Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[mteipe]

I also noticed this Chrome7 problem.

Where's the problem? Why it doesn't work?

Is this ZL still developed or we should migrate to alternative?

I just successfully upgraded my zen lightbox by opening the slimbox.php file and upgrading the slimbox code to slimbox version 2 for jQuery rather than MooTools. I'll get a link up for the fix as soon as i've tested that the lightbox options are working (i think they are just don't want to pass on lousy code). My Chrome 7 issues is now gone though.

How do you upgrade to version 1.3 of Mootools in Zen Lightbox? Please help...my lightbox hasn't worked since I upgraded to latest version of Chrome...but it works in all other browsers. TIA

Go to Mootools web site, download 1.3 compacted, rename it to something like 'jscript_mootools-1.3.js' replace mootools in your template jscript folder... download the zip I uploaded some posts back, unzip and replace the one in \includes\classes\zen_lightbox\slimbox.php and that should do it...

UPDATE:

ZeeRock,
try installing fual_slimbox.v0.1.5 . Follow the instructions for Zen Lightbox 1.4 users . I have ZL 1.5 but it worked fine for me.

My jscript problem disappeared with the installation.

Note:
I had to remove the ZL css in order for the styling to look right in the new fual pop up windows.

Hope it works for you! I've been banging my head on this --what should have been a very simple --thing for days.

Fuel had a even older version of Slimbox then zen lightbox did.... not sure if it was updated...

Slimbox 2 works grate with the jquery library... same thing, edit the slimbox.php to do the jquery calls using the php coding like before and all should work the same.... I have other scripts using the mootools library is why I'll stay with it...

Awesome!! It worked! Many thanks, as it was driving me nuts.

I am having the same problem with Google Chrome 7.0.517.41. I tried to follow this thread and fix it, but Im not sure where you get the mootools update from. On their site (http://mootools.net/download) downloading "MooTools Core 1.3 with compatibility" gives me one file called "mootools-core-1.3-full-compat.js", but in Dave's steps it says "replace mootools in your template jscript folder". I have 2 files in my "/public_html/includes/templates/CUSTOM/jscript" folder called "zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js" and "zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js". Which one do I replace, or am I doing something wrong?

Can someone write how to do this in a clear step by step guide, because this thread is hard to follow.

Thanks!

What I did was open the mootools1.3.js file (in Dreamweaver), copy the code and replace the code in both the mootools_custom.js and motools_default.js. Then upload these two new files to your server to replace the old ones.

After that, download the zip file from Dave and replace the slimbox file. Worked for me. Hope that helps.

Thanks Sethaholic, that worked :)

Not work for me . please help

I tried this :

1. download mootools-core-1.3-full-compat.js
2. replace zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js , zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js from /include/my_tmplate/jscript with downloaded .js and change the name like before.
3. download slimbox.zip from previus page dave's post and overwrite the initial one one /includes/classes/zen_lightbox

Hi everyone hope you can help please,

I did what dave said got the new mootools and replaced (overwrote) the code inside both the zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js and zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js with the code in the new mootools 1.3 files plus uploaded the new slimbox.php file from dave's earlier post.

It isn't working.

It doesnt make sense to me to overwrite all the code with the new code since the older files were a little different.

Can someone please post here the updated zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js and zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js
that already have the new mootools correct code in them and then i can simply upload them and job done

Or at least tell me what parts of those files need replacing.

cheers!

The two files need to be deleted... zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js and zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js

both are the older versions of mootools and not needed once you place the mootools 1.3 into the folder.

One thing... I use mootools for other things... like my sidebox menu... thous the jscript_mootools.js naming. One advantage to this, lightbox can work across the site by just adding the rel="lightbox" to a image link. If your not using it across the site, then replacing one of the two files would work too...

Tested local in FF 3.6.12, IE8 and Chrome 7. It did the job in perfect fashion.
