Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[niestudio]

Can you please explain the EZ Pages functionality?
I cannot get lightbox to work on http://www.mermagica.eu/index.php?ma...mermaid_racing.

"EZ-Pages

By default the lightbox effect will be applied to all links that point to images on your EZ-Pages."

I am using the Define Pages Editor and linking it through an Easy Page... the define_mermaid_racing page has the following code: <a href="../images/mini_tail.jpg" rel="Mini Tail">Mini Tail</a>

I created an EZ Page (via define pages editor) with a link to a photo in the images directory, but it's not working. The jscript_zen_lightbox.php file is located in the following directory: /modules/pages/mermaid_racing

Any guidance is appreciated...

Hi Joe, try setting the rel="Mini Tail" to rel="lightbox" and see if that helps you.

Many thanks, that works like a charm!

No, the only change you make is inside install.sql.
Did you find out what your prefix is as I described?

Yes. Here is a copy paste: ('DB_PREFIX', 'znc_')

Had you tried to modify this install.sql file already? Why does it say hipdockc_znc1.configuration_group now?

I made no changes at all to the install file. I viewed it and did a search for zc1. I thought I was supposed to change it to my prefix of zc. I read the entire page and didn't find "zc." I searched for "configuration." I didn't find hipdockc_znc1.configuration_group. Maybe I am looking at the wrong file altogether.
I unzipped the file and opened the folder.
I viewed the "install SQL 8KB" file.
Right now it is showing date last modified as 01/23/2011. I just downloaded lightbox a few days ago.
I am unsure of my next step but I think I need to open this file again and search for hipdockc_znc1.configuration_group. I think I need to change hipdockc_znc1.configuration_group to
Hipdockc_znc_.configuration_group because that is my prefix in the admin files.
1. Do I change hipdockc_znc1.configuration_group to
Hipdockc_znc_.configuration_group?
2. There is a SQL install update file that I haven't touched. Are changes needed there?

Thanks so much for helping me!

Fix for Potential Problem
--------------------------------------------------
If you are already using/loading jQuery then you might have problems with your other jQuery scripts. I know this because it happened to me.


Although this module has a nice touch in that it only loads jQuery when Zen Lightbox is to be used, that can create a "double loading of jQuery" and your other jQuery scripts may not work.

To solve that problem, edit this file:

includes/classes/zen_lightbox/slimbox.php

line #12
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $template->get_template_dir('.js', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base, 'jscript') . '/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>';

change to:
//echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $template->get_template_dir('.js', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base, 'jscript') . '/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>';

That prevents Zen Lightbox from loading jQuery again and all scripts will now work together nicely.

Thanks Rob,
I have it on my to-do list for the next version to add a check to see if jQuery is already loaded (from another plugin) and if so, then not to load the one for ZLB. That should resolve this issue too.

hello, on product info page,
there's one product main image, several product additional images and several page links which use rel="lightbox", when i click on one link, i can click them one by one with the button next,
its nice for the main image, additional images and one page link, but i don't want the other page links display in the same lightbox with them, i want the others display seperately, click one link to open the lightbox (no next button), close it, then click another link to open the lightbox

what do i modify the codes to make it done? thanks

I can be dense at times so please explain this comment of your further. the way LB works on my shop is the product main image clicked on will get you the LB effect with the next/previous buttons for the additional pages.

this way you see the main one with the additional all at the same time. then the next product page is the same with its own LB effect.

now does yours do this too---yes???--then I misunderstood what you are asking and I am sorry

do you mean that you want lb in main one only then to have the nex/previous buttons NOT show so they can then go to the bottom of the page to see the additional images also each individually? as a customer that is one more step that may deter me from purchasing when I can see them all at once...just my thoughts only.

still not the right thing you ask...again sorry

as for links I had no idea a link could come up as a LB effect.

and if you have done it yet a url to your store would be nice.

A Link is always helpful for us to see exactly what you mean, but I [i]think[/] you just want to disable gallery mode in admin>config>Zen lightbox

Not sure exactly how you plan to go about your checking but here is something to consider.

jQuery must load before any scripts to be used with it. As Linux will list alphabetically and thus, Zen Cart will load alphabetically, I've had to use a naming schema like: jscript_1jquery.js in order to have a correct a load sequence.
