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

nigelt74:

The error you are getting is because the showtrail method isn't defined.

This is caused because you haven't included the image handler JS file (or the css one for that matter).

run the Internet explorer developer tools (F12), select script, and then run the debugger and it will tell you.
I guess if I had at LEAST done a "view source" I woulda seen that!!!:oops:

Thanks a bunch. :wink:

I discovered that the JS and css files where not in the proper folders. I added them to my zj_silver folders and everything is fine now.

I appreciate everyone helping with this. :yes:

Sorry ment new post not reply.

Hi,
Is there any way to turn off the IH2 popup function for the categories only as I only need the IH2 functionality for my main index page and side boxes as I use Zen Magic for my categories and main product images and unfortunately that mod does not function for the small images. I have searched this thread but did not find anything. Many thanks.

Hello all!
I was hoping that someone can help me with this. I'm working on Zen Cart v1.3.9h and I recently (and successfully) install Image Handler2. I'm trying to figure out how to move my additional product images to appear directly below the main image. Is this possible, and if it is, can someone point me in the right direction on how to do this? I really appreciate your help. Thanks!

This question is unrelated to this thread, which is for ImageHandler2 support. What you're looking for is help with customizing your template. Check out this thread.

Again I'm not sure what else I can say since this is really not an issue with IH2 and more of an issue with what was different about your live site versus your test store.. Not really an IH2 issue at all.. at this point it's pretty clear that this is not being caused by an IH2 error..

It's not that IH2 doesn't work because there's something wrong with IH2.. IH2 isn't working because there is something different between the your test and live store's configuration and this difference is affecting IH2's behavior.

Since both stores are on the same server the most likely causes are any files which include file path data (.htaccess or configure.php files)

You may need to consider hiring someone to help you get this all straightened out..

Unfortunately I think it is a problem reading the file, since the configure.php file and htaccess are right, if anyone knows where HI is to read files created in bmz_cache maybe get it to work thanks

I vaguely recall that IH2 (not** HI**) worked in your test store and not your production store.. or vice versa... and I even without seeing the issue I still stand behind my original post.. If IH2 works in one environment and not another, the issue has EVERYTHING to do with how the non-working environment was setup.. You will need to do a serious file by file comparison to figure out WHAT'S different in the non-working environment.. This isn't being cause by the IH2 module.. IH2 is a straightforward install and time after time it's been demonstrated that most causes for it not working can be traced back to one of two things:

1. The server environment does not support the minimum requirements for IH2 (GD installed NO SAFE mode)
2. Incorrect install

Please Help! I have searched and gone through the last 60 pages of this thread and the readme file over and over. Learned lots, but still have the problem.

What else do I need to do?

First off that link goes to a product with only one image. An additional image would be some showing at the bottom of the page NOT the main image, like this:

http://fantasiesrealm.com/market/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=428

those when hovered over like the ones in the new, all, featured listings and blocks will have a hover image to show.

The one you sent us is the main product page image and it won't have the hover effect, to get the larger size one needs to click it or install lightbox.

Here are my settings, if I recall I read somewhere...maybe the readme for ih2, that you do not have to set the size for both width and height but to DO set the width.

I found on my sit that all those I show you that are exactly alike is what made it behave on my site...so give it a try and see.

Oh yes and IF I misunderstood you...which happens and you meant there are supposed to be smaller images at the bottom of that page...make sure you have "like" images...if main image is .png then additional images for that product need to be .png---.gif=.gif---.jpg=.jpg

no mix and match or the software won't show you a darn thing...lol

FORGET the above post except for the part of sizes and extensions...

I read your view source for that page and i see no mentin of the image hove jscript at all

please go through your zip file contents and the server...folder by folder and verify you have indeed uploaded each and every file into its proper place in both admin and main includes folder.

maybe one got corrupted on the way up or you missed it totally...possibly stuck it into the template fodler and not your template folder/jscripts

Angel is right you do not appear to have all the IH2 files installed in the correct locations.. The JS and CSS files are missing.. Please review the IH2 readme again.. Make sure you follow ALL the instructions (in particular the ones which tell you to rename all the YOUR_TEMPLATE files to match the name of the folder where your site template is found).

Thanks for such quick answers! I am comparing files now.

OMG! part way there!! The hoover is working-- very nice!

I did read the read the readme file-- I took all four folder and dropped them into the root folder and held my breath while everything overwrote.

Problem was that I did not get MYTEMPLATE spelled correctly. :blush:
I have corrected this and moved files over. Under includes/templates/mytemplate/css I now have two files: style_imagehover.css and stylesheet.css.

But, my additional images at the bottom are still not showing. What else do I need to look at ?

merbay:

But, my additional images at the bottom are still not showing. What else do I need to look at ?My guess is that this is not caused by IH2, but by your template which has somehow modified the code for additional images..

You might need to post a new thread to get assistance with this or simply contact the template owner to see if you can get them to help you figure out why additional images do not display..

Another possible cause could be that all of your product images are not the same file format.. (this is also covered in the readme..)

Diva, you and DarkAngel have been great.:clap: I have gone back and checked everything again. All my images are jpegs, I caught that explanation in the readme file!

It's not going to be possible to ask the template owner who is halfway around the world with a phone number that is disconnected. Getting the file was an adventure filled with coincidences. I like the simplicity and elegance of this template and will only need to change a few font sizes to be happy with it.

The first try the site actually showed additional images at the bottom. It was also showing the main product image as an additional image... and nothing would zoom, just remained the same size when clicked. I don't think I did anything except try changing some of the settings.

Hi,
I am really hoping someone out there can help.

I tried to install IH2 on another sitebut couldnt get it to work, assuming it is something I have done I thought it best to try a fresh install on a new site.

https://www.shopforcostumes.co.uk

So I have done a fresh install of zencart, added template, then installed IH2.

On the test data that loaded, all looked ok. Images displayed, zoomed on hover etc.
I though excellent, it works, past problems must have been my own doing.

So I then deleted all products and loaded my own test files and images.
I used the apsona shop admin to load files and think that is ok.

simply loaded images into the images directory and gave that location on the file upload.

Now the problems started. I am not seeing any images anywhere.

I've only loaded 4 images and about a dozen products (most referring to the same image).

When I switch IH2 off, all images are displayed. Then I swith it back on and nothing.

As it shows as expected when IH2 is switched off then my images must be in the right loaction.

When IH2 switched on , If I look at the script for a page the images are being taken from the bmz_cache folder and they are there.

I have searched and searched. I am now really confused, tired, and imagine its a really simple thing but I cant for the life of me see what is wrong.

Please help !

Thanks

Um when i try to view one of the images created by imagehandler I get a 500 Server error

http://shopforcostumes.co.uk/bmz_cache/6/6a453343dd97fd554dd2fad682fc2768.image.100x104.jpg

That means something is configured wrong,
if the image is there it should show up
if the image isn't there it should be a 404 error,

what are the permissions on the folders set to?

You say images are being written to that folder, can you access them directly like the above

What size are your product images? the ones you uploaded, as in the filesize files over 1mb can cause issues

as there are "500" errors being generated, are there any debug files in the /cache folder on your site

There are folder name errors in the readme file, and two folders are referred to as files. Maybe that has something to do with it.

If there are errors, it helps to tell us what they are
