Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[Gomlers]

yayyy! after taking a break and coming back and re-re-reading davewests directions and finally finding the slimbox zip that was posted I finally 'GOT IT' and my lightbox is now working in chrome. It was driving me nuts without my lightbox.

Thank you davewest!

For anyone else that finally discovers they or their customers have a problem with their stores lightbox in google chrome:

go here - http://mootools.net/download

and download the file - MooTools Core 1.3 with compatibility

Go to this post

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=2139

and find near the bottom and download the slimbox.zip file


unzip the the slimbox.zip file and upload the slimbox.php file to \includes\classes\zen_lightbox\, replacing the existing one.

Open the MooTools Core 1.3 file in a text editor. Highlight and copy the code, then paste the code into the two files (removing the code that's in them)

/includes/templates/Your_Template/jscript/
zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js
zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js

PERFECT!

Thanks a lot for your explanation!

but if you are using the current versions of both store and lightbox, this is not needed anymore...I do believe. I know this method I implemented myself prior to this last revision of both items.

I installed zen light box, then image handler. Evrything seems to be working fine except the lightbox doesn't open when I click on the main image for the product. Is there a way I can make this happen, or does it only work on the additional images?

You should Install the other way around as image handler and Lightbox share one file in common.

However just re-upload Lightboxes version of that file and you should be fine

-- I just cant remember the file name right now

[bloomingvine]

Hi bloomingvine, it looks to me like you missed one file during the install.
Check your server and see if you have: 'includes/templates/[your_template]/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php'

this is the file that makes the main image react to the lightbox code.

Just a general suggestion before posting a question in the support thread is to search to see if your answer has already been posted..

What you are asking is a subject which JUST been discussed in the last few pages of this support thread.. See if any of the previous discussions on this matter and the posted solutions help you... (Start at post 2515 and work your way up)

Yes I have dug through all 253 pages. So please bear with me.

I'm an osC user and am getting used to the better features of zc.

Here is my questions. I have installed the latest version of IH2 and Lightbox for 1.3.9h. Both installed no problem. IH2 was installed first and then lightbox.

Here is the issue.

i.e.

/images/manufacturer/ [manufacturers image goes here, irrelevant but oh well]

/images/companyname/IMAGE.jpg and IMAGE_01.jpg has been uploaded here.

Both images are 640x480.

IMAGE.jpg is a test color black and is the main image.
IMAGE_01.jpg is a test color red and is the second additional image.

When I go to the product page the main image by the product description is not there. Nothing is there. but the second additional image is there. I can hover over it and a 640x480 image of it pops up. I click on it and the light box version 640x480 pops up.

What happened to my main image IMAGE.jpg?

I cannot figure it out.

I'm trying to get by without upload a MEDIUM AND SMALL image. I just want to use ONE image size and have the software resize it under the settings I have in the admin section.

TIA

first make sure every file got uploaded and in the proper spot for IH2 AND then post in here IF you are having trouble with lightbox too

is lightbox working?

as for IH2 I myself only upload 1 size image for main and additional ones but have the settings correct---what you need to do is post a link to your store--especially the naughty page and post your settings of how you have your images to show.

then all can better assist you.

If IH2 is the only one that is not working properly I suggest you go to the IH2 thread and post there--also to get better help.

I've seen this questions asked but not answered.....here I go:

I have a js file to disable the right click function, displaying a copyright warning.

Where would I edit the zen lightbox files to get that js function to work on the lightbox image?

I know, I know....anyone really wanting it can get it...but it helps makes our case when images are blatantly taken.

thanks for any help. Great mod..thanks for all your hard work...

I know, I know....anyone really wanting it can get it...

Then let me add this.. Watermarks are MUCH more effective way to protect your images and provide REAL protection.. Right click scripts only deflect and deter only those who are not particularly web/computer savvy.. Non web/computer savvy folks are UNLIKELY perpetrators of image theft.
