Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[mc12345678]

Diva, I was so excited to see this because I have such a thing happening when writing reviews and then being redirected to that page when done---I am trying to get a confirmation placed within the body and not the header.

I do not have TPP installed at all.

sadness---it did not work for me

so I added a bandage to your bandage...LOL I removed

Do I understand this correctly then, you don't have TPP installed, but you do have what, Zen Lightbox installed? And with Zen Lightbox active or inactive are you getting the extra model info as a result of $reviews->fields['products_model'] having data in it? Is the show products_model option off in the associated template's product type description? I can't say that I've used the review option, so not sure what settings are offered by default for control of what is passed on.

Here's the deal.. Reviews are a built in Zen Cart feature.. You "turn on" the reviews features by either activating the reviews sidebox or by showing the reviews buttons on the product information page by turning them on in the admin (Catalog > Product Types > [Product Type])
The Show Model Number option On/Off from the Catalog > Product Types > [Product Type] applies to whether or not the the model number will be displayed in the product details section of the product info page.

<!--bof Product details list  -->
<?php if ( (($flag_show_product_info_model == 1 and $products_model != '') or ($flag_show_product_info_weight == 1 and $products_weight !=0) or ($flag_show_product_info_quantity == 1) or ($flag_show_product_info_manufacturer == 1 and !empty($manufacturers_name))) ) { ?>
<ul id="productDetailsList" class="floatingBox back">

  <?php echo (($flag_show_product_info_weight == 1 and $products_weight !=0) ? '<li>' . TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT .  $products_weight . TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT . '</li>'  : '') . "\n"; ?>

The issue I was reporting was that on the products review pages the model number was not displaying correctly.. It's not extra information and there is no option to turn the model number off/on on the product reviews pages. The reviews pages will display the model number based on whether or not the model number field is NOT null.. I always thought that the issue with the model number display was cause by a combination of TPP and Zen Lightbox being installed.. Based on Dark Angel's post, it sounds like this issue occurs even when TPP is not installed.. (I need her to confirm this)

Well, I certainly feel at a loss at the moment, not being in front of a device that would allow me to look up code. So, sounds like the Zen Lightbox installation adds the ability to show additional information based on the model number of the reviewed product being filled in; however, doesn't offer any additional flag(s) to prevent display of that additional information. (Thought the additional info was model number data, but I think I was corrected on that above by Diva Vocals). Other than allowing ZLB to work on the reviews page, I am not sure why there would be a need for everyone to have code that would show this "errant" data. It may have been something that just got slipped in when packaging the update.

As I said I'm not in front of a device that works with code, but was wondering how that header compared to the default header. It may be that the header just needs to have that logic check undone and restored to the default version.

It may also be that an option should be added to the ZLB configuration area to allow showing the model info when it is present for the product. I say that because if the option isn't in the default files, and only appears in ZLB, then it should be controlled by ZLB, otherwise a similar option could be added to the template style, but then that would have to be carried over with ZC upgrades.
