Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

Hi Everyone,
I have just installed this and everything is functioning correctly on the site but I don't have any controls in Admin. I've checked the DB and all the entries from the SQL file are there, is there something else I am supposed to do?
I am running the Classic green template almost straight out of the box, apart from a sales reporting Mod this is the only other Mod installed.

Thanx in adv,
Bob

Exactly the same problem as Bob by the sounds of it.

Installed as per the instructions, lightbox appears in the admin but when I click on it nothing in there to do?

When I added the sql patch it took me to a page error 404 .... is this normal?

So what is the problem here?

running zen cart 1.38a

Have done a restore on my zen cart and the lightbox still remains in the admin??

How do you remove this?

Managed to remove it .... unsure why this is not working though?

tried installing this again, no luck. Does not work!

there is a php file included in the download files that is outside the includes folder...where the hell does that go as there is nothing in the instructions that mention this file?

Is there anyone that can help with this please ?? :clap::clap:

the read me tels you that the loose file is for adding to some folders.

when you installed it did you make certain you installed the files from the folders in the zip to the exact same folders in the server?

a link would be really helpful too but if you let me see i might be able to help

sent you a pm darkangel

Darkangel.... unsure where you gone?

I have installed the faul slimbox version with no probs, uploaded the sql file and this uploaded as it should rather then a 404 page error on this version?

The only thing I need to do now is work out how to add additional images or a gallery of images so customer can click next / previous etc.

After a few trials I've managed to install the SQL patch correctly and also installed all the files in the right folders. However, when I click on any photo on my site I only get a white window and has to reload the page to get rid of it.
What have I done wrong ?
My site is https://www.PUREchocolatetruffles.co.uk.
Any help would be very welcome. Thanks.

I found the error. Had to delete remains from a mootools_on_product_info installation. Sorry to have bothered you.

For all those with jquery issues......mootools has a dollar safe mode now http://mootools.net/blog/2009/06/22/the-dollar-safe-mode/

davewest:

question...

I use a updated version of Slimbox 1.7 so I could use it with a higher version of Mootools.... is there a desire to have this mod upgraded to Slimbox 1.7?

Next, Slimbox 2.0 use the jQuery 1.3 or higher library, is there a need for this one as will?

Both are easy to setup in the current Zen Lightbox mod.

Just wanted to ask before spending the time on it, the longest amount of time would be setting up the install instructions...

I would very much appreciate if you can instruct me on how to upgrade lightbox to use slimbox 2.0. Jquery and MooTools is not working correctly together.

davewest:

Slimbox 1.67 is what's in zen lightbox which uses mootools library. If your site is using jquary library, the two don't mix well. I think there was a walk around back some posts.... not sure why. Best answer is to upgrade Slimbox to version 2.0 which makes use of the jquary library instead of Mootools.

I just wanted to confirm that it is a jquery conflict. I removed the jquery libraries from my template and it zen lightbox started working instantly. I'm having trouble applying the suggestion to use slimbox 2.0...what files do I need to replace?

thanks

Thank you, I followed your tutorial and uploaded as you decribed but can not get LIghtbox to work

this is the link I have on the gallery (ez)page

<a href="http://stainlesssteelshoulderscrew.com/images/slottedSS.jpg" rel="here is my caption">My Image</a>

additionally I uploaded the javascript to the "conditions page"

and it gave me a blank page(I removed it)

please advise:smile:

make double sure you put the files in the correct places on your server, please.

do you have a different theme other than the classic one---yes---then the template files need to go into that folder not the default one too

the is one file you may need to merge with the original one too and then there is the additional pages file that needs to go into a foler with the name of your template too.

the file for it to work in the different pages needs to be added to each page folder you want it to show in...like the download pages, shopping cart and so on.

if you have the slimbox 2.0 zip then the readme should say which to replace...when upgrading...or to delete former ones then replace all....see what the readme suggests

Hello and congratulations to Alex for the excellent Zen Lightbox mod.
I installed the version v1.5 on v1.3.9f zen cart, and everything works except for the page info product:
clicking on the image (image_MED.jpg) opens in the lightbox the same image and not the great (image_LGR.jpg).
I do not know if I did not understand how it works or if I need to use
image_LGR.jpg only or if there is some problem.
Can somebody help me?

P.S. I searched the forum but I could not find the right thread.

I am new to Zen-Cart.
I have installed this add-on and I have also installed this addon
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=672

I have read the whole thread but I cannot find how to add multiple images to a product. Anyone can help?
Thanks.

I use small and large.... never had a need for medium.. it does work with small and large... we can't tell if you have a problem without something to look at...

Thanks.

At the top of the forum, links to tutorials... lots of good info... one on using additional images takes a bit to read it...https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=58 and follow it, once additional images is working right, then lightbox takes whats working and displays it.
