New Product Images Add-on - HoverBox / Lightbox

[DerManoMann]

Yes, time is always an issue. I did a diff of the files compared to 1.3.8a and things do look not too bad. \
I suppose I could create a simple ZenMagick plugin to make things work without too much trouble.
Stay tuned..

Hi there,

I created a ZenMagick plugin for Hover Box3. It turned out to be easier to include the complete HB3 code into the plugin, rather than having to install HB3 and then the plugin. That means the plugin is based on the current rc2 of Hover Box3.


The plugin version also includes a couple small improvements:

* A HB3 image link can be created with a single line function call anywhere in your templates

* Images are grouped by product id, so it is possible to have multiple slideshows per page

* SQL install/uninstall is handled by the ZenMagick plugin framework, so it's just upload, install/enable plugin via the Plugin Manager and done!

* All required javaScript/CSS is added to the page dynamically, so no layout changes required.


It may take a few days to make this available for official download,
so if you are desperate to get it, PM or drop me an email

Cheers,
DerManoMann

Nice, I'll keep you updated with code updates on our end.

Hi Testuser
its really good piece of work Hover Box 2 Thanks
I have a problem with hoverbox 2 and the file additional_images.php this file over wrights additional_images.php in IH2 and the new code in the section "link preparation" causes only in IE7 (its fine with firefox) the center column of the product page with additional images to overshoot to the right over the right column.
Could you have a look at this problem?
Thanks again

In addition, i'm not getting a popup when hovering over images. I believed this was supposed to still happen.... or am i mistaken?

Hi,

I've got two images in the product description.
-aurad-qusyasyiah.jpg
-aurad-qusyasyiah_2.jpg

both are detected in the zen cart and reflect in the production description, but HoverBox doesn't seem to recognise the 2nd picture, meaning there is no slideshow. Only the base picture, aurad-qusyasyiah.jpg, was shown.

Also the secondary picture has no option for HoverBox, if I click the 2nd picture, on the product description, there is a pop up window instead.

What's wrong? Is the naming of the images wrong?

Hi there, I noticed your additional images work fine with IE7, did you resolve it?
I am interested how you solved it because I am not sure of my solution if its stable.

The image hover problem is to do with the small image size in the admin/images where the small image sizes have to be the same for the medium image (product image) to popup when you hover on top.

Hi there Testuser,
I have a problem with Hoverbox 3, could you help me please?
I have just found out that it interferes badly with IE7. Windows Explorer stops half way when loading the page and says "cannot open the internet site - operation aborted"
Have you had this problem before?
What can the problem be?
I would appreciate your input, thanks
Franco

Hi Testuser,
Some more info, I have installed in my server, PHP 5.25, MySQL 5, Imegemagik, GD & Json libraries.
Would any of these interfere with HB3?
