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

Thanks Get 'em. Turns out the JS you saw was one I was testing with. But the one you've posted it actually the one I already ahve that's displaying this weirdness. I put it back so you could see...

I know the author of the contribtution has seen this as a bug (on his site, 3/27 - he's been trying to figure it out), so he's aware of it. But it's so weird. It was working fine before - I can't imagine why it's doing this now.

I have image handler 2 installed for my client. He was hosting at 1and1 and I convinced him to host with me. Since I have moved his site his images are a little fuzzy.

Can anyone see why my images look so bad?

Easy you DON'T have IH2 installed, or its not working.
All the small images are the large images squashed by the browser down to a small size. Therefore the jaggies & hugh load size.
Need to reinstall IH2 or turn it on

How do i use different pictures with image handler?
I know ih resize the pics but i actually want to use pictures showing different things dependig if its small, medium or large.. Large shows all color options etc..

So, how do i manage to fix this in a easy way, not having to edit every item in the shop

It says in my admin that it is on.....how do I check to turn it on or disable adn re-enable without loosing all of my images?

@fredde - sorry, IH is not designed to work that way...the 3 sizes are of one image.

@webrob - admin > tools > Image Handler ...IH admin, clear image cache. If you can't, you FTP to your bmz_cache directory and delete everything INSIDE the category. These are the "on-the-fly" images created by IH and will be re-generated as required.

Then uninstall-reinstall IH.

Your images will remain untouched in your imaqes directory.

Will I have to add the images back to each product though?

Easy just upload a small, medium and large photo to each box. If you load just one it resizes them. If you load 3 it sizes them to apropriate sizes.

Say you have 600x600px image. And upload ONE photo. Now that will resize to small medium and large size settings of JUST that photo.

If you have 3 diff 600x600px images. Want one small a diff one medium and another large simply upload them to those IH spots and it will resize them to the set size you have for small medium and large, all diff images.

No you won't

I have the same problem as some others but haven't found the solution (this thread is over a 1000 posts and I've only read about 200!!!)..... additional images don't show up in the product info page.

The other images are there when I turn IH2 off but disappear when it is on. I can also see them in the IH2 Manager.

This is a fresh install/upgrade from 1.2.7 where the old version of IH was working fine.

One other thing I noticed: for the one product that I added images for using IH2, when I look at it under IH2 admin there are no "delete" buttons under the med and large sizes. All the other products (which were added under 1.2.7) have "delete" buttons.

Help! :frusty:

Look around page 100-ish of this thread, I posted a fix for that issue.

Thanks jettrue,
That worked! (but not immediately for some reason :huh: )

But I'm still getting the strange behavior with the recently added product images. All the old images (added with the old version of IH) are now showing up but the one I just added is not. Also the "delete" buttons under IH2 Manager (medium and large) do not show up for the new product.

Any ideas?

Can you send me a link with the issue?

As far as the delete buttons, from the way I understand IH2, there shouldn't be delete buttons for all three images. Deleting one should delete them all, right? Since you only have to upload one, and IH2 creates all the sizes for you?

So your IH Manager doesn't look like this:

I haven't tried the delete button...

Here's the new product I'm having trouble with:
http://naturalhistoryonline.com/cat/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=63

I deleted all images for it and added them back in. I thought it was working but I've added 4 images and only 3 are showing.

Mine does look different, however I only upload one image, and let IH2 do the rest. Do you upload a small medium and large, or only one image?

Mine does look different,

himmmm...

There a lot of posts here so forgive me if the answer is obvious or was already addressed,

That image of Elfboy' post looks different than mine too. That image shows "Version 2", mine does not show any version. I went to breakmyzencart, and his demo image has "Version 2.0-rc1".

I use IH2 with Zen 1.37, my images on the site are working properly so I am a little concerned with breaking IH when I can leave it alone for awhile longer, I got others problems right now. But my admin is giving me trouble and if I add new images I will need to address that.

Was there some fixes that I don't know about that I should just upgrade into?

The most up to date version of IH is the one available in the Downloads section as the author of the mod is no longer able to support it.

Just a note for when people refer to "about page 100 in the thread" - you can change the number of posts displayed to you through your UserCP, so it would be helpful to say what posts per page you are viewing yourself.

jettrue:

Yes I just upload one image (about 900 px wide), the "default", and let IH do the resizing. In fact that's the main reason I use IH.

Good info to know. The Downloads section description says "Make sure, you always get the newest version by visiting http://breakmyzencart.com/image-handler"
Maybe someone can change the description?

I downloaded both and compared modification dates and used the most recent (I think it was from the Downloads section!)

I think I'm starting to piece this together....let me know if I've got this right:

The reason I'm seeing "delete" buttons on the med/large images is because the old version of IH created different sizes and saved them (I think with _LRG and _MED suffixes) whereas the new version creates the other 2 sizes "on-the-fly" and puts them in the cache directory.

Sound like a good theory? :mellow:

OK, its not working. Only the one I added after installing IH2 is showing up. :(

As you can see the multiple images for Sphalerite are not showing unless I disable IH2.
