Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

Monsunemoon:

Update: Its only the "Next" button in gallery mode in Opera that doesnt work. The keyboard arrow keys cycle through the images in Lightbox, and the "Prev" button works. Its just the Next button that is broken. Please help.

some people with google chrome have problems also so it may be just a setting or just and opera thing.

Hi all,
I have searched thru the forum for answers to a question that has been asked before but not answered as far as I can see.

I have a 1.3.8a install running IH2 and zen lightbox.

How do I get zen lightbox to work with the images on the product listing page, you know when you enter a category... initial list.
I have tried setting medium images for hot spot etc, also copied the jscript_zen_lightbox.php file into all the page folders and still won't work.

Anyone know how to fix this or where else I should look.
Cheers

do you mean like if the category is backgrounds...click that link and see them all listed in the column?

I do not think lightbox will work that way since those are like doors to the product page, where the lightbox feature does work...with image handler they get the medium size to look at and give them a taste and want to see more by clicking the image.

Hello, hopefuly somebody can tell me what to do to get lightbox working

I installed a clean zencart 1.3.8a =working
Image Handler2 Version: 2.0 = working
zen_lightbox-v1.5-20081218 = not working

I did everything told in the install file and Image Handler is working fine only lightbox doesnt work.
When I click to open a larger image nothing happens at all.

Thanks for any help.

this is my first time installing this mod .
problem im having is that all related js files are loaded using lightbox file and not by zencart . so now that i wan to add some other jquery script , i ran into errors , due to the fact that , jquery loaded by lightbox, loads Before my js scripts and those script can not initialize some functions.
wondering how i ( zencart ) load my script after jquery ?

thanks.

do the setting show in the configuration column?

did you set it to true so it will know to work?

if yes then open the zip and go to your server files and make double sure you put everything into the right spot...if you are using ANY template other than classic you need to create a folder with that templates name in the fodler where it is indicated (your_template folders or custom folders) that will tell you that you need to place those files in there.

like in the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/your_template

you need to create a fodler in that extra_definitions folder with your templates name and place the file into it....so if your template is mostlygrey you create a fodler called mostlygrey and plop the contents of the "your_template" folder into it.

hope that does not confuse you...I am good at confusing people.

Thank you for your reply

Yes It shows

did you set it to true so it will know to work?

Yes I did and when i set it to false the old popup still works fine but in true there is no popup or lightbox

Still using classic . Double checked everything is in the right place

like in the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/your_template

you need to create a fodler in that extra_definitions folder with your templates name and place the file into it....so if your template is mostlygrey you create a fodler called mostlygrey and plop the contents of the "your_template" folder into it.

Hahaha no you are not confusing(-:

some will fight with each other and if it is an addon it may have overwritten another file that lightbox needed. or is it from a custom theme?

well i was going to tell you to check and make sure the image did not go walk about but that function has never worked at my store...and still doesn't and I know not why.

I just installed the Lightbox Gallery and it just is not working! I have used this before and have not had a problem but on this site I just cannot figure it out...yes all the files are correct and the database is correct and it is turned on - but when you click on an image it just goes to a larger new screen

...I am thinking there is a conflict with another file that I have but cannot figure out which one...

Can anyone with more experience with this mod take a quick peak and see if there is any reason you can see for this mod not too work?!?!?!?

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is a test page with multiple products...

http://outdoorcookingdepot.com/buccaneer-tailgate-cooler?cPath=32_76

I REALLY appreciate anyones help - this is making me crazy!

@jill8026:

what theme is that...a zen theme or one that is from a different locatin other than this site---paid for maybe??

I would think maybe it is a file got overwritten or it conflicts with the purchased theme.

On my test site...http://a2z-test.com

Followed all instructions expicitly.....

An out-of-the-box zen 1.3.8a installation classic template

IH2 allowing to overwrite all files

Lightbox

All working fine....exactly as it should

Now I just have to figure out what is wrong on my customers website...http://flowers-by-design.info...where IH2 works but Lightbox won't......

Any ideas anybody.....

oopsie...gave him a alteration but good didn't I?

anyway my apologies---it is done with my nickname too so i know what he goes thru...being a she called a he.

ok did they ever work after installing?

IH2 worked like a dream....this morning I configured all the sizes for him....then I put in lightbox.....followed your instructions to the letter...never got any errors when I did the SQL...I'm stumpt...

P.S. have another flowers site at http://textadvertiser.com/zen ... This was used to give him an idea of what could be done. IH2 & lightbox were both installed there .. after a few days lightbox gave up and stopped working... They are all on the same physical server .. so it's not that

I've read most of this forum today ... found the fix for image zoom on mouseover and applied it to some/all above sites ... but can't seem to find anything that would solve my current problem.

was going to ask which template but you said classic but with that automated header i thought it might have been a paid for template...on his store.

please check to make sure it is still classic if not then post what template is being used in admin listing.

classic on http://a2z-test.com

special purchased template on http://flowers-by-design.info. It's called ZC04A00425

don't worry about http://textadvertiser.com/zen that was just a test site and will disappear soon....

I did a clean basic out-the-box on http://a2z-test.com just to check my server ... it worked, so server not the problem.

I've got the folder naming for lightbox template files done correctly for flowers-by-design site, rechecked my upload, double checked MyPHPadmin to see the SQL went in OK.

Don't know what else to do. Well there is one thing...get some sleep...been at it now for 16 hours straight :lamo: and not eaten anything either...it's 10pm here so nighty night I'll check back in 7 or 8 hours.

:hug:
