advance!

Very unlikely - the author of the module has not been seen for several months now; although it's possible someone else may consider enhancing it.

I have a problem in that the category images zoom no problem, however when you get into the categories the images in the product list do not zoom... andy ideas?

I know the server has php5 without gd (I wish I knew how to reinstall with gd or just go back to php4 with gd.. but I dont) could this be the problem?

the site is http://jaffasworld.co.uk

thanks in advance

This is what happened to me - double check that the small image size is not set to be smaller than the product listing size or the images don't zoom.

Has anybody been able to get IH2 working on 1.3.6 after upgrading from 1.3.5?

I am trying to upgrade but for some reason none of my old product images are showing up. I uploaded the bmz cache folder that contained all the images, I uploaded all the IH2 files, and imported my database.

IH2 itself seem sot be working ok. I was able to add images to a couple of test products I created.

However, I can't get the old images I had on the 1.3.5 version of the store to display. If I go to IH2 Manager I don't see any images assigned to the products.

help :(
