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

Zinfandel:

Hello Get Em Fast.

After resetting the **IH large image maximum width **, shouldn't ezskratch then clear the cache of all the images. I suspect the admin settings are only used if and when the required image is not in the cache.

whaddaya think? I could be wrong.
I think you might be right, Z. Sounds like a good thing to do, just to be on the safe side.

I am trying for days now to get a waternark on the large product images and what I try I do not get it.
I tried to upload teh files agian.
Tried disabling and enablin again.
For the medium size the watermark is OK.\

IS tehre anyone that can give me a clue?

I'm having the same issue as Sleepless. After I upload my Large image, IH2 then resizes my small images to different heights even though I set the width and height in Admin.
I would like for all my small images to be the same height. How can I achieve this? Thanks.

I'm going to direct you to the IH2 author's documentation at:

http://www.breakmyzencart.com/ih-doc

There you'll find the following:

There are different approaches to setting the dimension of images.
You can do it the normal way and simply specify width and height dimensions in pixels. Set width to 100 and height to 80 for example. If your image is 200×200 it will be resized to 80×80 because this is the biggest size that fits into 100×80.
You can just set width (or height) to e.g. 100 and leave the other dimension blank (or set to 0). Now you specified a width (or height) that the image in question will be resized to. The height (or width) will be calculated according to the correct aspect ratio.
You can for example set it like the first example but append “!” to one value (for example 80! for small image height). The generated resized images are centered on a canvas that matches exactly the given size for the corresponding image. If you specified 100×80! your 200×200 image from the first example will be resized to 80×80 and placed centered on a 100×80 canvas filled with the specified background color. Think of it as kind of forcing image dimensions without messing up the aspect ratio.

In your case set only the height, and the width will be the variable. Bear in mind that the aspect ratio is going to match the original image, if they are all of different sizes, well....
:bangin: clear the cache after you make these setting changes.

This should address your question.

Yes i'm having the exact same problem. IH2 admin works fine but it doesn't actually create the images in the medim and large image folders hence dead links on website for medium and large images. IH2 is not compressing the thumbnail either. I'm using zen 1.3.7 with GD libraries and image magik enabled. Is this an issue with 1.3.7?

please help as IH2 looks like a great thing when it's working.

IH2 no longer creates images in the large and medium folder. You upload the largest version you want shown, and IH2 creates your medium and small sizes in the bmz_cache folder. So on the product information page, you see what you set for medium sizes, on the product listing pages, you see what you set for the small image, and when you click to enlarge you see your large size. Do you actually have the older version, or perhaps you had the older version, and didn't fully change over to the newer version? Your site shouldn't be pointing to medium and large folders if you're your using the version for 1.3.7.

Hello - and thanks for the replies - hectic day today so late getting back. I was able to get the images to resize larger but only via trial and error. I went to the config/images/small image ht and wit and made changes. Unfortunately I have some tall images, some wide - and when I make a uniform change to the small h/w I get one ot the other (tall or wide) distorted.

Original file was uploaded at 75% and jpg - which I thought was the best compromise for speed. (35K) W337 H472

It makes zero sense to me why making changes to the "small" image size is having this effect - but then again I am just a layman. There must be something I am overlooking.

Please - someone with image expertise PM me so I can give you my admin login or show you what is going on via an online meeting. - totally cool technology if you have not seen it yet! The meeting alone is worth making the investment, I promise, and I can even show you how to get for free - think of the possibilities as a developer? and btw - I dont sell it I - just a very satisfied user.

Regards,

Hi

I Had the image handler working fine . No errors. I have the Zen 1.3.7 version with IH2.

Some of my images were not hovering and some were. So I, uninstalled IH2 in IH2 admin then re installed it. All of my image hovers now gone. None of the images will hover.

Question: How do I get all of my current images on the server to hover again?

really need this

Thanks in advance

I'm going to go back and read through this thread. But here is my problem. I just installed this on my site. The only thing the hover effect is working on is my category images but none of my actual product images. The link is in my signature any help is greatly welcomed.

As I am searching and reading and searchin and still do not know how to solve this.

I am trying for days now to get a watermark on the large product images. Whatecer I try I do not get watermarks on the large images.
I tried to upload the files agian. Without result
Tried disabling and enabling again. No result
For the medium size the watermark is OK. I can see it en every one can see them
But for large images There is just the normal clear picture:S

Isn't there anyone that can help me with this?:huh:
I really like IH2 but this part drives me creazy:(

You DO have the zoom_LRG.png in your images/large folder, don't you?.........I know......It's probably a stupid question, but sometimes, it's the most obvious things we overlook. Also, make sure that (images/large) that folder inherited the 777 attribute.

Delete any images you have in the small or medium folders.

Don't upload any images to those folders.

Simply upload a large image, and IH2 is supposed to do the rest.

I'm having trouble with controlling where the zoomed image displays. In Firefox, it is displaying at the top of the page above my header. See http://archaeo-logical.com for a demo. Why is this happening?

Looking at the html source code on your listings, there is no zooming script on any product thumbnail. Do you even have IH2 enabled?> jake74:

Hi,

Image Handler is regularly and randomly disactived on my ZenCart. I've find that the IH_VERSION entry in the CONFIGURATION table just disappears. Then, IH is simply disabled, and i have to "Install Image Handler" manually in the admin zone to solve the problem.

I can't explain.

My only lead is that this entry has a strange "configuration_group_id" value : 0.

Did you find a solution for this? Was it your browser cache? I am seeing the same thing. Thanks.

Hello

I just tried to install IH2 and I am getting this error:

Warning: strstr() [function.strstr]: Empty delimiter. in /includes/classes/bmz_image_handler.class.php on line 126

Does anyone know what I can do??

I saw something on this thread that didnt work for me... Making sure the Proportions and the resize were on. They were allready that way when I looked.

---

I commented out the lines

// if (strstr($this->src, $ihConf['large']['suffix'])) {
// $this->sizetype = 'large';
// } elseif (strstr($this->src, $ihConf['medium']['suffix'])) {
// $this->sizetype = 'medium';
// } elseif ((intval($this->width) == intval($ihConf['small']['width'])) && (intval($this->height) == intval($ihConf['small']['height']))) {
// $this->sizetype = 'small';
// } else
// $this->sizetype = 'generic';
}

and it seems to work now... Do you think there will be any complications later on for this???

Hi thanks for your reply, i deleted all images in the medium and large folders but this makes no difference.

I have been uploading an image via add new product in addmin or i have also tried tools>image handler2 add new image. Both produce dead links on the med and large image sizes on the website. when i get properties of the dead link image, it points at http://kivalin.com/shop/images/medium/e68c_1_b_MED.JPG
If zen cart 1.3.7 doesn't use the med and large image folders why is the image link pointing to it? I noticed a couple of others have had this same problem. Any ideas anyone?
