Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[Alex Clarke]

Hello anyone,

I set up light box with Zen Cart 1.37 1 with HI 2(0916). However, it looks like HI does not work with Light box?! Also, when I clicked the product info-image, only the main image works fine for light box but I do not have the "NEXT Button" to look at the other images. (I used HI2 to add extra images.) Please see my website.

Could anyone help me about HI2 and Light box issue? Could anyone know how I can show the next button?

Thank you so much.

Ken

It looks like there is a bug with this release of Zen Lightbox.

To get the images (next, previous and close buttons) to display, you'll need to copy the zen_lightbox folder (found in includes/templates/your-template-name/images) to includes/templates/template_default/images. That should sort it out for you. I'll be fixing this issue in the next release.

What problems were you experiencing with Zen Lightbox and IH2?

Alex,

This is just awesome! Websites couldn't look more professional. Thank you for your time and effort, I tell you, they all worth the result.

Other than it's eye candy, it protects the images as well. Although not impossible, it's more difficult to save images when they are displayed in this lightbox.

Great stuff man.

Glad you like it! To protect your images further you can always add a watermark using IH2.

The first Lightbox image works and look
s great, but it hangs on the second image. any suggestions.

It's a clean install of Zen. All of the files are stored in the same directory and they are named with suffixes of _01, _02...

Thanks for any replies

Do you have a link to your website please?

Hi folks. I've got the lightbox installed and it's working great except for the additional images. I've read and re-read the tutorial several times and tried a bunch of different things, but I'm not having any luck.

Here's my image naming conventions:

images/books/medium/slh_01_MED.jpg

images/books/medium/slh_02_MED.jpg

images/books/large/slh_01_LRG.jpg

images/books/large/slh_02_LRG.jpg

The first medium shows up fine on the page and opens the first large when you click on it. But there is no "next" button displayed, and no additional thumbnails on the page. Is there an additional module I need to install?

Here's a link:

Any help is much appreciated.

Did additional images work before you installed Zen Lightbox?

[tactics]

Unfortunately, I didn't try additional images before hand. I knew I wanted to use the lightbox, so it's the first thing I did after the base install.

[Alex Clarke]

I'm 99% sure that your filenames and/or location for these additional images are incorrect.

If setup correctly, your additional images wil appear on the product page (and also be viewable via Zen Lightbox).

I recommend reading this tutorial...

That should sort things out for you. :)

oohhh:-)

im cleverer than i thought....managed to get it working!!


Now just to find out how to add multiple images...

[vik007]

Hi guys.

Iv tried to follow the tutorial to add multiple pixs..but still cant seem to follow it.

1. Created a new product and uploaded a picture (signature.jpg) to a folder called 'Cricket Bats'

2. Used FTP to place two more pixs in that folder called:

signature_01.jpg
signature_02.jpg


3. When i find the product (http://letsplaysport.co.uk/zc/index....roducts_id=144)

i click the main picture and it loads..but it does not switch to he second / third pic../it just hangs?

What am i doing wrong?

Thankyou

Whenever I install this file:

tpl_modules_main_product_image

I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_lightbox() in /home/treed/public_html/boutique/includes/templates/classic/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php

[KarstensMommy]

Nevermind, I fixed it :)
