hi there im a complete newbie using zencart, i just installed this addon which is excellent but i have a problem

i have added additional pics in the format like this
abc.jpg
abc_01.jpg
abc_01.jpg
....
....

now when i clicked the main pic it display in lightbox no problem, it shows that its the 1 of 7 pics, and all next, close, etc buttons, but when i click next to view the 2nd pic, it shows the loading icon but doesnt go to the 2nd pic at all. if i click direct on the additional pic instead of the main one, lightbox comes up but doesnt show pic at all. what have i done wrong or need doing? i have rename template name and followed the instruction already, thanks very much for your help

I had to put the additional pictures in the main picture directory and the large picture directory for lightbox to work on my additional pictures.

I am having some problems with Zen Lightbox. If there is no image file found to display the lightbox appears and the little rotating orb thing in the middle of screen just sits there and rotates. The customer might not know that you have to click the orb to close the window.

Also I have to temporarily uninstall the mod but I do not know how to change the SQL code back to its original state. Any help would be appreciated.

as a complete newbie i managed to do it last night after an hr of investigation!!

main pic and additional pics all need to be in main image directory, then copy those additional pics to the "large" directory again. so there will be a lot of duplicated image files. i resized those additional pics to a much small size in the main image directory to save some host space. then turn the lightbox on again, it is working now.

the reason i resizing the pics is because all my product pics are large. if main pics are in sub-dir under "images" dir then u need to create the same sub-dir under "large" dir.

hope it helps guys!!

Before you go to all the trouble of modifying images, checkout the Image Handler Mod.
Make sure you backup EVERYTHING between installations of ANY mod(s). Better safe than sorry.

I've got lightbox and imagehandler2 installed and I'm trying to make some changes that will allow me to have two different links under the main picture, each link would load a different size of popup.

So clicking the pic or 'larger image' would popup at say 500x500 and clicking 'supersize' would cause the popup to activate at say 1000x1000.

I had hoped that changing the values of large image height/width in tpl_modules_main_product_image:

document.write(\'<a href="' . zen_lightbox($products_image_large, addslashes($products_name), LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, LARGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT)

would have done the trick but no luck, does anyone have any suggestions.

I have had zen lightbox installed for months, and I could never get additional images working no matter what I tried. I don't know what the problem is. It just does not work. I have tried renaming them in different formats, putting duplicates in main images, and large folder, all combinations of this.

Today I decided I'd try image handler 2, and I installed it, and added additional images through that, and no go.

I'm not sure what to do.

Than I checked the config>product types, and it had additional images set to 0, and I was pretty suprised I never saw this, I enabled it to 1, and it still does not work!

What am i missing? - also does anyone have a working example of zen lightbox working with additional imageS?

I do and I had problems with it also...it is working now and I believe that the only thing that fixed it was the re-naming of the files...check out this thread to see if anything might help you.
good luck!

Image Handler automatically renames them, is there a problem with that?

I ask this question back in December, but didn't get an answer. Does any body know why. I have un-stalled and re-installed a few times still the same thing.

This is my issue and it may have been covered. I installed zen lightbox but when you go to zen lightbox configuration there is nothing there. It seems to be working ok, Could you please tell me what I did wrong for there not to be any controls there to set.. Thank you
