Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[bsteinagel]

It's me again. I solved my problem again by copying the zen_lightbox directory to includes\templates\custom\images\ [B]and[\B] by putting the gif imagesin that same directory inside includes\templates\custom\images\ separately. Is this necessary?

You'll need to rename two folders within the 'includes' folder (from the zip file).

Then you should upload all the files within the 'includes' folder to your website (keeping the file structure the same).

Did you follow the instructions in the readme file?

If someone still has problems with ZenCart 1.3.7.1, ImageHandler 2.0 and Zen Lightbox 1.4 here is what i did to fix it:

locate the file "additional_images.php" it should be in your includes\modules\"template_name_dir".

Go to line 23 and remove the ". '$'".
The line should look now like this:
$products_image_base = str_replace($products_image_extension , '', $products_image);

Thats it. Hope it helps others.

Thanks for posting this find Climax. I'll review the code change for the 1.5 release.

If anyone wants an easy way to remove 1.3 prior to installing 1.4 and have shell access, make the needed changes and run this from the root of your zen folder:

rm -v ./includes/functions/extra_functions/zen_image_lightbox_IH2_url.php
rm -v ./includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php
rm -v ./includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_lightbox.php
rm -v ./includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_lightbox.css
rm -v ./includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/images/lightbox/
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/images/lightbox/Thumbs.db
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/images/lightbox/blank.gif
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/images/lightbox/close.gif
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/images/lightbox/closelabel.gif
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/images/lightbox/loading.gif
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/images/lightbox/nextlabel.gif
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/images/lightbox/prevlabel.gif
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/jscript/lightbox.js
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/jscript/lightbox_effects.js
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/jscript/lightbox_prototype.js
rm -v ./includes/templates/template_default/jscript/lightbox_scriptaculous.js

It's working fine for me. Did you manage to fix the issue?

Zen Lightbox has built-in functionality to hide any page elements when the lightbox is displayed.

Please see the FAQs section of the readme file (readme.html) for more details.

I am redesigning my store for a new holiday roll-out in November...

I was always intrigued and interested in your contribution but I have never had the time to install it.

Well, I finally did and I just wanted to say it was the easiest installation I have ever done and it works great and I'm sure it will make my site more attractive and easier to use.

Thank you very much.

Hi there

Long time I didn't worked with zen-cart but now I have to give the 1.3.7 german version a try. Now I tried to install the lightbox script but failed on the sql part.

What I get is this while running the SQL query:

1136 Column count doesn't match value count at row 1
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration_group VALUES (NULL, 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox options', '1', '1');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I uploaded all necessary files exactly like in the readme but no success. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I've seen errors similar to this one in the past (not with Zen Lightbox) and they turned out to be caused by the MySQL version I was running.

Zen Lightbox v1.4 was designed and built on a system running PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.45, if that helps! :)

Which version of MySQL do you have installed?

Or, some installed mods on the site added an additional column to the table,
