Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

This is all on point.
The zoom is the issue after the ZLB shows the image. If there is something that can make you view it more up close or zoom in closer after ZLB displays it that would be great, as the phone displays are so small and it's really needed.

I'm sorry I forgot to mention, that it would also be great to just zoom in on the ZLB image and it would stay in the center of the screen. Probably easier too.

I believe that the problem being referred to by Willy12 is in relation to 'enlarging' the image once opened in the Lightbox.

Say a visitor wanted to see more detail in the image so using 'pinch' they enlarge the lightbox to see a bigger image, in doing so the lightbox does disappear to the right off the screen (on Android too) and cannot be moved around - or closed as the 'close' button is off the screen.

Right.. and this was not very clear from the original post.. It was stated that this was resolved in the latest version of ZLB.

Because the issue being reported wasn't clear, and I was answering in a hurry, I mistakenly agreed with this. The issue is resolved with the Colorbox module. As it turns out the issue of ZLB NOT behaving responsively on mobile devices was not fully resolved. It is resolved in a yet to be released version of Zen Colorbox (NOT the one that is currently in the downloads section)

The beta is available here: https://github.com/daniel-hopkins/zen-colorbox

The discussion of there being more code rather than less, why of course... That is the way of developing functionality, I don't know why anything else would be expected. Surprisingly it is the small amount of code changes that can give such a large difference.

I understand how developing functionality works.. However, this is actually NOT the question I asked.. Rather I inquired about why more coding was needed if the problem was in fact resolved. As I JUST indicated, the problem is NOT resolved in full with ZLB..

Yes.. use the "pinch" feature to enlarge the view on the phone.. This is NOT something that needs to to be included in ZLB's functionality.. Smarthphones and tablets already support this.. However, ZLB does need to be modified to mimic the behavior in Zen Colorbox when using the pinch feature in a smartphone and tablet.. Since niestudio has been the active maintainer for both, he will make this change..

Sorry.. I couldn't correct this typo.. so let me clarify this last part..

Since niestudio has been the active maintainer for both ZLB and Zen Colorbox (beta), perhaps he will make this change..

I have been reading this, but am out of town and haven't been able to look into it yet. Slimbox, which is what ZLB is based on is no longer in active development, so it's unlikely that a true responsive version will come along. I will compare it to ZCB to see if there is a simple fix I could add, but don't hold your breath :)

As I come from under the fog of my holiday celebrations/shenanigans, I believe that this is why I selected Zen Colorbox (beta) over Zen Lightbox for my client's who have responsive templates..

Zen colorbox has been resubmitted a couple times, but now they don't want me to submit it as a new plugin, they wanted me to upgrade one from a few years ago. I've done that, and imagine it will be approved soon.

well that makes sense since your version is newer and improved.. it was going to be my suggestion to you on github..

Besides, seems we've all learned about spawning new package paths and how development can go awry if all that is needed is to carry on down the same path.

I guess I know better now. I was just looking at it from my point of view, that I never even downloaded that code, so it was not an upgrade of the old one, this one was from scratch. I asked the OD for his blessing to replace ALL of his code with mine, so it's still not really an "upgrade" except from the perspective of the plugins area.
