Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[kutigeza]

Hi again.

I was trying again install zen lightbox to my shop, with the doublecheck and strict following of all installation (and upgrade) manuals. (deleted all previous lightbox files and installed newly zen LB 1.4)

Unfortunately LightBox Still not working - and don't even IH2 pop ups work.... Large images simply shown as picture files in my server...

(FYI: after my previous try I've set back the backup of my shop taken before install process, so this was a completely new try, and of course zen lightbox is enabled in admin)

Can anyone help? What might I did wrong? What file should I try to find the controller script of this - showing large pictures in lightbox- function?

I have only ZenAuction, IH2, Zen LightBox, Freeshipping And TinyMCE installed in my zencart system.

my shop is located at: http://www.xlr8.hu

Hi all,

I've reviewed this forum before installing the lightbox mod (lesson learnt from previous mods ) and its clear that Javascript needs to be enabled on a user's browser for this to work.

My question is this, exactly how does it fail? Both with the lightbox for large images and the gallery for additional images. Does it failover back to some kind of standard behaviour, does it just refuse to show the image, or some other behaviour.

Thanks for your help.

Possum.

Hi again.

Just to test out this bug I've installed a brand new ZC on one of my free domains.

Its only pure ZC 1.3.7.1 and Zen LightBox 1.4 and IH2.


Server Info and admin:
http://married.hu/admin/server_info.php

login: admin
pass: admin

Lightbox still not working, but it puts the large image to the very bottom of the page. Is there any workaround to solve this problem?

Go to line 23 and remove the ". '$'".
The line should look now like this:
$products_image_base = str_replace($products_image_extension , '', $products_image);

Thats it. Hope it helps others.

kutigeza hers something else I found that may help you.

Thank you Alex,CES, Climax, Sigel. It is really working with IH2 now although no hover. But it is working at least. Thank you so much.

Then find line 92

// Link Preparation: 

and insert below it the following:

// bof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-22
    if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_STATUS == 'true') {
    
    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="' . zen_lightbox($products_image_large, addslashes($products_name), LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, LARGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '" rel="lightbox[gallery]" title="' . addslashes($products_name) . '">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';
    
    } else {
            
    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>';
    
    }
    // eof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-22 

Then directly under that, comment out the following line of code:

$script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>'; 

so it looks like this;

//    $script_link = '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--' . "\n" . 'document.write(\'' . ($flag_display_large ? '<a href="javascript:popupWindow(\\\'' . $large_link . '\\\')">' . $thumb_slashes . '<br />' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>' : $thumb_slashes) . '\');' . "\n" . '//--></script>'; 

I hope that helps, and I'm not treading on anyone's toes.

Great mod by the way, thanks.

Craig

This is a fantastic mod. Thank you so much again.

Still not work with that hack... ((

I guess you will have to use one or the other. I know some of them have got it to work, but it takes time to track down the right file you are having trouble with. Sorry, I can not answer your question.

How exactly do I get lightbox to show multiple images? I have a file named n.jpg I want it to say next and show n1.jpg.

You'll need to setup multiple images with Zen Cart correctly. Please check the readme/documentation for Zen Lightbox v1.4 for more information.

Hi Alex I don't mean to have to re-ask this, but I have one question. Right under the Picture when you enlarge it, you have were it says larger image. The link is of centered. It wasn't like that before I installed lightbox. Could you point me in the right direction how to fix this
