Fual Slimbox (Lightbox)
|
Slimbox is a next generation Lightbox able to display images and iframes with totally customisible Mootools effects and CSS style. "Lightbox" was the original engine for the now famous effect that has spread like wildfire around the web over the past year or two, becoming the defacto Web 2.0 method of displaying images. However, as with most things, more efficient copies come along. At only 30kb Slimbox is a much smaller download than than Lightbox which weights in at over 100Kb. Since JS tends not to be cached so well by browsers this offers genuine speed increases to users. In addition it is powered by Mootools effects, making it much more customisable than Lightbox. Props to: Christophe Beyls (http://www.digitalia.be/software/slimbox) for writing Slimbox, Yukio Arita (http://homepage.mac.com/yukikun/software/slimbox_ex/) for extending it to work with iframes and Alex Clarke for the original ZL plugin which inspired me to write this. Help for users of OLD versions: Contains a patch for users who currently have Zen Lightbox 1.4 installed. The patch is non-destructive (in the sense that it doesn't stop Zen Lightbox from working and if you have both this and Zen Lightbox installed and switched on Zen Lightbox overrides Slimbox). Contains a work around for the slow DOM load issue that results in lightbox images going to a new window if they are clicked to quickly. |

This is an "adjustment" of Fual Slimbox to make it compatible with Zen Cart 1.5.0. It is NOT compatible with earlier versions of Zen Cart. For earlier versions of Zen Cart, version 0.1.5 of Fual Slimbox works fine. A new support thread has been opened at http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=191282 to support this version of the mod. |

Made a couple of bug fixes. 1 regarding validation, 1 regarding a javascript issue with single quotes. The main addition in this release is the option to give the lightbox the standard "Next" and "Prev" buttons when there are additional images to display. A lot of people had been asking about this, so here it is. This makes Slimbox fully compatible with IE6. |

| Fual Slimbox (Lightbox) - Version: v0.1.3 | |||||||||||||

Bug fixes: 1) Small image / large product name issue: Now the caption width is set dynamically based on the width of the image and the close link button. 2) Quotes in image name terminating caption string: This was a legacy code issue, addslashes had been used to clean the product name rather than htmlentities. |

Fixed an issue with the lightbox sitting behind CSS dropdown menus. Made a minor correction to the additional_images.php file that was causing errors with IH2 (cheers monkeyjr47906) |

Fixed a minor issue: if your template jscript folder is empty then the javascript is not found and it fails to work. Note: Tested on 1.3.8 and seems to be ok. |
