Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[niestudio]

Hi there,

I'm having an issue where pointing at an image reveals the image path on the server rather than showing the image is being pulled from bmz_cache.

I'm running the latest version of ZC and IH2. Zen Lightbox is v.1.61.

Will v. 1.62 correct this issue, or do I need to go back and do a file merge so the lightbox file won't override the IH2 file?

If I need to do a file merge, can you advise as to which file needs to be merged and how to correctly merge the code?

Thanks :)

Is it the site that is in your signature?
If so, it seems to be working properly on your "Staying in the now" page.
Can you post a link to page where you are seeing the wrong behavior?

Yep, that's the site. When I mouse over the images on this page, this page, and this page, the file path and image name are displayed in the status bar. (It actually does this for all main product images on all product pages).

I posted this same question to the IH2 support thread first because I saw another poster had the same issue and had posted there. This is the feedback I was given:

you are not using just image handler on that page you are using a lightbox mod, which overwrites image handler file for that page,

I think the very latest version of lightbox (see the support thread as i don't know if its in the downloads yet) should work out of the box with image handler
The file that sets that particular page comes with lightbox

A look at the code on the product pages reveals this around line 235:

<!--bof Main Product Image -->
 
<div id="productMainImage" class="centeredContent back">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
document.write('<a href="images/PGc1.jpg" rel="lightbox-g" title="Staying in the Now"><img src="bmz_cache/c/ca8da9d479083782b2e2dad6008ef12b.image.200x200.jpg" alt="Staying in the Now" title=" Staying in the Now " width="200" height="200" /><br /><span class="imgLink">larger image</span></a>');

Update, a new comment on the IH2 Support Thread from DivaVocals may be the answer. Your thoughts?

Nigel is correct and in the next release (should be submitted this week - still testing the modifications) I'll make sure I add this to the readme.. The latest versions of the Zen Lightbox supports IH2 OUT THE BOX without any file merging required.. I'm at work and I can't remember which file it is off the top of my head, but there is ONE file that ZLB and IH2 have in common.. You do NOT need to merge the ZLB file with the IH2 file.. Simply REPLACE the IH2 file with the one from ZLB fileset and you should be good to go

[ScriptJunkie]

One more thing...

When I installed IH2 and Zen Lightbox 161, the only common file I found was includes/modules/custom_template/additional_images.php. At that time, I overrode the IH2 file with the ZLB file.

If I download ZLB 162 and do the same thing, will this resolve the issue, or is there another file I need to do this with?

[ScriptJunkie]

Maybe it's just best if I simply upgrade ZLB to v1.62?

I dont think thats going to help you, the only changes to 1.6.2 were close on image click and always show previous and next buttons.

I'm looking at the code now, but I'm not all that familiar with IH2.
stand by…

Okay lemme chime in here because I am not that familiar with ZLB either.. What I do know is that it is SUPPOSED to include code which works WITH IH2 out the box (it appears that this was part of one of the improvements Alex Clarke's versions brought to the table).. What I posted on the IH2 thread was based on feedback I've received from users of BOTH mods -- users of both modules have reported that the one common file between IH2 and ZLB -- includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php -- should NOT be merged. They have all indicated that the ZLB version of this file shoud OVERWRITE the IH2 version of this file.

In comparison, Fual Slimbox requires the merging of the code in the common files for IH2 to work with it.. However, the issue ScriptJunkie is reporting seems to be a NON-ISSUE (see this website -- http : // www . hairisle . com/Less-Than-Perfect/Processed-Wefts/Indian-Remy-Machine-Weft-Relaxed-Texture-4-Oz. -- for an example of Fual Slimbox and IH2 working together) Whether you rightclick to view the image source or mouseover the images, the images are all being called from the IH2 bmz_cache folders for the small, medium, and large product images.

Hope all of this is useful information when researching this..

Thanks DivaVocals,
I was hoping you would chime in.
I know others have said they got IH2 and ZLB working together ok, but I dont really have a need for IH2 and I dont really have time to learn it just to be able to troubleshoot the 2 working together.

ScriptJunkie, I would just suggest making sure all IH2 is installed and then ZLB installed after so that the additional_images file gets overwritten.

ok help...lol

i told you mine sometimes will put up a fight

I just upgraded a store from 1.5 to 1.6.2 LB--removed all the files, ran the 1.5 uninstaller

reuploaded each and every file--twice since getting this error on the image at the bottom of it:


ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_IMAGE 1
ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER_OF 6

under the images in the lightbox instead of

Image 1 of 6

I did go into the languages/english/extradefinitions/current template/zen_lightbox.php

it is the original file from 1.6.2 no edits at all and it is sitting in the folder. I deleted it from the server, went to the store then refreshed the page there, tried the main image and the additional images and the error was still at the bottom--no shock since i did remove the file.

I then reupped the file, refreshed the server ftp files--refreshed the page at her store and the eror is still showing

then i went into google chrome to check in case the hard refresh of Firefox did not take and it too shows the error---

how can I fix this please.

forgot the link to her store: http://www.pennylanebridal.com.au/sh...roducts_id=133

and you don't have to do this.. In fact we are recommending that you DON'T try and merge these files.. ZLB introduced code LONG ago that will ensure that ZLB and IH2 work together.. So you should be using the ZLB version of the one common module file. (ZLB and IH only share ONE file as noted in previous posts)

@Diva---will do so with my store and let you know if it behaves

[DarkAngel]

ok Diva, I did the upgrade to 1.6.2 in both my test store and the live store for LB and ran the sql also and the need for the edits are truly gone.

although on both of my stores the error that appears at the bridal store are not there

so I just need to find out what to do at the other store..thanks

I have seen this, but only when the [includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/(template)/zen_lightbox.php] file is missing.

You said you already checked its existence, so the only other place might be:
[includes/classes/zen_lightbox/options.php]
can you copy and paste the line that is after

if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_COUNTER == 'true') { 

?

Thats where it reads the information from the previous file.
