Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[VisExp]

Well I figured out why Lightbox 1.5 was not working for me, which is pretty amazing considering how clueless I am

I am running Slideshow 2! on my main page and I had the code for that embedded in includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_footer.php

Well it seems like Lightbox 1.5 and Slideshow 2! don't play nice together. So I moved the code for Slideshow 2! into includes/languages/english/html_includes/MY TEMPLATE NAME/define_main_page.php and voila everyone's getting along fabulously

Just thought I would post this in case it helps anyone.

Hi - I'm getting the following error when trying to run the sql file:

1146 Table 'bellabel_zc1.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I'm doing it via Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches.

I'm using ZC 1.3.8a

Still can't get this to work, and on a clean vanilla install of zc.

I have no idea what to do

I just tried it from phpMyAdmin and got this error, which I guess is the same thing...

Error

SQL query:

INSERT INTO `configuration_group`
VALUES (
NULL , 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox settings', '0', '1'
);

I've just checked your website and noticed this in the HTML output.

<!-- bof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-15 -->

It looks like the old version of Zen Lightbox wasn't completely uninstalled.

Make sure you uninstall v1.4 (as per the documentation) and then check that v1.5 was installed correctly.

Thank should solve your double image issue.

Quick question:
I would like to implement this great feature ONLY on my EZ pages.
Is this possible?

If it is which files to copy and which ones not.

Thanks for your help
Michael

This should be possible by installing Zen Lightbox as normal and then deleting the following files.

includes\modules\pages\document_general_info\jscript_zen_lightbox.php
includes\modules\pages\document_product_info\jscript_zen_lightbox.php
includes\modules\pages\product_free_shipping_info\jscript_zen_lightbox.php
includes\modules\pages\product_info\jscript_zen_lightbox.php
includes\modules\pages\product_music_info\jscript_zen_lightbox.php
includes\modules\pages\product_reviews\jscript_zen_lightbox.php
includes\modules\pages\product_reviews_info\jscript_zen_lightbox.php
includes\modules\pages\product_reviews_write\jscript_zen_lightbox.php
includes\modules\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER\additional_images.php
includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER\templates\tpl_modules_main_product_image.php

Now, Zen Lightbox will only work on EZ-Pages!

I've uploaded all the files and ran the SQL patch and now I get no display for a product listing. Example here:

http://games4gamersonline.com/zencar...roducts_id=790

If I replace tpl_modules_main_product_image.php with the pre-Lightbox version, it works fine (albeit w/o LB support). Any help? Thanks...

It looks like you're using the Cherry Zen template.

Other users have reported issues with Zen Lightbox and this template. I believe the tpl_modules_main_product_image.php file is used by both the template and Zen Lightbox.

If you merge the two files together (the one distributed with Zen Lightbox v1.5 and the one distributed with the template) that should resolve your issue.

I think there is a fix floating around in the Cherry Zen support thread.

v1.6 will include support for the Cherry Zen template.
I can always code the fix now, for a small fee. If you're interested please PM me.

Just a quick question.

I am running Lightbox 1.4 and it works just fine.

What would be the benefits of upgrading to 1.5 ?

Sorry if thats a dumb question but i'm wondering if it's worth waiting for 1.6 instead of updating a module that already works great at the moment.

v1.6 includes many updates and fixes.

Slimbox is now used and the output code has been reduced by over 50%. I pretty much re-wrote Zen Lightbox v1.4 from the ground up as v1.4 was very old and messy in places!
v1.6 will include many new features and a few fixes, but I recommend upgrading now.

Upgrading from v1.4 to v1.5 pretty much requires you to uninstall the old version and then install the new version (i.e. delete a load of files and upload the new ones). However, the v1.6 upgrade should simply involve uploading new files (i.e. there's no need to manually delete the old v1.5 files).

As VisExp pointed out, more admin options are available and the lightbox effect can now be used on any page of your website!

Great news!

Sorry for not replying sooner - I wasn't ignoring you!

Thanks for posting the Slideshow 2 fix that worked for you. If more users run into issues with Slideshow 2 and Zen Lightbox I can always add a fix to v1.6 to address this.

Have you tried using the updated install.sql code, in one of my previous posts?

If this doesn't work please post back with any error messages and your PHP and MySQL version.
