Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[rlexyd]

ok changed to green added light box to green template let me know what you think

Went to have a look at your website and still saw your custom template, you must have changed it back!

ok i think it might be the template but im not sure as to how to fix it

If you used the classic green template and it worked fine for you, then the problem must from your template, not much I can do for you there. Maybe create a new thread in the custom template/css section.

1) Try checking your stylesheets.css, might be some broken links there.
(Remember, you said it worked in the classic template, and that it also works fine in IE, but not in FF, which leads me to think the problem might your stylesheet!)
You should download (Firebug in FF) and inspect it!

2) I know I said this before, please make sure the required files have been uploaded in you custom template directory, check each and everyone!

3) Try replacing just your custom stylesheet with the original classic stylesheet.css and see if that also makes a difference. That way you can tell for sure if it's from your custom stylesheet.

Last option, if the above doesn't work!
4) Try Uninstalling the whole zen_lightbox from your website, remove all uploaded folders and run the Uninstall.sql from your admin.
Then you can try re-installing it again, that might work.


Let us know how you went.

Best Regards,

Im new to this and could use some help.
I first tried fual slimbox and had problems so uninstalled that and installed zen lightbox. Now my only problem seems to be is at the bottom of the pictures I am getting ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_IMAGE 1 ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_OF 2

Of course it depends on the amounts pics.
If I have 5 then it will have the same thing up to 5.
Can someone please take a look and let me know what I need to do?

It does not do it on single pictures. Only on multiple images.
P.s sorry that you have to scroll down the page. My pictures are too large and need to be resized so they fit in the page better.

Thanks so much...

I had that same text at one time but I have looked thru all the files in the ones to upload and can't find where it is at...but I know it is one of them

I have large images too so people can see the details and mine are larger than yours...see link in my signature...so the size is fine...no sense (to my thinking) to have larger images if they are not going to be larger than the thumbnail and show little detail.

I have never had the next button nor the ability to see the additional ones either...so hopefully someone will be able to tell you what needs to be done, sorry

also i forgot to ask what version are you using...1.5?

The file should be at \includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR_TEMPLATE\zen_lightbox.php
and contain the text.

I have never had the next button nor the ability to see the additional ones either...so hopefully someone will be able to tell you what needs to be done, sorry

Two locations for the images, the folder at \includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\buttons\english\zen_lightbox
should have the next, previous and closed buttons.
The other folder \includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\images\zen_lightbox
has just the spinner for loading progress.

File to edit for additional images is includes\modules\YOUR_TEMPLATE\additional_images.php test with script turned off... if the normal popup window works with additional images, then the lightbox should work too... if not, check your edits. Hope that helps out a bit...

that is where i thought it would be too but this is the text that mine has---and this is from a fresh unzipped archive of the lightbox files:

as for the other, frankly I don't remember editing anything and now I have IH2 also but still no next or previous buttons showing nor do they go from one image to the next but I can live with it that way so no problem.

after re-reading your statement I see you meant edits to the store files not zen lightbox files...sorry

Zen Lightbox v1.5 and Link Manager 3 don't work together, and I can't determine why. Here's what I know:

1) These two mods share NO files in common.

2) I've read elsewhere in the Community Forum where this problem occurs regardless of other mods that may be running, on clean installs of 1.3.8a with Lighbox 1.5 (including much earlier versions) and Link Manager 3.

2) If the Link Manager layout box is enabled, it appears and works perfectly, however it completely breaks Lightbox, i.e. clicking on the larger image on a product page brings up the larger image in same browser window (not a new browser window, as was the default prior to installing Lightbox).

3) If you simply disable the Link Manager layout box by turning it off via the Admin, it disappears as expected and Lightbox works beautifully again after a page refresh.

PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME??! I WILL DONATE IF YOU HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM SO I CAN RUN BOTH TOGETHER!!!

I have seen a handful of similar posts in various threads with the EXACT SAME symptom I just described, but no resolutions anywhere. The Link Manager developer simply replies with the same reply everytime someone mentions this problem, (I'm paraphrasing) "Link Manager doesn't share any files in common with Lightbox (Slimbox)." I posted this same problem on the Slimbox thread and received no response.

I really need both mods to work together and I can't figure out why. Possible conclusions I've reached but can't confirm:

1) There's a conflict with some variable, function or constant name somewhere??

2) There's some CSS conflict somewhere??

My site: flairbyjdn.com
Zen Version: 1.3.8a

(I can provide additional information, privately, if you are able to assist me, e.g. mods I'm running, ftp access, etc.)

[DarkAngel]

I don't know why it won't work either because lightbox is a more richer slimbox...I love it.

However, if you list the other mods and versions of them then you might be able to get better help...sometimes it might be a different mod that is in control and not the one we think is.

This sure is an interesting discovery.

Noted exactly the same problem on my site www.chilloutfashions.com.au this morning (ZC 1.3.9b) and initially thought that the upgrade from 1.3.9a to b may have been responsible for the failure of Zen Lightbox. That ofc is not the case

Re-installed Zen Lightbox - same problem. Came across your post, disabled the Links sidebox and bingo...

I will make the author of Links Manager aware of this occurrence - lets see what develops.

Here is a (not so elegant) fix: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=1634
