Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[Alex Clarke]

I'm sure this has been gone over before but I wasn't finding much in my search of the thread. Great mod with an easy install. My question is.. Is there a way to make the lightbox load the image on mouse over? It is cool but right now they have to click the image to open the product page and then click the image from the product page to load it. I understand this would be bandwith intensive, but I'd like to try it if possible.

This sounds like a good feature that I'll have to add. It should be fairly easy to implement.

I'll add this to the additions/features for v1.6, which I'm currently working on at the moment.

PM me if you would like me to work on this straight away for you (for a small fee/donation), or you can wait for the v1.6 release.

May I say hot dog!! and here is how I got it working...

I went to the cherry zen support thread and found this: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1080
Put in fix since that is the template my cart is based on
I uninstalled the SQL again
I reinstalled the SQL using phpMyAdmin - changing instances of configuration_group to zen_configuration_group

Now I need to figure out how to size my large pics

Thanks for the update.

Did you get any error messages when installing the SQL this time?

Also, I'll make sure that a fix for the Cherry Zen template is included in the v1.6 release. Thanks for pointing this out.

I found this bug when tried to upgrade into new version ! Please help me :

Just to confirm, you were running the install.sql by copying the text from the file and pasting it into the text area (Install SQL Patches) in the Zen Cart Admin, right?

It appears that a number of people are running into SQL errors during the installation.

I'm fairly sure that this is owing to the MySQL version (being 4).

My developement environment is based on the following:

• IIS 5.2 build 3790
• PHP 5.2.5 (Zend: 2.2.0)
• MySQL 5.0.51a-community-nt

I'll look into this installation issue and see if MySQL is unhappy with the script.

I was having the same problem and even with the fix it would not install the sql

what I did was add the zen_ to the cnfigurations EXCEPT the one right after [email protected] very first instance I left as is with just adding the zen_ to the others there.

It installed, and works however.....

when I go into admin>configurations>Zen Lightbox there are NO controls to set...only the column titles.

Are they not supposed to be visible?

I check database and the zen_configuration and zen_configuration_group have the lightbox info there:

zen_configuration:
close on image click
close on overlay click
close lightbox
overlay fade duration
zen lightbox
overlay opacity

zen_configuration_group:
zen lightbox (configure zen lightbox settings) is set to 1 as visible

i am running zencart 1.3.8a
mysql is 5.051a community
php version 4.4.8(zend:1.3.0)
php on server is 5.2.6

ideas how to get it to show up in the control panel of admin section?

Happy Holidays everyone!

Alex - I got errors, but I added the zen_ to the configure tables in the install codes as it gave errors and that fixed it.

Quick question... I got the size of my pics fixed, now I am wondering when you click on the item pic it pops up right in the box, but it says next and if you click that it shows the same pic. How do I get it to show another pic?

Just bumping my question.

Just bumping my question.

You still have some traces of the old Zen Lightbox code in your HTML output.

I've just seen this...

<!-- bof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-15 -->

It's important to completely uninstall any old versions of Zen Lightbox before using v1.5.

I would recommend that you remove all v1.4 files (download v1.4 again if you want a list of files to remove). When done, make sure that all v1.5 files are present and in the correct location.

Let me know how you get on and goodluck!

I just noticed something a little odd about our lightbox install when viewed in *shudder* IE6...

have a look at...
http://www.tradersupplies.co.uk/inde...roducts_id=234

Everything works fine, except the "prev" and "next" tabs are not appearing in IE despite the fact that there are multiple images.
I've noticed you can still skip between images though by clicking just above the little orange arrow next to the caption... i think some kind of formatting issue has forced all the link code down there.

Anyone ever experienced this? Not surprisingly every other browser we've tested this in works fine

UPDATE: it seems some products are showing prev/next tabs correctly whilst others aren't?!

[Dunk]

I've given up on the above... it seems like an intermittent problem which I can only put down to IE. Sometimes it shows the tabs correctly, sometimes it doesn't. But if someone has a version of IE6, could you confirm it's working ok in your browser?

Thanks

I am still in the initial setup phase of my site now. If I get it complete before 1.6 I might wan to take a look at this.
