I am very new to this, I have just installed light box and it is working great, but my issue is with the gallery
How do I link the images together so you can scroll through them?
Sorry if this has been asked before but could not find the answer
thanks
I've installed the module and run the sql query but the Lightbox menu in Admin -> Configuration is not showing up. Lightbox functionality is working on my site, but it's just not configurable in the admin panel. If anyone has run into this problem, please let me know how you fixed it.
I'm running version 1.3.9a
Never seen that before. On most of the installs I have done it shows as the last menu option in the configuration menu. Never tried it on 1.3.9a specifically, but 1.3.9h (the current) it works fine.Quote:

Could it be because my installation of zen cart is in a directory other than the root? My installation is in www.mermagica.com/store... wouldn't think this would come into play, but I'm not sure.

Did you run the install in phpMyAdmin or in the ZC admin area?
You could run the uninstall.sql file (preferably in phpMyAdmin) and then re-run the install.sql (preferably in phpMyAdmin) file and see if that helps.
Not sure where the issue could be coming from as the sub directory shouldn't be a problem as far as I know.
Daniel
Generally you just need gallery mode enabled in the ZLB admin area.Quote:

If joe.davila did indeed install the ZLB script from phpMyAdmin, I suggest running the uninstall from phpMyAdmin (to remove the errant entries from his DB) and then go to Admin > Tools > Install SQL Packages and copy and past the contents of the ZLB install.sql file there and re-run the install script this way. ZLB should then show up in the Admin > Configuration menu.
Since I upgraded from 1.5 to 1.6 my lightbox no longer works on custom pages. Obviously somehting to do with my html. When I was using 1.5, this worked well:
<a href="http://www.silkblooms.co.uk/map%20coverage.jpg" rel="lightbox"
<img border="2" src="http://www.silkblooms.co.uk/map%20coverage.jpg" width="300" height="301"></a>
Now I'm just seeing a blank where the image used to be.... What should I change it to now?
as suspected, dodgy html.... should have been:
<a href="http://www.silkblooms.co.uk/map%20coverage.jpg" rel="lightbox">
<img border="2" src="http://www.silkblooms.co.uk/map%20coverage.jpg" width="300" height="301"></a>
Hi folk,
I'm redoing my retail site. I've installed both Fast & Easy Checkout and Zen Lightbox. Both install the file jquery-1.4.4.min.js
Zen Lightbox puts it into includes/templates/MyTemplate/jscript/
FEC puts it into includes/templates/MyTemplate/jscript/jquery/
My editor says the files are identical. Can I remove one of them? If so, which one?
Thanks,
Rob
I wouldn't remove either, because the code will still be looking for it.Quote:

daniel
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, making that edit simply prevents Zen Lightbox from doing its thing. The larger image opens in a new page -- no lightbox effect and not even the standard pop-up.
I was just trying to be tidy. I'll leave both files where they are.

Back in this post, I made note of potential problems when jQuery is loaded more than once, such as with ZLB. Although I wasn't aware that other modules also load jQuery when the module is used, the problem is still easily solved.
Setup jQuery to be loaded all the time.
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript_1jQuery.js
jQuery must load before any scripts to be used with it. As Linux will list alphabetically and thus, Zen Cart will load alphabetically, I've had to use a naming schema like: jscript_1jquery.js in order to have a correct a load sequence.
Now that jQuery is loaded globally, it does not does not need to be loaded again. I've already described, in this post, how to disable ZLB from loading jQuery and the same applies to any other module. Unfortunately, I don't know what file FEC uses to load jQuery so you will have to find it. Odds are though, it uses an 'echo' or 'require' in one of its PHP files and using // will comment out that line.
Also, once you've commented out other modules from loading jQuery, you do not have to upload their jQuery file. This also allows you to determine what version of jQuery you want to use. Some of the newer jQuery stuff requires the newer version but usually, older jQuery scripts will still work with the newer version.
What would cause the image to open the image location when clicked and not open the image with the lightbox effect?
I have double checked the download - all files are correctly placed, I did this on a test site and it works fine but getting the above on a clients live site.
Any Ideas?
Would need a URL to see what you see.
I have it turned on in Admin , dso they have to be named the same but with the _1, _2 etc..Quote:

Yes, they do. Zen Lightbox follows the same file naming/file structure protocol that Zen Cart does. Here's a tutorial on the subject.Quote:

just a thought…
It is the same on my test site, maybe looking at the test site you will see something different. Test site
O.K. so I disabled the Minify so that it does not combine and compress the css/js files as suggested but still no change.
I'm really at a loss. I deleted that one file we talked about earlier on one of my test sites and I ended up with the same scenario you have.Quote:

I am also at a loss here. I have installed this mod on thousands of sites and never had this issue. The min file is great for compressing files & in the same manner it is easily disabled via admin. It is enabled an test site and all works fine. was enabled now disabled on client site and still no lightbox. I don't know.

Hello Everyone.
I'm a very new user to Zencart, but after reading what lightbox can do, I thought it sounded great and decided to download the file.
I fear I may have completely installed both lightbox & imagehandler incorrectly.
First problem. The readme instructions ask me to rename some files. Problem is I don't know what my "template" is anymore! I have both cherry_zen and Cherry Zen 1.8 showing up in my files. Is there any way to determine which I'm actually using?
2) When I upload the includes & image folder to my server, do the files need to go directly into the zencart folder on my server? I initially had dropped them into the zencart folder itself, but wasn't sure if that was wrong.
3) Although I can see that lightbox is somewhat working on my website, there are glitches?
- The box size around my images doesn't match up (see link here - http://beautifulexpressions.hwyman.c...products_id=11
- When I added a page to my ezpage - I thought that it was supposed to get a lightbox, but it isn't.
http://beautifulexpressions.hwyman.c...page=page&id=7
Lastly, If someone could please explain how I can use lightbox to create some sort of an image gallery it would be greatly appreciated.
Please forgive me for so many seemingly 'silly' questions, but I'm really that new to all of this! I did backup my site before starting, so hopefully I haven't gone and screwed anything up.
Thanks again!
:smile:
in admin go to the tools tab and choose template manager?? something like that, it will show you the template you are currently usingQuote:

like the includes may have a classes folder inside, then you grab the contents of that classes fodler and put them on your server in the exact same folder includes/classes/put your files in there
hope that did not confuse you more---I am best at confusion
you probably want to put them into the images folder---if you have your store files loose then yes but if you hae your store file iin another fodler then they will go into it like store/images you will se it right above the includes folderQuote:
I initially had dropped them into the zencart folder itself, but wasn't sure if that was wrong.
when I clicked on the image of the airplanes there -- the image came up in the lightbox effect so it is working right. if you mean that sort of drop shadow around your image...that may be the way it is coded in the template...apple zen template has many different features to it and that drop shadow is an image not something in the stylesheet file.Quote:

There is a code in the readme tht you can add to your ez-pages where you add the image so you can get the lightbox effect there, I think.
Lastly, If someone could please explain how I can use lightbox to create some sort of an image gallery it would be greatly appreciated.
the best thing you did was backup the store before doing anything...yay you. Keep that up and anytime you get worse problems you will be able to revert back should there not be a fix.Quote:

Thanks for the reply :)
I have figured out which template I'm using now which is great.
As for the ez pages. The read-me file mentions that it should work as soon as it's installed?
"EZ-Pages
By default the lightbox effect will be applied to all links that point to images on your EZ-Pages. This functionality can easily be modified via the admin."
So I simply pasted the link to an image on my website in the ez pages area;
<img src="http://www.beautifulexpressions.hwyman.com/images/161520.jpg">
I was hoping that the image in the ez page would magically get the lightbox qualities, but no such luck.
What am I missing?
Although the images on the product page do have the lightobox attributes, the box size has gone wacky on me. The words "larger image" has shifted down, and it isn't centered anymore either?
Help :D
EZ page functionality doesn't work immediately on install, Daniel is working on fixing that in the next release. In the meantime, here's a work-around:Quote:

Regarding your issue with the product image and the "larger image" text being wacky, I'm not sure I can help you with that. Sounds like the template/display is being thrown off by a conflict between the actual image size vs. the image size set in your image settings....Code:<a href="http://www.beautifulexpressions.hwyman.com/images/161520.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://www.beautifulexpressions.hwyman.com/images/161520.jpg"></a>
Thank you ScriptJunkie,
You're a scholar and a saint :)
The last method you described appears to have worked. I kind of thought that when I clicked on the image, it would expand to a larger one though. It seems like when I click on the pictures now they show up smaller? Any clue where I can change this setting, or does it simply have to do with the original size of the uploaded picture?
Essentially I'd like to have small previews that they can click on and then see the larger image.
I'd also love to make a gallery where they can scroll thru the pictures. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
Thanks again :) Zencart forums are fantastic! :clap:
Thank you, but I can't take credit :) I just recall having read somewhere on the thread another person had that issue, so I searched for it until I found the solution is all :)Quote:

Also, you need to follow the image file naming protocol for zen cart. For example:
Main Image: flower.jpg
Additional product images: flower_01.jpg, flower_02.jpg, etc
Re: Lightbox making images smaller instead of larger - you're absolutely right - it should make them larger than the main product image.
Assuming you're not also using any other image modifying addons, There are a few ways to accomplish this.
Method 1:
Change
toCode:<a href="http://www.beautifulexpressions.hwyman.com/images/161520.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://www.beautifulexpressions.hwyman.com/images/161520.jpg"></a>
Naturally, you'll adjust the width and height size to whatever size you want your thumbnails to be...I just put in 125 and 125 as an example.Code:<a href="http://www.beautifulexpressions.hwyman.com/images/161520.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://www.beautifulexpressions.hwyman.com/images/161520.jpg" width="125" height="125"></a>
Method 2
Another way to accomplish this is to use the zen cart image size folders and suffixes. Tutorial
For example, let's say you want thumbnails on the ez page to be 125z125...you take your image (already sized to 125z125) and name it myImage_MED.jpg and put it in the images/medium folder. Then let's say you want the larger image for the lightbox to be 600x600. You take your image (already sized to 600x600) and name it myImage_LRG.jpg and put it in your images/large folder.
Then, you would write your URL for the ez page like this:
Method 3Code:<a href="http://www.beautifulexpressions.hwyman.com/images/large/myImage (or in your case161520).jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="http://www.beautifulexpressions.hwyman.com/images/medium/myImage (or in your case161520).jpg"></a>
Lastly, IMHO, the best way to accomplish this is to also install ImageHandler2, because this allows you to use one size image per product (plus any additional images like image_01, image_02, etc). You take the largest image you have for a product (the one you want in the lightbox), and simply upload it to the main images folder. Then use the settings in the IH2 mod to resize the images for you. This way, you don't have to manually create three different sized images per product (large for the light box, medium for your thumbnails and main product image, and small for sideboxes, etc).
If you install IH2, then the first method I gave you (the one that now incorrectly returns smaller images in the light box rather than larger images) will work correctly.
Hope this helps :)
ok, I don't think that would make a difference of how the image was added---either html or by the html editor you have in the store...I usually add the images to other pages with the editor and just click the buttonQuote:

that should get you the image--sized and where you want it to be--left, right, center and the lightbox. Just remember to adjust the width, height and align to suit your needs
Hi Just installed this on my test site and when I have secondary images should it show next and prev buttons ??
It shows that the main image is 1of2 but no way to see next image is there some other process I need to do to activate this>>

DOH worked it out the next button only appears when you hover on image and is not visible on loadQuote:

multi-worded image titles and the "image x of y" both wrap without extending across the full width of the image, especially with relatively narrow images;
the Close X button is located immediately below right of the image and seems to be the cause of the wrap.
The prefered layout, from top to bottom, is:
image
image title
"image x of y"
Next, Prev, Close X.
where
multi-worded image titles and "image x of y" both extend across the full width of the image before wrapping;
the Next and Prev and Close X buttons all lie on one line at the bottom of the lightbox.
After spending many hours trying to achieve this layout, mostly toying with the css, I would appreciate some help, if not a solution.
Thanks in advance.

I'm seeing this in the source code on the success page after submitting a review.
It is in the link to the larger image, or the zen_lightbox and to the left of the image but part of the whole link.
It is obviously written wrong, (see code after blank line space below) but where would I edit this and should I? All my files match the stock files, according to winmergeCode:[product_number]">
Code:<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
document.write('<a href="images/large/STS-CKC001_LRG.jpg" rel="lightbox-g" title="Deluxe Cart<br /><span class=\"smallText\">[STS-CKC001]

<img src="images/medium/STS-CKC001_MED.jpg" alt="Deluxe Cart [STS-CKC001]" title=" Deluxe Cart [STS-CKC001] " width="240" height="240" /><br /><span class="imgLink">larger image</span></a>');
//--></script>
I'm sorry...i dont' mean that it is obviously written wrong...but the "> looks out of place to me.
i took zen lightbox off a test sight and the problem went away.
the only changes I did to the lightbox were to remove two letters from a bracket of code, can't recall why from a post here, from slimbox.phpCode:;w([I,d,g,G]).hide()}function
OK...just re downloaded new files and re installed everything and it is still happening:
here is a screen shot.

thank you so much...i just implemented your post while you were posting and it WORKS!
hours and hours....i don't mean to sound ungrateful but that is a lot of time on some known error. installing this mod and un installing it on two sites all day...what a wast of time....
just did not know what to search for...tried different things with snippets of the code...and I'm reading through so many mod threads it is hard to keep track of what i know or don't know....
thanks again...
I do stand in awe that any of you take these mod designs on.....i've been at zencart for many years and have learned a lot...but still have to be on my guard about versions of pages used to make them vs my current version etc....lots to consider for a novice coder.
Glad it worked for you. I'm not the originator of the ZLB, I just took on updating it when it fell apart for the chrome updates. So old problems like this I'm just taking them on as they come up. No way I can (or have time) to comb thru this whole forum looking for other problems to try and fix.Quote:

Since I prefer to have the product name intact and am not experiencing the issue to begin with, I simply put the code back in.Quote:

nine hours...that is what i spent researching this problem IN THIS THREAD and in testing. and is not because i assumed it was the mod, but my own error and I don't have that kind of time. I'm not paid for this.Quote:

the guy in the post Willy, did not offer a screen shot like i took the trouble to do and did not describe what he was seeing at all. I don't know how Daniel figured out what he was talking about unless a pm was involved.
A link to the site produces nothing because the problem only occurs when you are logged on as a customer, after clicking the submit button on a review.
I never post without a follow up when the solution is found....or fail to own my errors.
This was not my error. It was the mods...and my trust in the mod, and my assumption it was my issue alone, cost me a day and a morning of my life.
That bit of ignorance of yours being exposed, you are right. It has removed the product name from the image, so is not a perfect fix.
Okay, well, looks like I'm a little late to the party, I just installed this, but I can't get the image resize to work. the configuration notes say:Quote:

250x250 is too small to be useful for me, but I can't get it to go any bigger.
How big is your image? Can you post a link?Quote:

From 400x400 To 250x250 (your current size). it doesnt scale your images up for you. You'd have to do that yourself and then re-upload them
As you can see from the attached screenshot, there isn't any "resize animations" parameter available, so I can't set it to true.Quote:

your lightbox will only put up the size you originally upload. you want the one in the light box to get bigger then upload the prefrred size...the store software [ admin>iconfiguration>images] will dictate the size seen in the store...then lightbox will open the original size in its own prefs.
all of my images run form 400-1000xwhatever so redo your main images to the size you want---reupload them with the exact same name and the software will do its thing
And as has been pointed out by niestudio and DarkAngel, in order for the image to display at a size larger than 250x250, the image you upload must be larger than these dimensions. ZLB will not enlarge your images.Quote:

- One of the frustrations of open source software is that there is often a learning curve and a whole lot of DIY. However, this is also one of its greatest blessings, because you learn as you go - and nobody was ever harmed by learning something new.
- If you had to pay for zen cart software, you could count on paying at least a few hundred bucks. Then add anywhere from 15-150 per mod, depending on complexity, and you could easily spend thousands. My site would likely have cost me 1500 bucks or more, plus labor - if not for zen cart and the kind people in the zen cart community.
You have to balance out the time you spend with the money you spend. Want it free? Spend a lot of time. Want it fast? Spend a lot of money.
You just can't have it both ways chica, and a little gratitude goes a long way when people are providing free software and free support :smile:
I know it probably sounds like I'm chewing you out, but I'm not. Just trying to help you avoid making the same mistake that so many folks who are new to zen cart make: getting testy on the forum because they're frustrated and then having their requests for help ignored because nobody wants to help someone with an attitude.
So let's be friends and not get into a pi$$ing match over it :smile:
that is not me you are talking about...but this is someone with a problem: attacking someone who is doing their best to communicate their processes to help benefit the community and assuming they are just wasting everyone's time but their own. your assumptions were cruel and unjustified of someone who has posted as many pleas for help as you have. You feel my frustration...right.Quote:

I've just downloaded Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 and under this new browser, Lightbox doesn't seem to work.
Have anybody else noticed this ?
Kim
no idea this was happening goo you brought it up and if you are using image handler also then go to its support thread becasue there is a fix there for it...has to do with the .js file it has.Quote:

I'm running zencart version 1.3.9h and I was using lightbox version 1.5 then I upgraded to version 1.6 and the EZ-Pages stopped showing me the lightbox effect on photos and images I would like to show a larger view of.
Did everything by the book, added the jscript_zen_lightbox to the appropriate folder but no lightbox display.
Any help would be appreciated.
Check out this image, something that has been supposedly fixed before version 1.5 of the lightbox, still shows up on my site.
If anyone can fix this you would make my day as I'm very picky about things and this is driving me crazy :censored:

This error only shows up when a model# is inserted and it only appears after clicking on "read the reviews" on the description page. If you continue to "write a review" it's gone again.
Thanks for any help in advance.
before you upgraded...did you remember to run the uninstall script and remove the files form your server and then upload the new ones?Quote:

Thanks for the code fix but after you remove that string, the name of the product on the bottom of the lightbox disappears.
Any ideas for that particular issue?
Thank you.
Yes I did....I didn't skip one step, in fact it took some time to remove all the old files.....Quote:

Any ideas?......Thank you.

Hi, thanks for your help.
I had a look at the link you gave and checked that I did indeed have a prefix defined (zen_) as per the link.
So I made the changes suggested and applied the patch through the Admin which partly worked. However I got 4 errors and the following text:

I also now have 4 entries for Zen Lightbox on the Admin configuration menu! None of which appear to do anything!!!
This is now starting to get messy and I am worried about breaking something. I have backups so can recover if required but would rather not have to if it can be avoided. Any further help much appreciated.
Just tried it again, but this time applying it via phpMyAdmin, and it has worked! :D
However, i now have FIVE 'Zen Lightbox' entries on the Admin Config Menu, of which the 1st 4 are non functional!
Is there an easy way to remove these, or should I just live with them?
The best way to avoid this error is to NOT run the install script via phpMyAdmin, but to open the install.sql file and copy/paste it into the form on the Tools > Install SQL Patches from the shop admin.. This will properly add the table pre-fixes to the script as it runs.

Yes.. If you try to UPLOAD the file you may experience errors.. But if you open the file and copy and paste the contents instead it will run with no problems..Quote:

if so then you have to add the bit of code for it when you post it in the description:
you of course change the size shown and alignment to your liking but this will give it thelightbox when clicked. You will also have to add the line to click image to view larger but doing it this way you just need the full grouwn image, thecoding will resize it to view prior to clicking for larger view.Code:<a href="http://aquafinatic.com/images/Compatibility Chart Mini.jpg" rel="lightbox"><<img width="375" vspace="10" height="164" border="0" align="left" src="http://aquafinatic.com/images/Compatibility Chart Mini.jpg" ></a>
I would also get into the habit of NOT using caps and spaces in the image names...like conpatibility_chart.jpg would be just right too

but now I did it thru store admin and it worked like a charm...but there are some that do not still so kind of hit and miss.
the code had too many << in it here is the right one and it is for within body and expages:Quote:

Caps are fine in filenames. I use caps as a way to help make my filenames more readable for example: redTennisShoes.jpgQuote:

Is that possible?
Thanks.

I've looked into my zen_configuration and found that the error might be there. I just don't know how to correct it. Have a look at the attached file. Thanks in advance.

We were just talking about this a few posts back yesterday..
DON'T run this script using phpMyAdmin.. Here's what I posted yesterday about installing this script.
