Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[niestudio]

Hi. The answer is probably in here somewhere, but I just cant find it...
(Zen Cart 1.3.8 - Lightbox 1.6.2)

Lightbox work just fine, but I am missing the Prev/Next links in half the image?
I.e. clicking in left/right part of the image should work as prev/next link, not only clicking the exact spot of the prev/next buttons.

I don't know if this is supposed to be the default behaviour or not?

I would appreciate if someone could please enlighten me!

Can you post a link?

Shure! :)

Try changing the 'Always show Prev / Next' setting in your admin

Jepp!
Why didn't I think of that...

But I'd like it both ways!
How could I achieve that?

Also, a different question:
How can I add caption to my images?
Like in this shop?

change your css file to look like this:

#lbPrevLink {
	left: 0;
	background: transparent url(../images/zen_lightbox/prevlabel.gif) no-repeat 0 15%;

}

#lbPrevLink:hover {
}

#lbNextLink {
	right: 0;
	background: transparent url(../images/zen_lightbox/nextlabel.gif) no-repeat 100% 15%;
}

#lbNextLink:hover {
	
}

no caption support built in right now

Thanks a million mate!
-Kind of obvious now...

That caption-thing is a pity though!
How do that other shop achieve this? They are also using an ordinary lightbox what I can see?...

There is actually a caption of sorts, it shows your product name, but in order to have custom captions for each image they'd have to be entered in the database somewhere. Right now your additional images are just uploaded to the server with the proper suffixes and with no additional database info needed. Not sure where the custom captions would come from.

thoughts?

Yes I know what you mean.
There is a mod I looked into, but I found the idea to fetch the caption from a text-file even more complicated to handle, then adding text to the picture directly...

I guess for this to be practical, it would have to be done directly in admin - add new product.
Having the possibility of adding additional images with a string "caption" connected to the img file, written to the database...

Even better if we could fetch the information directly from the img file! Exif?...

Sorry, I'm not in that league...

I'm using this mod and it works great and I preloaded my customers images for him, now he's been at it updating products and is loading HUGE images that are sometimes 2000 x 3000 pixels and he's complaining that the images are too big to see ... I concur. Is there any any to make changes to this add-on to limit either the width and or height without changing the aspect ratio of the image?
