Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[Alex Clarke]

Zen Lightbox v1.5 has just been uploaded!

It will take up to 1 week before the file will appear in the Free Software Add Ons section. I'll be keeping an eye on things and post a link to the download once it's available.

Some exciting new features include being able to use the lightbox effect on any page (including EZ-Pages), multilingual support and keyboard navigation.

You'll find a complete list of changes below.

Version 1.5 - Release Date: 2008-12-18

• Added Caption Animation Duration admin switch

• Added Close on Image Click admin switch
• Added Display Image Counter admin switch

• Added title attributes (similar to alt text) to lightbox buttons
• Added uninstall.sql file
• Removed Border Size admin switch (this is now controlled by CSS)
• Removed DIV Class to Hide admin switch
• Removed Enable Resize Animations admin switch
• Removed header_php.php core file change
• Removed Hide Flash Objects admin switch (Slimbox handles this automatically)
• Updated blank entries in install.sql file to NULL
• Updated invalid characters in rel attributes of links (output code is now valid XHTML)
• Updated JavaScript code to classes to avoid source code duplication
• Updated lightbox code to Slimbox v1.67
• Updated modules to prevent JavaScript code from loading when Zen Lightbox is disabled
• Updated support for Zen Cart 1.3.8a and Image Handler 2.0_for_137

While we're waiting for the download to go live, I'd like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and hope you all have a great New Year too!

OK, nevermind the search problem. Figured that out.

Heres my problem.
ZC 1.3.8a
imagehandler2.0
lightbox1.4updated
I am trying to use image handler and lightbox together and have installed each seperatley to work just fine.
When i load IH2 first(and works fine) then i load lightbox and Image handler quits the hover image. Light box works just fine.
uninstall lightbox and image handler works again.
Is there a file or piece of code that conflict?
Can someone point me to the right file?

Hi, I renamed the folders to my template name & uploaded all the files in correct folder structure via FTP & then ran the sql install but my images still pop up in "windows" box

I followed the instructions.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Cheers

Thought I might add I add same issue with 1.4 updated - although i had that working on a "dummy run" not live site

My cart is 1.38a by the way & lightbox is in the configuration menu with all the options. Just won't light up for me?

FIX for conflict betwen
Zen_LightBox 1.5 and Image Handler 2
Image Handler's hover popup stops working when Lightbox is installed.

Simply move the Lightbox javascript files from your custom template folder

to the defult template folder.

Specifically; Move the Lightbox files,
zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js
AND
zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js
from
templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript/
to
templates/template_default/jscript/
