Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[DivaVocals]

OK I bit the bullet and have installed colorbox but I see this in the controls to set:

If Enable Resize Animations is set to true, the lightbox will resize its width from this value to the current image width, when first displayed.

Where do I find the critter to resize animations?, it is not in the colorbox control settings.

Also, if I do not want the slideshow effect how do I enable the next and previous buttons or are they not available with this lightbox?

Should I have started this in a thread of its own since there is not thread for colorbox support?

Do a search.. there is indeed a support thread for Colorbox..

Well I did kinda sorta but not needed....well maybe LOL

how's that for certainty. I was looking for the next/prev buttons like this lightbox and did not realize they were so tiny and not in the upper corners of the window but at the bottom.

I am going to search for the thread later to just find out if there is a way to show them larger or text vs the circular buttons.

Thanks

Some how I managed to lose the bullets in the bottom right of the image. I first had 4 of them there with 4 pictures and it worked fine. I added a 5th picture and during that process is when I lost the bullets. All 5 pictures show up properly, but the bullets don't. Any ideas?

absolutely no idea because it doesn't sound like what you're asking about has anything to do with zen-lightbox

I use IH4 and have all of my product images automatically populated with that. Right now I have one product image and it scales it down for the thumbnails, etc.

What I am wanting to do is have extra images below my main product image that people can click through to see product samples, etc. - nice and big thumbnails, and have a nice popup to go with it. Like a slideshow of sorts, I guess that's what a lightbox is?

I'm sorry, I have a very hard time figuring out zen cart and coding. But I am trying, and I am doing it on my end 100% myself.

Anyway, I was reading about compatibility about IH4 and this addon, and I am not sure I understand? I have to disable the nice lightbox feature? I haven't installed this yet, I am trying to figure out how it works before I do so I don't break anything.

ZL uses jquery v 1.4.4 which conflicts with other modules / templates.

Learned this the hard way after installing a template from Picaflor Azul on one of my development sites.

See: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...06#post1249006

My solution is posted there as well (a few posts down).

Suggest to replace ZL jquery v1.4.4 with jquery v1.10.2 then test and submit an update to the plugins.

Cheers / Frank

IMO really not neccesary to submit an update for that. Alot of plugins that use jquery use the version that is out at that time. So maybe a sticky in a subforum would be more appropriate to notify those who installl blindly that they should look what version or if multiple versions of jquery are being loaded on their site and to choose the latest one that works.

Open source forum.. Anyone can update a module.. YOU certainly can make this update and submit it..

The author has stated that he will be making NO further updates to this module for two reasons:
1. Many of the underlying supporting elements are soon to be/may already be obsolete
2. This module is NOT responsive and for the afore mentioned reason will not be updated to be responsive..

It does, but I would suggest replacing this with Zen Colorbox..

I agree.. a note to those who blindly install modules is a workable stopgap measure..
