Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[ScriptJunkie]

Ok, here's what I have so far. I may be way off base here, so I do not recommend anyone make these changes. Right now the goal is just to look at the code and explore options. Unfortunately, I just don't know enough about programming to understand if what I'm doing will work or cause a major fail.

I started with comparing the code in includes/templates/YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image in both ZLB and FSB, I'm guessing the below might be a good place start or at least the right direction to look in?

in the ZLB version of the above file, lines 23 - 25, find:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
document.write('<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_lightbox($products_image_large, addslashes($products_name), LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, LARGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '" rel="' . $rel . '" title="' . addslashes($products_name) . '">' . zen_image($products_image_medium, addslashes($products_name), MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br /><span class="imgLink">' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</span></a>'; ?>');
//--></script>

Replace with this from FSB version of the above file, lines 53 -61:

$fualSlimboxContent .=  $fual_slimbox_a . $fual_slimbox_image . '</a>'; 
    // Putting the text link together with the image is nasty!
    $fualSlimboxContent .=  '<br class="clearBoth" />';
    $fualSlimboxContent .=  $fual_slimbox_a . '<span class="imgLink">' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</span></a>';
    $fualSlimboxContent .=  '</div>';
?>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
    document.write('<?php echo $fualSlimboxContent; ?>' );
    //--></script>

and then change it to this:

$IH2Content .= $IH2_a . $not_sure_what_to_do_here_perhaps_define_this_in_a_way_to_pull_from_bmz_cache . '</a>'; 
    // Putting the text link together with the image is nasty!
    $IH2Content .=  '<br class="clearBoth" />';
    $IH2Content .=  $IH2_a . '<span class="imgLink">' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</span></a>';
    $IH2Content .=  '</div>';
?>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
    document.write('<?php echo $IH2Content; ?>' );
    //--></script>

There may be other code in the FSB version of the file that is equally pertinent....perhaps lines 24 - 28? I'm not sure. I'm actually not sure about any of it...but I figured it's as good a starting place as any.

Diva, I look forward to hearing what your test results yield later on this evening.

OK, I did some digging, and I dont think the problem has anything to do with the additional_images file.
I made a scratch installation of ZC1.3.9 and IH2. out of the box (w/o ZLB) I was seeing the exact same behavior you described (the main product image was being called from /images and NOT bmz_cache)

I started digging thru the files and I found that after 2 tries of merging the includes directory, [includes/modules/(theme)/main_product_image.php] was not getting updated to the IH2 version.

after manually installing this 1 file, I stared seeing expected behavior of the main product image.

after this, I installed ZLB 1.6.2 I was seeing the proper behavior still. (the lightbox image was pulled from bmz_cache and NOT /images)

So check your server and see if that file was updated to the IH2 version.

@DivaVocals,
I was reading the IH2 forum and saw the posts about updating the readme for ZLB to address IH2, and I think thats a great idea.
If you want to PM me what you are including in the IH2 update I can paste that into the ZLB readme too.

cheers,
daniel

i went and checked mine although I usuallly don't have that problem of them not overwritten since prior to uploading a new file that is already present -- I place a ~ or write old at the end of the name after the .php ... this nulls the one that is one the server (in some cases it doesn't work and I still have to manually remove them

Will do!!

I agree.. BUT those who are using ZLB should overwrite the one from the IH2 fileset with the one from ZLB or ZLB will not work correctly..

This file is not ncluded with the IH2 fileset.. Can you let me know which version you installed.. I want everything to be apples to apples in my testing (which I am starting as we speak). I'm backing up my test store so I can rollback if needed, and will be installing ZLB on top of IH2.. Standby for my results..

I downloaded IH2 Version: 2.0 Rev 8d from the addons page today.
this is a screenshot of the file structure with the file in question highlighted. is this not correct?

Yeah, I don't have that file either (main_product_image.php) in my IH2 version (v2.0 Rev 8d) That's why I thought the ZLB version of the file needed to be modified to create the desired behavior...

Will wait for Diva's testing to be concluded before I go seek out the IH2 version of that file and attempt to merge it with the ZLB version.

[ScriptJunkie]

Very interesting. I just re-downloaded IH2.0 Rev 8.d and the main product image file is in the package. I don't know how that's possible (that it wasn't there before but is now when it's the same version), but as long as I have it now, I'm happy :)

Will hold off merging the two until after hearing back from Diva.

I'm totally baffled then, I just downloaded the last 4 versions of IH2 and all of them had that file.

I am as well. Ultimately, did you:

Install IH2 (including uploading this one file individually) and then install ZLB (overriding that file with the ZLB version)

or

Did you install both IH2 and ZLB and then upload this file individually after merging the two versions?
