[FONT=Times New Roman]Hi Barco[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I took your advice and I did not install the lightbox yet, not until I figure out the IH2[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I am trying to change the setting for bit larger for my S M L pictures, it is set in my admin /tools default size = 70x80 Medium= 88x100 Large=141x160[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I look in configuration, and play around in tools, but could not find a way to change the sizes[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Any idea?[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]I think I don’t have it install completely perfect, I can’t see the icon pictures in my admin, only when I click on preview I see the pop up picture, [/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]Should I re install it?[/FONT]

use the settings in admin>configuration>images......there should be settings for image handler there. Hint: when setting image sizes set either the width or height but not both.....unless you are sure that EVERY image you upload will have the same ratio width to height.....it easier to set on or the other and set the other to ZERO and let image handler work out the dimensions.......

This module is a beautiful thang! I have it installed on 2 sites running 1.3.6 in conjunction with IH2 and both are running smoothly.
The only comment I have is that occasionally when I click on an image, it will open in it's own full-page new window instead of the lightbox. If I then go back a page and click on the same image it will activate the lightbox. Again, this happens only occasionally. I haven't seen mention of this after perusing this thread and I'm wondering if others are experiencing this issue and if a cause/resolution has been found.

Thanks Alex for this great mod and Woody, Barco & others for recent support.

Could be one of the scripts has not fully loaded when you initially clicked. The mod utilizes four .js files, three of which are relatively large (appx 100KB total). Issue is more prevalent on highly congested/low bandwidth network connections, slower webhosts and slower clients.

After reading your comments, I do have the following concern: When they click on images, are dial-up (and equivalent) clients seeing images open in a new window instead of the lightbox because of the factors you mention? If so, I might want to re-consider this mod. The original image pop-up window seems to work beautifully cross-browser and no-matter the connection speed.

Personally, of my two sites, (listed below) this issue is occurring on BeadedLily but not the other, despite the fact that they are both running on the same host, same adsl etc. (PittiVintage is, however, an empty shell in comparison in terms of girth as it is being built and basically has no product.)
Webhost-wise I'm doing well with Camelot and my local adsl is pretty speedy. Maybe I should reload the .js files in the BeadedLily install?

You are correct. The readme is over simplified and does not include the code snippets which were merged into the core Zen Cart files provided in the mod package.

Woody,

Sorry for the very late reply to your last assistance to my issues, I was pulled away from this project for several days and unable to look into it further.

I really appreciate the time you invest in assisting others with a contribution that is not even yours. Says a lot about you.

I have resolved my problem, though it took some head scratching. After following your instructions carefully, I still could not get it to work. Turns out that some of the customization done by an earlier development team on the core files was not allowing the replacement of the image tag. Had to do with the rollover image for schematics available on some products. I had to go in and make some modifications to correct this.

All is well again in the land of playground equipment.

If you use the "Search this thread" option above and type in "z-index" it returns many instances of where and how the z-index was applied. It's likely you'll find your fix there.

Good luck!
