Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[hdonald]

For anyone that is interested, I have IH and Lightbox installed and working correctly on 1.3.8. I had to download the additional_images.pho zip posted somewhere in this thread and use it, but it works great, just the way it should! Thanks for a terrific mod!

Heather,
Can you be a bit more specific. Are both that you are running with 1.3.8 the latest version of IH2 and lightbox. Also, what order did you install them. We have one site only that is working and we loaded IH first on that one site. Tried it on another with no joy.

Do you have a link to your website please?

Hi Alex,

My other issue is if I use IE and click on a product, now I get the following error message: Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet Site. When I close this message, I'm taken to the Internet Explorer Cannot Display The Webpage error. But when I refresh, I can then view the product! This doesn't happen in FireFox. Hmm....

Here's my website: TheDiva

Thanks for your help.

Hi Alex,

I resolved my initial problem... I found an additional jscript_lightbox.php in includes/modules/pages/product_info file.

Still having the IE issue though.

Thanks,

Yes, this is a bug in the lightbox code, the close button is a link to the same page. There is an onclick event for this button that overrides this behaviour, but sometimes it doesn't want to work. I've got no idea why that is, it could be that there is some conflicting code that stops the binding from occurring. Anyway, the solution to this is to change the label from being a link, to a div in the javascript. This prevents this from ever happening.

I have have IH2 2.0 and Lightbox 1.4 installed on 1.3.8. I installed IH2 first and got that working properly. I then installed Lightbox. Somewhere in this thread there is a zip file that I installed due to Lightbox not working correctly and that seemed to solve all issues and got things working correctly. (additional images zip file)

I wish I could be of better help but I am NOT a programmer in any way shape or form. I spent most of today fooling around trying to get it to work, back and forth between Hoverbox and Lightbox. One issue I ran into was that files conflict so if Hoverbox was ever installed all files need to be deleted as well as sql.

I know the first couple of times I tried to install on my test site I missed files or put them in the wrong places. I think, I don't really remember because I have done so much work on the site today (I'm confusing myself, lol) that I put some of the include files in template_default as well as my custom folder. You could try that to see if it helps.

Are you referring to the IE issue? or my first issue?

Im talking about the first issue, where you click the close button and it redirects you to the home page, it happens in opera as well. I presume the script encounters an error during the close operation and then when it terminates it doesn't send false to the link, so the link activates. That is why it shouldn't be a link.

I have that issue resolved. Found I had an additional JScript in the product_info file. Removed it and now I'm all good. Just gotta get a handle on the IE issue.

Thanks

Ok, I had to install this on a fresh install, couldn't get it to work properly and then decided to compare files from the old install that worked and the new one. The new now works. I don't know why I added files, but I know it works so here is my file structure that doesn't match the install instructions.

includes/modules/additional_images.php (zip file found in this thread)
includes/modules/classic/additional_images.php (zip file)
includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php (zip file)

includes/templates/template_default/css/stylesheet_lightbox.css
includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_lightbox.php
includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/jscript/ (all files) (will make the IH hover work)
includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php

These are in addition to what was in the install directions. I don't know what did the trick, I don't really want to fool around to find out, lol, my eyes are crossing. Alex, I hope that helps you. I love this mod! It really sets my site apart from the others.

Now back to my other problem.......
