Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[DivaVocals]

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Colorbox is the answer as there will be no further updates to this module as Slimbox which this module uses is old, outdated and unsupported..

I searched this thread to no avail....

Anybody have any idea how to use zen lightbox with the zen mailchimp newsletter plugin?

No luck on the zen mailchimp forum either.

thank you

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

anybody want to help?

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...

and what is being suggested is that you should be using Zen Colorbox.. As I have posted here MANY TIMES recently, (see a few posts above for my latest post) Zen Lightbox is OUTDATED and will not be UPDATED. You should be using Zen Colorbox instead of this plugin..

I know... did you know the core is Slimbox! like zen colorbox is jQuery Colorbox! The masters made it easy to intergrate into our sites..

you'll spend allot of time on Slimbox, which doesn't support loading forms (iframes) or use something that does support iframes... just trying to save you time!!
