Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[niestudio]

By the way the following information may needed.

My environment is as below.
Zencart version: 1.3.9h
Lightbox version: 1.6.2_20110220

Hopefully these 2 are compatible. Please suggest.

They are compatible.
there are good instructions in the IH3 read me about installing it with ZLB, but basically you need to OVERWRITE [includes/modules/your_template/additional_images.php] with the one from ZLB.

Let me highlight this again..

Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of communication from me recently... been snowed under with work.

I'm working on a new release of ZLB that should be out in the next few days.

As soon as it's been uploaded to the add-ons area I'll let you all know.

All the best,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Will your new version contain all the fixes and modifications that have been shared and discussed in this thread?

I ask because I don't want to replace the version I'm using (which includes the fixes and modifications) with the new version unless it is the same or better than what I have - which works fine for me.

Also, will you be working on an update for the new version of ZC?

[Alex Clarke]

The new version will be based on FancyBox, using jQuery.

Before each release I read any outstanding posts on this thread and try to resolve any issues mentioned.

Some of the new functionality to look forward to (when compared to my last release of ZLB, which was 1.5) is...

• the ability to automatically load the lightbox when the page loads
• inline content and flash objects can now be displayed within the lightbox
• more admin controls to easily customise the lightbox
• highly optimised code to reduce server load and page load times
• compatability with IH3 and CSS Loader
• login, newsletter signup and EZ-Pages can be displayed within a lightbox

I'll post a full change log here once I've finished testing.

Talking of testing, if anyone would like to trial the beta of this then please let me know and I'll send a copy over before public release.

As for future updates, I'll make sure these are available. Once I've release this version of ZLB I'll get to work on a new version to ensure compatibility with ZC 1.5. :)

If you have any further questions then please ask.

All the best,

Alex

Just so I'm clear.. When you say you "read any outstanding posts on this thread" do you also take into account any versions of ZLB which may have also been submitted in your absence??

I ask because like ScriptJunkie and many others, we have been using for some time now version 1.6.x of ZLB (submitted by Daniel's AKA niestudio). Will the improvements made in the currently available version of ZLB (v1.6.2) be taken into consideration when you submit the next revision???

What I'll do is read this entire thread from when I posted about the release of ZLB 1.5. I'll then check all the issues that people have reported against my latest release.

This will ensure that I include any improvements/updates that may have been introduced in my absence.
