Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[kenwvs]

I have installed Zen Lightbox version 1.4 today and have it working except for a couple of minor inconveniences. I have been trying it on IE7 and also have IH2 installed. I am new to ZenCart, and am still working on getting everything set up to turn it on.

1. The Close image at the bottom of the large image is just an X, no words.

2. I have the Close on Overlay Click set to True, but it will not close the image if you click on the picture. If you click on the area outside the picture it does close it.

I am sure these issues are the result of something I have done incorrectly and would appreciate any help in resolving them.

I am loving ZenCart, and also loving the add ons that I have added on, it makes the ecommerce venture relatively painless and enjoyable.

Thanks for the help!!

Any suggestions on how to get the two problems described above to work properly?

1. The Close image at the bottom of the large image is just an X, no words.

I solved this problem by making sure the Zen_Lightbox folder was inside the template_default folder.

The actual location is as follows

/public_html/install directory/includes/templates/template_default/images/Zen_Lightbox

I am not sure why it needs to be there, as I thought it was all running from my modified template directories, but what the heck, it works.

Now if I can figure out how to get the Large picture to close when clicking inside the picture. I have the setting set to TRUE, so am looking for ideas on this one. If I click outside the large picture it will close, but not from within the picture, which is what I thought was suppose to happen.

I'm having trouble with the lightbox. As is the case with many other users, it's caused my additional views. My additional views were working fine, but now they're starting to load REALLY slow when I try to access the next image. Often times, it'd just freeze.

I'm not sure why..

Hey folks,

I am having a problem with the overlay not covering the entire page. It seems to be short on the right side and the bottom side by about 20%. The page looks fine with Firefox but not with IE 7.0. Anyone have any suggestions?

You can check it out at www.penielproducts.com.

PS - The intent of the "Close On Overlay Click" button is to close the picture when the Overlay (darkened, faded background) is clicked on, not the picture itself. The two methods of closing the lightbox are with the "Close" button & the overlay. I don't know of a way to close it using the pic (like the standard popup method).

Thanks for future help!

Has anyone seen this problem before? I read someone else with the issue in this thread a while back, and Alex said he would look into it, but it didn't seem to go anywhere from there.

I am running 1.3.8a, IH2, and Lightbox 1.4. Everything else seems to be great except for this.

Anyone ... PLEASE !!!

I think that you have three problems

1) not all of your images are named properly (http://wishgiving.com/shop/images/bq028_01.jpg doesn't seem to exist) so they don't appear.

2) your server is very slow; it took about a minute to load this http://wishgiving.com/shop/images/rci001.jpg. (Godaddy by any chance?)

3) your images need to be optimised. That gold ring in the picture above is 200kb, it would look virtually the same if it was properly encoded at 50Kb
