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

using the latest version with zc 1.3.6... whenever I turn "IH resize Images" on... my back images (gifs) turn grey! Compression quality adjustments have no effect on the color shifting. Oddly, when you click on the image to get the full-size, the color is as it should be. Obviously something is going on with the resize function in IH2... when I turn it off (letting zc handle the resizing) the images are perfect. Ive been through this entire thread & nobody else has had this problem. Anyone have any clue as to what it could be??

ps. site is in the working stages - excuse the appearance.

I just noticed Watermarking is not working.

I have the 3 'watermark' images uploaded to their correct dir. but it is not showing upon any image? Is there a switch one needs to turn on?

So it isn't just me. Are you running 1.3.6 too?

I would like to disable the link for 'lager image' completely. How do I do this?
(IM2 and ZC 1.3.6)

if you dont have rollover enabled it shouldn't matter.. i don't believe so at least. it wouldn't affect your problem for sure :P

best bet is to uninstall/reinstall in Tools > Imagehandler2.. if that doesn't work maybe the fresh upload of IH files will :)

OK - now I have even bigger trouble.

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. This removed all the images from on display in the shop. Have managed to get the small images to show again by individually displaying each one within Image Handler (slow job as there are over 250 items). But now, I cannot get large images to display at all and if there is no image loaded, the "No Image" pictures have disappeared (is now just the red cross error) - there seems to be a javascript popup error (the yellow triangle in the bottom left corner).

A visitor to my shop can at least now see the small images on the items but not the large ones when they click. I need help on this and will be posting a "Help Wanted" in the appropriate section. I did backup of database and shop but am reluctant to fiddle with it any longer - I am not getting anywhere. Dont really want to go to the hosting company if they are charging an hourly rate and I dont know if they know anything about zencart. I think this might not be an Image Handler problem but it must be involved somewhere - I think my IH2 installation is not correct as the pink "i" icons are not showing and the preview images are showing red crosses even though they seem to be in the right place.

I need urgent help on this - please PM me if you think you can work on this for me - not expecting free help and will pay for your work.

I apologize if this question has already been asked and answered…but after reading through hundreds of pages of posts…I think one of my eyes fell out…

So…my situation is as follows:

I am running Zencart v1.2.7
And ImageHandler 1.0-beta 2

My primary use of image handler was to Show Uploaded Images in Cart

Everything was working fine….and all of sudden no more thumbnails of customer uploaded images showing in cart as a thumbnail.

In researching my problem I discovered the thumbnails of the customer uploaded images are no longer being created at all. It appears the images are being uploaded fine, but the image does not pass to the thumbnails subdirectory.

I’ve checked all my directory paths and path names and permissions and everything looks good there, and there have been no other code changes.

In reading the posts…I observed that the versions of GD, ImageMagick and maybe PHP could be the source of this problem.

I know my host has upgraded versions of things and the host server now runs PHP version 5.05… but what versions do I need for things to work correctly?

Is there anything I can do on my end if the versions do not match the Image Handler requirements?

Does the new ImageHandler version 2 for 1.2.x address this?

Does the new ImageHandler version 2 for 1.2.x still allow customer uploaded images to be displayed as thumbnails in the shopping cart?

Does the new ImageHandler version 2 for 1.2.x work with PHP 5.05?

I’ve looked at my errors logs and noticed the script that fails to complete is: show_uploaded_image.php --But I don’t get any error message in the shopping cart…

If I need to update to ImageHandler version 2 for 1.2.x, I’ve read I first need to uninstall the old version of ImageHandler (manually).

But do I also need to remove all of the databases changes using the mysql_remove_image_handler.sql that came with the image-handler_1.0beta2 download?

Any input or direction would be immensely appreciated.

So it isn't just me. Are you running 1.3.6 too?
Yes, I am. Also using IH2 v2.0-zc13.

I have also noticed that unlike yourself, I do not see Watermarks in the Admin section either.

It's really hard to see in admin, but I can definitely see the watermark...

Looking for ANY help on this from ANYONE!

Can no one help with the watermarking problem?

Has anyone ever asked about adding an image name to the images. Had a search but couldn't find anything. If not then I think it would be extremely useful.

If you want to give the image your putting up a name simply enter this in the "base name" field and then your pics can be called whatever you want.

Thanks Peanut - not sure I was very clear ;-) I was meaning so that an image can have a title displayed as they do when you enter an image swatch.

Bit hard to explain this one......
When I run my mouse over certain pictures on my page, the image comes up but only the same size as the original image....
Much easier to have a look....

At the bottom of the page, there are a few sofas. See what happens when you run your mouse over them? How do I make this picture bigger, so they dont need to click on them to enlarge.....?

Can I also do this for the main picture, so they just run the mouse over and dont need to click on it?

Any help appreciated.

Are my posts invisible? Can someone PLEASE tell me what I can do to fix my watermarking problem???

coxi
have you tried making the original upload image, bigger than the product image size that's set in your admin setting? On mine, the zoom window shows the actual upload image 'as is'.

dinki
people aren't answering 'cos they have no idea whats wrong? Watermarking worked ok on my IH2
presumably you checked the watermark image is there, in the images folder..
and for instance, does the little square + appear on your product listing images. if not, then the image combining isn't working anyway.

Thank you for replying. IH2 is working fine with the exception of the watermarking. As I stated above, the images appear to be watermarked on the admin side but not on the catalog side.

I don't mean to appear impatient, but I really would like to get this issue resolved. I'm really only looking for advice on what I can try to fix it. Is it a cache related issue? I've cleared my cache. It can't be a server issue as the admin images are watermarked...

I just can't figure it out.

dinki

I'm out of my depth slightly, but presumably if a specific admin image is watermarked, the cart side ought to be accessing exactly the same cached image.

Have a good look at the url/src being called for the cart image(s), are they /bmz_cache/... or /image/... and compare the filename accurately with what's in the cache. Either use page source or properties..

It needs appliance of logic..

You know, other then the creator of this Mod having an example on their site, I have yet to see any other site display IH2 watermarking? Hareslade, your feedback is appreciated but not sure what site you are using IH2 on? Doesn't appear to be the one in your Sig.

Something else that is odd. If you check this URL Main page - Product 3, you'll note that you do not get the mouseover image 'unless' you mouseover the + sign - bottom-right corner of image. Every site I've seen so far, using IH2, has popup image appear whenever you mouseover any part of the image.

Hello!

Thank for your contribution! It blew me away!

I notice that some of the files installed with IH2 1.3.5 overwrite a few core files Im on ZC 1.36. Is this something I should be concerned/do something about, once the next ZC upgrade happens?

thanks
