Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[niestudio]

yeah, there has been some discussion recently on the IH main thread (DivaVocals) about the additional_images.php file. Lightbox seems to have the IH code built into that file pretty well. You could still merge the two files instead of total overwrite, but I always get complete functionality when overwriting the IH file w/ the Lightbox file.

Thanks finlander,

Thanks for the tip!
I'm not really familiar with IH2. I had never even heard of it before working on ZL 1.6b and someone asking if it worked with IH2.

And I'll repost what I already posted here on THIS support thread a few pages back....

Good to know this as we weren't aware that the Zen Lightbox module even had been recently updated AND had specific code which supported IH2.. The Fual Slimbox module requires some minor file merging to work with IH2, and it was always understood that the same applied to Zen Lightbox..

Unless I am misunderstanding what I see looking at the Zen Lightbox code for the additional_images.php file, and what you posted here, CLEARLY Zen Lightbox does not require any of the IH2 files be merged.. (It looks as if all you have to do is simply overwrite the additional_images.php from IH2 with the one from Zen Lightbox and every thing works together)

Perhaps when time permits we will update the IH2 documentation accordingly to minimize any confusion going forward..

Hi Jostar,
I tried installing IH2 after zen lightbox 1.6 and I found the same issue as you describe. In your OP you said that you compared includes/modules/additional_images.php however thats not the one that gets overwritten with these addons, the one you want to compare is includes/modules/[your_theme]/additional_images.php.
If you overwrite this one with the one from zen_lightbox 1.6 you should find that you get your additional image functionality back.

Let me know if this doesnt work for you.

Cheers
Daniel

Thanks, Daniel! Replacing the current additional_images.php with the one that's in the Lightbox installation folder helped me get the gallery mode working! https://www.jostaronline.com/index.p...&products_id=9

The problem was that when I was installing the Lightbox to the Zen Cart that already had IH2 installed using FileZilla, I renamed the additional_images.php from Lightbox installation to additional_images.PHPLTBX because I thought I was renaming the additional_images.php from IH2. So that was my mistake during the installation!

Here I have more questions regarding this gallery mode!

1) How can I change the image counter text? I'm seeing this: 'ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_IMAGE_1 (next line)ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_OF_14" in the gallery mode. Can I change it to something like: Image 1 of 14 or Image 1/14?

2) Is there a way to use the gallery mode only for additional images instead of listing those images below the item description and attribute swatches? I actually tried to turn off the 'Show Product Additional Images' in 'Catalog-Product Types-General-Edit Layout' and this also turned off the gallery mode as well!

Please advice me Daniel and many other experienced Zenners!

Best regards,
Jostar

Works great my shared host auto installed and upgraded my install I had to edit the install.sql to reflect the table names so it could install in phpmyadmin

Example

INSERT INTO `zen_configuration_group` VALUES (NULL, 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox settings', '0', '1');
UPDATE `zen_configuration_group` SET `sort_order` = LAST_INSERT_ID() WHERE `configuration_group_id` = LAST_INSERT_ID();

SELECT @cgi := `configuration_group_id` FROM `zen_configuration_group` WHERE `configuration_group_title` = 'Zen Lightbox';

INSERT INTO `zen_configuration` (`configuration_id`, `configuration_title`, `configuration_key`, `configuration_value`, `configuration_description`, `configuration_group_id`, `sort_order`, `last_modified`, `date_added`, `use_function`, `set_function`) VALUES
(NULL, '<b>Zen Lightbox</b>', 'ZEN_LIGHTBOX_STATUS', 'true', '<br />If true, all product images on the following pages will be displayed within a lightbox:<br /><br />- document_general_info<br />- document_product_info<br />- page (EZ-P

HI Jostar,

1) look at 'includes/classes/zen_lightbox/options.php'
it seems that your code on line 23 got changed to this:

echo '"' . 'ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_IMAGE' . ' {x} ' . 'ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_OF' . ' {y}"'; 

instead of this:

echo '"' . ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_IMAGE . ' {x} ' . ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_OF . ' {y}"'; 

note the quotes around ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_IMAGE, this changes it from a variable name to a string.

2) not sure about this one…

Having same problem! I have checked the options.php file and it correct as shown above i.e.

echo '"' . ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_IMAGE . ' {x} ' . ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_OF . ' {y}"'; 

Ideally I would like this to read Image 1 of x etc. I have tried to change Display Image Counter in ADMIN>CONFIGURATION > ZEN LIGHTBOX to FALSE but the text still shows...Any ideas?

Hi Rebelman & Jostar,
I looked back at the files I uploaded to the addons page and for some reason one file got omitted.
There should be and extra file in:
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/[your_theme]

Here is a link to download it:

Let me know if that fixes things for you.
I'm getting a ZL 1.6.1 ready, but I'd like to get as many things taken care of as possible.

Daniel, now I'm confused, this file (zen_lightbox.php) was/is present in 1.6b2, and my install of 1.6b2 has always showed 'image 1 of 2" etc. just fine. Am I not understanding something about this most recent post of yours?

Cheers Daniel, its working perfectily now

[finlander]

ahhhh, it's missing from 1.6. You posted a link a few days ago in this thread for the download to 1.6b2. You should really at least get 1.6b2 to the ZC downloads page because everyone who is currently downloading and installing 1.6 from the downloads page is going to be needing this file, create lots of headaches for them, and you ..
