Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[countrycharm]

Hi ironcross hope you are well today. I fix my problem in the data base. I still don't know whats causing that extra image. I just deleted the nextlabel image and the prevlabel image in zen lightbox images so they want see the next button anymore. Anyway I thought I would mention it to you.

Countrycharm, I'm not sure if your last reply was directed towards me, but I'm fine none-the-less. Hope your doing well also.

I let the lightbox includes folder override the includes in my localhost htdocs folder and it over-rode everything. Now I have to reinstall Zen_Cart. That's what I'm afraid of on my live server. I can back it up and go for it, but it makes me a little nervous. As far as whats on my localhost, no big deal. It's not an exact ############## of what's on my live server. Simply for testing purposes. I can start from scratch.

Dbltoe, I am using a store bought template and changing it to my tastes. If what you say is true, that would be truely a bummer as I am only using Image Handler and Lightbox so far and there are may mods I'd like to use.

ironcross that last commit was aimed at dbltoe sorry about that, but I do hope you are well too. Anyway If dbltoe is right about your Template then I don't know what to tell you to do. I know these templates on zen cart the only thing that zen lightbox over-rides is tpl_modules_main_product_image. So if over-riding the includes file messes you up I don't know what to tell you.

[ironcross]

No worries. It just would be nice to have my additional images do that cool lightbox effect. I'll try Hoverbox or keep toying around till something works.

If anyone else knows how to make Lighbox work with a store bought template, please let me know. If I find a fix to get this thing working, I'll post... till then.

Much regards

ironware,
search the forum with the name of your template provider and you may find some insight as to whether or not you can make it work. If you're using a Template Monster template the outlook is bleak at best.

I have found that IH2 and lightbox is not workable on my new sites using 1.3.8a and 5.2+ PHP. Probably something in the lightbox code.

I have taken most of them to Fual slimbox or disabled lightbox altogether.

Sorry about all your trouble. Yes hoverbox is good also try
Fual Slimbox (Lightbox)

Hi Countrycharm and dbltoe. I was able to get fual slimbox to work. The effect works perfectly. I had to place each file into their respective folders. The only sub-directories was in my custom template images and jscript folder. I think what made the difference was removing the additional_images.php file from the modules folder, then uploading the slimbox additional_images.php to the modules folder. Same method for the tpl_modules_main_product_image.php from the templates folder within my custom template folder. When I did this it worked. When I was overwriting the files, for some reason it didn't work. Anyways, persistance pays off.

Heres the site if you would like to check it out.
