Hello,
I am using Zen-Cart 1.5 and Zen Lightbox v1.6.4_1.5. I've noticed with this version and previous versions that product images aren't always displaying. For some products, the product image displays fine. For other products, all I get is a white box with the product name below. Any suggestions as to what may be causing this?

a link to your store would be nice to have -- If we can see the store in action it gives us/you a better answer instead of guessing.Quote:

I have two questions I guess, in order to make sure I am doing this right, as I am new to installing add-ons and this seems like a great one. Especially as I hate the way the large images pop up in this huge window....this seems a way of controlling that in the nice lightboxes I have seen.
I am using one of picaflors templates, newport_eco.
First question is, when I upload the 1_install folder, I am assuming I am uploading it straight into my http://fourthperimetertactical.com/catalog folder? That that would be my admin folder as everything is underneath of it, the default naming convention I have seen used most.
And 2nd..when I go into my myphp database tool on my host and import the install.sql file, having the configuration group highlighted and not highlighted, I get this error:
Error
SQL query:

);
MySQL said: Documentation

If I copy and paste it into the sql tools in zen cart, I get a succesful window saying 5 statements processed. So I'm not sure if it is installed or not. It definitely isn't showing.....
Sorry for the noobish questions...this is my first delving into e-commerce and php and sql so am a bit nervous of cratering my whole website doing something dumb...(and yes it's all backed up).
This is incorrect. You do not upload the 1_install folder. You upload the CONTENTS. Further, not all contents go in to your admin folder.Quote:

Try again and see if things don't go better for you. Be patient with yourself and follow the documentation provided. You'll be an old pro in no time :)
Recommendation is to uninstall and then re-install using the instructions found in the readme file:
Download the latest version of Zen Lightbox from:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=273
Extract the contents (of zen_lightbox-v1.6.3_1.5-20111231.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!)
Open the 1_Installer_Files folder
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
Rename the following folder to match your admin folder
YOUR-ADMIN
Upload the entire CONTENTS of the 1_Installer_Files folder, includes folder and the images folder to your server, again keeping the file structure intact. (Note: All files make use of the overrides system.)
Open the 1_SQL folder and then open the install.sql file in a text editor (not microsoft word) and copy all of the text. Next go to (Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches) in your Zen Cart admin and paste the contents of install.sql into the text area and then press the send button.
Alternative to step 6. 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'.

don't worry about noob questions, we were all there at one time too. take your time, reup the files to their matching folders on your server and when you do/did the sql you should find it list near the bottom of the configuration list of items.
Not sure if this is the right place for this or not. I am having an issue with my additional images showing up. The box that pops up is in a perpetual loading screen.
I have fixed an error in a module which was causing a JavaScript error. And checked the settings on the lightbox. But it is still showing in a perpetual loading screen. Any other suggestions?
http://elsiesfinds.com/boutique/inde...products_id=45
It looks like just a 404 (file not found) error.
Did you check the images on your server to see if they are there?
Where did you see that error? I changed the address for the product. Try clicking on it again. I did just check and the images are there on the server.Quote:

I am not sure I am understanding what you mean in the last post. It should pop up when you click on an image, which in my case it does not. Any help would be appreciated.Quote:

Well, maybe this is an image handler issue then. I posted over there and they said that the lightbox was acting up and I should post it here. But from what you are telling me, it seems like an image handler issue. I will go post this over there as well. I posted the image in the default image box which should automatically resize it for both the large and and medium images. But it is not like it has with other IH versions. Thanks for your help.Quote:

If you have made certain all your files are install for the lightbox then it might be image handler but ...I don't think soQuote:

Picaflur makes beautiful templates much like you have and actually work with the modification mods offered for our stores.
Now that my rant has gotten out of my system...lol
Since you have image handler installed you should re-read its instructions again for how/where to put your images. IH does not use the LRG nor the MED folders and the naming of your images needs to be changed to reflect the main image as namewithoutspaces.jpg then each additional image labed with nameofimagewithoutspaces_01.jpg then continuing with the numbers until you have no more additional images for that product.
my explaining is really bad so that is why you need to read on the naming process in your read me for IH...whatever version you are using for 1.3.9h or 1.5.1
soorry can't be clearer tonight..cold meds are to blame
Not sure what you mean by "it is not like it has with other IH versions" because other than the installation being automated, scant little of IH's base functionality has changed at all..Quote:

So as Angel has suggested, I too suggest that you re-read the Image Handler and Lightbox readme files.. Pay particular attention to the sections in both readme documents which deal with installing ZLB and IH together.
Angel is right about your Template Monstrosity template. It too is a likely suspect in the issues you are having since they like to remove required code form Zen Cart files for no reason except their designers have no idea how to create beautiful templates the right way..
Not Image HandlerQuote:

In the Image Handler one in particular we go into a GREAT DEAL of detail on image naming and where to put your images..
WOW, that is a lot of great information. Thank you for taking the time to type all that out and explain it. I wish I had known that template monster was not the best choice but now that it is all done and it is too late for all that now (we are about to go live), I have no choice but to try and make this one work.
I will take your advice and go through the documentation for image handler again and double check everything is right. I hope that will fix it but I may be back. Sounds like it is user error. Thanks again for being so patient with me and helping me out with such great explanations.
I have checked my configurations and everything is set correctly. One thing is I do not see a directory to choose from when selecting a location for my images. all I see is what is below. Should I see a directory to choose from. My images are being uploaded to the images folder so I am not sure what else I can do. I think I am really missing the boat here. :/
Attachment 11612
And I never installed lightbox. I think it came with the template. So should I download it and try and re install it to make sure it was done correctly?

That said neither this support thread nor the Image Handler support thread are the right places to resolve your template issues. In my opinion you have a few options:
- Find another template and DITCH the Template Monstrosity template. There is no way in H*LL any of us can begin to GUESS what file they mucked up which is the source of your issues. Without seeing your site files we would be guessing. If you want to at least test my theory that your template is the problem, switch to the classic template and see if your problems go away.
- Prepare to roll up your sleeves and see if you can figure out which code the Template Monstrosity template botched that is messing with the lightbox and Image Handler. You'll need to replace that file with the clean Zen Cart version.
- Consider having a professional assist you with sorting through the issues you are having.
I totally agree, I would download one of the free ones from here and installit. the ones by pica flur are great, see this one that I installed for one of my clients so she could get rid of her monstrosity.
https://www.pennylanebridal.com.au/shop/
That one is their oxford dark template but they have many others and I think some with the color scheme you have...best of all they work right out of the box and you can still change the look as you go without intruding on the customers (usually a downtime where there are few coming in.)
Just remember to put any of your addons into their override (your template named folders) where they belong.
Then when you install a mod you won't have to yank your hair out trying to figure out what they did-- cause that is how they make their money...doing the "fixes" they know you will need to come back for.
I just installed this and all it did was make images open in the browser instead of a popup.
I followed the instructions right. Please help!
I reuploaded all the files and it worked.Quote:

A link would be helpful and what template are you using. Did you install the SQL for it, does it show in the admin section?Quote:

I think maybe your files went into a different spot than they are supposed to go or got corrupted on the way up.
Short answer is that you have NOT installed this incorrectly. Viewing your page source I can see that none of the template overwrites that are needed for this add-on to work are in place.. Please re-read the readme file.. Pay close attention to the handling of the files that are in the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders.. It doesn't look like you have any of these files in the proper locations.Quote:

Ok, I figured it out. I had copied over all of the files to the correct folders but I forgot to rename the TEMPLATE folder. I copied the ZL stuff into my Dragon template folder and now it works. Thanks again for the help folks. I knew it was something easy that I was missing.
Hi there, I had lightbox working but sometime ago it must have stopped working. When you clicked to enlarge an image the white box appeared on my site and the screen darkened but no image or even the next/previous/exit buttons appeared. There was no way to exit out of this except to reload the homepage.
When I searched for the lightbox item in the admin>configuration file it wasn't there so I reinstalled the install.sql file which gave me the following error:
1146 Table 'tie0804301252841.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.
so I used the uninstall.sql file which ran successfully and the normal browser popup appears when the enlarge image option is selected.
Any ideas on what the error message means?
I'm using lightbox v1.5 because I'm running Zen Cart 1.3.8a Patch: 1::Database Patch Level: 1.3.8 on PHP Version 5.2.17
Thanks for any help provided.
Trying to install Zen Lightbox 1.6.4. onto zc 1.5.1. Original site 1.3.9h. I upgraded database to zc 1.5.1, then clean install of the file set and started adding updated versions of the mods. So far, Canada Post, Column Grid, Product Attribute Grid, IH4, each tested and running. And now Lightbox. This is a test site only, WAMP, Windows 7. Apache 2.2.11. Php 5.3. MySql 5.1.36
I wasn't able to load the sql either by cut and paste or via PhpMyAdmin paster or import. Running uninstall didn't help before or after. So I deleted all the lightbox statements from the database config and config groups.
Then, I was able to get the first part of the sql in via phpMyAdmin, but not the last statement:
I tried with and without zen_ prefix on 'admin pages'. I get an error message:Code:INSERT INTO `admin_pages` (`page_key` ,`language_key` ,`main_page` ,`page_params` ,`menu_key` ,`display_on_menu` ,`sort_order`)VALUES
('configZenLightbox', 'BOX_CONFIGURATION_ZEN_LIGHTBOX', 'FILENAME_CONFIGURATION', CONCAT('gID=',@cgi), 'configuration', 'Y', @cgi);
The lightbox actually works, but there is a blank configuration page in the admin.Quote:
#1048 - Column 'page_params' cannot be null
Seached forum and googled to no avail. I see one fellow with similar prob solved by reinstalling but I've tried this several times. Any thoughts?
You upgraded to 1.5.1 and while you were in the database did you check to see if admin pages table was createdQuote:

while you were in the database did you check to see if admin pages table was created
I tried crude hack by editing in numbers in place of the @cgi values to match or sequence what looked like a pattern in the tables to my untrained eye. My edited queries were accepted without error message, but the config page is still blank in the store.
So all the queries are present in the admin pages, configuration and group configuration, but with the 3 hacks as mentioned above, AND the only way I could get them accepted was to split the total sql file into 3 segements.
I have no clue what @cgi means - just happened to notice that it was a common thing to the errors I was getting.
in my test store with zen lightbox the database shows as this:
1 page_key varchar(32) utf8_general_ci No http://184.172.135.126:2082/3rdparty...themes/dot.gif 2 language_key varchar(255) utf8_general_ci No http://184.172.135.126:2082/3rdparty...themes/dot.gif 3 main_page varchar(64) utf8_general_ci No 4 page_params varchar(64) utf8_general_ci No 5 menu_key varchar(32) utf8_general_ci No 6 display_on_menu char(1) utf8_general_ci No http://184.172.135.126:2082/3rdparty...themes/dot.gif 7 sort_order int(11) No
in the part where you actually see all the info mine has the glD= with a number after it.
see if yours has the same numbers as mine in your database, that last one should say No at the end of page_params
was this a new update or an upgrade?
if upgrade did you make sure to remove all the files from the previous version of lightbox
I show the same as your chart. For the gID I put =31, and the other numbers in the table went from 1 - 30; and I put the sort as 26 because the other sort numbers in the table went to 25.
I did an upgrade to the database but with a clean set of zc 1.5.1 files. I added my override folders, which had assorted customizations of my own template and also from other mods. I went thru the over ride files and removed mod files, and merged my custom template files; then started adding back in some mods that have have been cleared for 1.5.
On the database I went through and deleted old IH3 and Lightbox lines. However, I missed the admin pages query as I didn't know it was there. I tried a a few unsuccessful installs, then uninstalled. Then when I discovered the admin pages, there were 4 Lightbox queries in there - one for each of my failed attempts. So I deleted those and tried to install that last section of the sql file dealing with admin pages. It went in but with the errors as described earlier.
My data base is the same one I've had since zen 1.3.7; I've updated the db with each update of the files. I wonder if there's too much residual crud in there and maybe I should be starting from (ugh) scratch. This is the first time I've actually dared poke around in the phpMyAdmin and I may be in over my head ;o( The data base I'm playing with hasn't been live for a few years, but I've duplicated my actions when moving to live site from test site each time. ie. I can ditch the test db and just make a few products to test with, but I'll still have to update the live db eventually so I'm hoping to solve this as I pick away at it.
i accidently install mine about 4 times in the beginning and found I had to do an uninstall sql for each one to get rid of them. I really can't tell you what may be the problem, cause it should show in admin section if all the files have been uploaded, check to see if the one in admin folder is living in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/zen_lightbox.php
that one may be there so upload it again, overwriting the one there, might have gotten corrupt somehow.
I've been able to get it sorted. I have no idea why, as I tried this a few times early on unsuccessfully.
I ran another uninstall and reinstall, cutting and pasting into the myPhpAdmin sql box. In the uninstall I added zen_ prefix in 3 places, and in install I added the prefix in 4 places.
I did the install in one complete piece and this time it worked, where it failed on previous attempts. When earlier attempts to insert the entire file I was able to insert it in 3 sections without error message, but with the result of the config page refusing to appear in my store.
It seems the install sql doesn't like to be broken into sections, so I conclude I should have just kept uninstalling and installing the complete thing until it played nice.
Thanks for encouraging me along Dark Angel!
A few things..Quote:

If you choose to run it from myPhpAdmin you will need to edit the SQL file to insert the table prefixes where required.
If you broke the install SQL into sections and ran it like that (versus running the entire install.sql file) that would be why it didn't correctly create the database entries. Breaking up the install file could have possibly removed the variable declaration in the early part of the install SQL. That variable declaration is used in later parts of the install SQL. The install SQL should be run in it's ENTIRETY not in segments.

Like Diva said it should be run from admin section, with that said I always had problems running scripts from admin and this one did the same thing to me when I first installed it with 1.3.7 or 1.3.8, can't remember which. I had to add the "zen_" prefix and then had to run the uninstaller several times and manually remove files then do it all again from database until it finally behaved.
Occasionally still I get a stubborn install, but it behaves later on. I have even had to wait a few days before trying it again..
Since v1.3.9 installing scripts from the admin should not be an issue.. It is the right way to install this add-ons script and it needs to be run all at once not in bite sized chunks..Quote:

Yes and they're all in the images folder.

Hi,
I just upgraded to zen 1.5.1 and installed the zen lightbox 1.6.4. It works fine but does not show "close" button. It does show the "loading.gif" image, so it is strage that the "close" button does not. I did check the paths in "stylesheet_zen_lightbox.css" and they are fine pointing to "../images/zen_lightbox/closelabel.gif". Is there any other stylesheet that I should take a look at? Any suggestion are appreciated.
Please, take a look here: http://www.teaandmore.ca/index.php?m...products_id=22
looks like its working to me

I've reuploaded all files and checked the folder names and it is working now. I guess I missed something but thank you Niestudio for the confirmation.
I have just installed lightbox and I'm getting errors when I try to run the SQL via the administration panel. I used the alternate method and got this message:
Error

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

what was the error you got when trying thru admin panel.Quote:

if you are running 1.5.1 store then take off the // in fromt of the 1.5 part of the code then copy paste all into admin panel
it should work
Sounds like you ran the SQL twice.. run the uninstall SQL and then re-run the install SQL again..Quote:

Without link to your site, we couldn't begin to guess. The issue could be anything from an incomplete install to another add-on conflicting, or even your template.. You will have to provide more information.. (a link to your site might be useful)Quote:

Odd issue.. The search form is showing on top of the the lightbox.. See here:

**scratching my head**
Any ideas???
this style is doing that
you could try setting the z-index to 9998 and that should fix itCode:#navMainSearch{float:right;position:relative;top:-97px;right:10px;z-index:15000;}
I tried something like that first, but then the search form wouldn't work (as in I couldn't click inside the search form) So I made a slight change in the stylesheet_zen_lightbox.css..Quote:

The template and lightbox seem to play nicely together now.. Is there any issue that you can see that this change might cause??Code:#lbCenter, #lbBottomContainer {
position: absolute;
z-index: 16000;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: #fff;
}
No, the change should be fine. I've never seen a site that actually needed 15000 levels of depth. I guess they just want to be safe :)
Probably not.. That actually comes from the template I'm using as the basis of the site template.. Every time I messed with the search forms's z-index, the search form stops working.. so I approached it the other way by adjusting the lightbox stylesheet.. but as long as I didn't harm anything, I'll leave well enough alone.. :smile: Thanks for the hand..Quote:

Looks great...thank you
What I mean is it is working...but still not in the Configuration drop down menu in admin
Hi there
I'm hoping there is someone out there. I'm doing an upgrade of a shop running Zen Car 1.3.7.1 to 1.5.1. I have everything ready to go, the shop down for maintenance and I had only to remove Image Handler and Lightbox from the database before proceeding. However, I can't find an uninstall.sql script for Lightbox 1.4 which is the version installed on the store. I've redownloded the zip of 1.4 and there isn't one in there. I tried running the version 5 one, but that said that there was nothing to change.
Please can someone help me? I take it I do need to remove it prior to setting up all my newly changed files and upgrading the database?
Any help gratefully received (I thought this was going to be the easy bit!)
RoPey
Sorry - that last post should say 'I've tried running the version 1.5 one'....
RoPey
I came into the project later than 1.4, so I'm not really familiar with it, but I looked at the install.txt file and it has some delete functionality built in, BUT it reinstalls itself right away.
Try running just this top part:
SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Zen Lightbox';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
That seems to have done something - I have to confess I'm unsure what. However, it came back with:
Query Results: SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4 FROM zen_configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Zen Lightbox';
DELETE FROM zen_configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM zen_configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
Can you help me understand what that has done?
Thank you so much for the reply!
It removes the lightbox configuration group table and configuration table entries. (the ones that drive the Zen Lightbox admin menu)Quote:

I have a installed of Zen Cart 1.5.1 and upgraded my database from v1.3.9d.
My old Zen Cart had several mod installed including Lightbox.
I installed the classic template and reset the layout boxes then installed IH4. Everything is fine at this point and I get no error logs.
I then transferred the zen_lightbox-v1.6.4_1.5 after remaining the appropriate folders and install the Sql patch using the facility on the Tools menu. At this point I get this error WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.
I checked the DEBUG file and it starts with: PHP Fatal error: 1062uplicate entry 'ZEN_LIGHTBOX_STATUS' (I have attached the full file) Attachment 12538
The line it mentions 120 says this:
trigger_error($this->error_number . ':' . $this->error_text . ' :: ' . $this->zf_sql, E_USER_ERROR);
As far as I can see the result of this error is that the configuration menu is not showing the controls.
Does anyone know how I can fix this?
Sorry If this has already been answered but I haven't been able to find it and sorry if I have posted in the wrong forum most of the reply's to my post direct me to a different thread. :(
Thanks

If you change your link --- possibley when you added them to the individual product page description in admin --- the images may appear. When you entered the information, did you see them in the preview prior to finalizing?
This sounds like an issue with the configure.php file.. that's where the incorrect slash is probably coming from..Quote:

I looked through other areas of the site, some have images not in the beads directory and those display properly; however, those in the beads directory do not have a properly created file path. It is because not all images are in the beads directory that I don't think the configure.php file is the problem.Quote:

My guess is if you switch back to the classic view, these links will probably be correctly shown (although some of the template dependent addons will not be), and you can compare template code to determine the error in your current template. That said, it seems like the errant location was found as I do not see the backwards slash as pointed out by the previous two reviewers. So whatever was done to remove the backslash, go back there and put in a forwards slash as described above.
Hi there,
Im trying to get the lightbox to appear on the product listing pages.
I think I need to simply include the source of the image on the template files.
Can anyone help?
I am wanting to show the lightbox on the product listing pages.
I think I only need to show the source on the product listing pages,
Anyone help me?
Be glad to help, but I think if you provided more information then I or someone else could help you.Quote:

If I am wrong and it is installed to activate under other areas of the site and that was not desired, then I would think that by not updating the applicable template areas then it would be limited down to just those modified.
in the zip includes/modules/pages/
there is the file that you put into the product info folder ( jscript_zen_lightbox.php ) ... just put that sme file into any other one you want the lightbox to work in like these:
popup_image
popup_image_additional
products_all
products_new
then you will have the lightbox working in there too.
I hope that is what you were asking about.
AND PLEASE try not to post so close together, to give us time in our REAL llife time to get in here to answer
Good day, Everybody,
I just installed Fual Slim Box and over it installed Zen Lightbox . The issue I have is that when I upload more than one image for a product I:
(a) do not have a gallery of images through which I can go in Zen Lightbox popup window (I suppose there must be arrows to the left and right to move left and right through my gallery); and
(b) have the same old default popup windows popping up when I click on those additional images for my product that are located below the main image of my product (I suppose they override the Zen Lightbox code somehow);
This issue only occurs when a product has more than one image since if there only one image for a product Zen Lightbox is triggered.
Thank you for you thoughts on how to fix this.
First of all im sorry about posting twice, something went a little strange and I couldn't find where to delete one of them! Ooops.
Okay so I better explain my problem a little better, basically I have already put the jscript in the folder for the product listing page and it does work on the main image of the product listing as you see here:
http://kitchenwarehouseltd.com/compl...gh-gloss/cream
the image of the door and unit you can click and open the lightbox. This is perfect.
The rest of the images dont, I think this is due to the way its coded, normally these images link to the product but I think for the lightbox to work they need to link to the image source?
So in /includes/modules/template/product_listing.php
I think
Will need changing to incorporate the image source, But I dont know how :(PHP Code:$lc_text ='<div class="product_image">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $listing->fields['products_image'], $listing->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_LISTING_HEIGHT, 'class="listingProductImage"');
Danny
did you put the script in these folders also? I have mine in there and the additional images at the bottom go through the lightbox too.
popup_image
popup_image_additional
products_all
products_new
Well I am sorry but I thought those other images were additional ones, they don't seem to even open to a larger view.
Are they written into the product description?

Normally they would go to an individual product page like normal zencart functionality. I am making the customers buy straight from the product listing page by removing the links,
The rest of the lightbox works fine on a normal product page like:
http://kitchenwarehouseltd.com/repla...gh-gloss-cream
You see the main image and additional images work on this page. Thats the product_info page.
I am trying to get the images to work on the product_listing page.
What im trying to say is that they are not additional images, they are actually products.
I hope Im making some sense :P

Well, since nobody seems to want to answer this, I will have to uninstall it.
When no one answers a question is not's about "not wanting to" answer.. It's a VOLUNTEER forum.. people are busy and may not have time to answer.. or perhaps no one knows the answer.. Also it helps if you post a link to your site so people don't have to GUESS what might be happening..Quote:

Thank you. I re-uploaded the /includes/MY_TAMPLATE/additional_images.php and that cured the the problem with the old default popup windows. Now only light box popup windows appear on a click.
The second issue - the issue with missing navigation arrows - still remains. When a lightbox window pops up there no arrows to move between additional images for a product. However, a hyperlink, where the arrow(s) should appear, is in place and clicking on the right and left sides of the lightbox allows to move between the additional images for the product. Please let me know how to fix the missing arrow in lightbox problem.
Thank you.
Check your settings in your admin panel. Sounds like the function of moving to different pictures is working, but you don't have the option to show arrows (or something similar) set. I forget the actual designation, but what you are experiencing is one of the ways it can be set. Also note that the way(s) to close your lightbox are controlled in there as well. Based on the issues I have on my cell phone with zen lightbox, I like to be able to click outside of the image to have it close (I thought this will also force the arrows you are looking for).Quote:

yes Daniel that makes sense. You are right normally those are all listed as seperate products, which is why they most likey won't work right with the lightbox now.
Did you maybe remove something when you removed the code to make the customer by from that page?
Thank you for the reply.Quote:

I enabled the function of being able to close Lightbox by clicking anywhere on the screen. This is handy but when I checked out my website, I found out that the old issue of the default windows popping up re-emerged again. I should say the issue has resurrected. I again removed from the server and re-uploaded the file
/includes/modules/MY_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php.
That again cured the problem and now only Lightbox windows popup. I suppose this file has to be re-uploaded every time one changes Lightbox settings in the control panel.
However, and it the most important, I was not able to activate those move to the left and move to the right navigation arrows. I have not even seen a line that might be responsible for those arrows.
A question for you ... why do you have both slimbox and lightbox installed...try turning off slimbox.
it might be that there is a shared file that is not sharing or got overwritten by one of the mods
what is slimbox anyway, lightbox is great on its own.

Thank you for the reply.
I installed Slimbox first and then installed Lightbox over it. I am not running both. I am running Lightbox. The Slimbox is installed but disabled through the control panel. I can uninstall Slimbox, if necessary.
I do not think the issues with arrows are related to the fact that I have them both installed. First, there are no arrows, there are 'buttons' Next and Previous. (I seem to vaguely remember that the real Lightbox should have arrows). Those buttons, Next and Previous, do appear in the Internet Explore but do not appear in Firefox. I think the answer could be that the current version of Zen Lightbox is not meeting some requirements of Firefox and buttons do not appear in FF. I could be wrong, of course, and if I am, I would like to fix this issue. If anybody with Firefox has buttons fully operational, please let me know.
The buttons are simply images, if you want them to be arrows then you can change out the applicable images of prev and next to be arrows.Quote:

I would suggest since you have it turned off to just go ahead and remove sll zlimbox files from your server, remove any sql it might have had you install then reupload all the files for lightbox, this will make sure you have all the files where they should be. I use this on 1.3.9h stores all the time...my own and those I install for others and the buttons appear when additional images are available, in Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari,
Also make sure you have it set to show the buttons in admin.
But it's NOT related to Firefox.. Otherwise others would be reporting the SAME issue.. The buttons appear for me, and if they don't for you then this is an issue specific to your local computer..Quote:
