Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[drhiii]

I've poked around a great deal and I am not 100% comfortable knowing where the problem really lies. A WC3 Validator shows lots of errors that are coming out of files like attributes.php, but I am not sure this is really the whole story. Not beng a coder, I can't make qualitative judgements on it. Have been trying to get some interest from other smarter folks to be able to comment on this because it is a real problem. I will continue to try and understand what is going on, but for the moment, we need to keep asking for help until the calvary arrives.

Lightbox or Slimbox + Flash on site = NO NO, you will get Operation Aborted on IE

I installed a straight up ZenCart site with no addons except for the Gallery2 Bridge. It does not do anything with Java, just pulls the images from the Gallery2 repository site. And I get the I.E. failures. This is what is so perplexing. A straight ZC install works, but the bridge introduces these abberations. Sigh...

I didn't have flash on my site when I was getting the aborted problem. I still don't!

I don't think I've flash on my site either.
Just used the Developers Tool Kit. Only flash i can find is from jscript_zen_lightbox.php

I am not sure what is conflicting with IE but I've solved the issue of product page unable to load by deleting this file:
\includes\modules\pages\product_info\jscript_zen_lightbox.php

Now my website uploads in IE but Lightbox is disabled/not working.

I compared the different pages (product page vs catalog page) and the difference i found was the above code. Once the above code was taken out, the product page loads fine but without the functions of Lightbox. I really like the Lightbox function and I hope that someone can look into the above code and see if it is IE compatible. Thanks!

Hm, that's interesting. I may try to remove it and see what happens. I can't even get the image attributes to display with this Gallery2 bridge in place. Thought that was very odd. But will give this a shot.

Is too bad about Lightbox too. That is a nice thing. Dunno how many times Microstuff and I.E. have raised their ugly head and bt me in the arse.

I'm sure this has been answered but I've been searching through this thread for awhile now looking for an answer to no avail. How would I enable Lightbox on EZ pages?

What file did you remove this code, From? tx
