Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[VisExp]

Grace38, from what I can see the upgrade is significant. The control panel in the Admin section offers a lot more options. Also one of the bigger advantages is the ability of Lightbox to work on other pages aside from just the product detail page. For example it would work on pictures on the EZ pages.

Having said that, I am not having much success installing it on my site at http://www.syzygypens.com

I uninstalled 1.4 and installed 1.5. It shows up in my Admin panel, I can see and change all the options, however it is not working on the site. When I click on an image, the larger image is opened up in the same window and I have to click on the browser back button to get back to the product detail page.

I've been trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong for a couple of days now. I'd really like to get it sorted as I like the extra features of 1.5.

Well I figured out why Lightbox 1.5 was not working for me, which is pretty amazing considering how clueless I am

I am running Slideshow 2! on my main page and I had the code for that embedded in includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_footer.php

Well it seems like Lightbox 1.5 and Slideshow 2! don't play nice together. So I moved the code for Slideshow 2! into includes/languages/english/html_includes/MY TEMPLATE NAME/define_main_page.php and voila everyone's getting along fabulously

Just thought I would post this in case it helps anyone.

Hi - I'm getting the following error when trying to run the sql file:

1146 Table 'bellabel_zc1.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.

I'm doing it via Admin > Tools > Install SQL Patches.

I'm using ZC 1.3.8a

Still can't get this to work, and on a clean vanilla install of zc.

I have no idea what to do

I just tried it from phpMyAdmin and got this error, which I guess is the same thing...

Error

SQL query:

INSERT INTO `configuration_group`
VALUES (
NULL , 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox settings', '0', '1'
);

Have you tried using the updated install.sql code, in one of my previous posts?

If this doesn't work please post back with any error messages and your PHP and MySQL version.

Alex, Im not sure if this is the issue with this one or with the fual slimbox one, but the script tries to run when the document is not ready yet, which will causes some serious problem on slow sites (images completely disappear).On IE, if the page has flash it will cause "operation aborted"

Also, if you want you can use the module i posted here to avoid having to place too many duplicated files under the modules/pages.

You can checkout my simple lightbox module and zoom module that use the script above.

You can also use jscript to load css dynamically, that way to can also avoid having to load the stylesheet globally (you can see example in one of the modules above)

I had lightbox working fine, then this morning installed Links Manager and now lightbox doesn't work anymore. when you click on a picture it opens it in a new page.

Are you aware of any issues between LB & LM? I wonder if I need to uninstall LM or REinstall LB?

FYI - I asked about this on the Links Manager support thread and Clyde is unaware of any issues.

Great news!

Sorry for not replying sooner - I wasn't ignoring you!

Thanks for posting the Slideshow 2 fix that worked for you. If more users run into issues with Slideshow 2 and Zen Lightbox I can always add a fix to v1.6 to address this.

No problem Alex. Thanks for the effort you put into answering so many posts

Is it possible to get Lightbox 1.5 to work on a Category page. I want to install it on another site but would like to use it on the picture of the bowl on this page http://zambeziexotics.com/index.php?...ndex&cPath=2_4

Thanks in advance for any help.
