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.

ok cause as for the bmz_cache folder just delete everything in there leaving only the .keep and .htaccess files there the IH2 will recreate all the image caches again.

I shall be waiting.

just went there and when i hover over the images i get the hover image---although it is the exact same size as what is showing.

if inded you do have the medium sized image to see it larger then look at your settings. there are several setting that MUST be alike for the pop up to work right

the following settings must match the Small Image Width and Small Image Height settings:

• Subcategory Image Width
• Subcategory Image Height
• Image - Product Listing Width
• Image - Product Listing Height
• Image - Product New Listing Width
• Image - Product New Listing Height
• Image - New Products Width
• Image - New Products Height
• Image - Featured Products Width
• Image - Featured Products Height
• Image - Product All Listing Width
• Image - Product All Listing Height
  These settings are all updated in Admin > Configuration > Images.

now on mine I will admit the small image size has one size and I have no sub category images so that one is blank

as for the others they are according to the area...note that the small image is one size....the product info image is the intermediate size then the others match the small image size

The latest versions of ZLB and IH2 are meant to work with the latest version of Zen Cart v1.3.9. I have NO IDEA if IH2 will work with Zen Cart 1.3.7.. I wish I could offer more help..My suggestion is to use a version of these modules which work with ZC v1.3.7..

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

www.seriousoffroadproducts.comLooks like you've got it all working now!!:clap:

Walked away from it for a few minutes.
Grabbed a beer.
Cursed at the CPU.

Everything started working.:shocking:

Actually I just made a few minor changes in the Admin area and got it working.

So anyone need some parts for their rig?:D

Hi DivaVocals

Hi DivaVocals
Thanks for the reply.
I am using ZLB Version 1.4 for Zen Cart 1.3.7.1 and IH Version 2.0 for Zen-Cart v1.3.7. The version of Zen Cart is 1.3.7.1

The url of the shop is http://www.motoskinzfx.co.uk/. A sample page of a product that should have an additional image is http://www.motoskinzfx.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=182&products_id=1772I couldn't begin to try to help troubleshoot the issue you are having.:dontgetit

Hopefully someone else following this support thread can chime in..:smile: It's been a GOOD minute since I've looked at Zen Cart v1.3.7, and I don't have any client stores running v1.3.7 to even test anything..

Perhaps a search through this support thread might provide some insight from others who have had a similar issue with this particular version of IH2. I wish I could offer more help than that.. :mellow:

What "product Type" are you using?

Can you tell me what your setting for

Admin->Catalog->Product Types->Product General->Edit Layout->Show Additional Images = ?

Normally so do I.. That can only mean ONE thing..

I need some WINE and something to eat!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

thanks, yes that is the one that needs to have the files merged from lightbox and ih2

pm me with your information to your servers ftp and I can go take a look at them to see if they were merged or not, I think I still have the zips to both those versions too since I have a couple of clients running 1.3.8 that think maybe the hackers will leave them alone

1.39.h is by far the safest one against hackers too.

Thank you all for your replies. I'm using Product General and the Additional Images setting is set correctly. I'd forgotten about that setting, so it was definitely worth the check. Before I raised my question I had a really good look through the thread and although the question arises in a few places, the suggestions and responses have all proved to be OK and in place in my version.

I think, given that this appears to be an issue that would take quite a lot of ferreting around to fix and it is a version that very few people have running now, it would be better to suggest to my customers that it would be more sensible to spend the time (and money) on upgrading to the newest version as soon as possible.

Once again - thanks for the help and suggestions.

Excellent conclusion. You may also want to remind your clients that there are security issues at stake also. The newest version is the most secure yet. The Zen Cart community and programmers have been working hard to earn recognition and important certification... in order to meet the criteria to recieve that, the cart has to meet certain standards. The older versions do not.

Selling point 1: Best practice for serious business people is to run the latest and most secure software on their websites, especially if they want to be taken seriously in the business community. (i.e. advertisers and affiliates who can increase a store owner's profits pretty much only want to associate their businesses with those of a similar seriousness and reputation).

Selling point 2: Customers are more saavy than they were even just five years ago....informed and experienced web shoppers will not buy from a store run with software that has known security issues, and - they know how to find out what the store is using.

Upgrading both zc and mods is definitely worth the money they have to pay you to do it for them.
