Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

ZC 1.50 did away with admin/includes/boxes, so any mods using them will not function properly until those mods are appropriately updated.

Here is a list of mods that work with 1.5



Info about 1.50 beta (to see what's changed)
Info about 1.50 Release Candidate versions

Hi everyone,

Having a bit of a problem with Lightbox.

I had no problems adding the files or running the script and the actual Lightbox works correctly, however I don't have an option for Zen Lightbox in my admin panel!

As far as I can see it should be under Admin - Configuration - Zen Lightbox but there's nothing there?

I'm actually looking for a way to display captions when using additional images and stumbled across the admin settings being missing, if anyone can help with either of my problems it would be hugely appreciated!

I'm using:
- Zen Cart v1.5.0RC2
- Zen Lightbox v1.6

Sorry my site is using local server at the moment so I don't have a link!

Cheers
Josh

Will it be OK to downgrade back to 1.3.9h?

I'm not 100% sure why I chose the beta download to be honest, think I was a bit eager to get started!

There is a release candidate version of 1.50. If you're going to use 1.50, make sure you're using the RC rather than the beta.

I would not attempt to "downgrade". If you want to use 139h, do a complete uninstall of 150 and a fresh install of 139h.

If you need your store to be up and running sooner rather than later and want to use a lot of mods (or mods that aren't updated yet), recommend you install 139h with the mods of your choice, and once all the mods are updated to work with 150, you can upgrade at that time.

They are using RC2.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I think I'll leave it on 1.5 for the minute and have a mess around to see if I can get the captions to work (even if it means just throwing the info I need straight onto the pictures) Then hopefully an update to the plugin will arrive at some point.

Cheers guys!

Hi there, I just installed Zen Lightbox in one of my customer sites then I got this...

http://www.casademotores.com/sitio/i...&products_id=7

When you click on the main or additional images, youll see the larger image at the botton of the site, cropped.

I reuploaded all the files many times.

Any ideas?
Tested on Firefox 7, IE 8.
Zen Cart 1.39h
Add-ons installed relative to images:
Image Handler 3
Additional Images Hover 1.0

Thank you all in advance.

My guess would be the references to 3 versions of jQuery:
1.6 (commented out)
1.5.2
and 1.4.4 (that zlb uses)

The commented one were from an unsucessfull test installation of colorbox module, already uninstalled.
The 1.5.2 version is from Additional Images Rollover module.
The 1.4.4 is from Zen lightbox.

Actually I deleted the 1.5.2 file for testing purpose and the problem is still there.

Greetings.

the color box mod---did it install a .js file? If so have you tried removing it too.

I have these:
jscript/jquery-1.4.4.min.js -- LB
jscript/jscript_easySlider.js -- Easy Slider
jscript/jscript_imagehover.js -- IH3
jscript/jscript_jquery.js -- IH3

jscript/jscript_mootools-1.3.js -- this one I think was from a previous version of LB that did not get removed but it seems to place nice and not give trouble.

Yes, I did it.
I installed another lightbox version that uses mootools library, then the zen lightbox is working fine but now I had to close the image twice, Its obvious that one screen is from simple lightbox and the other is from zen lightbox. Looks like zen lightbox was having troubles finding slimbox libraries. I manage the code to open just one screen, I know this is kind of lazy patching(not solving the problem actually, just hiding it) but I am on a hurry with this page. Maybe on next store I try to fing a better solution.

Thank you all for your replies.

another idea...try uninstalling the second one for a bit.

when you installed LB and IH3....which one did you install first?

I think it is the additional_images.php found in includes/modules/your-templates folder

upload it to replace the one you have up there -- use the one from the LB zip and NOT the one from IH3

They work together but sometimes this file needs to be uploaded again.

remember use the one from LB
