Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[Sethaholic]

I was wrong about Chrome... its Mootools that needs to be upgraded to version 1.3 in zen lightbox.... Chrome wont work with anything lower then 1.3 of Mootools....

How do you upgrade to version 1.3 of Mootools in Zen Lightbox? Please help...my lightbox hasn't worked since I upgraded to latest version of Chrome...but it works in all other browsers. TIA

UPDATE:

ZeeRock,
try installing fual_slimbox.v0.1.5 . Follow the instructions for Zen Lightbox 1.4 users . I have ZL 1.5 but it worked fine for me.

My jscript problem disappeared with the installation.

Note:
I had to remove the ZL css in order for the styling to look right in the new fual pop up windows.

Hope it works for you! I've been banging my head on this --what should have been a very simple --thing for days.

I also noticed this Chrome7 problem.

Where's the problem? Why it doesn't work?

Is this ZL still developed or we should migrate to alternative?

I just successfully upgraded my zen lightbox by opening the slimbox.php file and upgrading the slimbox code to slimbox version 2 for jQuery rather than MooTools. I'll get a link up for the fix as soon as i've tested that the lightbox options are working (i think they are just don't want to pass on lousy code). My Chrome 7 issues is now gone though.

Go to Mootools web site, download 1.3 compacted, rename it to something like 'jscript_mootools-1.3.js' replace mootools in your template jscript folder... download the zip I uploaded some posts back, unzip and replace the one in \includes\classes\zen_lightbox\slimbox.php and that should do it...

Fuel had a even older version of Slimbox then zen lightbox did.... not sure if it was updated...

Slimbox 2 works grate with the jquery library... same thing, edit the slimbox.php to do the jquery calls using the php coding like before and all should work the same.... I have other scripts using the mootools library is why I'll stay with it...

Had to do some searching, thought the page had gone, but found it again here http://code.google.com/p/slimbox/wiki/MooToolsAPI

I've tried both ways and this works best for ez-pages instead of javascript.... should degrade to a popup or new window...

this work on Slinbox 1.71 and full mootools 1.3

On your ez-page do your links with the rel="lightbox" in the links for linghtbox to work...

Dave I was able to get this to work! Thanks so much! You Da Man!!!!!!!!!

I am having the same problem with Google Chrome 7.0.517.41. I tried to follow this thread and fix it, but Im not sure where you get the mootools update from. On their site (http://mootools.net/download) downloading "MooTools Core 1.3 with compatibility" gives me one file called "mootools-core-1.3-full-compat.js", but in Dave's steps it says "replace mootools in your template jscript folder". I have 2 files in my "/public_html/includes/templates/CUSTOM/jscript" folder called "zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js" and "zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js". Which one do I replace, or am I doing something wrong?

Can someone write how to do this in a clear step by step guide, because this thread is hard to follow.

Thanks!

What I did was open the mootools1.3.js file (in Dreamweaver), copy the code and replace the code in both the mootools_custom.js and motools_default.js. Then upload these two new files to your server to replace the old ones.

After that, download the zip file from Dave and replace the slimbox file. Worked for me. Hope that helps.
