ok did that now in G chrome it opens the larger image by itself.

it opens the image in a blank page with nothing but the image

Hm, I have a question that may be a little stupid sounding, however, I'm wondering if this mod would be compatible with the Magic Zoom?

In the new 1.6 version of lightbox, Close on Overlay Click is set to False, but clicking on the overlay does indeed close the lightbox. So is there some funky about the 1.6 code for that setting? I fully removed all 1.5 files and ran uninstall.sql before installing 1.6, so my install of 1.6 should have been completely fresh and clean.

I also noticed that the mouse cursor, over the overlay, changes to a hand (like a hand over a link), whereas in 1.5 the mouse cursor did not change to a link hand over the overlay.

Anyway, developers have any comment about the click on overlay behavior (apparently) not following the setting?

In the new version 1.6 of Lightbox, neither of the following settings in Admin >> Zen Lightbox are functioning/controlling click behavior.

The reason for this appears to be because the new version of the slimbox.php file (\includes\classes\zen_lightbox) does not include the event handlers that are needed for these controls to function.

**Close on Image Click
Close on Overlay Click **

old code in slimbox.php:

<?php if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_CLOSE_OVERLAY == 'true') { echo '.addEvent("click",C)'; } ?>

Great product 'upgrade!'

Always helpful to search through the support thread before posting an issue/question.. A fair amount of discussion has already occurred here regarding the Chrome issue along with a confirmed working solution..

Soooooo.. if you look up a few posts, you'd have see this post by frank18: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=978027&postcount=2271:smile:

Good to know this as we weren't aware that the Zen Lightbox module even had been recently updated AND had specific code which supported IH2.. The Fual Slimbox module requires some minor file merging to work with IH2, and it was always understood that the same applied to Zen Lightbox..

Unless I am misunderstanding what I see looking at the Zen Lightbox code for the additional_images.php file, and what you posted here, CLEARLY Zen Lightbox does not require any of the IH2 files be merged.. (It looks as if all you have to do is simply overwrite the additional_images.php from IH2 with the one from Zen Lightbox and every thing works together)

Perhaps when time permits we will update the IH2 documentation accordingly to minimize any confusion going forward..

niestudio:

From what I can tell, the main changes in Zen LightBox to the additional_images.php file are mainly to work with Image Handler.
The code shows lines like this:

if (function_exists('handle_image')) {
$flag_has_large = true;
}

In my current setup i have the lightbox inside of an iFrame, so when i open an image everything appears fine but it centers the image to the center of the iFrame instead of the center of the entire page. This is an understandable issue but is there a way that i can manually over ride that and position the pops at a different location?? I wan to just move it from center to maybe top center, how can i do this?

The fix worked fine but only once I'd upgraded to lightbox 1.6

Hi Phil,
I just checked your site on Google Chrome on Mac and it seems to be OK, and it appears you have installed zen lightbox 1.6. Is this correct, and is everything now working as expected?

Hi fw541c,
Looking at the source for your site it appears you are still using version 1.5 of zen lightbox. Have you tried upgrading to 1.6?

Hi
I'm adding Zen Lightbox version 1.4 to a customers site which is running Zencart 1.3.7 patched with everything necessary, but haven't actually run the 1.3.7.1 upgrade. Does this matter? I notice that it says it's for 1.3.7.1 but I'd understood that as long as all the patches are installed there was no need to upgrade to 1.3.7.1 from the ZenCart perspective.

I am working on upgrading the whole site to the latest version, but my customer wants the Lightbox working first.

Thanks for any help.

Hi zenners, Happy New Year!:clap:

Today I just found that the newer version (v1.6) of Zen Lightbox for 1.3.9 was uploaded last month. So I installed it to my 1.3.9h zencart where image handler2 was already installed.

But here I got a problem! In the product description page, the lightbox function works perfectly! However the gallery mode is not working at all.

Here is the product page where I have an item with multiple 'additional images' and 'attribute swatches': https://www.jostaronline.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=9

I have swatch images for the attributes and additional images(named according to the additional image rule) and they are listed below the main image and product description.

To troubleshoot,

1) I checked into 'Configuration - Zen Lightbox' and 'Gallery Mode' was on.

2) I tried uninstall IH2.

3) I also tried to merge two 'additional images.php' in 'includes/modules' from 'IH2' and 'Zen Lightbox' but they seem identical using 'Compare plug-in in Notepad++.

4) I deleted IH2 image cache.

5) Using keyword 'gallery' I look thoroughly into this thread and no answer related to my situation was found!

I've currently turned on BOTH IH2 and Zen Lightbox 1.6.
My ultimate goal for the product description page in terms images is to have:

1) additional images inside the lightbox generated by clicking the main image

2) swatches to indicate which additional image corresponds to the particular color/print attribute.

Please, anybody, help me on this topic.
Many thanks in advance! :laugh:
