Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[Website Rob]

Thanks Rob,
I have it on my to-do list for the next version to add a check to see if jQuery is already loaded (from another plugin) and if so, then not to load the one for ZLB. That should resolve this issue too.

Not sure exactly how you plan to go about your checking but here is something to consider.

jQuery must load before any scripts to be used with it. As Linux will list alphabetically and thus, Zen Cart will load alphabetically, I've had to use a naming schema like: jscript_1jquery.js in order to have a correct a load sequence.

I am very new to this, I have just installed light box and it is working great, but my issue is with the gallery

How do I link the images together so you can scroll through them?
Sorry if this has been asked before but could not find the answer

thanks

I've installed the module and run the sql query but the Lightbox menu in Admin -> Configuration is not showing up. Lightbox functionality is working on my site, but it's just not configurable in the admin panel. If anyone has run into this problem, please let me know how you fixed it.

I'm running version 1.3.9a

Never seen that before. On most of the installs I have done it shows as the last menu option in the configuration menu. Never tried it on 1.3.9a specifically, but 1.3.9h (the current) it works fine.

I've checked the database tables configuration and configuration_group and they have all the references to zen_lightbox in them 1 additional row in configuration group and 21 additional rows in configuration. But it's still not showing on Admin panel.

Could it be because my installation of zen cart is in a directory other than the root? My installation is in www.mermagica.com/store... wouldn't think this would come into play, but I'm not sure.

Hi Joe,
I just made a test installation of 1.3.9a and installed ZLB and it shows in the menu just as it should.
Did you run the install in phpMyAdmin or in the ZC admin area?
You could run the uninstall.sql file (preferably in phpMyAdmin) and then re-run the install.sql (preferably in phpMyAdmin) file and see if that helps.
Not sure where the issue could be coming from as the sub directory shouldn't be a problem as far as I know.

In my experience if you run scripts to support any add-on in phpMyAdmin, the result is that things will not work correctly.. I ALWAYS run install, update, and uninstall scripts that come with any add-on from the Zen Cart SQL Query Executor in the admin area.

Running the ZLB script in phpMyAdmin instead of the SQL Query Executor, would insert the records into the DB without the table prefix (unless you manually modify the ZLB script to include the table prefix). This would mean that the ZLB configuration menu will be missing..

If you run the script from the Admin > Tools > Install SQL Packages then it will properly append the table prefix and the ZLB configuration setting will appear in Admin > Configuration.

If joe.davila did indeed install the ZLB script from phpMyAdmin, I suggest running the uninstall from phpMyAdmin (to remove the errant entries from his DB) and then go to Admin > Tools > Install SQL Packages and copy and past the contents of the ZLB install.sql file there and re-run the install script this way. ZLB should then show up in the Admin > Configuration menu.

Since I upgraded from 1.5 to 1.6 my lightbox no longer works on custom pages. Obviously somehting to do with my html. When I was using 1.5, this worked well:

<a href="http://www.silkblooms.co.uk/map%20coverage.jpg" rel="lightbox"

<img border="2" src="http://www.silkblooms.co.uk/map%20coverage.jpg" width="300" height="301"></a>

Now I'm just seeing a blank where the image used to be.... What should I change it to now?

Generally you just need gallery mode enabled in the ZLB admin area.
can you post a link to your site?
