Does it give any sense to you ? Not me :-(

Hi PUREchocolatetruffle,
following up on DivaVocals earlier suggestion.
If you still have the original ZLB zip file you downloaded (if not then re-download it) unzip again it so you know you have a totally fresh install.sql file.
open install.sql in a text editor:
mac - TextEdit
windows - notepad

highlight all of the text in the file and then copy it.
go to the zen cart admin > tools > install sql patches

paste the contents of the install.sql file you copied here.
click send and cross your fingers

hopefully this will work for you.

I have installed zen lightbox 1.6.2 on 139h localhost without problem except for the layout of the lightbox.

As it stands, the issue is:
the Next and Prev buttons are located at the top of the lightbox but partly overlay/obscure the image;
multi-worded image titles and the "image x of y" both wrap without extending across the full width of the image, especially with relatively narrow images;
the Close X button is located immediately below right of the image and seems to be the cause of the wrap.

The prefered layout, from top to bottom, is:
image
image title
"image x of y"
Next, Prev, Close X.

where
multi-worded image titles and "image x of y" both extend across the full width of the image before wrapping;
the Next and Prev and Close X buttons all lie on one line at the bottom of the lightbox.

After spending many hours trying to achieve this layout, mostly toying with the css, I would appreciate some help, if not a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Having spent more than a week on this without joy, I would be satisfied if the prev/next buttons would sit clear above the image, as they are currently obscuring vital parts at the top of numerous images.

While I was hoping for a simple css fix, I suspect the problem lies with the nesting of #lbPrevLink and #lbNextLink within #lbImage, but the code in includes/classes/ files is way beyond my comprehension.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Help much appreciated.

thats the default behavior of lightbox from the beginning, not sure of an easy way to change it.
There is another box here in the addons called faul slimbox. you could give that one a try and see if it has a better layout for you.

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.

Hi Dark Angel,

Just wanted to ask again if there is such a thing of having the new lightbox show pictures one after the other, without having to close it each time (the same page you looked at before).It used to work with the old version, that's why I'm asking.

Thanks for your time.

in the code, try

rel="lightbox-g"

instead of

rel="lightbox"

Does the "-g" refer to some kind of switch or another stylesheet.

If a switch, are there other switches we should be aware of?

I have not seen a lightbox-g stylesheet.

Thanks

Hi Niestudio

Thanks for the advice. I will look into it.

Cheers

the -g is gallery mode (linked images) built into ZLB
