Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[niestudio]

The part in red is:
define('DB_PREFIX', 'zen_');

Did you copy and paste the install script into zc admin or use the upload button?

Other users have had better luck with copy/paste.

I NEVER use upload.. Only copy/paste.. Works every time..

you need to change the sql installation file to have that as part of the coding for it to work or go to myphpadmin for installing directly into the database if you can't get it to work in admin of store

Should be NO reason why anyone would need to manually modify this script and run it in phpAdmin.. That said making the changes you suggest will only work if you run if you are running the script in phpAdmin.. If you add the prefix as you suggest and run the script in the store admin, the script will fail or cause errors.

I had the problem with failed sql upload when installing from version 1.5 to 1.6, so think about doing an UNINSTALL from 1.5 using the uninstall.sql before you do install v1.6.

that being said, i have a question: in v1.6 the label images are now under /images and only available in english. i have the labels in french and german in the /templates/MY_TEMPLATE_NAME, but that is not helping - in the french or german version, i still see the close/previous/next labels in english.
Any hint to how to fix this?

thanks a bunch!

Further to http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=2703

here is my solution to move the Prev/Next buttons clear above image and then restore truncated bottom of image.

includes\classes\zen_lightbox\autoload_default.php
Line 23 was

<?php if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_CLOSE_IMAGE == 'true' || ZEN_LIGHTBOX_PREV_NEXT == 'true') { echo '<style> #lbPrevLink, #lbNextLink {display: block; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 63px; height:32px!important; outline: none;} #lbNextLink {right: 0; background: transparent url(images/zen_lightbox/nextlabel.gif) no-repeat 100% 15%;} #lbPrevLink {left: 0; background: transparent url(images/zen_lightbox/prevlabel.gif) no-repeat 0 15%; } </style>';}?>

now (note the minus sign)

<?php if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_CLOSE_IMAGE == 'true' || ZEN_LIGHTBOX_PREV_NEXT == 'true') { echo '<style> #lbPrevLink, #lbNextLink {display: block; position: absolute; top: -32px; width: 63px; height:32px!important; outline: none;} #lbNextLink {right: 0; background: transparent url(images/zen_lightbox/nextlabel.gif) no-repeat 100% 15%;} #lbPrevLink {left: 0; background: transparent url(images/zen_lightbox/prevlabel.gif) no-repeat 0 15%; } </style>';}?>


includes\templates\YourTemplate\css\stylesheet_zen_lightbox.css
was

#lbImage {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
border: 10px solid #fff;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

#lbPrevLink, #lbNextLink {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
width: 50%;
outline: none;
}

now

#lbImage {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 22px; /* 0 */ /* May need to be increased to 32px to clear border thickness, if coloured differently. */
border: 10px solid #fff;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding-bottom:12px; /* added to restore bottom of image */
}

#lbPrevLink, #lbNextLink {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: -32px; /* 0 */ /* Note the minus sign */
width: 50%;
outline: none;
}

Hope this helps.

I just uploaded zen lightbox and am having issues with getting it to run. I've uploaded the files to the correct places. I've created the custom folders. I wasn't able to copy and paste the sql files for some reason (I never have been able to do that), but I did have my server guy install the sql patch directly. Zen Lightbox is showing up under my Configuration in zen admin, but when I click on it I get taken to a blank page that states Zen Lightbox at the top, but no install options. What went wrong?

[RNRN]

Disregard. Apparently, nothing further has to be done. I just clicked on some images and they come up in the lightbox. Should have checked sooner. I just didn't expect it to be that simple.

Sorry but if you see nothing on that config page then i think there is still something wrong, even if it is working.

I would go to the server and manually check each and every folder to ensure all go loaded into the right spot.

Once the files have been uploaded and the sql installed then you should see its settings page...to change colors and such if you want to match your template and to turn it on.

a link also is always helpful to getting even better knowledged peeps in here

Hi,

If you want to manage multiple language support for Zen Lightbox I made some changes in code.

Feel free to use the following attachment.

Of course, you need to duplicate all english directories of the module in the same place with the correct language name you use.
In the new language directories, make changes as necessary (texts and images).

Files changes:

includes\classes\zen_lightbox\autoload_default.php
includes\templates\template_default\common\html_header.php

***********
* WARNING *
***********

html_header.php come from v1.3.9h (I haven't test it because I still use a previous zen-cart version)

If you still use a previous zen-cart version, do not use html_header.php included in the attachment, but you can just add the folowing code in the file includes\templates\template_default\common\html_header.php like you can see in the attachment:

<?php
/**
* load all template-specific stylesheets, named like "style*.php", alphabetically
*/
$directory_array = $template->get_template_part($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'css'), '/^style/', '.php');
while(list ($key, $value) = each($directory_array)) {
$tmpcssdyn = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--'."\n";
$tmpcssdyn .= 'document.writeln(\'<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'css') . '/' . $value . '?charset=' . CHARSET . '&language=' . $_SESSION['language'] . '" />\');'."\n";
$tmpcssdyn .= '//--></script>'."\n";
echo $tmpcssdyn;
}

includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER\css\stylesheet_zen_lightbox.css

File added:

includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER\css\stylesheet_zen_lightbox.php


Enjoy ;)
