How to block the navigation bar from included in lightbox?

[tryphon]

#prevLink,#nextLink {
background:transparent url(../../template_default/images/lightbox/blank.gif) no-repeat;
display:block;
height:100%;
width:63px;
position:absolute;
top:-25px;
}

seem to work but there a tiny problem, please look at attached image ...

How can I make so i have a complete white box, not just the two rabbit ears

I have implemented the change proposed by Taydu. It works fine except that :

1/ the "rabbit ears" effect described by Taydu occurs (to the best of my knowledge, this post of Taydu was never answered to)

2/ on all the pictures appear the PREV and NEXT buttons (without this mod, on the first picture only NEXT appears, and on the last one only PREV appears).

As the code of the stylesheet_lightbox.css has changed since Taydu's post, I insert hereunder the modification I have performed :

#prevLink, #nextLink{
/* bof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-18 */
width: 63px;
/* eof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-18 */
height: 32px !important;
/* bof : modif based on taydu's post of 22/06/2007 */
position:absolute;
top:-25px;
/* eof : modif based on taydu's post of 22/06/2007 */ background: transparent url(../images/zen_lightbox/blank.gif) no-repeat; /* Trick IE into showing hover */
display: block;
}

Any idea about what goes wrong?

Hello! I'd appreciate any help with this. I'm sure it's been answered before but I can't find anything to help me out.

I installed zenLightBox and it's working absolutely beautifully! Except that I can't seem to get it out from under my CSS menu. I'm using this menu in my header. I followed the directions for wrapping it in the div tag, but it doesn't seem to be working out for me. The address is http://www.homiciderocker.com/zencart/. I am not using ImageHandler.

Thanks!!

I figured out my problem. I hope it helps you others. I was just making the mistake of wrapping the menu in a tag that said "div id" and not "div class". Once I changed it to "div class", I had no problem.

Ha. Silly middle of the night goof on my part.

I've installed Zen lightbox and it's not working. I have read through the posts here, and I've done what was suggested; checked each file, renamed the two specified folders to my active template, (which is cherry_zen.) I ran the SQL patch and that appears to have worked correctly. When I look at the source code on my generated pages I see the jscript for lightbox, but I am still getting a popup window.

I sure would like to make this work.

Ideas? Thanks -

OK Here's the answer to my question. Review this post:

It was a problem with my template - cherry zen. It's an easy fix.

Love the mod now that it works!

I am having a problem... I purchased a template and installed lightbox perfectly but once I click on a product the product just opens up on a new full page. Here is the link: http://www.aokayofficial.com.previewdns.com.

Please advise!

I don't know which template you're using, but you should do a search for lightbox in your particular template support pages.

Often, there is a conflict with one or two template-specific files and lightbox.

Second, make SURE you downloaded ALL the files and they are all in the CORRECT folders.

After that, make sure the config files you edited (or think you've edited) you raised the permissions (755) in order for the edit to stick. Once you've confirmed that the files are correct, then re-restrict the permissions. (644)

hmmm.... which ones would be the config files? were we suppose to change the permission levels? I am using the template called "12541" from templatemonster.com the free template. Let me know!

Find the support for your template. There are probably config files that lightbox and your template are conflicting over - these would be the files you would need to edit, that is if that's the problem. If you're having this problem likely someone else with your template has already been there and resolved it. Wish I could be more help, but you have a different template than I do. I had the same problem as you do, but I can't be sure it's the same solution.
