Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

Further to http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=2703

here is my solution to move the Prev/Next buttons clear above image and then restore truncated bottom of image.

includes\classes\zen_lightbox\autoload_default.php
Line 23 was

<?php if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_CLOSE_IMAGE == 'true' || ZEN_LIGHTBOX_PREV_NEXT == 'true') { echo '<style> #lbPrevLink, #lbNextLink {display: block; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 63px; height:32px!important; outline: none;} #lbNextLink {right: 0; background: transparent url(images/zen_lightbox/nextlabel.gif) no-repeat 100% 15%;} #lbPrevLink {left: 0; background: transparent url(images/zen_lightbox/prevlabel.gif) no-repeat 0 15%; } </style>';}?>

now (note the minus sign)

<?php if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_CLOSE_IMAGE == 'true' || ZEN_LIGHTBOX_PREV_NEXT == 'true') { echo '<style> #lbPrevLink, #lbNextLink {display: block; position: absolute; top: -32px; width: 63px; height:32px!important; outline: none;} #lbNextLink {right: 0; background: transparent url(images/zen_lightbox/nextlabel.gif) no-repeat 100% 15%;} #lbPrevLink {left: 0; background: transparent url(images/zen_lightbox/prevlabel.gif) no-repeat 0 15%; } </style>';}?>


includes\templates\YourTemplate\css\stylesheet_zen_lightbox.css
was

#lbImage {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
border: 10px solid #fff;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

#lbPrevLink, #lbNextLink {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 50%;
outline: none;
}

now

#lbImage {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 22px; /* 0 */ /* May need to be increased to 32px to clear border thickness, if coloured differently. */
border: 10px solid #fff;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-bottom:12px; /* added to restore bottom of image */
}

#lbPrevLink, #lbNextLink {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: -32px; /* 0 */ /* Note the minus sign */
width: 50%;
outline: none;
}

Hope this helps.

I just uploaded zen lightbox and am having issues with getting it to run. I've uploaded the files to the correct places. I've created the custom folders. I wasn't able to copy and paste the sql files for some reason (I never have been able to do that), but I did have my server guy install the sql patch directly. Zen Lightbox is showing up under my Configuration in zen admin, but when I click on it I get taken to a blank page that states Zen Lightbox at the top, but no install options. What went wrong?

Disregard. Apparently, nothing further has to be done. I just clicked on some images and they come up in the lightbox. Should have checked sooner. I just didn't expect it to be that simple.

Sorry but if you see nothing on that config page then i think there is still something wrong, even if it is working.

I would go to the server and manually check each and every folder to ensure all go loaded into the right spot.

Once the files have been uploaded and the sql installed then you should see its settings page...to change colors and such if you want to match your template and to turn it on.

a link also is always helpful to getting even better knowledged peeps in here

Hi,

If you want to manage multiple language support for Zen Lightbox I made some changes in code.

Feel free to use the following attachment.

Of course, you need to duplicate all english directories of the module in the same place with the correct language name you use.
In the new language directories, make changes as necessary (texts and images).

Files changes:

includes\classes\zen_lightbox\autoload_default.php
includes\templates\template_default\common\html_header.php

***********
* WARNING *
***********

html_header.php come from v1.3.9h (I haven't test it because I still use a previous zen-cart version)

If you still use a previous zen-cart version, do not use html_header.php included in the attachment, but you can just add the folowing code in the file includes\templates\template_default\common\html_header.php like you can see in the attachment:

<?php
/**
* load all template-specific stylesheets, named like "style*.php", alphabetically
*/
$directory_array = $template->get_template_part($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'css'), '/^style/', '.php');
while(list ($key, $value) = each($directory_array)) {
$tmpcssdyn = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--'."\n";
$tmpcssdyn .= 'document.writeln(\'<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'css') . '/' . $value . '?charset=' . CHARSET . '&language=' . $_SESSION['language'] . '" />\');'."\n";
$tmpcssdyn .= '//--></script>'."\n";
echo $tmpcssdyn;
}

File deleted:

includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER\css\stylesheet_zen_lightbox.css

File added:

includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER\css\stylesheet_zen_lightbox.php


Enjoy ;)

not sure what you mean there... en francais?! ;)

thanks for the contribution ... I have installed your mod but as a result no window will open at all, all languages the same issue (have now reverted to the previous status)

Does the html_header change to make has to be in the template_default? can it not be in my shop template (YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER)?

merci!

You are right pukram.. Dunno if this code works, but I do know that this SHOULD be an override.

NEVER NEVER NEVER make modifications to ANY FILE in the "template_default" folder..

Yes, you right !!! It's my first contribution, and I forgot this recomendation because I do this in my development. Sorry about it !
So You have to put html_header.php in includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER\common\html_header.php

I'm sorry I leave this version for 1.3.9h without testing. It should work but I don't have time to install 1.3.9h and test it.

I would like to fix my previous post but I can't edit it.

I too had problems upgrading from 1.5 to 1.6.2 with the upgrade script, error message stated something along the lines of DUPLICATE_KEY PREV_SOMETHING.....
To resolve this I simply ran the uninstall script from 1.5 and then the install script from 1.6.2.

Hope that's helped somebody!
