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!

Try changing the 'Always show Prev / Next' setting in your admin

Jepp! :bigups:
Why didn't I think of that... :blush:

But I'd like it both ways!
How could I achieve that?

Also, a different question:
How can I add caption to my images?
Like in this shop?

change your css file to look like this:

Code:

---

#lbPrevLink {
        left: 0;
        background: transparent url(../images/zen_lightbox/prevlabel.gif) no-repeat 0 15%;

}

#lbPrevLink:hover {
}

#lbNextLink {
        right: 0;
        background: transparent url(../images/zen_lightbox/nextlabel.gif) no-repeat 100% 15%;
}

#lbNextLink:hover {
       
}

no caption support built in right now

Thanks a million mate!:clap:
-Kind of obvious now...:blush:

That caption-thing is a pity though!
How do that other shop achieve this? They are also using an ordinary lightbox what I can see?...

There is actually a caption of sorts, it shows your product name, but in order to have custom captions for each image they'd have to be entered in the database somewhere. Right now your additional images are just uploaded to the server with the proper suffixes and with no additional database info needed. Not sure where the custom captions would come from.

thoughts?

Yes I know what you mean.
There is a mod I looked into, but I found the idea to fetch the caption from a text-file even more complicated to handle, then adding text to the picture directly...

I guess for this to be practical, it would have to be done directly in admin - add new product.
Having the possibility of adding additional images with a string "caption" connected to the img file, written to the database...

Even better if we could fetch the information directly from the img file! Exif?... :p

Sorry, I'm not in that league... :cool:

me either :)

maybe you could suggest option 1 to the zen cart team for future updates

I'm using this mod and it works great and I preloaded my customers images for him, now he's been at it updating products and is loading HUGE images that are sometimes 2000 x 3000 pixels and he's complaining that the images are too big to see ... 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.

:clap:

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..)

I did ran it first in the store's admin, but the error returned didn't help, as I told earlier.

phpMyAdmin was my second choice, but provided more info about the error. At least this time I knew what was wrong and changed whatever was needed.

And if you are running the install in phpMyAdmin, you WOULD need to add the table prefix..

The Zen Cart log file would have told you EXACTLY what went wrong in your SQL install.. (along with the error message an error log is created)

Bottomline is that for a normal install (running hte SQL from the store admin) adding the table prefix is not necessary..

I just installed this after upgrading to 1.50 but the next/prev buttons would not work, and the config panel was missing quite a few options. I have a fresh zen-cart, but using my old DB. My solution was to run the uninstall SQL and then rund the install (instead of just the upgrade, as my previous lightbox settings was still in the old db). Could be worth mentioning in the readme!

I have had lightbox installed on my site for a while and it worked beautifully but recently I re-installed my template and the pictures are not working right. Only a white bar shows. I looked in my admin and it lists zen lightbox twice. Clicking on the second on comes up empty but I am not sure where to find what is causing the duplicate (which I am thinking must be the cause of the images not showing) listing in my admin.

Any thoughts?

polishpotterystore .com/shopping

I upgraded and it seems to be working now, HOWEVER, there is no CLOSE button anymore. Should this be there or did I perhaps miss something?

Sorry if this has been asked could not find the answer
I have uploaded additional images on my products i.e

pick_01,pick_02 etc..And light box is showing them great -my question is there a way that each image has its own text
At the moment it shows the Product name on each picture, I would like to have different text, is that possible?

Examples

thanks

Hi I have scanned this tread and tried a couple things that have been mentioned but still stuck.
Hope someone can help!

1. I have the first image showing twice can I stop this?
2. How do I set the maximum size, some images are huge and way too big!

Thanks I have image handler 3 installed too.

Cheers
:dontgetit

Thanks, I'm a bit off a novice so it is prob something silly.
if you look in downlights you'll see a product, and the first 4 images are the same. I am currently trying to rearrange the layout of the product page so there is double of everything but this was happening before I started this so I dont think it is because of that.
Thanks!!

Your edits to the product details page CANNOT be ruled out as part of the issue.. and it's gonna be hard to troubleshoot what's going on with this add-on when your products details page is a MESS, and as a result all of your additional images are not showing up.. (I only see 2 of what should be SIX images displayed..)

Suggest rolling back your edits and get this page to a state where the only changes are those related to this mod or IH3 (don't remember off the TOP of my head if either of the add-ons make changes directly to the product details page) It wil then be easier to get a sense of what's going on on your site..

I think the error lies in your template somewhere.
if you view the source for your page and scroll thru, you'll see that the contents of your page are doubled up. You have two full <!--bof Main Product Image --> sections and 2 full <!--bof Reviews_Tab sc3--> sections.
Most of your extra images are coming in the reviews tab, but you are not seeing them on the page because you have css hiding them.

And going back to your ORIGINAL question.. your issues have really NOTHING to do with the Zen Lightbox mod..:no: I suggest you start a new thread and ask your questions there as they are all related to the edits you've made to your product details page and are NOT a result of the Zen Lightbox add-on at all..

BTW, your second question can be answer by simply reading through the Image Handler3 readme..

No, this is not a currently supported feature

Thanks for your help, and taking the time to look. I see I have a lot to learn still :blush:

Having a user moment here ... :blush:

Is there a way to have it NOT open the products_image but only open the Additional images? :unsure:

you could restore /includes/templates/[your-template]/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php with the original

this will take the main image back to the javascript new window popup, but the additional images will still have the lightbox applied

if you wanted it to not even popup that way then I guess you'd have to mod that same file to remove the link from the image

Unfortunately, the way this Admin does his pictures is the main products_image is small and the Additional Images are huge ...

To run this with Lightbox, the additional images are masked with the css so only the "medium" image shows which is the small products_image slightly enlarged ... then click that image to have lightbox display the images and additional images ... but this brings up a small 125x92 image first, the main products_image, then the additional images which are usually around 400x400 to 600x600 ...

So, lightbox is great on all the additional images but not so great for the first image ...

in admin have you tried not setting it to gallery mode with having the main image included?

I have no clue if that would work since I use it with main image+additional

does the first additional image have a consistent suffix
image_001 or image_med for ALL images?
if so, maybe you could hard code the main product image file and concat that suffix onto the image name it's linking to therefore bypassing the actual "main" image

How do you know that your Javascript turned off? I successfully installed Zen Lightbox 1.6.3_1.5a for Zen Cart V 1.5.0, but I did not see images on my product infor mage move as well as additional images.

I can't figure out the reasons why. Please let me know how I can check to see if my Javascript is turned on or turned off.

Thanks

You can enable or disable Javascript in your browser. It is on by default. If you've never turned it off, chances are that it's on. But if you want to check, you will need to google "How to enable Javascript in ****". Replace the **** with the name of the browser and browser version you are using, since the steps are different for each browser.

For example, "How to enable Javascript in FireFox 10" or How to enable Javascript in Chrome 8", etc.

What concerns me more is that you are saying "...I did not see images on my product information page move as well as additional images". What do you mean by "move".

Zen Lightbox does not relocate your images, move them to a new spot on the page, or animate your images.

If what you are saying is that your additional images are not showing up in the lightbox, go to admin>configuration>Zen Lightbox and make sure you have gallery mode turned on.

If what you are saying is that none of your images is showing up in your lightbox, then more than likely you have an installation error.

What other mods are you running? Did you make sure there are no files shared between ZLB and your other mods that might have needed file merging?

There's just no way to really help you troubleshoot your issue without specific information about what the issue is, and a link to the exact page where the issue is occurring so we can see it.

You're using FaulSlimbox, not ZenLightbox

Any idea why my images are so large when you click on them?

the images you uploaded are around 1300px wide.
You can use an image manager like image handler 3 or you can just resize them to around 500px on your computer and then re-upload them.

image handler 3 dont work on 1.50 i am waiting for version 4

Even when IH4 comes out, I recommend that you always resize your images to the largest you want to use, before upload. Then let IH resize downward from there. I use the free irfanview for that, does a really great job at batch resizing. Also, it can simultaneously reduce the resolution or kb size of the images. I'd rather not have my server clogged with images larger than I need.

I just didn't understand why it was happening since I had already uninstall Fual Slimbox but the Prev and Next buttons was still not showing up in the Lightbox image.
Any way my fix is not pretty but it worked for me.

This is what I did:, (oh, the website I made is not a separate template but a combination of added modules and a lot of file editing of the default template that came with Zen Cart, so I don't know if this fix will work for everyone).

1. I made a new folder called called zen_lightbox and placed it here: includes/templates/classic/zen_lightbox
2. Inside the zen_lightbox folder I added the images that came with the Zen Lightbox addon. They were nextlabel.gif and prevlabel.gif.
3.Inside my css folder located at includes/templates/classic/css there was a file from the Fual Slimbox addon named stylesheet_slimbox_ex.css. Open this file up and add the following code:


#lbNextLink {
right: 0;
display: block;
width: 40px;
background: url(../images/zen_lightbox/nextlabel.gif) no-repeat right;
background-image: url(../images/zen_lightbox/nextlabel.gif)no-repeat right;
padding_left:40px;
margin-left:40px;
}


#lbPrevLink {
right: 0;
display: block;
width: 40px;
background: url(../images/zen_lightbox/prevlabel.gif) no-repeat left;
background-image: url(../images/zen_lightbox/prevlabel.gif)no-repeat left;
padding_left:40px;
margin-left:40px;
}





That's it, I refreshed my browser tested Lightbox out and it worked. Basically what I did was made the prev and next buttons show up on top of whatever div was blocking the other prev and next buttons from showing up.

I tried to explained this the best I could and I hope this will help those with a similar issue with Lightbox

---

Yes, it works, but I still have a problem with "Next" and "Previous" buttons.

The "Next" and "Previous" buttons displayed in the middle of the image. When I move the mouse to the "Next" or "Previous" buttons, the "Next" or "Previous" button moves to the top.

I don't know what is going on. Please give me some advice regarding this issue.

Thanks very much.

that tip is for an old version of zen lightbox.

The default behavior for the lightbox software is for the prev/next buttons to show up when you mouse over.
there is a setting in ZenLightbox where you can have the buttons show up all the time, did you try that?

Thank you very much. I forgot to turn "Always show "Prev/Next" buttons to TRUE in Cofiguration>Zen Lightbox setting. Now it works great.

Again, thanks very much.

Hi All,

I have another question regarding Additional Images.

For instance:

I have 5 images which named like this: a, a1, a2, a3, a4.

If I upload them to /images folder, Zen Lightbox can pull up the additional images.

If I upload them to the folder I created such as /images/homedecor, then Zen Lightbox cannot pull up additional images.

Please give me some tips and advices.

Thanks very much.

Hello,

My wife's site (http://dollargraphicsdepot.com) was upgraded over the weekend to 1.50 and the lightbox mod installed. It works great and is really slick on laptops, and desktops.

Unfortunately, it seems to have issues on iPhones and iPads. If I zoom in to see detail on the picture, the image is snapped to the right and I miss most of the image. It's almost as if it has a fixed border on the left side.

Any thoughts on how to fix?

Thanks,
Bryan

That link has a get help section with a google group discussion on it.
Maybe someone there will have some insight.

In my case the default behavior for the lightbox is set to show all the time.
The "Next" and "Prev" still do not show up until you mouse over them.
Is there anything else we can look for?

Since, in our situation, we need these to be on all the time, can the code be set to leave them on no matter what? (Just an idea.)

Note that I have tried every combination that I can think of with the "Close on Image Click" and "Close on Overlay Click" with no luck. The Next/Prev buttons still only appear when moused over.

Can you post a link to the site?

Ive got a similar problem and when I view the site in firefox I cant see the Close option to close the image, yet when i view it in safari I can see the close button ok, how can I make it appear in firefox, thank you

Please post a link to the site.
It's nearly impossible to troubleshoot without it.

you should post a link to your site too as well as make sure all files were uploaded to your server.

what version of cart are you using and what version of lightbox too

Sorry about the delay.

http://www.mythreejewelz.com

To the best of my knowledge all files have been uploaded.
The add-on works great except for the prev/next not sticking.
The zip package is marked zen_lightbox_1-6-3_1-5a.
I'm able to replicate this behavior on the site itself (mythreejewelz.com) and on my local/test system.
Note that they were independent installations, not cloned one to the other.

Thanks for any advice you can send my way.

ok, went to your store and is this a purchased template? First time seeing the additional images at the top of the page vs the bottom of description page.

I tried the one on http://www.mythreejewelz.com/index.p...&products_id=4

and the first image gives no lightbox, the other two do but they do not go from one to the other like they should, could you post your settings in admin?

OK, I finally figured it out.
the latest update to the ZLB plugin had a folder of images removed.
To "fix" it now:
Go to your download of ZLB and find the [includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_FOLDER/images/zen_lightbox]
upload that 'zen_lightbox' folder to your ftp server into '/images'

I'll try to get a new version uploaded shortly

Sorry, I was a bit tired when I wrote the fix and didn't explain it fully.

if you are using ZLB_1.6.3_1.5a
your download will have this:

(A) - [1_Installer_files/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE_FOLDER/images/zen_lightbox]

what you are missing is

(B) - [1_Installer_files/includes/images/zen_lightbox]

these two zen_lightbox folders would be identical, but they have different uses, so to fix your issue for now
take the zen_lightbox folder found in (A) and upload it to your ftp server in
[(store_root)/images]

once complete you should see you server like this
[(store_root)/images/zen_lightbox]

daniel

To verify, it appears that I am missing in (B) images/zen_lightbox - I do not have any images folder directly under includes
There is an images folder (with zen_lightbox) in the main folder of the unzip.

Thanks for noticing that, you can upload that zen_lightbox folder or the one from (A)
you just want to upload in into your images folder on your server

daniel

I guess what I am trying to state is that the images folder should have been in the (1) folder in the original zip.

The template is Avonlee_Contempo, a free offering from Picaflor-Azul. Anne did a great job modifying the page so that all images showed on the same line instead of having secondary location below the description. (A request from the store owner.)

I clicked on the link as you have it and was able to get the lightbox to work on all three images. Can you tell me your browser and any other information as to the time you could not get the first one to work. I'll try to duplicate and find the cause.

Be aware that the problem with the prev/next icons appeared before we modified the template to what you see.

Attachment 10390
These are the settings under lightbox.
Once again, all we are trying to do is get the next/prev buttons to stay obvious (not hide).

Thanks for your assistance. It still has me baffled.

Did you try the fix suggested this morning yet?

I've searched and searched but cannot find the right info for this and most of the posts are way too old anyway.
I'm using V1.5 zencart and IH4. I also have Lightbox installed and everything is working properly.
I want to have my images loop after the last one is displayed.
The next button drops off after the last image is displayed as normal.
I want the next button to continue to be displayed and the last image to wrap back to the first image.
Also previous button to display on first image and wrap back to the last image.
Essentially a continuous looping process for the previous and next buttons.
Has anyone posted a solutions for this that I could reference or are there any new simple solutions out there.
I tried Slimbox but it will not display more that one image at a time in Firefox and jumps out of Slimbox on additional images in IE.

there is no built in setting for it, but you can add it yourself manually.
edit [includes/classes/zen_lightbox/options.php]

add

PHP Code:

---

'loop:' . 'true, ' . 


---

after the FIRST echo line
it will look like this when you are done

PHP Code:

---

echo 
'loop:' . 'true, ' .
'overlayOpacity:' . ZEN_LIGHTBOX_OVERLAY_OPACITY .
',overlayFadeDuration:' . ZEN_LIGHTBOX_OVERLAY_FADE_DURATION .

I'm not sure I really understand your problem. I checked your site and the lightbox seems to be working fine.

This worked perfectly. Such a simple line of code too.
Thank you

I FOUND IT!

As I was following the remainder of the thread, advice was given to check that there were two copies of the next/prev icons.
I found one of the directories was empty. Copied files from the templates specific to the general directory and everything started to work as we need it to.

Thank you to all that tried to help.

Well, now what?
After installing IH4 and Lightbox, my image hover zoom no longer works on small images.
I was so wrapped up in testing the lightbox functionality that I missed this.
Any known cause or repair?

Yep. It is what sent me to look at the different directories and their contents.
Apparently I had the wrong permissions to the subdirectory. What I copied earlier did not make it and like others I was really tired so I did not notice.

Thank you for your time, knowledge, and assistance.
And thank you for the add-on update.
