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).
The problem I described is that from my cell, if I try to zoom in the picture moves on the screen to somewhere to the side, and if I move the page around, the image also moves, so I can't "catch" the close button. Also, if I zoom out and try to click on the close button, my phone tries to zoom, so back into the same issue. But, there are key options also to move from picture to picture, which still work.
Thank you for the reply.
I went to the Control > Images and read every line.
I also went to Control > Fual Slimbox and read every line
I also went to Control > Zen Lightbox and read every line
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.
Re: Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]
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.

Fual Slimbox is another lightbox add-on.. It's a little lighter than Zen Lightbox, and is a LOT simpler than Zen Lightbox in that it's a lightbox for the product images only..
That said you are spot on.. you really don't need both, though in the Zen Lightbox instructions it says you can install Zen Lightbox with Fual Slimbox, it's wholly unnecessary to run (or install) both..
Re: Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]
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.

I am not currently at a computer, but try this webpage and see if the buttons appear when using firefox: http://shop.pugsugottasave.org/Donat...ly-and-Growler
Zen lightbox is installed as well as Image Handler 4. It is expected that the buttons will appear when the lightbox is activated. If they don't, then I might say that there is something related to the installed version of this plugin and firefox.
Re: Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]
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..
