Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

It's me again. I solved my problem again by copying the zen_lightbox directory to includes\templates\custom\images\ [B]and[\B] by putting the gif imagesin that same directory inside includes\templates\custom\images\ separately. Is this necessary?

You'll need to rename two folders within the 'includes' folder (from the zip file).

Then you should upload all the files within the 'includes' folder to your website (keeping the file structure the same).

Did you follow the instructions in the readme file?

Thanks for posting this find Climax. I'll review the code change for the 1.5 release.

If anyone wants an easy way to remove 1.3 prior to installing 1.4 and have shell access, make the needed changes and run this from the root of your zen folder:

Code:

---

rm -v ./includes/functions/extra_functions/zen_image_lightbox_IH2_url.php
rm -v ./includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php
rm -v ./includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_lightbox.php
rm -v ./includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_lightbox.css
rm -v ./includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php

Zen Lightbox has built-in functionality to hide any page elements when the lightbox is displayed.

Please see the FAQs section of the readme file (readme.html) for more details.

I am redesigning my store for a new holiday roll-out in November...

I was always intrigued and interested in your contribution but I have never had the time to install it.

Well, I finally did and I just wanted to say it was the easiest installation I have ever done and it works great and I'm sure it will make my site more attractive and easier to use.

Thank you very much.

Hi there

Long time I didn't worked with zen-cart but now I have to give the 1.3.7 german version a try. Now I tried to install the lightbox script but failed on the sql part.

What I get is this while running the SQL query:

Quote:

---

1136 Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES (NULL, 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox options', '1', '1');]
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.

---

I uploaded all necessary files exactly like in the readme but no success. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I've seen errors similar to this one in the past (not with Zen Lightbox) and they turned out to be caused by the MySQL version I was running.

Zen Lightbox v1.4 was designed and built on a system running PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.45, if that helps! :)

Which version of MySQL do you have installed?

Or, some installed mods on the site added an additional column to the table,

Good thinking.

I would recommend installing a clean version of Zen Cart 1.3.7.1 and then comparing both (from the fresh install and your existing install) of the configuration_group tables.

Like yellow1912 said, the table may have been modified. So, check to make sure they both contain the same amount of columns.

Thanks, now the extra images thumbnails atleast show up.. however They won't load into the light box.. only the main product image does.

ok, so I figured out what the problem is..

My additional images i keep in the /images/ for and i just upload them as image_name_02.jpg 03.jpg etc etc...

Well, the new additional_images.php is linking my 'extra images' to
/images/large/image_name_02_LRG.jpg

what would I edit to make it link the extra images to just how they are which is
/images/image_name_02.jpg


Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your time. Actually it is a complete clean installation with a modified cherry zen template. The PHP version is 5.1.6 and the MySQL is 4.1.21. I don't have any clue what I should look into the tables sorry :(

How I got around the problem was to ignore the additional_images.php file that came with the mod and copied the core zen additional_images.php file into the override folder: /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/

Then find line 92

Code:

---

    // Link Preparation:

---

and insert below it the following:

Code:

---

        // bof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-22
        if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_STATUS == 'true') {
       
    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="' . zen_lightbox($products_image_large, addslashes($products_name), LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, LARGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '" rel="lightbox[gallery]" title="' . addslashes($products_name) . '">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';
       
        } else {
                       
    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';
       
        }
        // eof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-22

---

Then directly under that, comment out the following line of code:

Code:

---

$script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';

---

so it looks like this;

Code:

---

//    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';

---

I hope that helps, and I'm not treading on anyone's toes.

Great mod by the way, thanks.

Hello anyone,

I set up light box with Zen Cart 1.37 1 with HI 2(0916). However, it looks like HI does not work with Light box?! Also, when I clicked the product info-image, only the main image works fine for light box but I do not have the "NEXT Button" to look at the other images. (I used HI2 to add extra images.) Please see my website.

Could anyone help me about HI2 and Light box issue? Could anyone know how I can show the next button?

Thank you so much.

Ken

Alex,

This is just awesome! Websites couldn't look more professional. Thank you for your time and effort, I tell you, they all worth the result.

Other than it's eye candy, it protects the images as well. Although not impossible, it's more difficult to save images when they are displayed in this lightbox.

Great stuff man.

-Memo

Thank you Alex,CES, Climax, Sigel. It is really working with IH2 now although no hover. But it is working at least. Thank you so much.

This is a fantastic mod. Thank you so much again.:clap:

The first Lightbox image works and looks great, but it hangs on the second image. any suggestions.

It's a clean install of Zen. All of the files are stored in the same directory and they are named with suffixes of _01, _02...

Thanks for any replies

It looks like there is a bug with this release of Zen Lightbox. :(

To get the images (next, previous and close buttons) to display, you'll need to copy the zen_lightbox folder (found in includes/templates/your-template-name/images) to includes/templates/template_default/images. That should sort it out for you. I'll be fixing this issue in the next release.

What problems were you experiencing with Zen Lightbox and IH2?

Glad you like it! To protect your images further you can always add a watermark using IH2.

Do you have a link to your website please?

Hi folks. I've got the lightbox installed and it's working great except for the additional images. I've read and re-read the tutorial several times and tried a bunch of different things, but I'm not having any luck.

Here's my image naming conventions:

images/books/medium/slh_01_MED.jpg

images/books/medium/slh_02_MED.jpg

images/books/large/slh_01_LRG.jpg

images/books/large/slh_02_LRG.jpg

The first medium shows up fine on the page and opens the first large when you click on it. But there is no "next" button displayed, and no additional thumbnails on the page. Is there an additional module I need to install?

Here's a link:

http://www.theadventuresofhannah.com...&products_id=1

Any help is much appreciated.

Did additional images work before you installed Zen Lightbox?

Unfortunately, I didn't try additional images before hand. I knew I wanted to use the lightbox, so it's the first thing I did after the base install.

I'm 99% sure that your filenames and/or location for these additional images are incorrect.

If setup correctly, your additional images wil appear on the product page (and also be viewable via Zen Lightbox).

I recommend reading this tutorial...

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=58

That should sort things out for you. :)

Hi Guys,

Im a totally newbie..so please excuse my basic questions.


Iv installed light box (well tried) i can now see Zen cart in my admin area.

And uploaded the files to the correct destination.

But when i click on a image (to enlarge) instead of opening in a new window like before..it opens in the same...

and you have to click back to get where you where before.

Wat have i done wrong??

www.splay.co.uk

Thank you

oohhh:-)

im cleverer than i thought....managed to get it working!! :smartalec:


Now just to find out how to add multiple images... :yuck:

Hi guys.

Iv tried to follow the tutorial to add multiple pixs..but still cant seem to follow it.

1. Created a new product and uploaded a picture (signature.jpg) to a folder called 'Cricket Bats'

2. Used FTP to place two more pixs in that folder called:

signature_01.jpg
signature_02.jpg


3. When i find the product (http://letsplaysport.co.uk/zc/index....roducts_id=144)

i click the main picture and it loads..but it does not switch to he second / third pic../it just hangs?

What am i doing wrong?

Thankyou

Whenever I install this file:

tpl_modules_main_product_image

I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_lightbox() in /home/treed/public_html/boutique/includes/templates/classic/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php

Nevermind, I fixed it :)

2 questions.... is it possible to add captions like on the example page? If so, how?

Also, was there a resolution for the hover images? I have everything working with image handler and lightbox except that

Thanks!!

I followed that one to the letter and still no luck. Tried different directories, everything. And I know the first one is right, because it's finding both the medium and large image.

I had the same problems as everyone else with additional images not showing up even after re-following the readme. Replace modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php with the attached file. If you have altered this file use a comparison program like winmerge to merge the files. Basically, if you go through your existing addtional_images.php file and replace all instances of str_replace with ereg_replace it should work. At least it does on my heavily modified cart. :smile:

Plus, it may or may not be helpful for Firefox and Opera to show extra images by adding this line to your stylesheet.css :

.additionalImages a {display:all;}

Let me know if this works.

Matt

Thanks very much Matt. Unfortunately, still no luck. And I can even see the empty <!--bof Additional Product Images --><!--eof Additional Product Images --> comment tags in the source code. Very frustrating.

Have you tried the suggestions documented in posts 723 and 725?

Hello Vik007,
how did you fix this, I have the same problem and I don't know what to do?
It might be a browser problem (I'm running internet explorer 6.0), it seems that all websites with the lightbox don't display the lightbox on my computer, they just open the image in the browser.
Thanks.

Yes I do and i checked the website with firefox and the lightbox works fine.
here is the link to one of my product pages, can someone check if for their IE the lightbox works.
Thanks.

OK, I finally got it working. It just absolutely wouldn't work without image handler installed. As soon as I installed that, everything was good. Only thing I can't figure out now is why "use css buttons" no longer works...

Work for my fine (IE7). However, your website (and all the images displayed in Zen Lightbox) take quite a while to load for me. I'm on a 20mb/s connection so that shouldn't be an issue.

When I viewed the larger image of your product the Zen Lightbox loading animation was displayed for aroun 5-10 seconds. Then the picture loaded.

Slowness aside, it worked fine. :)

Hi, I tried updating to the latest zen lightbox. I removed all the files associated with the previous version zen lightbox. I got this crazy error after installing the .sql file. The site works when I remove the file. Anybody know how to fix this?

hi tactics, just to confirm with you. So, image handler is absolutely necessary for zen lightbox to work properly. I installed lightbox and all my other additional images do not appear. I also got error when i try to open the web with IE, with firefox, it seems to work fine, aside of the disappearing additional images.

Can someone advice how could I make next function automatic so images would change with certain interval?

see http://www.dolem.com/lytebox/index.htm

thanks for the help

I've got a serious problem after the install of LightBox 1.4:

Clicking on individual product pages it fails with the following php error:

Warning: main(includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_default.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/gezadmin/xlr8.hu/includes/templates/theme055/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 120

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_default.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/local/share/pear') in /var/www/gezadmin/xlr8.hu/includes/templates/theme055/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 120


As I've checked and tried to find the bug, I've found that tpl_product_info_default.php does not even exist in the newest zencart distribution.

What is this tpl_product_info_default.php, where can I find it to resolve the problem? Or anybody have an idea to ind a workaround for this?

Many thanks in advance:
Geza

Found the bug:

the missing file was /includes/modules/pages/product_info/main_template_vars.php file on my server server

I've overwrote modules/pages directories and not merged... :(((

Hi again.

I was trying again install zen lightbox to my shop, with the doublecheck and strict following of all installation (and upgrade) manuals. (deleted all previous lightbox files and installed newly zen LB 1.4)

Unfortunately LightBox Still not working - and don't even IH2 pop ups work.... Large images simply shown as picture files in my server... :(

(FYI: after my previous try I've set back the backup of my shop taken before install process, so this was a completely new try, and of course zen lightbox is enabled in admin)

Can anyone help? What might I did wrong? What file should I try to find the controller script of this - showing large pictures in lightbox- function?

I have only ZenAuction, IH2, Zen LightBox, Freeshipping And TinyMCE installed in my zencart system.

my shop is located at: http://www.xlr8.hu

Hi all,

I've reviewed this forum before installing the lightbox mod (lesson learnt from previous mods :smile:) and its clear that Javascript needs to be enabled on a user's browser for this to work.

My question is this, exactly how does it fail? Both with the lightbox for large images and the gallery for additional images. Does it failover back to some kind of standard behaviour, does it just refuse to show the image, or some other behaviour.

Thanks for your help.

Possum.

Hi again.

Just to test out this bug I've installed a brand new ZC on one of my free domains.

Its only pure ZC 1.3.7.1 and Zen LightBox 1.4 and IH2.


Server Info and admin:
http://married.hu/admin/server_info.php

login: admin
pass: admin

Lightbox still not working, but it puts the large image to the very bottom of the page. Is there any workaround to solve this problem?

kutigeza you might want to see if this is your problem.

PHP Code:

---

// Link Preparation:

and insert below it the following:

PHP Code:

---

// bof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-22
    if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_STATUS == 'true') {
    
    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="' . zen_lightbox($products_image_large, addslashes($products_name), LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, LARGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '" rel="lightbox[gallery]" title="' . addslashes($products_name) . '">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';
    
    } else {
            
    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';
    
    }
    // eof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-22 


---

Then directly under that, comment out the following line of code:

PHP Code:

---

$script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>'; 


---

so it looks like this;

PHP Code:

---

//    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';

I hope that helps, and I'm not treading on anyone's toes.

Great mod by the way, thanks.

This is a fantastic mod. Thank you so much again.

Still not work with that hack... :(((

I guess you will have to use one or the other. I know some of them have got it to work, but it takes time to track down the right file you are having trouble with. Sorry, I can not answer your question.

How exactly do I get lightbox to show multiple images? I have a file named n.jpg I want it to say next and show n1.jpg.

You'll need to setup multiple images with Zen Cart correctly. Please check the readme/documentation for Zen Lightbox v1.4 for more information.

Hi Alex I don't mean to have to re-ask this, but I have one question. Right under the Picture when you enlarge it, you have were it says larger image. The link is of centered. It wasn't like that before I installed lightbox. Could you point me in the right direction how to fix this

Sorry for not replying to your original question. I did try to view your website, but IE7 reported an error and would not load any of the product pages.

This error only appears when a product page is loaded after clicking on a product name or image from the product listing page. I can bypass the error by accessing the product page directly. It works fine in Firefox 2.

The error message reads as follows and appears in a warning message dialog box. After clicking on the ok button the usual 'This page cannot be displayed message' is shown.

Zen Lightbox shouldn't change the appearance or position of this 'larger image' link (at least I think it shouldn't).

Anyway... to change the style or position of this 'larger image' link you'll probably need to find the follow code in your stylesheet.

.imgLink

Editing the text-align property should sort things out.

Hope this helps! :)

Hi

Firstly, thank you for releasing this contribution - it works great.

What I want to know is how would you set about getting the lightbox to work with a gallery in Zen Cart. Specifically this one >>> http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=706

Its a shame to have the effect work for products but not for the gallery.

Thanks,

Jim.

Hi I have install the lightbox and put the new aditonal-image file, but I only get the popup and not het ligthbox when I click on the picture
Can some help me pleace

thanks a lot
Ellen

I think I am in over my head and I'm getting pretty frustrated. I can't get the second images to display in lightbox. The first image is perfect. The "next" button shows up, but then it just locks up.

http://www.mtcoffinz.com/Shop/index....roducts_id=186

All of the files are named correctly and stored in the same directory on my server.

Do you have to have IH2 installed also?

Any suggestions...I'm losing my mind!

Can you tell me whats happening here? I had another version of lightbox and I just wanted to reinstall it because I could never get additional images to work, and now its all messed up.

Ah I checked the product you point us to and no they are not in the same directory:
Your main image for the product is at http://www.mtcoffinz.com/Shop/images...rm_Warmers.jpg
and
the additional images is at
http://www.mtcoffinz.com/Shop/images/large/Arm_Warmers/Red_PVC_Corset_Arm_Warmers_01_LRG.jpg

thanks barco57 for the reply. I'm not sure that I understand. I don't have a folder for "Large" in the "Arm_Warmers" folder.

All of those image files are stored in one folder:
http://www.mtcoffinz.com/Shop/Images/Arm_Warmers/

The files are named:
Red_PVC_Corset_Arm_Warmers.jpg
Red_PVC_Corset_Arm_Warmers_01.jpg

What should I look for next?

Thanks for the contribution.

I have one small error with the add-on.

I have upped a pic as it's easier than trying to describe it.

Fixed it, never deleted the old files DOH!

Cirius,
try renaming Red_PVC_Corset_Arm_Warmers_01_LRG.jpg to Red_PVC_Corset_Arm_Warmers_01.jpg and see if that works.

The directory location that I put up in a previous post is what your site is reporting as the location of the images, I would suppose that the _LRG in the filename is telling the cart to look in the large directory for the image and that is not where you have it.

Hello, thank you for your light box.

I have one question to ask. How can I amend the bottom information on the top instead of on the bottom? Such as this website:http://www.ebuyer.com/product/133382...roduct_gallery

Where should I change?

Thank you so much.

Hi Ken,

I'm not sure exactly how this can be done at the moment. My initial thoughts would be to change the way that the lightbox is compiled (by editing the HTML code that the JavaScript creates in lightbox.js).

However, I'm planning to add this option (along with a long list of other new features and improvements) to the next version.

Hope that helps a little! :)

Thank you Alex,

Do you think if it is a good idea to add 2nd, 3rd, 4th image..etc at the bottom or side of the light box image? So customers can be more easy to choose which images they want to look at ..instead next and prev.......

Just suggestion.

Thank you for your help again.

Ken

Help!!!

I am trying to use animated gifs as a secondary image but 99% of the time, I get a black box where the image should be. Once in a blue moon, the small image works and shows the animation but most of the time, just a black box....

Any ideas?

thanks barco57,
I don't follow what you are saying. I don't have any files that are named "Red_PVC_Corset_Arm_Warmers_01_LRG.jpg"
I shouldn't have to rename the files and add the "LRG" at the end.

In the previous post the actual file names are listed. Should I place all the files in a different directory? I placed all the arm warmer pictures in a file called"arm_Warmers" Should I just lump all the files together in the images folder?

As always, help is appreciated!

Hi all! I have installed this cool add on to my site, but I am having a strange problem. When I click a product image to show the larger sized image, the lightbox pops up...but I have two large rectangles of empty space below it, that are encased in the white background of the lightbox, and the NEXT and PREVIOUS buttons don't work. :oops: Any thoughts? Please check it out here, I left it installed so you could see:

the chop haus DOT com

cirius,
ah ha, a clue, when I hover over the small additional image, in Firefox, I can see the file its trying to call.......and it appears that the cart is appending the _LRG to the file name....and being that the file doesn't exist, no display. This is what I see:
/Shop/images/large/Arm_Warmers/Red_PVC_Corset_Arm_Warmers_01_LRG.jpg I removed the http://.....

notice the _LRG

Try going to the images configuration and removing _LRG as the Product Info - Image Large Suffix and see what happens after that the only way I could fix it would be to gain access to the server myself to see whats going on. I haven't had the issues reported by other with the lightbox and IH2 together. I run heaven and earth designs and have never had a problem with either mod.

:clap: Thank you, your a star :clap:
I have been on for a week trying to solve this and was just about to give up. :cry:

I installed Zen Lightbox and it was easy.....Thanks......but it doesn't seem to be functioning?
I checked in admin >configuration and it's there and the "enable zen light box"
is set to "true".
Is there something else i should be doing?
Thanks in advance.:smile:

Hi! I have the same problem. What did you do to correct this? Thanks... :lamo:

Here: Attachment 2910.

It's zipped due to the forum uploading interface ignoring .rar files.

Thanks again for the suggestions Barco57.

Unfortunately, none of them helped. On your websites, you only have 1 image for each liusting right? My problem occurs when attempting to display the second, third, or fourth image. I can't even click directly on the images from the bottom of the listing. It hangs on the "flash" circle and won't display anything.

It looks like such a great add-on, and it seems to work for everyone else. I guess it's just not meant to be.

Does anyone else even have a similar problem like this? Would it help to delete everything and start again?

well its a bit wasteful on server storage but if you delete the large picture prefix, leaving it blank under configuration->images and then make a new directory in the images/large directory matching the one that you upload your normal pics to to, eg mine are uploaded to images/Products so i now have images/large/Products as well You can check this if you get the image location from one of the small extra images and look at the path, it will be images/large/DIR. DIR will be the name you need to make the new directory in the large directory. Now copy the images to both the original directory and the new one you made in large. the problem is now fixed hopefully.

Will anyone please explain and guide me how to uninstall the Lightbox 1.4 and also the sql codes. I have installed image handler 2 but it has stopped working due to recent installation of Lightbox 1.4.

I cant sort it out. so i am looking the easiest way to uninstall it. Many thanks.!!

Using IH2 with Lighbox 1.4 requires modification of some files…
In my case i saw the light after post #1873 of:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...35913&page=188

In a test site at emagneticsolutions.com, I have loaded a clean 1.3.7.1 with Image Handler 2 for 1.3.7 and all is fine.

When I add lightbox 1.4, the product image still shows in a popup window versus the lightbox.

The error files tell me that the system is looking for the JavaScript files in the template_defaults directory versus the custom template folder.

A little help in changing that call would be greatly appreciated.

In case this is helpful to anyone, this post explains how to turn on the lightbox for other product types (i.e. document product, document general, etc):

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...&postcount=522

How can I remove additional picture from item description?
So it just shows up when I click on "larger picture"

Thanks for the great Lightbox :clap:

One more thing....
Can the Lightbox be used on images I use on the "information" pages?

I installed zencart lightbox, made sure everything is valid. I'm still getting the header bar on top of the large product image. I'm new to php and css, I'm sure it's something simple but I can't find it. Would someone please help.

Thank you,
Jim

P.S. You can see what I'm talking about here.
http://www.mcgoverninvestments.com/d...nked-p-12.html
Click on the larger image link.

JMcGov,
The z-index for the light box is 100 and the z-index for the dropdown menu is 1000, putting the drop down menu above everything else. try setting the z-index for the div#dropMenu to 10 and see if that works.....I haven't tried it myself. You will have to play with the z-index settings to see what works.

BINGO!! Thank you :smile:

Whenever clicking on next for additional images or clicking on additional images on bottom of my page the lightbox freezes... What would cause this and is it possible to move position of the next button?

Hi all,

First, a big thanks to Alex for Zen Lightbox ... it certainly adds a touch of class to my site.

I've had some friends test-driving the site and the only criticism they have is that sometimes they don't see the "close" button on the lightbox and end up hitting the kill button on the window. Of course, then they drop completely out of the store, which is not exactly the idea :smile:

This is particularly so because some of my images are large and you have to scroll down to see the "close" button.

So here's my question. Does anyone know a way to disable the kill button on the browser window while the lightbox is open so people can only use the "close" button?

Thanks a lot for any thoughts you have.

Possum.
