I see!
Just what I need, more toys! Guess I'll have to look into it. Scared about all the horror stories of it breaking Lightbox though.
I'll work it offline on my copy to see how it goes since everything is working and a little of the heat is off....but not much!
Another unplanned day of Zen! Can't walk away from the damn thing and one issue sprouts to another....and another........
Thanks as always Woody and thanks to everyone else too!
OK, total noob to zen cart needs help.
I jumped in to help a friend on their site and while getting more familiar with zen cart, found this contribution, thought it would be a great fit.
Downloaded, renamed the folders, uploaded to server, seemed easy.
No luck, images still pop up in a new window.
At this point, don't know a great deal about the zen cart install. Also, reading this looong thread is not much help as a lot of it is greek to me.
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

I go to your site but where are you trying to get this to work, I don't seem to see your cart...not that I looked much but if you could provide a link to the cart, it might be better.
Thanks for your reply.
The site is using zen cart to display their catalog of products, not as an actual shopping cart. Here's a link to one of the product display pages that has a link to a larger image.

I think that is your problem, thats not a zen cart link right there. A link to a product would look more like index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=2 something like that. That page you put up is an html page...so if you want that page to have lightbox then you need to work that from the original lightbox code. You can google it to find it. You can also tie in the links to html pages to the files in the module for lightbox, it takes some hacking of the code but not to hard. That is not a zen cart link...sorry and good luck
Thanks for the reply, but that is a zen cart link. All of the individual product pages (.html) are generated on the fly by zen cart.
I did not do the initial installation for this site, so I'm not sure how this is accomplished, but it is no different than another zen cart website that was shown as a working sample earlier in this thread:
http://rafcamera.com/
If I'm not mistaken, the product links on that website are also dynamically generated html pages, here's a sample:
http://rafcamera.com/novar-anastigma...5cm-p-566.html
This great lightbox contrib is working on that website.
@Crystal: Look at the source. Looks like Zen Cart to me :wink2:Quote:

@Izon: Just a hunch but maybe some other JavaScript you are loading is conflicting? Maybe temporarily disable the other scripts to test.
That is a nice looking highly customized site. If you can I suggest communicating with the original developer for ideas.

The other two loaded scripts:Quote:

You have a mouseover enabled on the additional image (the drawing thrumbnail) which maybe conflicting with Lightbox function. Disable the mouseover on that image to test for conflict. (easiest to test by temporarily disabling rollover script).

Woody,
Thanks for your efforts. I wish I could go back to the original developers but that's not an option. I'm not familiar with kuzmenu either and could not find anything online.
I guess it could be a javascript conflict, but I would expect to see some sort of error message.
The other reason I question this is that, when I look at the source code, for the image popup, I see
I would expect to see something similar to thisCode:<a href="images/RSM-1-7501.jpg" target="_blank">(Larger image)</a>
which is from the source of a working installation.Code:<!-- begin lightbox v1.1 aclarke 2006-09-06 -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
document.write('<a href="images/scl/novar-75mm.jpg?zenid=e12b280870a919e950bf31c29c2152e6" rel="lightbox[gallery]" title="Novar Anastigmat lens 3.5/7.5cm"><img src="images/scl/novar-75mm.jpg" alt="Novar Anastigmat lens 3.5/7.5cm" title=" Novar Anastigmat lens 3.5/7.5cm " width="133" height="120" /><br /><span class="imgLink">larger image</span></a>');
//--></script>
<!-- end lightbox v1.1 aclarke 2006-09-06 -->
If it were a javascript conflict, wouldn't the code still get output correctly to the browser, then probably throw an error?
Given the above, I would think there is some problem with my install?
Again, I really appreciate your time and effort.
Just tossing out ideas:Quote:

And you sure you have:
Correctly edited Zen Cart core files to include Lightbox code:
includes/templates/classic/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php
and
includes/modules/classic/additional_images.php
And uploaded
includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_lightbox.php
includes/templates/template_default/jscript/lightbox_effects.js
And uploaded the lightbox gifs to
includes/templates/template_default/images/lightbox/
To test maybe temporarily remove:
includes/functions/extra_functions/zen_image_lightbox_IH2_url.php
Is there a compatibility issue with SEO URL's? Since I have not employed SEO URL's I cannot help. Hopefully someone whom has both Lightbox and SEO URL's installed can post to confirm they work together. Or maybe some SEO URL mod hints in this thread?
Good luck,
Woody
