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

aneroxic:

Hi Diva

Yes i had read n already named them accordingly as to how ZC recognises them. I uploaded the additional images via FTP as this is the only way i know of. How do you add in additional images via IH2?

There wasnt any guide on the installation page from the developer.
The IH2 interface is where you would add either the primary product image or the additional images..

However if you use FTP to upload your additional product images (instead of using the IH2 interface to add them), there isn't anything "more" you need to do in IH2 to make you additional images display..

If the additional images are NOT displaying then it means either you've installed IH2 or ZLB incorrectly or the images themselves may not be conforming to Zen Cart requirements/standards for additional images..

My guess is that since it's additional images not working that you did not follow the install guidelines posted on the ZLB support thread (or here on this support thread) about the order in which you must install these two mods to get them working together. See this: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35913&page=645 read posts 6449 and 6450. See if this helps..

another thing...do not do what I did and name them with the _lrg and _med in the names just name them with the main image name_01.jpg then change the number for each additinal one you have

mainimage.jpg
mainimage_01.jpg

and so on

Image Handler2, Rev. 8
Zen Cart 1.3.9h
PHP Version: 5.2.14 (Zend: 2.2.0)

Good Evening All

I have IH2 on my live and test system. Both work fine except on the live system when inputting a new image, the BASE IMAGE DIRECTORY popup shows a list of image folders in non alpha order. The files for the live system were FTP'd up from the test system where the same function works just fine in alpha order.

This is getting to be a real problem as there is now a considerable number of folders

I think this information comes from admin/image_handler.php around lines 843 to 846 and seems to invoke DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES.

That would seem to suggest a corruption, but I am not sure a) if I am on the right track b) how to proceed from here

I would be grateful for any thoughts or guidance

Thank you

I had a friend make the new watermarks and to be honest I don't know if the one he made is the same size as the "zencart" watermark that is included in the IH add-on.

So now I'm confused, should all of the watermarks be the same size?

good question so I looked and the ones that come with ih2 are 3 different sizes but all .png

mine at my store are all the same size...so guess it is your pref pretty much.

did you make sure that all the ih2 files got uploaded to their correct spots?

forget everything I just wrote...mine is not there anymore either

forgot to add this---since they are back on again...seems on my store when I last updated to the rev8d the controls got set to no watermark and I did not even notice but these are my settings--to see if that helps you some:

I just went through the files again and the only one I'm not 100% sure on is the bmz_cache folder. It's in the IH Store Root folder folder (Root Dir\Store_Root\bmz_cache....) and it still contains the .htaccess and .keep files.

If IH2 is installed correctly the watermarks should just work when you turn them on in the image settings. (Configuration > Images)

The size of the replacement watermarks is not important, though they should not be larger than the images they will be watermarking because they won't look good.

They do have to be in the right locations and they have to be named correctly.

From the readme. The relevant items are highlighted

Watermarking

In order for watermarking to work for every image dimension the specific corresponding watermark images have to be present. That means, you have to upload files to the following specific locations (these are included in the install package):

• images/watermark.png

• images/medium/watermark_MED.png (or your specified MEDIUM_IMAGE_SUFFIX)

• images/large/watermark_LRG.png (or your specified LARGE_IMAGE_SUFFIX)

The add-on package includes some demo watermark images for small, medium and large sized images featuring a slightly modified Zen-Cart logo for a quick start. Nothing more to do, switch on, switch off, just as you like. Image Handler takes care of generating images accordingly. You can specify where you want the watermark to appear on the image canvas by selecting NorthWest, North, NorthEast, West, Center, East, SoutWest, South and SouthEast for the Watermark Gravity setting. To use your own watermark, simply create replacement watermark images using the image editing software of your choice. (Your custom watermark files should be PNGs using the same image names as the sample watermark images)

Just tested custom watermarks on my test store. All my test watermarks are PNGs, and they are named with the EXACT SAME filename as the default watermarks that come with IH2.

You can see the result here: http://zentestcart.overthehillweb.com/Test_Category/Commodo_Dolore

one more idea then...

go to admin/tools/image handler 2/admin (this is in its own section below the menu bar)

click to uninstall it..then install it and clear its cache too.

maybe that might help

also... the image url when using view image does not seem to go to the bmz cache folder it is going to the large folder...Large/Normal?name of image

having only 1 image to show you need to just load it into the product via IH2 control area or upload it to the main images folder---images/image or images/subfolder/image

ih2 I think ignores the Large and Medium folders to an extent. of course I may be confused on that part Diva will let us know.

ih2 I think ignores the Large and Medium folders to an extent. of course I may be confused on that part Diva will let us know.:laugh::laugh: It doesn't exactly ignore them, but there is no need to use them as IH2 will create your small and medium images from the large image. All you need to do is upload the largest image to the images folder and IH2 will do the rest..

Microsoft released its Internet Explorer (ie9) today and I noticed straight away that it doesn't display IH2 hover effect correctly. Or, perhaps more correct, it seems to display the image hoover when a category is first loaded, but as soon as the page is scrolled the hover doesn't work any more.

Can anyone confirm? I've tried two more sites found in this thread and none is working with the image hover overlay.

A fix would be great!

Yep i can confirm its happening like you say, weird as i never noticed this error when using the RC version of IE9, but just tested it and it fails in there too.

There isn't a fix yet

However there is a hack, it hasn't been extensively tested, but it works for me

find your

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php

if you don't have that file copy the one from
includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php

find this section

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>" />
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo META_TAG_KEYWORDS; ?>" />
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo META_TAG_DESCRIPTION; ?>" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />

and add this

directly under it

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" />

This tells IE9 to use the IE8 compatibility,

Hey Nigel.. I was compiling a new IH2 update.. Pass over your fixes and I'll add them to the new submission..
