Thanks to you, the other coders and testers for kepping this mod going.

when have new version update?

Did you see this post from 3 days ago?

It can take up to a couple of weeks from the time when a mod is submitted until it is approved and available for download.

When it becomes available, an announcement will be made, and links to both the download and it's new support thread will be provided.

Has been submitted to the downloads section.. (Please note the new name) When it is available, I will be creating a new support thread for Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x, and will post a link to this new support thread here.

All support related questions for Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x should be posted on the NEW support thread. This thread will continue to serve as the support thread for those who are not upgrading to Image Handler 3 for v1.3.x.

Image Handler 3 v3.0 Changelog

• Updated javascript file which addresses Internet Explorer 9 issue
• Modify filecase management to prevent issues from uploading images with mismatched file extension case (main image is JPG, additional image is jpg) -- This change ensures that the additional images file extension will match the case of the main image (ie if main image extension is uppcase, additional images extensions will also be uppercase)
• Fix fancy quotes.
• Correct minor issue where image file paths would include an un-needed "/"
• Add an admin configurable option whereby shopowners can choose whether or not the large or medium image will display in the "on hover" image effect
• Revise module version numbering for (hopefully) the last time. Eliminating the "Rev" numbers fomat. The current version number is based on the number of releases from inception to current and what the version number SHOULD have been had a more conventional version numbering system been used for this and all prior releases
• Re-format and re-write readme file. Among the changes includes:
• Better (and MORE) images
• Full integration of Tim Kroeger's AWESOME original documentation

Hey folks :smile:

I just wanted to pop in and tell you all, especially Diva and her people that I'm very happy that image handler is continuously being improved by you. I'm away from zen-cart and php in general for several years now but it's really great to know that IH still gets so much use. Now that the next version is coming along, I'm kind
of proud that the initial (and very simple) idea of the "on the fly image resizing and caching" mod seems to have had enough potential, that people from all around the world are using it. Even when I kind of abandoned it, it was picked up by other people to provide support and fix and improve the code. So that is a huge thank you from me to the zen-cart community in general and Diva and her people especially.

Cheers :bigups:

he talked to ME!!! faints:laugh:

Seriously.. Awwwww... Back at you Tim.. Image Handler has made my client's lives SOOOOOOO much easier!!

But the REAL work on this mod has been done by much smarter folks than little ol' me.. Nigel, nagelkruid, ckosloff, and others have been the real hamsters behind the wheel for the last year or so..

I simply did a little writing, and testing 'tis all..:blush:

It's good to see you still alive and kickin' 'round these parts!:smile:

Hi Diva

Will IHv3 work with animated gifs.

If not, could you please post a note to this affect in the documentation.

I have one animated gif (50kb) on my site used as a category image for animated products, but which IH turns into a static image. Maybe its time I used another format (eg *.swf, except that many browsers are set to kill flash). Any recommendations.

Cheers

OMG! He's alive....:hug: Good to see you around at least for a minute.

Yes, it works fine.

ideasgirl:

Yes, it works fine.

I think what he's asking is, will IH2v3.0 allow an animated gif to display as animated on hover, vs. capturing the animated gif and displaying it as a static image on hover.

CheersThis is what I expect would occur, and you have verified that this is what will occur..

Module has been submitted, and I'm afraid it's too late to update the documentation with any such notation.. (admins will also frown upon submitting an update for a minor modification after it's available to download)

Hi Just thought i would post this as I have spent for the (2nd time due to moving hosting) 2 days looking for the answer as how to get the addtional images to use lightbox instead of the borowser pop-up

As I had lightbox first when you install IH2 it overides the includes>modules>[Your_Template}>addtional_images.php

So all I final did was
upload the lightbox addtional_images.php again
and hey viola addtional images work in lightbox and the prev - next buttons re- appear.

**Tip _ ** when you find a fix write it down so next time you wont have to search through all the forum again.. sound simple - I never was that bright :blush::oops:

I hope this helps others and if the mods think this is not the correct fix then please am -end..

OH and this forum is great!!!! thanks guys

Or...how about this tip? Read the ReadMe that comes with the IH2 fileset ;)

From the ReadMe:

Zen Lightbox - Replace the additional_images.php from Image Handler2 with the one that comes with Zen Lightbox. (Zen Lightbox has included all the merged code required for Zen Lightbox and Image Handler2 to work well together)

Pretty much what Diva said 99% of the time this is caused by image names,

can you provide a direct link to the original image on your site

as in
ranieriboutique<dot>com/images/poshloop.jpg

just not the link you get from imagehandler

Hi nigel is this what you mean?
https://ranieriboutique.com/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=4122 (thats the picture only)

This is the item:
