Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[bristalwatches]

Hi All,

I have read the thread on how to correctly name the images and my lightbox still does not show additional images. Additional images are set to "on" in my admin and images are named the same in images/ and images/large folders and I have had no luck. Lighbox functions fine except for the multiple images part.

Is there a code change needed. I am using v1.3.7 and have the updated lightbox. My test product is:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I set-up Image Handler 2 to handle my images and it works fine with my install of the lightbox on zen 1.3.7.

Could you try that out? its as simple as just browsing your local machine for the image files and uploading them.


I know its not a fix but it could make life easier.

Yes, I have tried Image Handler to no avail. Thanks Adam for the input though. It seems as though lightbox is working great, except is won't see my additional images.

Most likely, the names of your image files are incorrect.

They should be as follows...

Main Image = file.jpg
Additional Image 1 = file_001.jpg
Additional Image 2 = file_002.jpg

...and so on.

That's the format you need to use. I noticed from your site that the main images appear be be named as file_000.jpg.

If you rename the files to match the format as above that should sort it. :)

Well I tried renaming the files. The test product I have are

Main Image = tic_substl.jpg
Additional Image 1 = tic_substl_001.jpg

I also put those files in the large folder and that didn't help. So, I then renamed them adding a _LRG to the end of them and still no additional images are being read from lightbox.

I have also made sure yesterday, I had a good install of lightbox and all seems to be fine except for the additional images. I know addtional images are selected in admin.

I have also tried with and without image handler. I am at a loss as I have never had scripts not function. Any more help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Actually, it is the template I am using. I am so upset. This template has been nothing but trouble. I don't want this thread to get off topic so I won't comment on the maker as I am sure you can all guess who.

However, does anyone know of a way to fix the lightbox coding or template coding to work with a template that doesn't want to accept lightbox?

If I could get the additional pictures to work with this template, my week of struggle with this template will be finished and I can get some products up an selling. Thanks again.

[Alex Clarke]

Can you get additional images to display normally (ie - static on the product info pages) with your template?

[bristalwatches]

Not with my template, only with templates such as silverfish and redpassion.

Lightbox works with my template for one image just fine, but when it comes to reading additional images, it doesn't look for them. The ligthbox with the other two templates sniff the additional images out with no problem. This makes me confident there should be no code manipulation in the lightbox script needed, however I might have to change code in my template script, but I don't know where or what code.

[bristalwatches]

If you want, I could email you some files you might want to take a look at from my template to see what is miscoded. Just a thought.

I'll have you know, this templates' sideboxes were all miscoded...they were mapping to incorrect places. I have been on this template for days. I had to recode most of the sideboxes and I have never seen zen cart in my life. You'd think the coders would test this stuff. That is all I will say about this.

[bristalwatches]

So if you could get my template to function with your lightbox script, my site would be looking much better. Right now, I am thinking of scrapping zencart and getting my old site up and running. However, I would rather just keep the one that is there now at bristalwatches.com. Thanks in advance if you can let me now what to change to get the lightbox to work with my template.

Thx
