You are (IMHO) GROSSLY understating the effect of these changes.. It's not simply a matter of "doing it right". These particular suggested changes will NOT WORK for anyone who is using a lightbox contribution.. This is important since lightbox contributions are being used by lots of store owners.. The changes outlined in the post you referenced will BREAK these modules..

This is a HUGE reason why the "Optional Extras" code was removed from the current version of Image Handler 2.. IMO that entire "Optional Extras" code should have been submitted as a SEPARATE contribution with a responsibly written readme which outlines the issues with using these particular modifications in conjunction with a lightbox module.

now that said this is from the read me that comes with image handler. I am not telling you to do this for it might screw things up if not done right but tis something to look at:

The source of the "Optional Extras" files comes from this thread here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=4034

The documentation for these files seems to indicate that they provide the following functionality:
  • Allowing zoom behavior on medium images as well as small.
  • Disabling stock ZenCart "larger image" popup behavior on medium images that already have ImageHandler zoom behavior applied.
  • Disabling zoom and "larger image" popup behavior on default (no_picture.gif) product images.

More details about these "Optional Extras" files to follow. However, there are two notes of caution for those who opt to use these "Optional Extras" with IH2:

  1. DO NOT directly upload the Zen Cart core files in "Optional Extras". Instead do a compare and merge them into your Zen Cart core files or you will undo your previous changes.
  2. Let me state unequivocally that these "Optional Extras" files will break the functionality of the Zen Lightbox and Fual Slimbox mods.
