I concur. Is there any any to make changes to this add-on to limit either the width and or height without changing the aspect ratio of the image?

Install Image Handler.. Lightbox mod is a display enhancement mod, not an image manager.. It won't help you optimize images, it only enhances their DISPLAY. Image Handler does JUST what you are asking about and it's got specific instructions for installing it with Lightbox (which it works PERFECTLY with)

and with even installing IH3 the images would be better if kept at a minimum like 1000x1000 max and low kb too

be kind to your server...lol

I agree.. In addition to installing Image Handler, better to teach your client to re-size his images BEFORE uploading them. However, this line of discussion is now OFFICIALLY off topic for the Lighbox support thread.. Any additional questions on this should be posted in a new seperate thread..

thanks - if there were no solutions I was just going to add some php code that called mogrify (i'm running on a linux box) and reduced the size of the uploaded images. I've done it before for vbulletin before they came out with their own resize (based on my code) but I'll have a look - thanks so much!

Hello,

Is it ok for the contents of the stylesheet_zen_lightbox.css to be copied over to stylesheet.css? Or doing so will cause problems?
Just trying to reduce http requests and speed the site up a bit :)

Best Regards

No reason at all.. I'd add it to the end..

Thank you

Hi guys.

I'm installing lightbox in 1.5.0.

I followed the readme.html, changed what was asked to change and uploaded the folders.
Now, when I try to execute the SQL patch, the error appears:

"WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again."

What can be wrong?

SOLVED

There was an error in install.sql.

I ran the script in phpmyadmin and the error was clear, there wasn't a table "configuration_group". Neither the rest of the tables in that script.
They were all missing the "zen_" prefix.
Changed it and ran it and it worked.

Not an error in the install.sql file.. This issue was where you ran it..

If you had used the SQL installer in your store's admin (Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches) to run the install.sql file (and NOT phpMyAdmin) you would not have had this issue..

(plus if this was an issue in the install.sql file, a LOT MORE folks would be reporting the problem..)
