Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[helloUK]

Thank you Alex,CES, Climax, Sigel. It is really working with IH2 now although no hover. But it is working at least. Thank you so much.

Step 1:

If someone still has problems with ZenCart 1.3.7.1, ImageHandler 2.0 and Zen Lightbox 1.4 here is what i did to fix it:

locate the file "additional_images.php" it should be in your includes\modules\"template_name_dir".

Go to line 23 and remove the ". '$'".
The line should look now like this:
$products_image_base = str_replace($products_image_extension , '', $products_image);

Thats it. Hope it helps others.

Cheers,
Climax

Step2:

How I got around the problem was to ignore the additional_images.php file that came with the mod and copied the core zen additional_images.php file into the override folder: /includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/

Then find line 92

    // Link Preparation:

and insert below it the following:

	// bof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-22
	if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_STATUS == 'true') {
	
    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="' . zen_lightbox($products_image_large, addslashes($products_name), LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, LARGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '" rel="lightbox[gallery]" title="' . addslashes($products_name) . '">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';
	
	} else {
			
    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';
	
	}
	// eof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-22

Then directly under that, comment out the following line of code:

$script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';

so it looks like this;

//    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';

I hope that helps, and I'm not treading on anyone's toes.

Great mod by the way, thanks.

This is a fantastic mod. Thank you so much again.

The first Lightbox image works and looks great, but it hangs on the second image. any suggestions.

It's a clean install of Zen. All of the files are stored in the same directory and they are named with suffixes of _01, _02...

Thanks for any replies

Hello anyone,

I set up light box with Zen Cart 1.37 1 with HI 2(0916). However, it looks like HI does not work with Light box?! Also, when I clicked the product info-image, only the main image works fine for light box but I do not have the "NEXT Button" to look at the other images. (I used HI2 to add extra images.) Please see my website.

Could anyone help me about HI2 and Light box issue? Could anyone know how I can show the next button?

Thank you so much.

Ken

It looks like there is a bug with this release of Zen Lightbox.

To get the images (next, previous and close buttons) to display, you'll need to copy the zen_lightbox folder (found in includes/templates/your-template-name/images) to includes/templates/template_default/images. That should sort it out for you. I'll be fixing this issue in the next release.

What problems were you experiencing with Zen Lightbox and IH2?

Alex,

This is just awesome! Websites couldn't look more professional. Thank you for your time and effort, I tell you, they all worth the result.

Other than it's eye candy, it protects the images as well. Although not impossible, it's more difficult to save images when they are displayed in this lightbox.

Great stuff man.

Glad you like it! To protect your images further you can always add a watermark using IH2.
