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

novastar:

Is there any way to remove this mod from the data base with out doing it through the admin panel. I'm having some other issues with my admin that won't allow me to do so.

Yes, but....

First you should back up your data base and you should only remove IH from the database if you're uninstalling the mod altogether.

Note: If you're having other problems in your admin, there may be more going on than just your troubles with IH.

To remove IH from your database, log in to your cpanel and go to PHPMyAdmin.

Select the Zen Cart database by clicking on it. Once there, go to the search tab. Select "all words" and type in IH

Beneath that, click on "Select all" to select all database tables. Then click "go". This should bring up a list of all tables that reference "IH" in any way. Be aware that not all of the results are related to Image Handler, so be careful what you delete.

Once completed, you can repeat the process using Image Handler as the search string (instead of IH) to see if there's anything left over.

In my database, all my IH files were in the zen_configuration table. Anything else it found was unrelated. But everyone's database will be different depending on what you have installed and how you have things configured.

Be very selective. If you hose your db, you hose your entire store.

Always back up your database before you do anything in there. Even if you're just looking around with no intention of making any changes...one time I was doing just that (browsing) and one of my dogs jumped on my arm, causing my hand to slide the mouse pointer to "delete" and when I tried to shrug the dog off me, I clicked the mouse button.

Accidents happen - db backups are essential - even for browsing.

Wow this is so frustrating!!

I obtained new watermarks that are the exact size as the origal watermarks and they still aren't showing up.

The hover function seems to be working okay.

I've viewed the site with MSNExplorer and Firefox, no watermark on either.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I installed IH, and seems it's all ok save one thing:
while the main image larger view opens zen-lightbox, the additional images open the large images into the browser window.

What did I miss, and how to correct it?

Thank you.

Any suggestions?They do not have to be the same size.. They DO have to be the same FILE NAME and FILE FORMAT as the ones that come with IH2. Do your watermarks meet that criteria??

You will need to post your question on the lightbox support thread as I'm afraid this is not an IH2 issue, but an issue with your lightbox install..

Yes.

and you've replaced the default watermark files with these files?? You didn't try to keep the originals in place by renaming them correct??

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way.
When istalling IH2, should I just drag and drop the contents (files and folders) of "Store Root" folder into my Public_HTML dir.?

I've got access to IH through my Admin Contol Panel so I assume my initial installation was correct...but now I'm starting to second-guess the install.

Double check your image settings to make sure you've turned on the watermarks..

Post your image settings please..

Clear your IH2 cache.. and before you ask will this hurt anything the answer is NO IH2 will recreate your cache.. If it were ME, using my FTP client, I would delete EVERYTHING in the bmz_cache folder except the .htaccess and .keep file.

Once IH2 starts to recreate the cache, you may start to see your watermarked images show up..

Tried that a few times, no change.

Anyone able to answer my question a few posts back regarding installation?

If there was a problem with your install you wouldn't see IH2 at all in the admin..

When you say "tried that a few times" do mean just clicking the "Clear Cache" link or my second suggestion of deleting all the generated cache folders via FTP..

I cleared the cache via the Admin Panel and then looked at the contents of the folder. No image files there after clearing the cache.

i'm gonna reinstall IH2 and see what happens.

what are your actual image settings?
have you tried clearing the cache or even deleteing the bmz_cache folders that may be in there.

We've discussing exactly that in the last half dozen or so posts.

Going to get busy re-installing IH2.

Back soon with results.

Hi
I'm using ZenCart 1.3.7.1 for one of my customers (planning a full upgrade over the next month or so) and recently added Zen LightBox at their request. However, after that install the additional images ceased to display. I found that people said that Image Handler solves this issue, so installed Image Handler Version 2 for 1.3.7.

However, although the install works fine and I can see the additional images in the Admin area for IH, I still do not see the additional images on the products themselves.

I found on this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35913&page=645 that apparently the order in which these two mods are installed makes a difference, but apparently the additional_images.php file is the key and the ZLB should be the one used. I've made sure that this is one being used but still see no additional images.

Can anyone tell me which bit of code actually controls the appearance of the additional images?

Thanks

which version exactly are you using of IH2...the current one rev8d I thinks is for the newest cart software NOT that old of one.

not sure if it will work but I am positive someone will tell us for certain. (files were rewritten for the newer version of cart.

when I was running that version and lightbox I had to merge a couple of files to get it to work right

link to the store would help a lot as well as seeing what your settings are for ih2 from admin/configuration/images

Hi Dark Angel,

Good to hear from ya! I did empty the cache from the new test site admin. Then I took a look at the bmz_cache folder on the new test site and the images are still there in the folders. Not all folders are there however. Some were emptied and removed. I did not re-upload the bmz_cache folder from the old test site because I am not sure what to do at this point.

I will email you about the old site in a few.

Thanks for helping.
