Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

Hello,

First off, this is a great addon!

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to not show the next / prev buttons on the image, until you mouse over that particular area.

I've tried overriding the CSS and created a #lbPrevLink:hover to change the background image, but that doesn't work. Been searching all over the forums and haven't found anything.

I am on ZenCart 1.3.8 and using Zen Lightbox 1.5.

Thanks!

I'm having a problem. I have 1.3.8a and IH2, I installed 1.5 light box and my hover over image disappeared. IH2 pop up box is now a new window. No light box pop up. Sql installed. Anyone else have this problem?

i tried everything below and ended up with this set of errors:

4 statements processed.

ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration_group does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!

ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration_group does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!

ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration_group does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!

ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!

Note: 3 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

4. Ran the sql installer from MyphpAdmin by adding the prefix_ infront of the main parts and it said it installed successfully

went into admin for my store and lo and behold there are the admin setting to change if need be.

hope that helps someone else...I forgot to mention that no matter what I did the admin section would not let me insert the sql coding at all.

GOT IT!
made this slight change and ran it through again...

Code:

---

SELECT @cgi := `configuration_group_id` FROM `zen_configuration_group` WHERE `configuration_group_title` = 'Zen Lightbox';

In the meantime, anyone having trouble running the install.sql code should review the following post.

It may prove helpful.



Thanks for your feedback.

In my opinion, the button overlay behaviour isn't really an issue. Most people display larger images in the lightbox, not ones of the same size.

However, the caption behaviour isn't really ideal. I'll see if this can be improved in a later release.

As for the blank lightbox issue, do you have link to this test site? If so, please PM it to me and I'll take a closer look.

Regards,

Alex

Alex,

This mysteriously started working after my last post. I didn't change anything. I did upload a test image rather than use the ZenCart default DVD image, and Lightbox seemed to work fine when the new image was viewed with Firefox. Later, I attempted using IE again, and low and behold, IE worked, too!

I thought my issues may have been due to some local caching of pages or something, but the IE that I used was on a different PC. Maybe it had something to do with IH2, which was installed to my site prior to lightbox.

At any rate, both Lightbox and IH2 seem to be working perfectly.

The only Lightbox issue I now have is that "NEXT" is displayed when only one product image is available. Clicking on it gives the "PREV" link, as if a second image has been displayed, but it's the same, single product image.

Thanks for a nice looking mod!

This should be possible to implement (as it only invloves a simply CSS alteration). I can hopefully add this to the list of features for v1.6.

Wouldn't it be nice to have an admin switch to control this? I think so! :P

Glad you've got this sorted.

You may have noticed that quite a few people are running into problems with the install.sql code at the moment.

Don't worry, I'm working on a fix.

Thanks for posting your solution. :smile:

Good to hear things are working.

Do you have a link to your site?

You should be running the install.sql code via your Zen Cart Admin (as per the installation instructions).

Running the code via phpMyAdmin is fine, but only if you manually update your table names (if you use prefixes).

Try running the code via your Zen Cart Admin and see what happens.


Hi Ameet,

You've got a few errors on your site. I recommend that you fix these. Try installing Firefox and using the FireBug addon to locate the problems.

An existing contribution that's installed may be causing a conflict with Zen Lightbox here.

Can you list all the contributions you have installed please?

Thanks,

Alex



How did you run this SQL code? Via your Zen Cart Admin or phpMyAdmin?

The jscript_zen_lightbox.php file should not be placed on the root. It is required only if you need to use the lightbox effect on extra pages. Please check the readme.html file for more information.


Yes, this should be possible.

Try setting up an EZ-Page with a link to an external image.

It should work... but I've not tried it yet! :P

Axzion asks:
In the readme file it says:
Upload the entire contents of the includes folder to your server, again keeping the file structure intact. (Note: All files make use of the overrides system.) -
There is no mention, what I can see, about the jscript-file, what to do with it and in which case.
So I assumed that "jscript_zen_lightbox.php" should be installed in the root.

Is the "jscript_zen_lightbox.php", unneccessary perhaps, unless EZ-pages are installed?

As to the install.sql, I used the Admin panel, tried both uploading the install.sql and pasting it into the window. (3-4 attempts)

Installed (copied) all other files to appropriate places.

Is it possible that my Aglozone templates on my site (www.finasmycken.se) cause this? (www.algozone.com)

Cool to know where I failed, for the sake of curiosity.

Hi Axzion,

The jscript_zen_lightbox.php file is not to be installed in the root. It is intended to be used on additional pages (i.e. contact_us, shippinginfo, etc) where you require the lightbox functionality. Please check the readme.html file for more information regarding this.

A few other people have also asked me about the required location and/or use of this file. As a result, this file will be moved to a different location for the v1.6 release. Just to avoid confusion! :cool:

If you PM my you Zen Cart Admin details I can logon and attempt to fix this issue with being unable to run the install.sql code.

Your template could be causing problems. It's best to check that the template and Zen Lightbox do not have any file conflicts. If they do you will need to merge both files together.

It should be fairly simple to copy the Zen Lightbox code into your template files as it's all been comented, like below.

Code:

---

// bof Zen Lightbox 2008-12-11 aclarke

---

Obviously the date may be different. However, you should still be able to easily find the relevant bits of code.

Regards,

Alex

First off, amazing mod! Just finished the install and it works like a dream. However, I'm also having this problem:

Also, I hope this isn't a repeat question but I was wanting to add a site graphic to the top of the lightbox. I searched the thread, but didn't feel like reading every page.

Is this controlled via the CSS file or ??

Do you have a link to your website?

If so, post it here (or PM it to me) and I'll take a look.

Also, what type of graphic are you trying to add? It may be possible to do this via CSS, but I'm not 100% sure.
