Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[joeharradine]

Hi, help!! lightbox not working at all, installed ok... image shows not in original pop-up but own page. i can't workout what's wrong, ive read tonnes of forum help pages and have to resort to asking for help. Sorry if this has already been solved, if so please direct me to the page, but ive spent hours over 2 days.

I have successfully installed lightbox and it shows in admin/configuration/zen lightbox, before you ask yes i have set 'enable zen lightbox?' to TRUE. -- this was a challenge it itself because the install.sql just errored but i found a version in the forums that installed nicely via admin/tools/install SQL patches

So to set up a picture in catalog/categories/products i have setup so far just 1 test product page. There i set 07400_DET_0.gif and uploaded to /main directory and FTP uploaded, to /images two more pictures 07400_DET_1.gif and 07400_DET_2.gif

I've played around with different file names, different directories for the images but still to no avail.

Thanks


Joe




Zen Cart 1.3.8a
zen lightbox v1.5
www.gerbermulti-tools.com.au (new site - setting up product descriptions and pictures first ie lightbox)

No reply needed. Fixed this problem by uninstalling it and starting over with a different program. This time i used SlimBox http://www.zenflavor.com/lightbox-for-zen-cart.html -- which is much more compact and very easy to install and setup!!

and Image Handler 2 http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=117 - this manages the image in admin/tools

this works nicely and easily just wish id found this 3 days ago!!!!!

I'll second that, I have used Lightbox on a couple of sites and it worked fine, the one I am currently doing I was experiencing many of the problems mentioned in this thread, and believe me I have read almost all of it trying to find a solution until right near the very end I saw joeharradines post and installed it, no problems, no hassle...

so thanks joe for pointing me there, it's not as customisable but it works and thats all I care about at the end of the day rather than waste so much time on trying to find what the problem is/was. All my previous sites are on the same server, same setup and versions, so for the life of me I cannot and could not find where the problem lay

I just wish I'd started reading the ******* thread backwards from the end LOL

Hi Thanks alot Dark Angel

Well I checked the prefix from my phpmyadmin area - I should have copied you - the prefix is zen_

Anyway I changed the code to match your initial one and I got a different error. The screenshots of both phpmyadmin and the error are below. It processed a few statements but not others.

ok next question...does it show in the admin/configuration section allowing you to change the settings--or is it listed but empty page?

and you are using the default classic theme right?

yup
checked all the files and they all look sound - the template is set to MYTEMPLATE and I have added all the files as they were meant to be added

ok bear with me here.

when the folders are called your_template,, they need to be renamed to the name of the template you are using for your shop...the template you are using in your store at this moment...

is is the classic one or is it really a template called MYTEMPLATE

Hi Darkangel
Sorry for using the same large images again - I thought it would help start from where we left off.

Yes the zen lightbox is showing in admin>configurations - kind of strange actually as its showing 2 - When I click on either one of them then there are no options available.

I tried to install the zenlight box on another website but again got exactly the same problems as above. I added the zen_ prefix and the 2nd error come up whereby it processed some and ignored others.

The new database has the same prefixes.

I am using a custom template on this site and uploaded the MY_TEMPLATE files to my custom template which is actually called mytemplate -

The last time I done the upload on another site which gave the same issues - the zenlightbox showed in the admin>configuration twice in the same way it is on this site - however when I logged out and then logged in again they where not there anymore.

Kind of strange I know.

Just wondering if you know what could be causing the issues. I know its to do with the instal.sql and the prefixes that im using and this is why its not installing properly - But as far as I can see taking the image of my database above as reference the prefix looks fine.

Your help will be appreciated - thanks
