Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[ScriptJunkie]

Hi Nina

Many times when I was new to Zen Cart, I felt overwhelmed and like giving up. But thanks to the wonderful people in the Zen Cart community and all the help I got on the forums, I stuck with it. And it is very worth it! I think one day you will feel the same

Regarding uploading....You should NOT have to create new folders, as the folders for Zen Cart are already in place. Creating new folders will only break your cart.

Suggest you download and install a file upload program like FileZilla for Mac. This is a free program that will allow you to upload files while keeping the file structure intact.

Below are links to the instructions on how to configure FileZilla once you have it installed on your Mac. Once you have it configured, you can begin using it to install your files.

YouTube Video Instructions

The video is probably easier to follow and understand

Good luck & happy Zenning

Thanks you so much for great answers ScriptJunkie, sigung and DarkAngel!! *Free hugs* for you I'm so grateful that you would answer me, I even considered quitting Zen Cart and just stick to ETSY since I'm such a newbie and things are too complicated for me, but it looks brighter now. I'll do the backup and try to install the light-box this evening...

One question I forgot to ask was concerning step 4: "Upload the entire contents of the includes folder and the images folder to your server, again keeping the file structure intact." How can I manage to "keep the file structure intact"? I've unzipped the ZIP in my MAC. When I'm at the File Managers upload page, my pointer won't let me choose the entire "includes" and "images" folds, so shall I create two new folders where my zencart is located in the Filemanager and call the folders "includes" and "images" and then create and name the sub-folders within them and then upload all the files one by one into them in the same place/order they are in the ZIP file?
