I can't seem to get the close button to view in FF. I've tried adding a colour to the close link in the style sheet but that's not made any difference. I see that other people have had the same problem. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Just realised that I have the same problem in IE8

I have a scroll problem in FF if the large promo is too big but it shows on mine with the white background where the button should be

and i alwo have it set to close when the image is clicked on as well

As you know in Chrome, Zenlight has problems :shocking:, not yet fixed. But today I found http://www.zencarter.com/shop/sideboxes/categories-dressing-p-482/ if you click over image, yesss seems to be LightBox, and has not problems in chrome. :yes:

Obviously zencarter.com has changed code and fix the problem, or use another contribution, unfortunally i've basic knowledges of JavaScript :frusty:, to see code
http://www.zencarter.com/shop/includes/templates/zencarter/jscript/zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js

If somebody can help.... Thank's! :bigups:

Installed LB and everything works great, but the main image (The big one) gets ordered as the last of for example 4 of 4 images.

Can this be how they are placed in the product info page?
I have some thumbs fore detailed images to the left and then the main image to the right.

If someone had this problem and solved it pls help

Thanx

focus360:

Your problem has nothing to do with the name of your filenames or the lightbox mod.

You have made changes to the product info template manually or via some mod?

This div

<div id="productAdditionalImages">

is above this div

<div id="productMainImage" align="center">

So consequently your main product image is the last image in the source code.

:oops:Just saw this in the thred is there a way to go around this and make the main image being placed after aditional and still get it to be the first image in a series pls get back to me anyone.:frusty:

Heya i had this installed and then added in a links manager and now the lightbox doesnt work. How do i get it working again?

I need some help please to get this to work. I spent the afternoon working on it. I did try the obvious fix I found on this post but no luck. First, I'm am running 1.3.8a with the following mods;
-About Us
-Add More Information Side Boxes
-What's New Scroller

I'll try to outline clealy what i've done, and what the results were.

Installed Mod following directions being sure to substitute my custom folder where appropriate.

Ran SQL script and got the following error:
"1146 Table 'woodwork_zc1.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Checked database using phpMyAdmin and found that tables have zen_ prefix. Chaged the following in SQL script:
INSERT INTO configuration_group
INSERT INTO zen_configuration_group

UPDATE configuration_group
UPDATE zen_configuration_group

FROM configuration_group
FROM zen_configuration_group

INSERT INTO configuration
INSERT INTO zen_configuration

Ran SQL uninstall script to clean up database.

Ran modified SQL script and got the following errors:
4 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration_group does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!
ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration_group does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!
ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration_group does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!
ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!
Note: 3 statements ignored. See"upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

I thought I'd stop here before I do any damage. Seems like the tables exists, but they can't be found by the script. Can anyone help. Thanks.

tim,

first you need to go into your database---not just the sql section in the admin section of your store and uninstall lightbox

again go through your folders and make certain that you have the files in the correct spot but opening the folders indicated in the zip and the exact same folders on your sever.

when you uninstall the sql make certain you use the same prefix you used the other times you installed it --- woodwork_zc1

also make certain in admin configuration that it is not listed/active, I actually had to remove all files before running the installer then upload the files to reinstall the sql.

then when you add the prefix to your script only add it to:

INSERT INTO zen_configuration_group VALUES (NULL, 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox settings', '0', '1');
UPDATE zen_configuration_group SET sort_order = LAST_INSERT_ID() WHERE configuration_group_id = LAST_INSERT_ID();

SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM zen_configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';

INSERT INTO zen_configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key,

changing where the red words are...and then install in either your admin sql or through the database itself

let us know what happened.

Success...but only after a lot of experimentation. I wont go into all the details, but what you suggested did not work for me. After running several modified install attempts based on the errors I was getting, I finally figured out the only thing I needed to change in the script was the SELECT command line to insert the zen_ prefix. The script was run directly from the SQL Query Executor box.

SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';
was changed to:

SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM zen_configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';

I think I could safely say that if someone runs the unmodified script, and gets the following error, then the fix above should work...but I'll leave that to those more experienced to confirm.

1146 Table 'your_database.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

thanks for the info, many have had trouble and many have been aided with the info I and others have given and it is my realization that no two places will have the same mistake all the time...I know I have since installed this on several stores now with no trouble what so ever, yet on my own it pitched a fit.

Yes...I appreciate all the help folks from this forum have given me while getting my site configured. There is no way I could have gotten as far as I have without folks like you. You're a great bunch. I thank you all.

Hi Dark Angel, I am having the same prob as edtoy1. I think you misunderstood his problem, we click on the thumbnail and it opens just the bigger image in the same browser window, no lightbox.

Any thoughts?
TIA

ok then are you sure

1. you have all the files in the right place
2. the ones that go into your templates folder...did the folder get named exactly like the theme named it?
3. what theme are you using (recently found that one theme--purchaesed theme --- does not play nice with it
4. is this a fresh install or update from earlier version?

lets start with that and a link to the store is nice too.

I went back to his site to check again and now it opens up into the normal popup window but when i checked it last time it did not do that...it had a hover window before you clicked the image.

he may have a custom theme, how about you

Thankyou so much for your reply. I have reinstalled everything (including SQL) and double checked template names. This is a fresh install into a custom theme (based on the default with minor layout changes).

I have just realised what an idiot I am. I'm trying to install it into an older site with Version 1.3.0.2. Please disregard and save you help for someone who deserves it!!!

Slinking away into the shadows now...

no need to slink away I hide in the same corner at times...in my case it is nothing like edit the file -- refresh page -- wonder why change did not take place -- hit head on desk cause I forgot to upload and overwrite the server file.

thinking it and editing it does not make it so...lol

:frusty:
I know I'm doing everything correctly, because I've installed this modification on my store, but it doesn't seem to want to work on my girlfriend's store: http://www.remembertheoccasions.com

On her store, it opens the larger image in the same window.
No errors when processing the SQL statements.
I've re-uploaded all files multiple times.
I've changed the template folder names to my template.

Look through the thread, and I'm out of ideas.

Thanks! :clap:

is this theme one from zencart area or is it a purchase theme from another source.

I have discovered that some purchase themes ---even if billed as compatible with zen cart and are for our store software we use and love...doesn't

they don't even use the settings from admin for many things too and that is a shame...but is their way of getting the user to come back for them to "fix" it for a price. I know it is their way to make money but Not too good imho and irritates me...lol

Hmmm interesting. Thanks for the response and the plugin. It's a contributed free beta template from this forum, Modern Zen. I'll ping the creator of the template.
:clap:

I have installed Lightbox 1.5 and it works well. My only problem is that I cannot see any additional images from the inital popup. I do not see next or previous and therefore cannot move to the next image for the product.

I do see the additional images on the product pages but not with the Lightbox.

The website is http://whiskers-ok.com

Please help me - I have tried to find any solution but cannot move any further...

@ZeusMM:

I went to your shop and instead of the images (the extra images) just being there as usual, they seem to have asmall popup window of their own--a hover window is what I call it. What I mean is is you hold your mouse over the extra images at the bottom they show to you in a hovering window.

do you have more than one type of lighbox set up?

My images in my own store do not open into a lightbox window with "next" nor show that there are more either, never has. I think it is because (in my case) due to the way I have mine named.

Read the documents in the zip and there is one of them it tells you about the naming of the images.

sorry not much help
