Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[bigdiogi]

The "on hover" effect you've added to your EZ Page images is not a feature that either ZLB or IH2 will provide. This explains WHY I was confused. Though you have a solution to your "issue", as it turns out the "issue" you had is not related to EITHER of these modules.. (ZLB or IH2)

I'm tempted to apologize for wasting everyone's time with my "issue", though I thought trying to get help with our "issues" was the purpose of the forum. I search for a minimum of an hour through the forums before I post to try to prevent asking the same questions over and over. I skim the FAQs. I search the web. I fiddle and try various solutions that occur to me. THEN I ask for help.

The Zoom functionality included in IH is covered in the Read Me after the Acknowledgments. That's why I missed it, thought I had read everything I needed to read.

Obviously, you have knowledge and experience superior to my own on these issues. Many, many do - as I've stated previously. 'Thanks so much for the lecture. Really needed that.

Wasn't chastising or giving lectures, nor anything else you may have thought was behind my post.. Clearly you read a LOT more into my post than what was actually written..

I was simply trying to add some clarifying statements to this line of discussion for those following this thread. 'Tis all..

Some folks like me may have been a tad confused and weren't getting a full grasp of what the issue was or if there really was an issue with either of these mods (ZLB or IH2).. Your initial posts gave the impression that one or more of these modules was not functioning as they are intended to function. As I'm sure you know, the purpose of this support thread is to help folks when there are issues with the ZLB module.

I wanted to make sure it was clear for anyone else following either one of these support threads (ZLB or IH2) or using either one of these mods that the issue you found wasn't truly an issue in the traditional sense. ZLB or IH2 ARE indeed functioning as they should. They just do not provide a particular bit of functionality you were looking for..

I think where the confusion is coming in for many is that bigdiogi wanted the lightbox feature on his ez pages, which you can do with ZLB.

BUT, he wanted this effect on hover, because he thought that was how ZLB worked...

I think he didn't realize that IH2 affects images on hover, whereas ZLB affects images on click....yet both don't necessarily affect the same images....ez pages images being a prime example.

Even with all the wonderful documentation out there, a novice might become easily confused about clicks and hovers and "who does what to whom", so to speak.

And I totally agree that as cool as the on hover is with IH2 (I so love that feataure!), it's greatest value lies with image management (fewer images to upload, no hassling with image file suffixes, faster loading times, less cost re: bandwidth usage, etc)

Both of these mods are awesome, and especially so once one figures out how they are different yet complimentary... because from there, one can easily get to a place where they are using both to their fullest advantage
