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

Kaitology:

I've installed IH4 on my clean 1.5.0 installation and I don't know whether it's my mistake or the software simply not working but I'm fed up with trying to get it to work.

The first install, I didn't have the IH options in my Configuration panel. They just weren't there. It didn't create any resized images either. (Yes, it was set to resize images in the settings.) The Tools->IH4 menu did show up, though.

Uninstalled and installed again and now this scenario played out: the small thumbnails on the category overview showed from the bmz_cache (as I expected). The hover effect showed the same small image (quite useless in that case) - the product page showed the original image that I uploaded (no change) and it linked to a 404 xxx_LRG.jpg file that didn't exist. (Folders were chmodded to 777)

For a product that says it works out of the box, I'm not exactly diggin it.

Did you check under tools>IH_4 ? That's where mine was, plus the icon next to products

It did as I mentioned - the IH4 settings did show up on the 2nd install.

Forgive me as I missed that section - old eyes can't see everything.

No need to be forgiven :)! I myself miss alot too, that is why I have come here to see if I missed anything :)

It also helps if you post this in the correct support thread..:smile:

I am experiencing a strange situation with IH2.

After choosing the category/sub-cat from the drop down box under Manager page, IH2 goes back to the Admin page? Also it is showing "* Product is disabled* for 2 sub-cats that I just added products to - so they are not "disabled."

A bit confused as to why IH2 is going back to the Admin page and why is it saying these 2 sub-cats have disabled products?

Any solution to this. Most of my categories are showing as "product disable" in IH2 ?

What version of zencart are you using?

The product disabled thing is an old bug (in IH2) that doesn't actually mean anything, it is fixed in the more recent versions (or at least i am fairly sure I fixed it), as to it going back to the admin page, is an error message being generated in the yoursite/cache folder?

How often is it necessary to clear the bmz-cache? And I read that with my version I may need to reupload its .htaccess and .keep files after clearing, but I don’t even see those in the file at all. Should I have them?
I have IH2.0, Rev8b running on ZC1.3.9h

those are invisible files which sometimes--depending on your ftp orogram--do not show up, but you should be able to see them in your c-panel file mamager.

I have not cleared mine in ages...it helps the store load images quicker for the customers and the only time I emptied that cache was when i upgraded o version for 1.3.9h...IH3

the only cache I try to keep down is the main cache folder in your stores folder...it can grow enormously.

and since you are using 1.3.9h then this should be in that versions support thread.

I don't think this might be an IH2 problem...but rather look at this line in your file for this mod:

$show_image = (@$_GET['image'] == "off") ? "off" : "on";

Did you set the word in red to on

you might also try changing this to on also

echo "<b>Display image options</b> - possible values on, off default value on<br />";
echo "image=on (on,off) <a href=\"" . $script_basepath . "?image=off" . "\" >" . $script_basepath . "?image=off" . "</a><br /><br />";

keep a copy of the original to replace if it does not work. change the duplicate to say on then reupload to your server files then test it to see if it gives results wanted. If yes great, if not then put back the original and come back for just in case it is an IH2 otherwise you may need to start a thread in "other contributions" to get better help

Hi all,

I have quite a problem with lightbox. Before installing lightbox, I installed a custom template and everything works fine.

And then I installed the latest version of lightbox and everything still works fine except the text 'larger image' appears on my main product and additional product images.

I tried to replace tpl_modules_main_product_image.php back to the old one but doesn't work.

I tried define('TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE', 'larger image');
to
define('TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE', '');

and I can't get into any pages of my website as it creates error. I put everything back to how it was and my lightbox seems to still go haywire. Whenever I enlarge an image the container fills up my whole page even though the image is smaller. And I still have the 'larger image' text.

May I know if there's any way to install the latest lightbox without overwriting the old ones in the product pages? I was trying to apply the latest lightbox to a media page i created in ezpages.

do you have IH2 installed? That is where you are posting, if you don't then you will need to go to the support thread for the lightbox mod you have installed.

That said -- have you made sure that all files are uploaded to their proper places.

which template and link to store would be extremely helpful for better help instead of guess work.

We have installed IH2 but it is not coming up in the admin/tools section. We do get the purple icon next to the products but when clicked it comes up with this:

http://seventyfourdegrees.com/image-handler.jpg

I have followed the instructions exactly and have uploaded both individually and by renaming the folders and uploading the folders fully.

Our site is located here: http://seventyfourdegrees.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=&products_id=92

Any help with this would be much appreciated thanks.

No disrepect intended here: but when you say you renamed the folders and uploaded the folders fully ----you did just upload the files only to their matching folders on your server, right?

Is that a paid for template, hopefully not from template monster. I think there is a bit more that is not functioning right...cause the lightbox doesn't work either, loop of searching for image doesn't stop to show image. No hover images on promos either...unless you set images to not show hover.

Try reuploading the files to their folders again.

Try using the default template to see if it behaves then that might narrow the problems to the template you are using now.

Any help with this would be much appreciated thanks.And did you install the right version of Image Handler for the version of Zen Cart you are running?? Because version 2 is old.. largely unsupported, and does not work with Zen Cart v1.5 (which would be clear in the downloads section)

ZC 1..1

I am looking to remove orphaned images or at least create a list. Can IH help with that? Dont want to install before Im sure.

THanks

Nope.. Won't help with locating/removing orphaned images (not the purpose of this module)

furthermore this version is VERY old and there isn't much support being given to IH2.. Recommend that you should be running the latest version of Zen Cart and the latest version of IH4..
