Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[Alex Clarke]

Alex - that takes off the next and prev off the main pic and will work untill you release the next. Thank you!

Thanks for the update. The next release will probably be out before Zen Cart 2.0.0.

didn't work yet, maybe i explain me in a bad way


installation seems to be ok, no error adding sql trough phpmyadmin

but when i go in admin section, setting does not display

You should be running the install.sql code via your Zen Cart Admin (as per the installation instructions).

Running the code via phpMyAdmin is fine, but only if you manually update your table names (if you use prefixes).

Try running the code via your Zen Cart Admin and see what happens.

Hello,

A new user here, we have a new zencart that has been implemented and i installed he zen lightbox yesterday. Works like a charm, however i have 1 issue, that perhaps someone could shed some light

1- If my product has no attributes defined, the lighbox works fine. ex here

2- However if my product has attributes defined, the image still opens up in a pop up. Ex here


We use the same product image for the attributes but for some reason the lighbox wont be triggered for these products.

Please any suggestions would be great

Thanks

I just upgraded to 1.5, I am still having the same issue where images which have an attribute defined are still opening up in a popup, ones that are without the Attributes open just fine in a Light Box. I hope the contributor on this feature can help me out..


ex. without attribute (Opens in a lightbox)

Ex with attribute (Opens in a Pop Up)

Hi Ameet,

You've got a few errors on your site. I recommend that you fix these. Try installing Firefox and using the FireBug addon to locate the problems.

An existing contribution that's installed may be causing a conflict with Zen Lightbox here.

Can you list all the contributions you have installed please?

Thanks,

Alex

Installed Lightbox (copied) all files according to instructions, but got this error messages (after updating the install.sql):

1146 Table 'netkompa_zc4.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Does anybody know what it means, please?

Copied the: jscript_zen_lightbox.php, to root (/public_html/). Was that the right thing to do?

How did you run this SQL code? Via your Zen Cart Admin or phpMyAdmin?

The jscript_zen_lightbox.php file should not be placed on the root. It is required only if you need to use the lightbox effect on extra pages. Please check the readme.html file for more information.

Can use external links with Lightbox?

Yes, this should be possible.

Try setting up an EZ-Page with a link to an external image.

It should work... but I've not tried it yet!

my info is a couple of pages back and like many others when doing the sql I got the same error that the others did when inserting it in the ZenCart Admin section.

I did however insert it into the database via MySQL by adding the prefix for my tables but I still have nothing in the admin section for settings.

What can I do, oh I did recheck for the millionth time (it feels that way...lol) to make sure all the files are in the correct place and all former version should not still be hiding either.

What else is there for me to do...as I said the lightbox feature works but no settings to be found on the page in admin section...and yes have verified the tables are in the database.

[DarkAngel]

disregard my post I got it to show in the admin panel.

1. went into server and deleted everything again from the uploading of files and made sure all old version was gone too.

2. ran the uninstaller from MyphpAdmin

3. uploaded new files once more to proper places

4. Ran the sql installer from MyphpAdmin by adding the prefix_ infront of the main parts and it said it installed successfully

went into admin for my store and lo and behold there are the admin setting to change if need be.

hope that helps someone else...I forgot to mention that no matter what I did the admin section would not let me insert the sql coding at all.

I got this problem too....

yup, this is probably the case of some path invalid or smth.

TS, may want to relook at the code

- i query into the mysql via the Zencart DB interface, but still doesnt work.
let me know again once your are done, for now, i will uninstalled it.

[newfu]

it shoudl be zen. NOT netkompa_zc4

1146 Table 'netkompa_zc4.configuration_group' doesn't exist

[SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';]

Is netkompa_zc4 the name of the table?

or is zc4 the prefix to the tables through the entire netkompa database? If yes then leave that part off

I will write here the first part of the sql so that I can color code what I did via the myphpadmin and sql section there. If at all possible do the changes to your sql installation doc that came with the lightbox then install the sql info thru myphpadmin by copy --paste into the window it provides.

that is how I got it to work. if you removed the files then return them to the server...check your store admin section to make sure you do not have the lightbox shown in the admin section cause each time we try to add the sql thru the zen admin it creates a link in there that is useless.

If you have those then you will need to find them in the database and delete those.

This is the main first section of the sql installer file:

[b]INSERT INTO `zen_configuration_group` VALUES (NULL, 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox settings', '0', '1');
UPDATE `zen_configuration_group` SET `sort_order` = LAST_INSERT_ID() WHERE `configuration_group_id` = LAST_INSERT_ID();

SELECT @cgi := `configuration_group_id` FROM `zen_configuration_group` WHERE `configuration_group_title` = 'Zen Lightbox';

INSERT INTO `zen_configuration` (`configuration_id`, `configuration_title`, `configuration_key`, `configuration_value`, `configuration_description`, `configuration_group_id`, `sort_order`, `last_modified`, `date_added`, `use_function`, `set_function`) VALUES[b]

Change yours to be the table prefix where the words are red. then "save as" your file as "install2.sql" without the quotation marks so that you know it is the doctored file.

The go to myphpadmin and click the sql tab for your table and paste the info into it and tell it to install.

It should work now...I say should because sometimes things still wont behave themselves.

Thank you, DarkAngel!

You must have just posted while I was creating mine...

I used your edited script and changed it to match mine. Thing is, your table prefixes were in the same places where I had made my edits. The only difference for me this time, was that I used the phpMyAdmin to execute the query on the database, and not from the ZC admin panel.

At any rate, Lightbox seems to be working, and I have configuration options now!

Thanks, again!

i had the same install problem and followed the above steps and it worked. Thanks for the info and help. now to test it out on the site.

Well, I was a bit quick to state that Lightbox was working (see previous posts).

When using the demo DVD images that came with the ZenCart install, I get varying results, depending on the browser being used.

Yesterday when I originally posted, I was using the latest version of Firefox. The Lightboxed image was a small one (ZenCart demo images), but the "CLOSE" and "NEXT/PREVIOUS" tags were overlaying and obscuring the actual image, and the product description was word-wrapped vertically. I thought that Lightbox would auto-size depending on the image size or description length, but this doesn't appear to be the case. I played with all the settings, but with no luck.

Today, I tried using InternetExplorer, v7.0.x. Mostly, I get the lightbox with no image, but sometimes I'll get just a white box in the middle of the screen, with no darkening of the background. A mouse click to the screen will then cause the background to darken, but again, no image.

Anyone else see these types of behaviors, or found a way to address them?

This seems to be a very slick contribution, but it's looking like it may not play well with other add-ons and/or environments.

Thanks!

Could the following 2 users post their MySQL version information here please?

disregard my post I got it to show in the admin panel.

1. went into server and deleted everything again from the uploading of files and made sure all old version was gone too.

2. ran the uninstaller from MyphpAdmin

3. uploaded new files once more to proper places

went into admin for my store and lo and behold there are the admin setting to change if need be.
