you are very welcome...sorry i wasn't much help though...but that would have been my last suggestion to do for I have found that on some ---especially paid for java templates--that the lightbox from zen will not behave.

that is mainly due to the coders of the template changeing the coding about or adding/deleting much that zen lightbox gets lost.

Hello there,

I'm having an issue with something and was hoping someone might know the solution:

Basically, i've installed zen lightbox within my site and everything has worked wonderfully.

Recently i added a feature to my product image page allowing the product information to be displayed in a four tabbed AJAX menu box. Since the addition of this, lightbox no longer works and the large images just load in a popup window like default.

I have narrowed the problem down to three lines of code that work in conjuction to cause the proplem with light box, but are necessary for the AJAX menu to function.

The file i have modified is includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

And the three lines of code causing the problem are:

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/prototype.lite.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/moo.fx.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/moo.fx.pack.js"></script>


Does anyone notice anything about these lines that would cause lightbox to stop functioning and if so any suggestions on how to remedy the problem...?

I apologize for the poor explanation and will try my best to clarify if asked... :)

Any help is welcomed!! Thank You!!

it would seem that the tab add on has overridden the mootools js for lightbox, which is what some will do.

have you tried removing the js scripts for tabbing to see if it will still work?

or you might have to install jquery lightbox instead

Thanks for the reply DarkAngel!

Yes, i have tried removing the js scripts for the tab add on and it causes it not to function.

I will try jquery lightbox. Does it not use mootools...?

Thanks again!

Thanks for all your previous advice DarkAngel!

I attempted to install jquery lightbox instead of Zen Light box and the installation went well.

Although, I am still having the same issue with jquery as i did with zen. Perhaps the way i have the tab menu installed is not the best way to do it... (which is probably the case :|)

Overall, what i'm trying to acheive is this:

I obviously want the lightbox effects for larger image previews, but in addition I want to be able to have the tab menu functional on all product info pages.

So, what i have done is just inserted the code for the tab menu into:
includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

thereby causing the conflict with the three lines of code i've mentioned in a previous post...

The code for the tab menu i'm using can be found here: http://www.nyokiglitter.com/tutorials/tabs.html

If anyone is able to shed some additional light on the best way to acheive what im looking for, i'm all ears...

I may just have to go an alternative route and use a different tab menu...

Not sure if this is of any use to you, Slimbox... http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=830 - I prefer it over the full Lightbox add-on as it is a stand alone mod, easy to install, easy to uninstall - I only had problem after problem with the full Lightbox mod and gave up on it after a short while

You can see the slimbox version in action here - http://www.bwe-invest.cz/index.php?m...&products_id=1

Actually, Fuel and Zen are both using Christophe Beyls Slimbox version... Fuel, version 1.3, Zen version 1.67 which is why I went with Zen.....

The latest Slimbox version of his is 1.71 which uses mootools 1.2.4... and wasn't that hard to upgrade ZenLightbox to after all.
