Hi, I have problem with the previous next buttons.
They only appear when you hover your mouse over them.
I would like to see buttons permanently,I guess it is not something complicated,but my knowledge is not enough to do it. :frusty:
Thank you in advance for your help!
Zen cart - v1.3.8a
Zen lightbox - v1.5
Hopefully someone cane help me - I installed lightbox, changed the names of the template folders like in the instructions, installed the SQL, configured it all in admin - but it doesn't work! When I click on one of my images it just enlarges the picture - it doesn't even popup!
here is the site in question http://www.shop.bella-bijou.com
thanks in advance

I personally spent two agonizing days and nights over the lightbox until I could prove that it was the template with jquery javascripting that was conflicting with the lightbox.....I'm now back to the template people to find a solution.....as they had modified jquery code so much that even the jquery lightbox didn't work.....
Of course there are those who just don't follow the install instructions...for them there is no hope...especially if english is not their first language.....
I totally agree. With some of the paid templates that have altered the jquery code...they charge you to fix it which is silly but that is life.Quote:

If I were the creator (which have not seen him about in a long time) I would look into it too. Bear in mind too that some addons use the same files as the store and other addons so it is always best to open the addon zip and compare file names with both the store software and other addons you have installed and to merge documents when possible....I usually set a ~ the the end of the file name of one that is getting overwritten, just in case for it is easier to delete the offending file and remve the tilde to get things back than to do other measures.

trouble with popups...do you mean they do not show the little hover popup or that the main popup (the one that also is not working in lightbox) is the one giving you trouble.Quote:

By popup I mean that when I click on an image, it opens large, so that the whole page is just white background, and the image, and you have to hit the back button on your browser to get back to the item description. This is rather than the larger view image popping up in a new window.
I am using the Modern Zen template.
well shoot, and when you go to admin/tools/IH2 you see what you are supposed to see there...nothing missing or error messages....and can upload images right?Quote:
