Just did it thru PhpMyadmin and now its working !!

But I dont see anything in admin/configuration.

Thru Admin

[DarkAngel]

at least you got it to install without errors

in admin at the bottom of configuration there is no lightbox listed?

am lost on that one unless your theme lightbox files are not in their designated theme folder

check to make sure that you put the:
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/make a folder for your theme here and place that file in it

same for the modules/your theme folder
and the templates/your theme folder

put those files from the zip into the folders and then check admin again either in a new page or refreshing the page you have open

let us know

[dre]

No nothing.
Everything is in place but it does not show in admin.

Maybe strange question but shouldnt there be files for the admin folder to show things in admin.?


The files in the zip are not for the admin folder?

Thanx

@serovectra:

make sure everything is uploaded right and that you installed the sql without any errors

@dre:

the files are for the software to be able to use the lightbox but the install sql is for it to be seen/set in admin section.

I am at a loss as to why unless it has to do with your template you are using...which is it and you are using zencart 1.38 yes?

I guess I could revert to my backup and re-upload, and reinstall. When i installed the SQL there was no error. I changed the directory name properly for all the files as well. I'll let you know if anything changes on the reinstall.

Yes Im using 1.3.8a
Template is bought from monstertemplate.

Maybe its a idea to instal the sql again but now from admin??

Thanx

my turn to ask a question...lol

when you click the image and get the lightbox view at the bottom of the image---there should be the title of the image with the counter info like image 1 0f 3

on this site we got it to work but it does not show that...

where do i fix that to read out right.

see image

well i originaly tok off the setting to show the counter and it did not work but now suddenly it is so the gremlins did it.

it fixed itself

Hopefully this will be an easy one to answer.
I have just had installed Light Box and it appears to work fine - apart from the fact that when I click an image it brings up the box but the image is the same size as the image I clicked to open the box.

Do I need to resize all my existing images, and add _LRG.jpg and place them all in the LARGE folder for light box to open a larger image of my products?

Or do I need to do something else so that the customer if they click on my existing image (say 100 x 100 pixels) they get to see a light box image that is say 600 x 600 pixels in size.

I am going around in circles trying to rectify this.

@philblack:

hi there and happy holiday!

about the thumbnail images...depending on what size you have them set in admin is the size you initially see...however what I do is upload the image full size via the description page---at the bottom and then the software resizes it to fit your constraints and when clicked on the customer is given the larger size.

hope that made sense

example mine are set at width=175 I think...lol I do not enter a height so the software fits to size...then I go enter all the info I need for the product and under the place to enter model you click the browse button to locate the image on your computer...select where you want it uploaded...click preview when doen then update to finalize...go to your store and click the thumbnail and it should open to the original size you uploaded.

see my store (link in signature for Fantasies Realm) rightclick the thumbnail and choose view image to see the actual size of the image...they are all uploaded full size, named as I want them to be.

the_LRG is more if you actually get the counter to go thru more than one image on your product page...mine never behaved, so i did it this way
