Detailed instructions about this can be found in the Image Handler 3 Readme on the Misc tab.
I have had them both for quite a while, and they were both working fine. This is something that just happened recently. I haven't done any upgrades on anything in a while.

what browser are you using.
you could try reuploading all the files to your server---except the shared one with IH3
and finding out which version of Lightbox you have would be great too...do you still have the zip you installed it from?
been playing and found that you can access the admin using thisQuote:

All I get is a blank box when I click on the larger image link. Here's what it looks like. I think it may be version 1.5 because it was installed on 06/01/2010 according to my admin page.

Upgraded to the newest version, and it seems to be working. Many thanks!

However going forward in the Zen Cart v1.5 world, it is also not true that all mods which include an admin menu item (what was formerly part of admin/includes/boxes/filename.php) will NOTt be backwards compatible with v1.3.9. It TRULY depends on the module and how it was written to begin with. (Ceon URI Mapping Manager is a current example of one such mod as it IS backwards compatible with v1.3.9)
There are a few factors which play into whether or not a mod will be backwards compatible.. Not the least of which is changes to Zen Cart core files within the mod. If those core files are different between versions of Zen Cart, then it's possible (though also not necessarily true:wacko:) that the mod will not be backwards compatible..
So in the end whether or not this module with be one of the few mods that actually will be backwards compatible still remains to be seen. Not sure who's doing the updates at this point.. Seems like the original author has returned, but Daniel has done a tremendous amount of work as well keeping this mod together....
ahh ok....that clears it up then :smile: So it appears the short answer is...there's no quick and easy way for non-programming types (like me) to know whether or not a mod updated for 150 will have backward compatibility with lower versions - other than to install it and try it out....ugh :wacko:
Hopefully, mod writers/owners/contributors will be clear in their mod descriptions in the download area and also in their readme files to help prevent folks having to rely on the trial and error method.
Thanks for the explanation :hug:

Angel is right.. You are going to have to give up a WHOLE LOT MORE information.. This is a voluteer "helpline" so it helps the volunteers if you give as much information as possible so they don't have to guess.. and frankly so they don;t have to spend their free time trying to figure out how you have things setup..

Yes I uploaded all the files but not each folder seperately. I did exactly what I've read in the instructions. I copied after renaming my template, everything in the root dir.

5. create ---if not already there -- the folder in the correct spot for the one with your templates name then put the files form the zip into it
you do not place the entire folder from zip into the root of your store NOR do you upload the folder to the place that the exact same name folder lives either or you will overwrite the one existing there.
so if you did not place the files like above -- you will need to do so.
hope that helped and not confused you more
it didn't work. There's somethind odd going on. If I try to uninstall lightbox, when I click on the picture nothing happens. When lightbox is installed, it opens the picture but non in lightbox. Really frustrated!Quote:

If you're having a problem with the "larger image" functionality on the product description page....and don't have ZLB installed....then the problem lies with either your zen cart installation or some other mod that you're running.Quote:

If it does...then you have a problem with your cart installation and need to troubleshoot it.
Either way...this is not a Zen Lightbox support issue...so going forward...you will need to post on the general support board of the forum.
Good luck and happy Zenning :smile:
I have a new version working for ZC 1.5 RC3.
I don't want to post it in the wild here (to avoid added confusion), but feel free to PM me and I'll send you the link.

In admin, I have the resize transition set to true, but the animations don't work. What should I set this to, apart from true?
Here's a screenshot of the admin settings:

first off I think the version you are using should work for that version of the cart but I strongly urge you to upgrade to 1.3.9h...I have had many owners that have had their stores hacked and their hosting providers have suspended their accounts because of it.Quote:

I have no clue why your resize transition is set that way it should show you true or false, maybe setting it back to true might help
Tested in my 1.50 RC2 install, and works perfectly. :bigups:Quote:

I could probably solve the alignment issue with a bit of css play but I've set the resize transition to true and it doens't seem to do anything. The resize transitions are the only reason I'd consider upgrading our main site to the latest version. Is it a setting on one of the JS files perhaps?
Hi.
I'm not sure if this is the correct thread but I don't see where else to put my question... sorry.
I have installed Zencart 1.5RC3 with the default products loaded. It works fine, using the andover_modern template, inc. Admin. All is running on WAMP on my local machine - latest version.
I have tried to install Zen Lightbox v1.6.2. I am not getting admin>configuration>Zen Lightbox option appearing.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hello I installed the Zen Lightbox 1.6.2 on my ZC 1.3.9e and now when clicking on the image, I seem to get another image popping up underneath the displayed image.
In other words, I'll click the image, lightbox slides up and looks great. I can click next/prev and everything works fine, but when I click 'close', the light box closes, but there's another lightbox underneath showing the first image I clicked.
I messed around with a few different lightboxes for quite a while before getting this one to work properly, so it's possible I still have remnants of an old installation in there somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
:)

did the other lightboxes you installed have uninstallers that you can run to try to remedy it?Quote:

I manually deleted all of the install files that shipped with 1.5 so I think this must be a fragment from the files I was trying to install to get motools to work alongside 1.5. I've deleted these two files now:
/includes/templates/freetemplate2/jscript/zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js
and
/includes/templates/freetemplate2/jscript/zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js
It's working but the additional images are still offset to the left when enlarged and the transition effects still aren't working :)
Take a look now and see what you think. I'm getting this in the page source now but it's still not working:
PHP Code:<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/freetemplate2/jscript/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>

Tell me, is there a way to choose different transition effects? I'm thinking the one that's on there just now isn't good enough reason to upgrade our main site to the new version

ZenLightBox 1.6.3_1.5 is released on the add-ons page.
This is only a slight modification for Zen Cart 1.5 Users.
Zen Cart 1.3.x users should continue to use ZenLightBox 1.6.2
Daniel
P.S for the users that got this via PM from me, these files are the same and you don't need to re-download.
Thanks! I was going to ask that question.Quote:

Yes the controls do show in admin. I'm using a free zen cart template. The zen cart version is v1.3.9h and the zen lightbox is v1.6.2

maybe some code got left out??
Thanks for all your help. I can't find a cause or solution so it's best I uninstall at this time.
I didn't see the page while you had it up, but I don't see any other js files that would be conflicting.Quote:

If you are still seeing the admin panel, you should not need to re-run the install.zip file.
Version: v1.5.0
Installed Addons: dual_pricing__wholesale_pricing_1-8, hidden_wholesale_2-2 & minimum_order_1-2
Running on: WAMP Server with PHP 5
Hi there,
I've been setting up a demo wholesale site to test out modules and all going well so far. Wanted A lightbox addon and yours seemed to be the best. Followed the instructions to the letter.
Prolblem occured when running the SQL Script. If ran in Zen-Cert is errors and also when run direct in MySQL it also errors.
I have attached the failed run in MySQL as it gives more information on the error.
This is of course a fresh install and not an upgrade. I have downloaded the lastest version of the lightbox script from 'Zen-Cart' today.
I look forward to your reply.
Kind regards
Mark.
The error suggests that it's already installed.Quote:

Hi niestudio,
Many thanks for your reply.
I believe it may have been installed with a Template I was looking at.. This might of caused the issue.. but I do not have a light box menu.
When running the script in Zen-Cart I get the following message
"WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again."
Hope this helps and thanks for your advice so far.
Regards
Mark.
Hi there,
Quick update...
I believe it was installed with a theme from earlier today so...
I used the uninstall script that comes with lightbox and that ran fine which tells me it was already installed.
After that I re-ran the isntall SQL through Zen and that has gone in ok and now I have the light box menu in config.
However...
When clicking on the image.. the scroll bar in Firefor went a little nuts and I notices the images has appeared in the bottom left hand corner.. only the top right is showing so I guess this can be adjusted somewhere?
kind regards
Mark.
Sorry guys,
I forgot to add the attachment. (not sure how to attach it to a pre-submitted ticket)
That's a new one to me.Quote:

Hi niestudio,
Thats ok. I understand it would be good to see the code to troubleshoot the issue. I will be adding a few more elements to the system to make sure they all work together and then upload it online to get issues troubleshooted.
I will keep this thread posted. thank you so far for your help
Regards
Mark.
You can try just re-uploading the files to make sure they all got transferred.Quote:

Sorry if this has been covered before but I did try and search a bit and skimmed through a ton of pages....
Anyways, sure this is simple but when clicking on a picture and the lightbox comes up, is there a way to have when you click outside of the box it will close, instead of having to click the "close" button at the bottom?
Thanks!!
There is a 'close on overlay click' admin setting.Quote:

Hello, I installed the Zen Lightbox folder, checked the precence of all the files in the right directories and run the sql commands. Still I don't find the Admin > Configuration > Zen Lightbox option. Any clue what I'm doing wrong?
What version of zen cart, what version of zen lightbox?Quote:

I use Zen Cart 1.5.0 with an andover_modern template. The ZLB version is : 1.6.3_1.5.
At this moment Zen Cart operates on a local host in a Wamp test environment.
In the front end it doesn't do a thing. A new window opens when an image is enlarged, so no Zen light box is openend.
Not really sure where to tell you to start.Quote:

Changed the language from dutch to english and think i solved the problem :blush:.
Oops, the Zen Lightbox setting page is empty, and the front end still has not changed. I'm sure all the folders are renamed and the files are all copied.
try running the uninstall.sql command into your admin area and then re-run the install.sqlQuote:

Using the zencart "SQL patch" tool in admin kept giving errors of duplicate entry for configuration_key, but running it through phpMyAdmin worked.
And now I just get a new window when clicking on the image. Will try to trace the problem down.
Atleast I don't get any javascript errors.
This is a fresh 1.5.0 install with very light mods to templates, that shouldn't affect this.
Ok, now it's working. For some reason the jscript folder in the custom template was set to 700 permission, so it tried to load "includes/templates/template_default/jscript/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" which didn't exists.
All sorted now. Thanks for the great mod :)
Thanks for posting your findings, glad it's working for you now.Quote:

This is maybe not the most desirable place to post this but i contacted my host and here was the response, so i will have to look into this.
" We have just performed several speed tests on both dev.mysurplus.ca and nostik.ca and confirmed that both websites are loaded in around 3 seconds. However, the website at dev.mysrsplus.ca *appears* to take around 6-7 seconds to load because the Zen Cart system took 3-4 seconds to perform JavaScript executions after the page finishes loading. "
Managed to run the script in phpMyAdmin and that did the trick. The configuration stuff now is visible in the lightbox menu in Admin and the front end works as well. Very nice add on :clap:!

I.e. clicking in left/right part of the image should work as prev/next link, not only clicking the exact spot of the prev/next buttons.
I don't know if this is supposed to be the default behaviour or not?
I would appreciate if someone could please enlighten me!
