Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[algerdes]

The default behavior for the lightbox software is for the prev/next buttons to show up when you mouse over.
there is a setting in ZenLightbox where you can have the buttons show up all the time, did you try that?

In my case the default behavior for the lightbox is set to show all the time.
The "Next" and "Prev" still do not show up until you mouse over them.
Is there anything else we can look for?

Since, in our situation, we need these to be on all the time, can the code be set to leave them on no matter what? (Just an idea.)

Note that I have tried every combination that I can think of with the "Close on Image Click" and "Close on Overlay Click" with no luck. The Next/Prev buttons still only appear when moused over.

you should post a link to your site too as well as make sure all files were uploaded to your server.

what version of cart are you using and what version of lightbox too

[algerdes]

To the best of my knowledge all files have been uploaded.
The add-on works great except for the prev/next not sticking.
The zip package is marked zen_lightbox_1-6-3_1-5a.
I'm able to replicate this behavior on the site itself (mythreejewelz.com) and on my local/test system.
Note that they were independent installations, not cloned one to the other.

Thanks for any advice you can send my way.

ok, went to your store and is this a purchased template? First time seeing the additional images at the top of the page vs the bottom of description page.

I tried the one on http://www.mythreejewelz.com/index.p...&products_id=4

and the first image gives no lightbox, the other two do but they do not go from one to the other like they should, could you post your settings in admin?

The template is Avonlee_Contempo, a free offering from Picaflor-Azul. Anne did a great job modifying the page so that all images showed on the same line instead of having secondary location below the description. (A request from the store owner.)

I clicked on the link as you have it and was able to get the lightbox to work on all three images. Can you tell me your browser and any other information as to the time you could not get the first one to work. I'll try to duplicate and find the cause.

Be aware that the problem with the prev/next icons appeared before we modified the template to what you see.


These are the settings under lightbox.
Once again, all we are trying to do is get the next/prev buttons to stay obvious (not hide).

Thanks for your assistance. It still has me baffled.

Did you try the fix suggested this morning yet?

I've searched and searched but cannot find the right info for this and most of the posts are way too old anyway.
I'm using V1.5 zencart and IH4. I also have Lightbox installed and everything is working properly.
I want to have my images loop after the last one is displayed.
The next button drops off after the last image is displayed as normal.
I want the next button to continue to be displayed and the last image to wrap back to the first image.
Also previous button to display on first image and wrap back to the last image.
Essentially a continuous looping process for the previous and next buttons.
Has anyone posted a solutions for this that I could reference or are there any new simple solutions out there.
I tried Slimbox but it will not display more that one image at a time in Firefox and jumps out of Slimbox on additional images in IE.

I FOUND IT!

As I was following the remainder of the thread, advice was given to check that there were two copies of the next/prev icons.
I found one of the directories was empty. Copied files from the templates specific to the general directory and everything started to work as we need it to.

Thank you to all that tried to help.

[algerdes]

Yep. It is what sent me to look at the different directories and their contents.
Apparently I had the wrong permissions to the subdirectory. What I copied earlier did not make it and like others I was really tired so I did not notice.

Thank you for your time, knowledge, and assistance.
And thank you for the add-on update.
