HoverBox 3 - Official Thread

[welchyboy]

Well i do have that folder placed in the correct spot on the server under my current template. Everything seems to work but i have to click the "larger image" link to bring up the hover box instead of the picture. Something else i would be interested in is changing the "larger image" text and color. Please any advice here in the link

You need to alter the link color of your featured products, blinded by the light ...

Also, one link for your image is better than two. If you'd really like to change that let me know. You'll need to edit a template file.

The link color can be changed via the CSS (stylesheet).

LOL yes i know I have tons of work still yet to do with this site. Especially with the colors. However I am doing this site for a client and I am going to let him choose the colors that fit him and his company best. However I have altered them all pretty much except that one still working out the major kinks. I don't necessarily need the "larger image" link gone but smaller and different colors. What css stylesheet do i need to edit to get the link smaller and different color. Also I still haven't gotten an answer about getting my image to have a hyperlink that works with hoverbox 3. I have the hoverbox folder in the right place and everything...any ideas?

Can anyone tell me how to change the "Larger image" link at least to fit in with my site. I would really like to be able to click on the picture as well as the larger image link. However i definately need the larger image link to be much smaller and a different color. If anyone knows how to do this please help out it would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

Is there a way to 'disable' the hoverbox "Larger Image" when there is no photo? Many products in my store do not have photos and it is confusing when the 'no image available' is displayed with the 'larger image' below it

You'd need to write some code to check for the existence of an image.

You'd need to alter the height and width of your image, and linking the photo would need to be done in the tpl_modules_main_product_image.php file.

I installed the HB3 and it didn't work in IE6 due to conflict with swfobject. In FF worked fine.

Thanks.

Can you please explain to me what and how i need to edit the tpl file. I have fixed the "larger image" link i was unaware that there was a photoshop file that i can edit that particular gif file and change it to whatever i like. So thanks for the help on all that. However I am not sure exactly how to edit that file you mentioned to get it to link to a larger picture but not by pop up but with the hoverbox just like the larger image link does.

Hey Testuser.
I have to say this module is a godsend. It's beautiful and functions perfectly.

I am having one small issue that may just be a built in fail-safe.
On images that are smaller/normal sized it displays perfectly and has the full name etc. plus the close image/link. However on larger... 2"x10.5" (we are a printing warehouse that keep printed items in stock) when I click the product image it pulls it up with the name but it does not show a 'close' button/link. Thus the only way to get out of the blackened showcase stage is to hit escape.

(Not a big deal to a cs major, but to the average joe that uses our website this could be confusing)

Do you have any pointers or helpful ideas? I read the entire thread and haven't seen anyone else with this problem. I'm assuming it's due to the size of the image?

Thanks!
