Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[DarkAngel]

Hi everyone,

I'm running zencart version 1.3.9h and I was using lightbox version 1.5 then I upgraded to version 1.6 and the EZ-Pages stopped showing me the lightbox effect on photos and images I would like to show a larger view of.

Did everything by the book, added the jscript_zen_lightbox to the appropriate folder but no lightbox display.

Any help would be appreciated.

before you upgraded...did you remember to run the uninstall script and remove the files form your server and then upload the new ones?

Yes I did....I didn't skip one step, in fact it took some time to remove all the old files.....


Please feel free to visit my website and check it out www.aquafinatic.com. Once you are on the main page scroll down to the bottom where it says "Finatic Tailnews" on the big tab and click on it. You will see that there is a Compatability Chart and when you try to view the larger image the lightbox does not jump into effect.

Any ideas?......Thank you.

question about the chart

is it located within the body of the description and not as the main image like any other product should be?

if so then you have to add the bit of code for it when you post it in the description:

<a href="http://aquafinatic.com/images/Compatibility Chart Mini.jpg" rel="lightbox"><<img width="375" vspace="10" height="164" border="0" align="left" src="http://aquafinatic.com/images/Compatibility Chart Mini.jpg" ></a>

you of course change the size shown and alignment to your liking but this will give it thelightbox when clicked. You will also have to add the line to click image to view larger but doing it this way you just need the full grouwn image, thecoding will resize it to view prior to clicking for larger view.

I would also get into the habit of NOT using caps and spaces in the image names...like conpatibility_chart.jpg would be just right too

the code had too many << in it here is the right one and it is for within body and expages:

<a href="http://aquafinatic.com/images/Compatibility Chart Mini.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img width="375" vspace="10" height="164" border="0" align="left" src="http://aquafinatic.com/images/Compatibility Chart Mini.jpg"></a>

Thank you.

I do have one more question....What code would I need to have the lightbox go from one image to the other on that same page, without having to view one image, close lightbox and click on the next image.
Is that possible?

Thanks.

Hi Dark Angel,

Just wanted to ask again if there is such a thing of having the new lightbox show pictures one after the other, without having to close it each time (the same page you looked at before).It used to work with the old version, that's why I'm asking.

Thanks for your time.

in the code, try

rel="lightbox-g"

instead of

rel="lightbox"

Caps are fine in filenames. I use caps as a way to help make my filenames more readable for example: redTennisShoes.jpg

Spaces are the real no no.. Names of files used on a website should AVOID spaces.
