Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[yellow1912]

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'll look into those IE issues and see if they affect the current release of Zen Lightbox. I recall this being an issue with v1.2, but it should have been resolved with the v1.3 release.

Nice JavaScript loader there... I was just thinking the other day, "wouldn't it be nice to be able to control the order that JavaScript file are loaded".

The duplicate files under the modules/pages folder should not have an impact on the performance of the site. However, they're quite a few files there and it can make things a little cluttered. I'll probably look at addressing this in a future release.

Loading the CSS dynamically is already on my list and should make it in to the v1.6 release.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm going to have a look at your JavaScript add-on now!
