Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[PUREchocolatetruffle]

Hi PUREchocolatetruffle,
following up on DivaVocals earlier suggestion.
If you still have the original ZLB zip file you downloaded (if not then re-download it) unzip again it so you know you have a totally fresh install.sql file.
open install.sql in a text editor:
mac - TextEdit
windows - notepad

highlight all of the text in the file and then copy it.
go to the zen cart admin > tools > install sql patches

paste the contents of the install.sql file you copied here.
click send and cross your fingers

hopefully this will work for you.

Thank you very much Niestudio. However, I've already done that (several times) I think the problem is in my database (according to the image I've attached in a earlier post. I'll contact my web provider to get that fixed and then try again according to your advice as I regard ZLB as a fantastic add-on and great improvement to my online shop.

in the code, try

rel="lightbox-g"

instead of

rel="lightbox"

Thank you for the tip, truly appreciate the help.

Firstly, a big, big thank you to niestudio for helping me out of my trouble when trying to install the latest version of Zen Lightbox.
Now my website is working 99%. However, I've just discovered that Lightbox suddenly doesn't work any longer on my EZ page. I've checked under Admin that EZ-page support has "true" value.

The "next" images on my EZ page now open in a new browser window where as they - before my upgrade - opened within a Lightbox frame.

Any idea how I can correct this problem ?

Many thanks in advance.

I am using Zen Cart v1.3.9h

I am having trouble displaying the images once clicked on. The Lightbox opens but no image appears. It is blank.

Can anyone offer a suggestion? Thank you in advance!

Hi Kim,
for now with ez pages you have to manually link the lightbox to your image by adding a rel tag

<a href="your_image.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="your_thumbnail.jpg"/></a>

if you have more than one image AND you want to have the previous and next buttons use rel="lightbox-g" instead

an upgrade to ZLB 1.6.2 should fix this for you.
for your EZ page, you will have to follow the same info i just gave Kim.

Thank you niestudio. I will give this a try!

[gsallen101289]

Ok, niestudio, that was simple and exactly what I needed. I cannot thank you enough!

Would you happen to know if I can use with captions?

<a href="myimage.jpg" rel="here is my caption">

Where can rel="here is my caption"> be inserted?

Close, it would be title="here is my caption" just after the rel

rel="lightbox" title="here is my caption"

that should work for you
