Zen Colorbox

[davewest]

Was using Zen Lightbox before. It stopped working after upgrading to 1.5.4, so installed Zen Colorbox.

One feature that was nice in Zen Lightbox was the option to "Close on Image Click". It is possible to do this with Zen Colorbox?

Also, not sure if these are known bugs or just bugs pertaining to my specific installation, but setting "Display Image Counter" to false causes the Colorbox to stop working.

because colorbox can be used for many different things, such as popup contact us form, it would not make sense to close on box click, thus the close button. It does have the option to close on click outside the popup box!

Not sure why you would tun off the 1 of total count... but I see there was an code error in the options.php class killing the script.

in includes/classes/zen_colorbox/options.php file, add "" in the following code

if (ZEN_COLORBOX_COUNTER == 'true') 
{
    echo '"{current} of {total}"'; 
}
else 
{
    echo '""'; 
}

Almost forgot, the colorbox is resizing images to be smaller than they actually are. The point of a lightbox is to show images that are larger than being displayed on the page. What is the best way to go about making the images display as their actual size?

Colorbox animation will snap the image then drop to a size percentage of the screen, a responsive design for small screens. if you have ZC setup to use images correctly, then you should see the larger images... good test is to turn off colorbox and see if it works as expected. Colorbox is not designed to manage image size other then for animation which completes to the actual image size.

So if you have photo.jpg for the thumb, photo_LRG.jpg for the large, then you are on track, if not then you have some work to do.
