Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[jayson.gurney]

Hi is there any updates regarding the extra text that is displayed on the product review page and the failing to display review product images in the wonderful light box.

[Alex Clarke]

besides additional images lightbox works fine with me and I've been happy about it but I'm using ligthbox with wordpress as well for certain features and photos. I was wondering is there a way to lauch those picture sets somehow with zen also. It would help a lot our navigation on our site. This is how it works on wp:

<a href="feature/gal1-1.jpg" rel="lightbox[gal1]"></a>
<a href="feature/gal1-2.jpg" rel="lightbox[gal1]"></a>
<a href="feature/gal1-3.jpg" rel="lightbox[gal1]"></a>


<a href="feature/image-1.jpg" rel="lightbox"><img src="images/thumb-1.jpg" width="100" height="40" alt="" /></a>

is there a way to get few occasional links to work in similar matter (ofcourse with product images as well) in zen cart?

Zen Lightbox uses rel="gallery" in the href line of code. Try this and it should work!

I was working on a fix, but had to park that for the moment. I'm currently overloaded with work and am setting up 4 Zen Cart sites for different clients who all want lots of customised stuff!

I'll try and get an update released asap. :)

hia


have got light box working on site, a few questions.

1. ive read on the thread there is a error with the hover function in IE (im using v6,) . ive disabled it from the admin page at the moment but will like to use it. i get an error message at the bottom of iE when it is on (clint y etc ) , but it does work. the error dissaperes if the page is reloaded. any ideas on fix for this

2. ive installed IH2, im assuming that when one image is uploaded from the products discription page, IH2 will create a small, medium and large image versions for the image. Now with the lightbox istalled which image is being called up to be displayed? the default image i uploaded? and are the other size images still being created (small and medium large) as when looking for these images within the image directory i could not find the various size images.

the reason this is bothering me, i do not want zencart to be showing the default size imge on the main homepage with the dimensions just reduced, as the site is really slow anyway. trying to speed it up.

hope this made sence to someone. thanks/ in advance


need to have site online this week

I believe a solution was posted in the Image Handler 2 support thread.

are the other size images still being created (small and medium large) as when looking for these images within the image directory i could not find the various size images.

Look in the bmz_cache directory in root of shop. More about this on Image Handler 2 support thread and iH2 readme and support docs.

Alex thanks for the tip. I tried

<a href="/feature/killer-1.jpg" rel="gallery[gal1]"></a>
<a href="/feature/killer-2.jpg" rel="gallery[gal1]"></a>
<a href="/feature/killer-3.jpg" rel="gallery[gal1]"></a>


<a href="/feature/killer-1.jpg" rel="gallery"><img src="/images/thumb-1.jpg" width="100" height="40" alt="" /></a>

but it didnt work... can it only be used in product pages or have i messed up something..

Well... the above code uses 2 different 'rel' values. They should be the same.

Also you'll need to call the lightbox jscript file. This needs to be called on all pages you want to use the lightbox effect on. You'll notice that this file is automatically loaded when the product_info_display page is opened. Check out the file structure of Zen Lightbox and it should become more clearer. :)

Without re-reading the whole thread I don't know if this was brought up already but here goes.........To get the product info page or any other page using the light box you need to make a change to the following line in includes/templates/YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php

document.write('<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_image_lightbox_IH2_url($products_image_large, addslashes($products_name), LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, LARGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '" rel="lightbox[gallery]" title="' . addslashes($products_name) . '">' . zen_image($products_image_medium, addslashes($products_name), MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br /><span class="imgLink">' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</span></a>'; ?>');

You need to add \ in two places....like this.....all the way at the end:

document.write('<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_image_lightbox_IH2_url($products_image_large, addslashes($products_name), LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, LARGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '" rel="lightbox[gallery]" title="' . addslashes($products_name) . '">' . zen_image($products_image_medium, addslashes($products_name), MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br /><span class="imgLink">' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '<\/span><\/a>'; ?>');

To get the product info page or any other page using the light box

Barco,

Can you clarify meaning of this statement? Sorry I don't understand.

huh you would think I could finish a thought when typing with three screaming children in the house.

what I meant to say was "To get the product info page or any other page using the light box to validate"

You're lucky I am not there, you would have four! ;-)

Change:
</span></a>

TO:
<\/span><\/a>

Thanks for the tip!
