And I thought that fix to the class file to correct this was part of one of the updates to ZLB..
The fix though is certainly posted in this support thread (yet another reason why I always say that it pays to read through the support thread)

Hello,
Searched for this but can't seem to find anyone else who is asking about it.
How do you integrate pinterest and other sharing buttons in zen lightbox?

Hi lad128,
No support for that, you'd have to do it manually.

Re: Zen Lightbox...
Good morning All - I have been with Zencart for a bit and am gradually finding my pit falls of ignorance... I would love to add this feature to my site but I am wondering if it is worth it because I fear that I have not prepped all my pics correctly.. I have one pic to an item and have had a staff helping and I think that she has not been naming them as I had asked so there is no consistency.

Well, the naming does not have a direct affect on whether this plugin will work or not, it can affect which picture(s) appear with which product(s). Ie, picture for product number one is named A, and picture for product number two is marked AB, well, product two's picture will show up for both products, but picture for product one will only show for product one. This is the case regardless if Zen Lightbox is installed. Zen Lightbox allows the image to be shown as the "center" of attention when clicked on. If there happen to be more than one picture available for that product, then there are configurable options to address that.

Re: Zen Lightbox...
Yes this is a great mod and I would not use any other...LOL If you do decide to use this mod then I would greatly suggest you use larger images so when it is clicked on ---- image pops up in pretty dark "cloaked" window --- customer can see details better. As you have them now, when even clicked now the image is pretty much the same size as the one clicked....hard to see details of image.
Larger sizes will be resized for page view by software of cart so that is great. See my signature for link to my store and view for yourself.

I have converted all my client sites from Zen Lightbox to Zen Colorbox. One of the BIGGEST driving factors for this is because Zen Colobox is responsive and Zen Lightbox is not and cannot be easily made responsive.. The reason other is that the underlying libraries which drive Zen Lightbox are at EOL..

Re: Zen Lightbox...
OK I bit the bullet and have installed colorbox but I see this in the controls to set:
If Enable Resize Animations is set to true, the lightbox will resize its width from this value to the current image width, when first displayed.
Where do I find the critter to resize animations?, it is not in the colorbox control settings.
Also, if I do not want the slideshow effect how do I enable the next and previous buttons or are they not available with this lightbox?
Should I have started this in a thread of its own since there is not thread for colorbox support?

how's that for certainty. I was looking for the next/prev buttons like this lightbox and did not realize they were so tiny and not in the upper corners of the window but at the bottom.
I am going to search for the thread later to just find out if there is a way to show them larger or text vs the circular buttons.

Re: Losing top of image
Some how I managed to lose the bullets in the bottom right of the image. I first had 4 of them there with 4 pictures and it worked fine. I added a 5th picture and during that process is when I lost the bullets. All 5 pictures show up properly, but the bullets don't. Any ideas?

Re: Losing top of image
I use IH4 and have all of my product images automatically populated with that. Right now I have one product image and it scales it down for the thumbnails, etc.
What I am wanting to do is have extra images below my main product image that people can click through to see product samples, etc. - nice and big thumbnails, and have a nice popup to go with it. Like a slideshow of sorts, I guess that's what a lightbox is?
I'm sorry, I have a very hard time figuring out zen cart and coding. But I am trying, and I am doing it on my end 100% myself.
Anyway, I was reading about compatibility about IH4 and this addon, and I am not sure I understand? I have to disable the nice lightbox feature? I haven't installed this yet, I am trying to figure out how it works before I do so I don't break anything.

Re: Losing top of image
ZL uses jquery v 1.4.4 which conflicts with other modules / templates.
Learned this the hard way after installing a template from Picaflor Azul on one of my development sites.
See: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...06#post1249006
My solution is posted there as well (a few posts down).

IMO really not neccesary to submit an update for that. Alot of plugins that use jquery use the version that is out at that time. So maybe a sticky in a subforum would be more appropriate to notify those who installl blindly that they should look what version or if multiple versions of jquery are being loaded on their site and to choose the latest one that works.

Open source forum.. Anyone can update a module.. YOU certainly can make this update and submit it.. :smile:
The author has stated that he will be making NO further updates to this module for two reasons:
1. Many of the underlying supporting elements are soon to be/may already be obsolete
2. This module is NOT responsive and for the afore mentioned reason will not be updated to be responsive..

It might be possible, but you'd have to do it yourself. Slimbox is very old now, and hasn't been updated to be responsive.
Check out colorbox (in the plugin area) for a more modern solution.

It's that version why I recently had said that I thought ZLB might be responsive like, but conversations lead back to just using ZCB. Agree the conversations were leaning towards just going with what is still supported rather than trying to take on a new to be come obsolete product.

I was supposed to add lightbox to these images, but it seems to just take it to the folder i stored the image.

I can't remember the exact fix (besides switching to zen colorbox which is likely to have support moving forward), but there was a conflict of this and at least one other plugin (TPP I think it was) that lead to seeing something like this issue. A fix was provided several pages back and had to do with changes to the javascript. I may have expressed why this is seen incorrectly, but there was something about the code that lead to seeing this. Please identify what plugins you have installed so that better help may be offered.

And you are right switching to Zen Colorbox is the answer as there will be no further updates to this module as Slimbox which this module uses is old, outdated and unsupported..

Here is how to get mailchimp to use a new window upon pressing "Subscribe".
add target="_blank" to line 13 of tpl_mailchimp_sidebox.php as illustrated in the code below
'method="post" target="_blank" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form">';
next step is to throw some javascript in to "size" the new window
then I will work on getting it to start in a lightbox

Slimbox is a very slimed down lightbox... doesn't have code for anything other then images.. where colorbox is a full lightbox and can display anthing... I use it to dispaly images, help, privacy, contact-us form and such... easy to setup, degrades back to a standard popup... responsive, no problems. create the standard popup, add zen colorbox code, set a class, set a watch for the class in DOM, done...

How to let main image only show once in lightbox?
Greetings-
With http://angelcorp.net/test/zencart/in...products_id=87, the lightbox works perfect.
But with http://angelcorp.net/store/index.php...products_id=94, the main image shows twice before additional image.
Possibly it's because the latter site has two language version (Chinese and English) involved.
How to let main image only show once before additional image in lightbox, even multiple language packs are installed (if it's the reason)?
Thank you.

Re: Zen Lightbox...
Im in ver v1.5.4, with IH4 & Lightbox1.70 installed. Only the main image is styled in the lightbox. Additional images will not style in lightbox and only display in the original popup. I have tested many different configs and setting and am at a loss to figure out why additional images will not style in the lightbox. My additional images are clearly missing rel="lightbox-g". Has anyone run into this issue and been able to resolve it.

Okay, with that sorted. Are you sure you merged all the files correctly? since IH and Light-box are using some common files. The best way is to install the light-box files first and the the IH4 files.
-
Re: Losing top of image
Good questions I looked into the merge question first and setup another test site. I am still getting the site together. I started the site @goddaddy here but the servers are way to overloaded and slow. That said zen colorbox and IH4 work fine together.
I moved to A Small Orange hosting. Installed my template files and found that I was having the issue of only the main image getting styled and coded for a light/slim box. Gallery mode gets ignored, additional photos are left to the standard ZC popup window.
My original install on the new host (ASO) bringing over only my edited template here. This is the same behavior with Zen Lightbox. No additional images styled or working gallery mode (option is toggled on in admin for lightbox galley mode, as well as additional images for product type).
My new fresh install on the new host here repeats this same behavior http://zen.qcglassnvape.com/index.ph...ucts_id=1]here Zen colorbox. No additional images styled or working gallery mode (option is toggled on in admin for colorbox galley mode, as well as additional images for product type).
Oddly the mouseover image preview setting for IH4 works perfectly on all additional product images. Still does not open large image into the lightbox style.

Re: Losing top of image
I have a vague remembrance that zen_lightbox (unlike the zen_colorbox plugin, which provides similar functionality) has "issues" with jQuery versions later than 1.7 (?); you're using jQuery 1.11.1.

Re: Losing top of image
Hello.
My situation: New ZC 1.5.4 installed, using CKEditor for texts, alongside Additional Image add-on for more images and now I wanted to install Zen Lightbox in order for the additional image to show up in lightbox, not traditional pop-up.
I installed everything like it says in the readme file, however, it doesn't seem to work for me.
I tried to switch any possible jquery file from v1.1.0 to v1.11.2 , nothing changes. I still get the first (big) image shown via pop-up windows, and I can't even switch to next-previous (additional) image, as the arrows aren't shown and ... can't do it.
Additionally , if I try to open one of the additional images first, it opens like any other file - in the same tab/window, but not in lightbox mode.
See here for example.
ANY help will be much than appreciated!

When a problem is found with a plugin, it is advised to review the forum thread for that plugin. It would help to read the last couple of pages at least. Doing that should have identified that this plugin is no longer supported but equivalent functionality is available through another plugin. That plugin is Zen Colorbox.
Please read back about the issues as to why no longer supported...

Re: Losing top of image
It was probably not installed correctly. I would move each file individually to the correct folder. Also make sure your image names do not have any special characters like image(0).jpg

I have a strange problem on mobile devices only. I am using the responsive_classic template and ZC1.5.5a, and when an image is selected all the links in my custom menu are displayed as text with no css on the page. Works perfectly on my desktop. My website is: http://allmart.ca.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Re: Losing top of image
You have a partial white page, which means there are errors in your code. This also means that there are debug logs created. Please post the contents of the latest file.

Re: Losing top of image
Thanks for your prompt reply. I am embarrassed to say that the file is too large to post here. I created a link:
http://www.allmart.ca/images/myDEBUG...586-643693.txt
Thanks again.

Re: Losing top of image
this log "only" contains warnings. The should be dealt with, but are not responsible for the white page. There are probably other files reporting an error.

Re: Losing top of image
I have discovered that the issue is with my custom menu, which only appears in desktop mode and gets hidden in mobile through css. Here is a link to one of my products. http://www.allmart.ca/index.php?main...roducts_id=463. If selecting the image on a desktop, Lightbox works perfectly but on a mobile device or in mobile emulation which I use Chrome, all the links in my custom menu appear on a new page. I don't have this issue if I disable Lightbox.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Losing top of image
it seems that the latest version does not support zc1.5.5b with responsive_class template? i just tested and installed the latest version, on desktop it works well without any problems, but when i switch to mobile user agent, it shows connecting..., waiting for localhost in status bar, seems like no css or js is loaded, i checked log folder, no errors caused.
anyone knows how to solve this?

Based on the history of this plugin and what it is/was built on, it is unlikely that there is a solution that would work properly in zc 1.5.5. There is an alternative plugin that offers equivalent functionality and has been supported/is supportable. Please see the following referenced post to find where that plugin is located. This post was on the previous page, but apparently overlooked. The reasons for it no longer being supported are not too far before that, but it is based on the lack of further support on the code that makes it possible for this plugin to do what it did so well.

I tested colorbox as well, the same result:(

Hi mc12345678, can you please try to help? colorbox not work either.

The version of colorbox that I tried to install onto a zc1.5.5 site had a javascript error that prevented display of the base image. Will continue to try to troubleshoot but again as described in this thread zen lightbox as provided for this plugin is built on software that doesn't work on the more recent javascript/jquery. I seem to recall that the zen colorbox software that worked was available on github, but I'd have to get to it and test it out to offer much further help. I'm aware that there is a condition that can occur if TPP is installed where the text of images comes out wrong, and there appears to be an issue with Image Handler version 4 addressed on github in the issues section related to javascript, but haven't seen the issue described in the text above and haven't gone to your site (if provided) to see what is going on.

I fixed my issue with colorbox (software discussed at: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....6-Zen-Colorbox, available for download from the ZC files: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=170 and from github at: https://github.com/daniel-hopkins/zen-colorbox)
When I was merging files I had minor changes as hidden, but those minor changes included html commenting that is added to/included in includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\templates\tpl_modules_main_product_image.php. I missed an important merge line and therefore the code wasn't working. Anyways, sorry to have hijacked this thread about zen lightbox, but colorbox remains fully functional without having to use older versions of javascript/jquery etc... (Perhaps best summarized here by DivaVocals: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....39#post1249039 I basically stopped searching for the minute details after finding that particular post.)

Additional images not showing after turning off lightbox
Greetings-
Additional images display perfectly in the lightbox, but do not show up after I turn off lightbox from admin.
Do I need to completely delete the plugin files from the server? I'd like to keep those files (not just a few) in order to be flexible.
Has anybody ever tried that way? Maybe I made a mistake somewhere inadvertently.
Thank you.

Zen Colorbox.
Please read back about the issues as to why no longer supported...
So, why doesn't anyone go update the old Lightbox Plugin page to indicate that it doesn't work for newer versions, and that there's an alternate for a newer version of Zencart?

I'm confused too:
Zen Lightbox: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=170
... says supports 1.3.9 all the way to 1.5.4 and has more recent updates than Zen Colorbox
Zen Colorbox: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1322
... says supports 1.5.0 and 1.51 and no updates in ages

Re: Losing top of image
Right, there's not much to update for something that works across the versions. Starting around this thread: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....53#post1236553 the issues with the javascript are described. Now I've tried to look elsewhere/further for any more of a centralized discussion, possibly outside this thread, but as pointed out a page or so ago by lat9, there was a cap on full functionality based on jquery version. After a certain point it just didn't work anymore and the issues seen/described here were identified. That was back in 2013/2014. After repeatedly suggesting redirection to colorbox which I have used the latest found on github with a minor modification to successfully install to a ZC responsive 1.5.5 site.
Niestudio did his homework and testing. He supported both plugins and had identified that it was not worth continuing to develop/modify this module because the base of the functionality was not being worked on/expanded and colorbox base javascript was.

Re: Zen Lightbox...
I've reviewed many pages but really could not find the same problem that I am facing.
My zen 1.5.4, image handler 4 v432 with lightbox 1.6.5 or 1.6.4 (tried both versions) running at Xampp. I first installed image handler and then installed lightbox.
When I click the image (main product or additional image), about 1/5 chance that the image didn't display normally. i.e. there is no "next" "prev" "close" button at the image but a magnifier cursor that is able to zoom in/out when clicking image. Even refreshing page, no any change at all and I hanged at that page. I can return to product page only by clicking the backward key!
Attachment 17020
I’ve tried several times to install both version ( lightbox 1.65 or 1.64). But the problem is the same. And there is no error message in error logs.
Could anyone help me please? Thanks a lot!

Re: Zen Lightbox...
Even with all of the "recent" discussion of the plugin, considering that both of those plugins depend on javascript to provide the expected functionality and that there is something going on during page load to possibly affect that (inconsistent operation), would suggest validating your webpage to ensure that the javascript is able to fully execute. HTML validation errors can prevent javascript operation as well can poorly written/incompatible javascript.

I changed to another template and no such problem! Maybe I should not use that template anymore.
Thanks :)

mc12345678, do you think it is due to the conflict of js?
When I used Abagon template (free version), after installing IH and lightbox, everything was good. But install with other template like HOPE or paid version of Abagon, the problem came out!
I found that the URL is "http://localhost/zcart154hope/images/ch34816/ch34816.jpg" instead of "http://localhost/zcart154hope/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2_3&products_id=1&zenid=8r3mnnou420a5sd 9sji8tui1l4" when lightbox improperly displaying.
Thanks

Honestly, there is little that can be determined with that information, but if I may explain a few things. 1) before adding any other plugins that interact with the front end, the template should resolve satisfactorily with an html validator such that the page has no errors. There are some errors that will have no effect on javascript, but it is far easier to say that you are starting with a clean slate that functions.
2) Whatever jquery/javascript or the like is loaded, there should be only one version that is loaded not multiple.
3) The most up-to-date version of whatever software should be loaded which if it is located on github may include some additional fixes that have been discussed either in the forum or perhaps the issues area of the github copy of the program.
4) IH4 as provided on github had been rewritten to make the path to the image "human" readable. Regarding the above, that means that things were done well enough to get the correct filename.
5) If using a merge utility to combine two or more files, understand that javascript can appear to be a minor modification that can end up being ignored instead of say php related code which turns out to be more major changes, so there could be a chance of missing a merge if manually performed at some point.

Thank you for your explanation!
It is out of my knowledge to modify the code. Finally, I just installed the "worked" template after the "problem" template, then the lightbox run properly again even I shifted to the "problem" template.:P
On the other hand, I found the lightbox may have a little problem when running with mobile device. With clicking the image, there is lightbox displaying, but the image is off center when zoom in, and it cannot be drafted to left or right. Attachment 17025 Could you advise me how to fix it?
Thank you!

And there it is... The advice for that issue which has been the case for the last what, 4 years is to uninstall lightbox and instead install colorbox. The link is posted several times over the last few pages. Colorbox was made/modified to handle that situation. This plugin (really the foundation to its operation) unfortunately has not been maintained to be able to support/fix that issue.

Another thing is, which doesn't necessarily fit the description of "sometimes" or maybe 1/5 of the time not working, is:
6) the plugin has template specific changes, those changes need to be applied to whatever template is to be, or is being used.

Today I tested with Colorbox, in mobile device, the image showing in lightbox can be drafted to left or right, but when releasing my finger, the image will run off the screen!
Then I tested with Fual Slimbox, in mobile device, the image just sticked to the left side of the screen, left part of the image can never be seen.Attachment 17029. And there is no pre/next button at the image.
Seems I should keep finding another lightbox.

Re: Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]
I apologize if I missed this somewhere in the thread. I am adding additional photos to product pages (http://completelydevoteddesigns.com/...&products_id=2)
I know there is a way to add a line of code to make the other photos open in lightbox but I cannot remember where it needs placed. Any help?

If it helps anyone adding rel="lightbox-g" did the trick for example in a table:
<td style="vertical-align: top; width: 106px;"><a
href="http://completelydevoteddesigns.com/images/solematemini/image000000_24.jpg"
rel="lightbox-g"><img
style="border: 0px solid ; width: 135px; height: 115px;" alt=""

Same here Jay,
My Colorbox lately started to make problems on Chrome mobiles/Ipads...opens on the side and sometimes shrinks etc'...
Maybe because of moving to SSL.
Looks like JS problems as MC wrote.
So I am also looking for a solution or for another "lightbox" to fit ZC 1.5.5
If you have anything, please share...

You may try magic toolbox. But it is not free :)
Its lightbox function is very great either for pc or mobile. You may try their trail version before purchasing it.

Re: Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]
I have zen_lightbox 1.6.5 working ok with 1.5.5e. It needs to have the includes/classes/zen_lightbox folder added. There are three files in that. autoload_default.php, options.php, slimbox.php. It must come from some earlier version I had. Good luck.

I have Colorbox and I have includes/classes/zen_colorbox folder added.
There I have three files: autoload_default.php, options.php, jquery_colorbox.php.
So I do not see the solution in this area.

Re: Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]
Colorbox and lightbox are not the same. Lightbox is authored by Alex Clarke, colorbox is authored by niestudio. I've just done a file comparison of slimbox.php and jquery_colorbox.php and they're very different.
-
Re: Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]
Thanks Cefyn,
Lightbox was mentioned in other threads as makes problems with newer versions of Zen Cart
and therefor I installed the Colorbox on 1.5.5 zen cart.
The colorbox worked well until something happened and caused it to make problems as mentioned before.
I do not know what was really the change that made the problem but I suspet that it happened after SSL installation.

Re: Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]
ZC-1.5.5e, PHP 5.6.32, Database patch level 1.5.5 , IH 5, ZLB 1.6.5
The Next button does not appear on the main image.
The additional images have the appropriate next and prev buttons.
ie. The 1st Additional image has the next button. The 2nd additional image has the next and prev buttons.
The last additional image has the prev button.
Everything else is working fine.
any help would be appreciated
