Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[niestudio]

Hi folk,

I'm redoing my retail site. I've installed both Fast & Easy Checkout and Zen Lightbox. Both install the file jquery-1.4.4.min.js

Zen Lightbox puts it into includes/templates/MyTemplate/jscript/

FEC puts it into includes/templates/MyTemplate/jscript/jquery/

My editor says the files are identical. Can I remove one of them? If so, which one?

Thanks,

Rob

I wouldn't remove either, because the code will still be looking for it.
Instead tell the code not to look for it anymore. see the discussion here http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...postcount=2476

note: there was a follow up. the code should have been

//echo'<script type …… 

the // before the echo

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, making that edit simply prevents Zen Lightbox from doing its thing. The larger image opens in a new page -- no lightbox effect and not even the standard pop-up.

I was just trying to be tidy. I'll leave both files where they are.

Back in this post, I made note of potential problems when jQuery is loaded more than once, such as with ZLB. Although I wasn't aware that other modules also load jQuery when the module is used, the problem is still easily solved.


Setup jQuery to be loaded all the time.

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/jscript_1jQuery.js

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.


Now that jQuery is loaded globally, it does not does not need to be loaded again. I've already described, in this post, how to disable ZLB from loading jQuery and the same applies to any other module. Unfortunately, I don't know what file FEC uses to load jQuery so you will have to find it. Odds are though, it uses an 'echo' or 'require' in one of its PHP files and using // will comment out that line.

Also, once you've commented out other modules from loading jQuery, you do not have to upload their jQuery file. This also allows you to determine what version of jQuery you want to use. Some of the newer jQuery stuff requires the newer version but usually, older jQuery scripts will still work with the newer version.

What would cause the image to open the image location when clicked and not open the image with the lightbox effect?

I have double checked the download - all files are correctly placed, I did this on a test site and it works fine but getting the above on a clients live site.

Any Ideas?

Would need a URL to see what you see.

Generally you just need gallery mode enabled in the ZLB admin area.
can you post a link to your site?

I have it turned on in Admin , dso they have to be named the same but with the _1, _2 etc..

do they have to be named the same but with the _1, _2 etc..

Yes, they do. Zen Lightbox follows the same file naming/file structure protocol that Zen Cart does. Here's a tutorial on the subject.

I don't know if anyone noticed but the error "Fixed model number display error on product_reviews page" in Version 1.6 has not been fixed. does anyone know a fix on this, the help would be greatly appreciated.
That error on the review page looks pretty bad. I would look into it myself but I'm not very good with all the coding .
Thanks.

Did you run install.sql? Looking at the source for your site, I dont see any parts of ZLB being loaded.

If you did run install.sql, do you have it enabled in your admin?
