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

IH will only REDUCE a large image that exceeds the maximum sizes.

The idea behind IH was to allow people who don't have a clue about image preparation (even after they've read the excellent How to :laugh: ) to simply upload their images and have them correctly optimized for the web. It will not attempt to expand the size of an image because we know that results in poor quality, so what you should be doing is uploading your large images to the images directory (or sub-directory) and IH will create the small and medium sizes with appropriate filesizes.

I think you'll find that those dimensions you have are the actual size of the pre-IH uploaded images.

Has anyone experienced security holes with IH? I just had ALL my images wiped out from my store (I already restored them). Only images related to products and articles, not design.

I have all my ZC security patches (I'm using ZC v1.3.5), and since it was an image issue, thought it might be IH.

I've installed Image Handler 2 on Zen Cart 1.26d.

Resizing the source hires image to small and medium is working but the large image is showing up clipped (only part of the hires image is shown).
Any pointers to why this may be?

Also any additional images are not displayed since installing Image Handler. What could be causing this?

Should I be seeing files appear in the bmz_cache directory?

Seriously?? Dude, you are using a very,very,very,vert,VERY out of date and obsolete version of Zen. Forget about Image Handler - the author has gone awol, and I've had less problems since uninstalling it. I had the same troubles as you, and more besides.
Uninstall and update Zen to 1.3.7!

I'm aware that this is an outdated version of Zen Cart and I expected somebody to point that out to me...
It's not being used as a shop but as a catalogue so there's not much to compromise. Upgrading would of course be possible but won't be as easy as for most installations as I customized Zen Cart here and there.

I appreciate your answer but to be honest it doesn't solve my problem.
If Image Handler really is no good I'd gladly use something else for easy image handling but I didn't see many other options. Maintaining thousands of images manually in three different resolutions isn't much fun!
So how did you replace Image Handler?

There was an:
Image-Handler v1.0-beta2 for Zen-Cart v1.2.6d
by Tim Kroeger, breakmyzencart.com

See if you can still find it. This should work just fine. I used it back when....

I think you'll find he actually did a IH2 which could be used for 1.2.x - http://www.breakmyzencart.com/image-handler

There's nothing wrong with IH - heaven knows where you got the idea that it's no good. Just make absolutely sure you follow the installation instructions to the letter. :wink2:

Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered in the 80 pages on this thread, but I need help with an issue.

I have IH2 installed and it seems to be working, but when I hover over an image I get the IH2 popup, but I also receive the standard tool tip on top of it.

Did I miss something on the install or is there a way to turn the tool tips off?

R/ Doug :cry:

That is the one I'm using.

Forget about Image Handler
Before that I thought the consensus was that it was ok. Good to see you confirm that!

Kelvyn, mydanilo and Ryk thank you all for replying!

I've just found why the additional images were not displayed. Image Handler has an error in includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php
Replace this line:
return $parameters . 'style="position:relative" onmouseover="showtrail(' . "'$products_image_zoom','$alt',$width,$height,$zoomwidth,$zoomheight,this," . $this->zoom['startx'].','.$this->zoom['starty'].','.$this->zoom['width'].','.$this->zoom['height'].');" onmouseout="hidetrail();" ';
with this line:
return $parameters . 'style="position:relative" onmouseover="showtrail(' . "'$products_image_zoom','$alt',$width,$height,$zoomwidth,$zoomheight,this," . $this->zoom['startx'].','.$this->zoom['starty'].','.$this->zoom['width'].','.$this->zoom['height'].');" onmouseout="hidetrail();" ';

Additional images are now displayed. Popup is still somewhat of a problem as IE 7 doesn't like the onmouseover event (Error pageY is null or not an object). Firefox does show the proper popup image.

Now all I need to do is solve the clipping of the large images.

Whatever the mod, there will always be someone who has problems with it because of other mods they have concurrently installed, because of something going awry in the setup or because they installed it on a weekday! :D

The real shame here is that the original IH author vanished out of sight because he was always very helpful and quick to resolve issues...and this has been one of the most outstanding third-party additions to ZenCart.

If I recall correctly - which I may not cos I'm getting old...lightbox came on the scene after IH so which breaks which?

The main value of it has really been to prevent those who haven't a clue about image handling to create sites with correctly optimised product images - specifically when clients take over after the cart has been designed and built for them.

In Tim's case, the work was done before he asked for funds, and he put in a LOT of support and effort on these forums before disappearing. OK, things have changed since IH2 so improvements/alterations have been needed, but I don't think you can justifiably say that he promised the earth and ran off with the money. He may well have done a runner - but for all we know, he may well be dead.

Hi!

I have'nt installed this Mod yet (next thing on my list ) so I dont know exactly how it is configured - but I noticed your link to the test image has /site/ duplicated - when I removed one of them I could view the test image.

Hello,

I have read and read through the posts with no luck whatsoever, that or its just way too much to actually find anything :)

I have a new install of 1.37 and lightbox and a sefu that just works. Everything is running fine. When I install IH2 I get a small problem,

in the listing of products in a category, the thumbnailed image appears fine.

when you click on the that actual item to view more info, this thumbnail is red x'd.

when you click on larger image it works fine.

has anyone else had this issue.

Thanks for any help or pointers to helpful posts.

uninstalled IH2 a while ago (onv1.3.5), but files still in shop, can I delete bmz_cache? is it used for anything else?

I can't remember if it was there before IH2 or not....

Thanks

Hiya,

Well I think for some reason IH2 isnt seeing the bmz directory with 1.37 and sefu that just works.

i notice that the listing of a categories products displays all the thumbnails, but when you click on a product, the product image does not display, if you click on larger image it displays as normal..

when viewing the source of each page, I notice that none of the image sources are pointing to the bmz directory as I think they should be, but rather the old images directory.

bmz has the proper permissions, but for some reason ih2 1.35 doesnt seem to be kicking in....

any help would be appreciated.

Is it possible to adjust the size of the zoomed image larger or smaller?
All the images on my site are the exact size I want them to be. I would however like to play around with the zoom size.

Thanks,
-Ed

One issue im having is when I click to view the large image, the popup new window is the proper size however the image is always off center to the right.

how is this fixed?
See it here.

Not sure if this is browser related ... if I click the image then hit CTRL A it looks centered left to right in FireFox and IE for me ...
