Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

JMcGov,
The z-index for the light box is 100 and the z-index for the dropdown menu is 1000, putting the drop down menu above everything else. try setting the z-index for the div#dropMenu to 10 and see if that works.....I haven't tried it myself. You will have to play with the z-index settings to see what works.

BINGO!! Thank you

Whenever clicking on next for additional images or clicking on additional images on bottom of my page the lightbox freezes... What would cause this and is it possible to move position of the next button?

Hi all,

First, a big thanks to Alex for Zen Lightbox ... it certainly adds a touch of class to my site.

I've had some friends test-driving the site and the only criticism they have is that sometimes they don't see the "close" button on the lightbox and end up hitting the kill button on the window. Of course, then they drop completely out of the store, which is not exactly the idea

This is particularly so because some of my images are large and you have to scroll down to see the "close" button.

So here's my question. Does anyone know a way to disable the kill button on the browser window while the lightbox is open so people can only use the "close" button?

Thanks a lot for any thoughts you have.

Possum.

Just click the back button in your browser.

Thanks for your input Sharx, but its not me hitting the kill button thats the problem. Its my visitors. Is there some way I can stop a visitor from using the kill button when an image is being shown in the lightbox?

Cheers,

Possum

Possum,
In a word.....NO. I can't imagine the nightmare that would be created if there was a way to disable the "kill" button. How about shrink large image size so that the image fits on the average screen real estate. I would also suspect it wouldn't be to much trouble to copy the code for the lightbox close function to the top of the display also, so you would have close buttons top and bottom.

Hi, I have got this problem. I installed the Image Handler 2 and I use the preview function of IH2. I installed the Zen LightBox 1.4 today and the IH2 preview stoped working. Do you know, how to solve this problem, please ?

[TomCZ]

So I fixed the issue from my previous post. The problem was that I coppied the files from YOU_TEMPLATE to my tamplate DARKNESS folder. I tried to copy the files to TEMPLATE_DEFAULT and it works, BUT....


I have got the IH2 previews, but if I click the main product image or aditional image it does not work. There is no reaction to the mause click.

Hi barco57,

I hadn't thought about the possibility of people misusing that option, but now that you point it out, I understand why it's not possible.

I like the idea of setting a close box at the top right of the lightbox. I don't have control over the images that are shown so can't be sure of the sizes, but the code is mine to manage.

Thanks,

Possum.
