Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[novastar]

Well I had the attribute mod installed before I installed lightbox, and it works fine. Lightbox was extra easy to install and it works good too, I just want to know how to get them to work together.

I uploaded the files to install lightbox as directed. Then, when I went to phpMyAdmin to run the install.sql, I got an error message that it couldn't find the table configuration_group. I tried renaming to zen_configuration_group, as that is how it showed in the database, but that did not work.
I ran the script from the Zen Cart admin and somehow I have 7 Zen Lightbox options to choose from if I go to the Configuration menu in the Admin.
The main problem is my home page for my store is now gone. Completely gone.
I uninstalled the Lightbox files and folders and of course, my page is still gone.
I have no idea what I've done or how to fix it.
The URL is www.orchidfreak.com/store. I am using Zen Cart version 1.3.9h and lightbox version 1.6.
Can anyone help me please?
Just shy of panicking here.........

@tsheridan

do you still have index.php in the root of /store?
did you happen to make any backups before starting the installation?

Yes, index.php is still in the root. I had a backup and completely reloaded the entire store directory.....no luck.
What about the install script that I ran through the admin? Could that be messing me up somehow?

are you still able to get to your admin area?

[tsheridan]

Yes, I can get to the admin area, and yes I ran the uninstall script which removed all the occurrences of Zen Lightbox in the configuration menu, however I still have no store home page.

very strage. did you have a backup of your DB as well?

[tsheridan]

No, I didn't back it up separately, but it still seems to be there, if I log in to the myPHPAdmin.

I'm not sure what to do at this point.

Unfortunately, I deleted all the files & folders for the lightbox via FTP, as opposed to running the uninstall script, because I didn't even realize it was there, so I don't know if that messed anything up, however the home page was gone, after uploading the folders via FTP, prior to running the install script.

Initially I tried to install via the myPHPAdmin, however I got that error message, so then ran the script through the Admin directly in Zen Cart.

Does this maybe provide any more info about what happened, so that someone might be able to tell me how to fix it?

you did right removing via ftp...when uninstalling the script only takes out the coding you still manually need to remove files.

have you tested with the default template to see if store reappears?

if it does then compare folders and see what was taken from the templates folder that is in the default template folder.
