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

Ah yes, the classic whitespace error. I remember this from programming classes during my univ days... @_@;

I normally use vim for all my file editing, but sometimes I like to do quick edits via my FTP program (FileZilla) and I currently have it set up to only pull up notepad for editing. And we know how bad notepad is...

Well, that's one problem cleared. Now to figure out this bizarre duplication of the shop name in the image links...

Thanks! :)

Hi Gang!

I hate to have to ask, but after exhaustive searches, I can't seem to find the answer to this question.

I've just downloaded a fresh copy of ZenCart, and before I even installed it, I decided to intergrate the IH2 extension folders.

The install went well, and the index.php comes up as expected.
However when I attempt to go into admin, I get the following message:

Warning: require_once(C:/wamp/www/mySite/includes/extra_configures/bmz_image_handler_conf.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\mySite\admin\includes\extra_configures\bmz_image_handler_conf.php on line 12

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:/wamp/www/mySite/includes/extra_configures/bmz_image_handler_conf.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\wamp\www\mySite\admin\includes\extra_configures\bmz_image_handler_conf.php on line 12

Based on what I see in the windows explorer, this file clearly exists; I'm at my wits end and would like to resolve this soon. Please help.

From the readme:

Make sure that the "bmz_cache" folder's permissions match those of your
images folder (e.g 0777, 0775 or 0755).

Have you checked that?

hi,

this may have been asked before.

my small image sizes are set to 172 X172!

I don't want the small images for my additional images on the product info to be as large as that. I want them to be max 150px wide. is there any way for me to just target additional images?

Thank you for your help, Kbalona. I appreciate it.

Please forgive my ignorance in the matter, but this is important.
I may be going about this the wrong way.
The four folders that are part of the IH2 download:

• admin
• bmz_cache
• images
• includeseach of which contain folders and files within them. Simply copying these top level folders into the Zen Cart root folder did nothing to disseminate the contents of these folders to their rightful places.

The image handler didn't appear in my admin/tool menu as was suggested.

I suspect that the actually process is a little more involved than the ih-doc suggests. Do I have to manually peel open the directory tree and go thru the file items placing them into the Zen Cart folders where it seems they might belong? For a beginner, this can be error prone.

Either the process is simpler than I understood, or the instructions are way too vague. Either way, is anyone willing to patiently walk me thru the process? Please.

Thanx,
Zin Fandel

Has anyone experienced problem I described in "Comstock template" (sorry I don't know how to link to it) - while using IH zoom for small image, I cannot get additional images per item and when you hover over that image, the top of template drops down in order to display that image.

well I made progress, but I need a help... those running 1.3.7 (that includes * @version $Id: additional_images.php 5369 **2006-12-23 **10:55:52Z drbyte $
) which part of the IH * @version $Id: additional_images.php,v 1.3 2006/05/01 12:20:31 tim Exp $ should be merged into the newer version of additional_images.php ??
Thanks

Is that it??!

I've just installed IH2 and everything seems to be working wonderfully! In fact, it went so well and so easily that I'm assuming I missed something.
Does IH2 automatically resize my existing images? I assumed I would have to do the grunt work of resizing. (NOT that I'm complaining! :P) I can see the medium images are in place on my site but am not sure if everything has actually been optimized or not.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

Tim

Yes - that's it!

To check if it's working, just examine the properties of the sm and med product images and you'll see they're being drawn from the bmz_cache directory.

One thing you may find useful - the novelty of the images zooming up every time you touch them will soon wear off. Change the "hot spot" setting in admin>configuration>images so that it only enlarges when the mouse is placed on the crossinabox!

PS from now on, just upload what would have been your large image to the images directory (or the relevant subdirectory if you use them)

OMG! That is one Very impressive module! When Tim said in the documentation that it worked right out of the box, he wasn't kidding! I've actually been avoiding implementing this mod because I thought it was going to be a nightmare to install. :laugh: Mr. Kroeger, where ever you are, You Rock!

Ryk - I took your advice on the the image hot-spot, as well. Concerning uploading new images: Are you saying that I can continue to upload directly to
/public_html/shop/images/ as I did previously?

Thanks - Tim

Yes..........

One more question, if I may: Not everything meshed completely with IH2. My Scrolling Specials sidebox seemed to conflict. I just turned that mod off for the moment, as it isn't overly important. However, is this a common occurence and is there a fix?

Thanks again - Tim

I think yes and no are the correct answers.

Hi all! Were desperately seeking help for our store. We messed with the image config settings to make them bigger on the homepage, and now they are all jagged. Here's what I know:

Zen Cart 1.2.7
IH 2
The small images on the homepage (New Products) are set to 100x100 but when you right click and look at the src, they are named like /bmz_cache/a/a08d2cbbc0ab81fe6e891a20f50b0669.image.89x100.jpg

Here are our image settings:

Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Nice looking site - shame you've gone to extreme lengths to remove all references to ZenCart.

Thanks Ryk - an unfortunate business decision made by the store owner, for sure. But, as the designer, I appreciate the complement.

Any thoughts on what might be wrong?

I tried to read every post in this thread. Got alot of em but didn't see this one.

IH2 works fine. Have lightbox as well.

When I change the product info image size to a larger size than 150 x 120 the hovers go away on small images. I had doubled thier size.

Does this change need to be reflected somewhere else?

Hi there, first of all congrats on IH2 module, this should have been a core since its a must for proper image handling.

I have aproblem with images, my customer who is going to use zen-cart is going to upload 1000s of images and i am 100% sure that he is going to upload images with the same file name. was wondering if there is a quick way to make ih2 or zen-cart rename a new image upload if there is an images with the same name. I have not dound this to be an IH feature and this is very helpfull, also someting else which can be done is to rename image filenames to hold the product name. this is going to be very good for search engines.

Anyway to cut the story short is there a way which i can set IH2 or zen-cart to rename a new image file name upload if there is an image with the same name?

Hello again,

We'd like to offer a small token of appreciation to anyone who can help us out with this problem. A $25 gift certificate to either our store (www.thetoyboat.com) or Amazon.com - whichever you prefer! As I said earlier, we're really desperate - our homepage is in shambles. And while Ryk was absolutely correct - we did remove the references to Zen Cart - please understand that it was a decision that was beyond the control of the people begging for help here. We are entirely grateful to this community and for the hard work and dedication of everyone who developed the software.

Help us Obi-Wan... you're our only hope...

Tim
