Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[barco57]

Small images go in the images folder
_MED images go in the medium folder (used on product info page)
_LRG images go in the large folder (used for popup/lightbox)

for each additional image you will need to create a small version and a large version (medium images are not used with additional images), these additional images will go in the same directories as the product images......


PRODUCT IMAGES:
pic.jpg (small version) goes into images folder
pic_MED.jpg (medium) version goes into medium folder
pic_LRG.jpg (large) goes into large folder

PRODUCT ADDITIONAL IMAGES:
pic_01.jpg (small) goes into the images folder
pic_01_LRG.jpg (large) goes into large folder


Hope this helps........thats why I use Image Handler 2

with image handler you'll only need one image.....the large one.....and image handler will create the med and small versions..... the latest version of image handler works fine with 1.3.7......at least it has for me.......there have been some issues with image handler and lightbox but I have not experience these issues.....just lucky I guess or maybe its cause I read everything about a mod before I install it that way I know what to expect......In my case I loaded IH2 and made sure everything worked before I loaded lightbox. I also made sure that the image hover popup for IH2 was turned off as that seems to be an issue with lightbox, but I didn't need it anyway......

Hi barco

I have few Questions if you please can answer me before I install it

I will have a new store replacing this one, ( had lots of issue and it all new now)
You saying to first install the IH2 and after the lightbox?

“image hover popup for IH2 was turned off” from where will I do that ?

and should I have all my pictures in 1 size and what size are recommended ?

I saw your site very impressing

After you install IH2 in admin>configuration>images there controls for IH2 are there. You can make the large image whatever works for you but optimize them for the smallest file size and try not to make them to huge.......I hate to scroll.....with lightbox installed I try not to let the image I upload be bigger than 600px wide or 485px tall.....after that it depends on the product being shown....smaller is always better.....use your best judgement

[FONT=Times New Roman]Hi Barco[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I took your advice and I did not install the lightbox yet, not until I figure out the IH2[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I am trying to change the setting for bit larger for my S M L pictures, it is set in my admin /tools default size = 70x80 Medium= 88x100 Large=141x160[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I look in configuration, and play around in tools, but could not find a way to change the sizes[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Any idea?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I think I don’t have it install completely perfect, I can’t see the icon pictures in my admin, only when I click on preview I see the pop up picture, [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Should I re install it?[/FONT]

use the settings in admin>configuration>images......there should be settings for image handler there. Hint: when setting image sizes set either the width or height but not both.....unless you are sure that EVERY image you upload will have the same ratio width to height.....it easier to set on or the other and set the other to ZERO and let image handler work out the dimensions.......
