Your right. It is working now. Must be the memory leaks or something else

i got the lightbox to work after all, had to install IH2 first then it works okay, but now it only works on some products,

while others when clicking on larger image in product info page, the image is opened in the same window.

i guess this is something simple.

all help appreciate. AS then i can return to sleep

Are you sure the page has finished loading before clicking on the 'larger image' link?

I have lightbox and IH2 added to my zen cart 1.3.6 installation. Thanks for a great contribution. Lightbox works great with 1 image but I haven't been able to get it to work with additional images.

I have tried different naming conventions but still no luck. Could someone give me the correct instructions on how to get lightbox to work with multiple images? I would appreciate it.

Can you get additional images working normally? Or could you get additional images working before installing Zen Lightbox?

Hi Alex,

To be honest I didn't try to use more than one image before installing Light box. I saw it on other sites and liked it so well I knew I had to have it. It is really nice!

I reinstalled Lightbox and now additional images show up in the product display. If I click on the main image it will display in Lightbox properly with a next button at the top. If I click the next button I get a lightbox an icon in the center that looks like a daisy with the petals rotating around the center, nothing else. The images are stored in images/samples instead of the main directory if that matters.

If I go back to the product listing and click on one of the "extra" images I get the same icon rotating. Any ideas? What is the proper way to uninstall Lightbox to start over from scratch?

Thanks for your help.

Before uninstalling check to see if you have Image Handler installed. Zen Lightbox seems to be a bit buggy with that at the moment.

To uninstall Zen Lightbox just restore your backup! :|

Ok, that wasn't funny... I'm sure you've made loads of changes to your site since installing Zen Lightbox and to roll-back that far would be very time consuming.

The best way to uninstall Zen Lightbox is to follow the install instructons in reverse. Since no core files of Zen Cart are overwritten you're safe to go ahead and delete all the Zen Lightbox files.

Good luck. :)

I just wanted to report that I have lightbox installed on a 1.3.7 development cart with IH2 and have no problems what so ever. No bugs here. I installed IH2 first on a clean install and then installed lightbox and all is good. The only thing I did do was clean up some stuff to make the page validate, but that was after I had been running it for a while.

I also have it working fine with additional images.....

besides additional images lightbox works fine with me and I've been happy about it but I'm using ligthbox with wordpress as well for certain features and photos. I was wondering is there a way to lauch those picture sets somehow with zen also. It would help a lot our navigation on our site. This is how it works on wp:

<a href="feature/gal1-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[gal1]"></a>
<a href="feature/gal1-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[gal1]"></a>
<a href="feature/gal1-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[gal1]"></a>


<a href="feature/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="images/thumb-1.jpg" width="100" height="40" alt="" /></a>

is there a way to get few occasional links to work in similar matter (ofcourse with product images as well) in zen cart?
