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

RoPey:

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.Quite honestly that was going to be my suggestion anyway.. Perhaps the way to phrase it to them is to let them know that that there really isn't any support available for IH2 under Zen Cart 1.3.7, and not much more for Zen Cart v.1.3.7 in general.. There are a TON of security and functionality enhancements that will come out of upgrading.. This seems the better use for your client's effort IMHO..:smile:

Now where's the doggone like button!!!:laugh:

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.

Hi,

I have Zen Lightbox and also IH installed,this works fine,except one thing :(

How can I change the size of the images when you hover an image?

Right now if I hover an image with my mouse a big image pops up,can I change that size?

Have a look at my site here: http://silvaro.nl

Thanks for your advice.

1. what are these set to

Product Info - Image Width
Product Info - Image Height

as those are both the hover settings and the productinfo page image settings.

Have you made any changes to the standard Image handler? as you seem to be using the large image as the image hover rather than the medium image (using the medium image is the default hard coded behaviour)

At a guess I would say the default behaviour has been altered

In your
includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php

Find the following (around line 697)

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

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

then thats your problem.

Other wise try clearing your Image handler cache via the admin

take my word for it I am still fixing stores with older software cause their host has suspended the account due to the files that a phishing hacker placed

your client needs to upgrade to the newset version of zen cart---after all it is free.

His other mods may be able to be merged into the files then put into an over-ride folder

Hi,

Thanks for your help.

Or I am blind or there are no settings like Image Width and Image Height in Product Info?

I checked the file you mentioned,this is on line 697:

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

Seems to be fine or not?

I did not make any changes to the standard Image Handler.

Very weird,but I really hope to solve this.

I think I found it the image size you mentioned in Product Listing.

The size is :

Product Info - Image Width 150
Product info - Image Height 120

Seems as if you do not have IH2 completely configured/installed correctly. I strongly suggest re-reading the readme files particularly the section which covers the image settings and configuration. Make sure all your image settings are correct Also double check your IH2 installation as well to make sure you have all the files in place..

My god,I am really lost now and really do not know what to do :wacko:
This is going too far for me.
maybe I need some extra help with this from someone who understands ImageHandler very well ;-)

Hi,

Maybe you can have a look again if it is fine now.

It seems that the bmz_cache folder was not writable,I changed this to 777 and cleared the cache.

I think it works now :D

That said specific links to your site would help us to understand specifically (versus lobbing GUESSES) what you mean by "not in the mainpage". Post a link to this page and it will be easier (and CLEARER) what the issue is..

That looks like a sub-category listing page to me, vs. the main page (which would be the front page of your store).

At any rate, the URL is incomplete. We can't possibly locate your site from what you've provided. Please provide a complete URL beginning with http://www.

I installed it locally )-:

It's gonna be next to impossible to help you without seeing the site.. Some folks may not mind lobbing guess at problems, but for me with out specifics I don't like entertaining guesses.. Any way you can re-create your development store on a sub-domain so that the community can better help you troubleshoot your issue??
