I visited your site using the link you provided in your original post. I tested it on this product and this product using Chrome 14, Firefox 6, and Internet Explorer 9.

When I click on the main product image, the lightbox functioned as expected, however it is not handling your additional images. Additional images are currently being handled via default ZC functionality. Do you want ZLB to handle your additional images? (this functionalitly is optional, and set via a switch in the admin).

If you do indeed want the lighbox to handle your additional images, please check the following:

• Admin>Configuration>Zen Lightbox> Include Main Image in Gallery - should be set to "true"
• Make sure you're using the correct ZC image file naming protocol, as referenced in this tutorial.

Lastly, when you say ZLB doesn't appear to work on your live server....what do you mean exactly? Please describe, in detail, the issue you are having if the above information doesn't resolve your issue.

Got a couple of issues:
http://www.live4hope.org/index.php?m...define_gallery
Gallery page doesn't exist.

http://www.live4hope.org/gallery/
You can see the gallery here, but the lightbox effect doesn't work and the captions do not show.

I'm sure I have not installed it correctly but have tried everything I can think of to fix it to no avail. Please advise :)

Just installed on two of my sites, and this mod rocks the house! Super easy install, and works perfectly right out of the gate. Huge thank you to the developers!

I just installed zen_lightbox_1.6.2 on Zencart ver 1.3.8.a. It installed without problems and I see all the parameters in Admin->Configuration->Zen Lightbox but when I click on an image on a product page the image is simply shown on a new page.
Example here:

http://www.u s c o n v e r t e r s.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=337

click on the left image and it will open in a new window, not a lightbox.
Any ideas what went wrong??

check to see that all the files got uploaded to their proper places, I would reup them as I check just to make sure.

Thanks for the suggestion, I checked and reuploaded but still no joy.
Any help is much appreciated.

Do you have any other image related add-ons installed?

There are several addons but none image related.

ok, I finally got this working. Found out I had to add the rel="lightbox" to each image link for it to work.

i just installed ZLB on my site and it's work fine... but there is small problem ... my product page look like this :-

http://www12.0zz0.com/2011/10/08/05/666987633.jpg

after i upload = tpl_modules_main_product_image.php
the product page is not as it was ???

http://www12.0zz0.com/2011/10/08/06/252678210.jpg

what should i do to make it look as it is ... and make the main image work fine with the mod ??

you can check that on my site => www.srokey.info

I looked at this in Firefox, IE, Chrome, and Safari. They all looked the same - like you wanted it to look.

It appears you solved your own issue. If you're seeing something different when you look at it, that's a whole other issue unrelated to this mod.

Good luck and happy zenning :smile:

Looks like he solved it by uninstalling Lightbox.

Thank you for your replay :smile: ,But i didn't solve it yet. I only didn't replace my [ tpl_modules_main_product_image.php ] with the one come with the mod.
that's why i posted my [ tpl_modules_main_product_image.php ] contains so any one can tell me where to add the ZLB cod for this file in my file.

Ok, so is the issue a layout issue of the product page (as indicated by your screen shots in your initial post), or is the issue one of the lightbox not functioning correctly.

If it's a function issue, please list the specific issue you are experiencing, what you've done so far to troubleshoot it, and provide a link to the exact page where the problem exists

He's having a layout issue. If you check this product:

http://srokey.info/blackberry-storm-...ked-p-148.html

You'll see that the main image isn't using Lightbox, but Lightbox is working fine on the secondary images. That's because he went back to the original tpl_modules_main_product_image.php because the one that came with the mod messed up the layout.

Personally, I think it's just a matter of editing the file that comes with the mod in order to correct the layout.

Yes, It's exactly as you say man.
I need some one to tell me how i can edit [ tpl_modules_main_product_image.php ] to don't miss my product layout.
when i upload the [ tpl_modules_main_product_image.php ] that comes with the mod it miss my layout and let the main image work in the mod as it should.
But if i didn't change it my product layout still as it is now but the main image not work with the mod.
So i need to make the main image work with the mod while keeping my product layout.

Actually, his lightbox isn't working on any of his images because it's not fully installed.

The functionality you see with the additional images zooming on mouseover is a function of the Image Handler mod - not this mod.

Hi Thunder,

Although ZLB has changed the way your product page layout appears, your issue is really a page layout issue, rather than a ZLB support issue.

To ensure support of a general layout issue (even one caused by a mod), it is best to ask your question in the page layout section of the forum.

Although someone in this ZLB support thread may choose to provide assistance, they will be able to more easily do so if you reinstall the ZLB file that you've removed: tpl_modules_main_product_image.php

The kind of issue you're having is a really good example of why it's necessary to compare and merge common files before installing a mod.

By that I mean...any file that comes with a mod that has a duplicate in your store which you've already customized for function or layout (such as tpl_modules_main_product_image.php)... the mod file and your own customized file need to be compared to one another and their changes merged together into a single new file, so that changes from both files are saved.

Good luck and happy Zenning :smile:

If you click the images they are using ZLB.

Hi client is not using images so I wish to uninstall lightbox .. havent been able to find any instructions on how to do this. I know there is an uninstall sql but not really sure whether do this from my php my admin or from zen cart admin and not completely sure how to do it. Thanks for any instructions

Yes, but since ZLB isn't properly/fully installed (the common file has been replaced by his original), ZLB is not handling his images - Image Handler is handling is images and is responsible for the zoom effect on mouseover.

ZLB is not working at all on his site and will not work on his site until he properly installs it (replaces the file he removed).

Only once ZLB is properly/fully installed on his site will anyone be able to troubleshoot his layout issue.

Hi Amanda,

The first thing you need to do is find out what version of Zen Lightbox your client is using...as the uninstall sql will be version specific.

Next, visit the ZLB page of the community addon section of the forum. There you will see a list of ZLB versions, each with its own download link.

The versions are listed in chronological order, starting with the most recent version at the top. If your client is using an older version, scroll down until you find it.

Use the download link to grab the installation package zip file. The uninstall sql file will be in that package.

You can run the uninstall.sql either from the store admin or from phpMyAdmin. Some sites (including my own) have had trouble with this mod's sql files properly installing/uninstalling from the store admin and have had to run the file from phpMyAdmin.

If you know how and feel comfortable usingphpMyAdmin, I recommend doing it that way to avoid any snags.

Once you've run the uninstall sql file, simply delete the ZLB files. To know which files are the ZLB files, have a look at the Read_Me file that comes with the download pack.

Or - just read the Read_Me and follow the installation instructions in reverse :smile:

Hi I am using the latest version of light box 1.6.2 and had some difficulty installing it due to the fact that after following advice on forum about putting a prefix before database tables for added security I had to ring up my server provider and they walked me through it. Now my client does not want any product images and I am trying to uninstall lightbox but of course I am getting the same error message

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'uninstall.sql' at line 1

As there are only 2 lines in the uninstall file

DELETE FROM `configuration` WHERE `configuration_key` LIKE 'ZEN_LIGHTBOX_%';
DELETE FROM `configuration_group` WHERE `configuration_group_title` = 'Zen Lightbox';

I thought that there may be an easy way to insert the table prefix like this

DELETE FROM `???_configuration` WHERE `configuration_key` LIKE 'ZEN_LIGHTBOX_%';
DELETE FROM `???_configuration_group` WHERE `configuration_group_title` = 'Zen Lightbox';

but am a bit nervous about executing that command and would like your expert opinions.

yes, Thant is right if you make prefix then you need to add it when you want to uninstall.
It 'll work fine if you do it

If you inserted a database prefix upon installation, then you must insert the exact same database prefeix upon uninstallation.

I don't know if your ??? are replacements for the prefix name you used, or if you literally mean to use ???.

The answer is, don't use ???. Use the exact same prefix you used to install when you uninstall.

I have my blog embedded using the Numinix method, which (more or less) makes "blog" a page on zen cart. I want to include this page with the pages that use the Zen Lightbox module, so I copied jscript_zen_lightbox.php into includes/modules/pages/blog. It didn't work.

I know that it is naive to expect that it would be that simple, but I gave it a shot. Am I on the right track? Has anyone done this successfully? Do I need to add markup to my image links inside the blog to get this to respond? Any feedback will be appreciated.

this technique should work for you

That worked. Much, much thanks.

I installed Zen Lightbox v1.6.2 and it seems to be working properly in Firefox, but in IE, the light box randomly works and opens the image to the left, without the lightbox effect and I am also not able to close the image when this happens. Please help, thank you

Hi ricangem,

Please provide the following so we can help you troubleshoot your issue:

• What versions of FF and IE are you testing on?
• What about Chrome and Safari? Have you tested there?
• If yes, what are the results?
• Please provide a link to the exact page that's having the issue. (Don't just post a link to your home page and make us search through your site - because we won't) :smile:

Firefox: 6.0.2
Internet Explorer: 8.0.6001.191541c
No, I haven't checked on chrome or safari
I'm sorry but I am not allowed to post the website. I will provide you with a screen shot, hopefully that can help :(

This is how some images show when enlarged. See how the picture is in the far top left and a blank white screen around it:

http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/...hitescreen.jpg

If u need anymore info, please let me know. Thank you! :smile:

If we can't visit your site to review the code and test the page to see if we can recreate the issue and to see what happens when we do recreate it, then we're not able to help you.

The best anyone can offer without seeing the site is a guess.

Here's my best guess - try turning on compatibility mode in IE.

Good luck to you :smile:

Guess I am gonna have to uninstall this great mod :frusty:

Hello everyone,

I currently use Zen Lightbox on my site..... and it works perfectly!

My question is this....Is there any way to use this mod to play embedded YouTube videos on my site.

It's easy to create a link to the youtube video or do a standard embed but I really like the way the lightbox presents images and would like to apply that same presentation to videos.

Any comments or input are appreciated.

Thank you.

If you told the person in charge of your store why you need to post the link they might not mind, you can post it with spaces to make it non active and then get the help you need.

Hi all,
I installed the lightbox but now when I click on an image it does nothing....

presently using: v1.3.9h (clean install)

I haven't installed addons, but I have put some jquery code on the home page.

any help would be appreciated.

what does the other jquery deal with?
if this is a purchased template then yes it probably is conflicting with the query stuff the template creators installed.

If this is the classic template edited your own way then try moving the other jquery stuff out of the folder and testing it that way

Thanks for the reply the main_page is using jquery.easing.1.3.js
and calling from the homepage folder.( Its just a basic slidebox.)

I removed it completely and still no joy.

yes it is the classic temp but not much has changed at all?

depending on the complexity of your slider there is a slider mod available here that I use for our store so that might be something to look at but

are you sure you uploaded all the files to their proper folders and installed the sql through your stores admin section?

I will double check that all the files went up.

ok all fixed, not sure why but i uploaded all again and its ok now! Thanks again...

happens to me a lot, for some odd reason even if uploaded one at a time there may be a hiccup in the internet and it gets corrupted


glad it worked out

Hi just thought I'd ask. Is there support for this mod and the switch attribute image mod? currently they both work but if you switch the image via attribute selection the old pop up window comes up. If this was already addressed could someone redirect me, thanks.

switch attribute image mod?

more specific please---the actual name of the mod is helpful to get better assistance

Absolutely, I think it's the longest named mod in the add-on section. The link is below.

aha, never even noticed this one or really understand what it is supposed to do.

Have you tried comparing its files with those of the lightbox to see if you can merge them together.

You should note that the plugin is listed for ZC 1.3.7 and hasn't been updated since 2008. I would proceed with caution :)

Well I had the attribute mod installed before I installed lightbox, and it works fine. Lightbox was extra easy to install and it works good too, I just want to know how to get them to work together.

I uploaded the files to install lightbox as directed. Then, when I went to phpMyAdmin to run the install.sql, I got an error message that it couldn't find the table configuration_group. I tried renaming to zen_configuration_group, as that is how it showed in the database, but that did not work.
I ran the script from the Zen Cart admin and somehow I have 7 Zen Lightbox options to choose from if I go to the Configuration menu in the Admin.
The main problem is my home page for my store is now gone. Completely gone.
I uninstalled the Lightbox files and folders and of course, my page is still gone.
I have no idea what I've done or how to fix it.
The URL is www.orchidfreak.com/store. I am using Zen Cart version 1.3.9h and lightbox version 1.6.
Can anyone help me please?
Just shy of panicking here.........

@tsheridan

do you still have index.php in the root of /store?
did you happen to make any backups before starting the installation?

daniel

Yes, index.php is still in the root. I had a backup and completely reloaded the entire store directory.....no luck.
What about the install script that I ran through the admin? Could that be messing me up somehow?

are you still able to get to your admin area?

Yes, I can get to the admin area, and yes I ran the uninstall script which removed all the occurrences of Zen Lightbox in the configuration menu, however I still have no store home page.

very strage. did you have a backup of your DB as well?

No, I didn't back it up separately, but it still seems to be there, if I log in to the myPHPAdmin.

I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Unfortunately, I deleted all the files & folders for the lightbox via FTP, as opposed to running the uninstall script, because I didn't even realize it was there, so I don't know if that messed anything up, however the home page was gone, after uploading the folders via FTP, prior to running the install script.

Initially I tried to install via the myPHPAdmin, however I got that error message, so then ran the script through the Admin directly in Zen Cart.

Does this maybe provide any more info about what happened, so that someone might be able to tell me how to fix it?

you did right removing via ftp...when uninstalling the script only takes out the coding you still manually need to remove files.

have you tested with the default template to see if store reappears?

if it does then compare folders and see what was taken from the templates folder that is in the default template folder.

Hi,

Hope someone can help me. Using Zen cart 1.3.9h, Zen Lightbox 1.6.2. I followed the instructions to the letter, first installed upgrade sql (upgraded from 1.5), then deleted files individually from back end, re-uploaded the new files, however when I try to view my product pics (www.shadow.craftwiseonline.co.uk), instead of opening the pictures with Lightbox, it opens the picture in a blank screen. I then tried the uninstall sql and again install sql, checked site in IE, Chrome and Firefox, same problem in all. I have been through a large part of this thread but could not see anything that could help.

In Admin Zen Light Box has been set to True, can you possibly help to fix this please?

Here's what I would try next:

Completely uninstall ZLB

• run the uninstall script
• delete all the ZLB files
• manually check your db for any instances of ZLB and remove them if found
• Remove or replace any old Flash by-pass code from your template files, if applicable

Then, do a new fresh install of ZLB 1.6.2

Did someone fudge something up with the latest upload? I have a clean install of ZC1.3.9h.

this has been discussed many times, here is one of the pages

Fantastico installations seem to add this prefix, but that is not the standard with installation files download from this website.

from the dist-configure.php file:

PHP Code:

define('DB_PREFIX', ''); // prefix for database table names -- preferred to be left empty

Zen Cart v1.3.9h
Zen Lightbox v1.6.2

I've been trudging along building a site for the last 3 days and being dumb I've just been going along loading the site in Chrome.
So today I go and test it with Firefox and no images are showing at all! Not even the thumbnails.
It's been doing fine in Chrome, working perfectly.
In Opera hit or miss depending on box.

PC-1
Windows7
Firefox v7.0.1 - Nogo, nothing
Opera v11.52 - No Picts, but have frames
IE8 - Works
Chrome - Works

Linux Box
Chrome - Works
Firefox v3.6.17 - Nogo, nothing
Opera v11.0 - Works

PC-2
WinXPsp3
Firefox v8.0 - Nogo, nothing

I've searched for a half hour, going to go for a walk and clear out the gray matter... *SIGH*...

first off you will get better help with posting a link so we can see what you see and test things out.

secondly---should have been first--- this is most likely NOT a lightbox thing...especially since you said it has been working right in the one browser....but have you any other mods installed?

You may need to uninstall everything and go back to just the bare store...do them all one at a time ---then test in each browser before going to the next mod.

worst case is that it is not the mods but something in the actual browsers.

Hi,
I have uploaded and installed zen lightbox. Now I am wondering how it works. Not sure. Could anyone give me a clue or point me to a tutorial thread.
Thanks,
Nick

1. go to admin/configuration/zen lightbox and make sure it is turned on with the settings( IF I recall it is automatically done)

2. now go to the store, any product description page and click on the main image

it should open into the blacked ot window with the image dead center for viewing larger one.

that is it, if they don't open up into the "shut off the lights" type of window then it is not uploaded right...come back with link to your site for help

also before I forget again...READ the readme file included in the zip---the ENTIRE read me.

Thanks for replying. Question: do you upload ALL the files or just the 3 php files.

Thanks,
Nick

What are you looking at that you are only able to see 3 php files? The download pack has well over 20 files that need to be uploaded. There are 4 files that do not need to be uploaded (the Read_Me and the 3 sql files).

Either you're not looking through the download pack thoroughly, or your download got corrupted and is missing a ton of files. Also, did you read the installation instructions in the Read_Me file?

From the Read_Me:
To install Zen Lightbox follow the steps below.

1. Download the latest version of Zen Lightbox from: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=273

2. Extract the contents (of zen_lightbox-v1.6.2b1-20110123.zip) to a temporary location, keeping the file structure intact. (Note: If you can't open this file try using 7-Zip, it's free!)

3. Rename the following folders to match your template folder name.

• includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER
• includes\modules\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER
• includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER

4. Upload the entire contents of the includes folder and the images folder to your server, again keeping the file structure intact. (Note: All files make use of the overrides system.)

****If you're not familiar with the override system, you need to read up on it before you install this or any other mod!!

Understanding the Override System
The Override System Really Simplified

5. Open phpMyAdmin for your site and navigate to your database. Choose 'Import' and then 'choose file' and navigate to and select install.sql then choose 'Go'.

Alternative to step 5. If you do not have access to phpMyAdmin you can alternatively run the install.sql file (Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches) in your Zen Cart admin. (Note: It's best to copy and paste the contents of install.sql into the text area and then press the send button.)

Zen Lightbox is now installed and ready to use!

You can configure various settings from the Zen Cart admin (Admin > Configuration > Zen Lightbox).

Thanks for the quick reply! Finally got back to it last night, and I think
that is was a bad import on my part.
The only other mod that I have installed is Apsona Site Admin that I'm
using for importing/exporting.
I believe I messed up when I went to do a quick import of 6 items
and I was copying from the .CSV file into Apsona.
I had a typo in the pathnames for the images. It appears that those 6
may have cause something to choke with the browsers.
I exported all 226 items and verified the images field and then performed an import/update
on just that table, and all the display probs are gone.
""/operator error"" I should have sat back and done a re-think before posting.

Zen Lightbox is working great, and the client really liked this method of displaying
multiple images.

Thanks again,
_mr

LOL operator error --- that culprit hits my house too and first I panic and sometimes come here then stop and think...thinking gets me into trouble though so try not to do it often.

glad it got straitened out for you but remember always post link to store so we can help even better.

Hi everyone,

Having a bit of a problem with Lightbox.

I had no problems adding the files or running the script and the actual Lightbox works correctly, however I don't have an option for Zen Lightbox in my admin panel!

As far as I can see it should be under Admin - Configuration - Zen Lightbox but there's nothing there?

I'm actually looking for a way to display captions when using additional images and stumbled across the admin settings being missing, if anyone can help with either of my problems it would be hugely appreciated!

I'm using:
- Zen Cart v1.5.0RC2
- Zen Lightbox v1.6

Sorry my site is using local server at the moment so I don't have a link!

Cheers
Josh

Don't suppose you also have any idea if it's possible to use captions with additional images on product pages?

Do you have Firebug installed in Firefox? If so, remove it. It causes problems with image handling add-ons.

UM I think 1.50 RC is still pretty much a beta and might put up a fight.

Why not start your store with the latest 1.3.9h stable version until 1.50 is done totally?

Will it be OK to downgrade back to 1.3.9h?

I'm not 100% sure why I chose the beta download to be honest, think I was a bit eager to get started!

ZC 1.50 did away with admin/includes/boxes, so any mods using them will not function properly until those mods are appropriately updated.

Here is a list of mods that work with 1.5



Info about 1.50 beta (to see what's changed)
Info about 1.50 Release Candidate versions

There is a release candidate version of 1.50. If you're going to use 1.50, make sure you're using the RC rather than the beta.

I would not attempt to "downgrade". If you want to use 139h, do a complete uninstall of 150 and a fresh install of 139h.

If you need your store to be up and running sooner rather than later and want to use a lot of mods (or mods that aren't updated yet), recommend you install 139h with the mods of your choice, and once all the mods are updated to work with 150, you can upgrade at that time.

They are using RC2.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I think I'll leave it on 1.5 for the minute and have a mess around to see if I can get the captions to work (even if it means just throwing the info I need straight onto the pictures) Then hopefully an update to the plugin will arrive at some point.

Cheers guys!

Hi there, I just installed Zen Lightbox in one of my customer sites then I got this...

http://www.casademotores.com/sitio/i...&products_id=7

I reuploaded all the files many times.

Any ideas?

Add-ons installed relative to images:

My guess would be the references to 3 versions of jQuery:
1.6 (commented out)
1.5.2
and 1.4.4 (that zlb uses)

The commented one were from an unsucessfull test installation of colorbox module, already uninstalled.
The 1.5.2 version is from Additional Images Rollover module.
The 1.4.4 is from Zen lightbox.

Actually I deleted the 1.5.2 file for testing purpose and the problem is still there.

Greetings.

the color box mod---did it install a .js file? If so have you tried removing it too.

I have these:
jscript/jquery-1.4.4.min.js -- LB
jscript/jscript_easySlider.js -- Easy Slider
jscript/jscript_imagehover.js -- IH3
jscript/jscript_jquery.js -- IH3

jscript/jscript_mootools-1.3.js -- this one I think was from a previous version of LB that did not get removed but it seems to place nice and not give trouble.

Yes, I did it.
I installed another lightbox version that uses mootools library, then the zen lightbox is working fine but now I had to close the image twice, Its obvious that one screen is from simple lightbox and the other is from zen lightbox. Looks like zen lightbox was having troubles finding slimbox libraries. I manage the code to open just one screen, I know this is kind of lazy patching(not solving the problem actually, just hiding it) but I am on a hurry with this page. Maybe on next store I try to fing a better solution.

Thank you all for your replies.

another idea...try uninstalling the second one for a bit.

when you installed LB and IH3....which one did you install first?

I think it is the additional_images.php found in includes/modules/your-templates folder

upload it to replace the one you have up there -- use the one from the LB zip and NOT the one from IH3

They work together but sometimes this file needs to be uploaded again.

remember use the one from LB

Using ZC 1.3.8a and just installed (updated) Zen Lightbox to version 1.5 Upgrade did not resolve my issue:

I updated lightbox after noticing the popup images were not displaying on Firefox or Chrome (Mac). All works fine on Safari. And the lightbox effect itself works fine otherwise (overlay and resizing, etc.) There is simply NO IMAGE loading -- just a blank white box.

I do not know when this issue started; only noticed it today after upgrading my Stock by Attributes mod -- so I do not know whether there is a conflict there somehow.

when you upgraded did you uninstall the files and sql so you could install the new version?

was the issue present before you upgraded the other mod

I would also upgrade to store 1.3.9h--more secure from hackers that caused many stores to be suspended by the hosting provider due to scams and hacking.

mow that said, I just went there with my old macintosh still using an extremely old browser---Firefox and the images loaded, but then on my newer pc with updated Firefox I get no image.

wondering if you have considered using 1.6.2+ of LB instead too since it did away with the mootools.js

I would try upgrading both store and lightbox and remember to uninstall all files/sql to the lightbox before uploading the new files.

Make sure you read the read-me to ensure you get everything done before upgrading.

Do you know whether LB 1.6.2 would work with ZC 1.3.8a?

it should but your best bet is to upgrade your stores software before you HAVE to due to hacker and being suspended from your host...I have had to fix stores becasue of this problem and trust me tis harder to do so later than to upgrade now.

Thanks, DarkAngel. I totally agree but am in the middle of adding holiday items with client so was hoping to fix the LB problem (that I didn't realize existed). I guess I'll pull an all-nighter and just go for it.

take your time and read the read me thoroughly about 1.3.9h...total new animal there so all files are basically rewritten for security.

with holidays and all I can see why you are pressed but better to take time now than to yank hair out later...lol

Yes, it works fine. I've tested it in 1.38, 1.39h, and 1.50 RC2.

To clarify this for those new to ZLB:

It is not entirely true that this mod "works fine" with 1.50 RC2. Although the mod will function...the user will be unable to access the configuration settings in the admin until the mod is updated (as is true for all mods that have admin accessible settings).

If a user is upgrading to ZC 1.50 and already has the current version of ZLB installed, then their previous settings will be carried over during the upgrade...so they are less likely to notice until such a time as they wish to change the settings and find them gone.

But those doing a new install of ZLB in ZC 1.50 (or an upgrade of a lower version of ZLB in ZC 1.50) will not be able to access and configure the mod to their liking. New or upgrading users will be forced to use ZLB with it's default configuration settings until this mod is updated for use with 1.50

Although the mod will function appropriately in ZC 1.50, in my mind, the level of functionality the user is left with is not the same as "works fine", because users will be unable access configuration settings through the admin.

Until this mod has been updated to work with 1.50, the following settings will be inaccessible for customization through the admin:

Zen Lightbox
Overlay Opacity
Overlay Fade Duration
Resize Duration
Resize Transition
Initial Width
Initial Height
Image Fade Duration
Caption Animation Duration
Display Image Counter
Close on Image Click false Info
Close on Overlay Click
Always show Prev / Next
Keyboard Navigation
Close Lightbox
Previous Image
Next Image
Gallery Mode
Include Main Image in Gallery

The reason this information is important is because some of the most common or popular customizations folks make to this mod are done so through these settings. Knowing the mod's limitations with 1.50 in advance can save folks a lot of time and trouble.


Important Note: The mod author is working on updating ZLB to include all of the fixes mentioned in this thread over the last several months. His update will work perfectly for ZC 139h.

Hopefully, he will also make a separate version that is updated to accommodate ZC 1.50 (as mods updated for ZC 1.50 won't have backward compatibility for ZC 139h and lower)

It is not entirely true that this mod "works fine" with 1.50 RC2. Although the mod will function...the user will be unable to access the configuration settings in the admin until the mod is updated

Correct, and I should have noted that. My apologies for not doing so.

No worries :smile: I just wanted to clarify the details for those new to ZC and/or to this mod so that they would have realistic expectations and not be surprised when they install the current version on 1.50 :smile:
