Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[DarkAngel]

Yes.. If you try to UPLOAD the file you may experience errors.. But if you open the file and copy and paste the contents instead it will run with no problems..

I had problems with zen admin sql installations before these last 2 LB updates. I tried importing it and would get errors, I tried copy/pasting and if it installed it was without the tables prefix---so I would have to add the prefix (posted about it too for others) then add in myphpadmin sql section for it to behave itself.

but now I did it thru store admin and it worked like a charm...but there are some that do not still so kind of hit and miss.

question about the chart

is it located within the body of the description and not as the main image like any other product should be?

if so then you have to add the bit of code for it when you post it in the description:

you of course change the size shown and alignment to your liking but this will give it thelightbox when clicked. You will also have to add the line to click image to view larger but doing it this way you just need the full grouwn image, thecoding will resize it to view prior to clicking for larger view.

I would also get into the habit of NOT using caps and spaces in the image names...like conpatibility_chart.jpg would be just right too

the code had too many << in it here is the right one and it is for within body and expages:

<a href="http://aquafinatic.com/images/Compatibility Chart Mini.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img width="375" vspace="10" height="164" border="0" align="left" src="http://aquafinatic.com/images/Compatibility Chart Mini.jpg"></a>

Caps are fine in filenames. I use caps as a way to help make my filenames more readable for example: redTennisShoes.jpg

Spaces are the real no no.. Names of files used on a website should AVOID spaces.

Dark Angel,

Thank you, it works!

Thanks for your time.

Thank you.

I do have one more question....What code would I need to have the lightbox go from one image to the other on that same page, without having to view one image, close lightbox and click on the next image.
Is that possible?

Thanks.

I think its the same problem as chrome and FF4, your ZLB site is not working in those browsers either.
try backing up and update to ZLB 1.6

Hi Dark Angel and Niestudio.

Many thanks for your help and advice. I've done what you said. ran the uninstall sql file and uninstalled my old ZLB.
However, neither the ZLB 1.6 install or upgrade sgl will work.
I get the error messages:

I've looked into my zen_configuration and found that the error might be there. I just don't know how to correct it. Have a look at the attached file. Thanks in advance.

We were just talking about this a few posts back yesterday..

DON'T run this script using phpMyAdmin.. Here's what I posted yesterday about installing this script.

[FONT=Verdana]The best way to avoid this error is to NOT run the install script via phpMyAdmin, but to open the install.sql file and copy/paste it into the form on the Tools > Install SQL Patches from the shop admin.. This will properly add the table pre-fixes to the script as it runs.[/FONT]

DivaVocals, I do listen and that's what I did first. Only when it didn't work I went to PhPMyAdmin.
The only sql patch that works at the moment is the uninstall. There I don't get any error messages.

What error messages do you get when you run the install.sql?? (unmodified as it comes with ZLB)
