Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[knobbery]

Hello,

A new user here, we have a new zencart that has been implemented and i installed he zen lightbox yesterday. Works like a charm, however i have 1 issue, that perhaps someone could shed some light

1- If my product has no attributes defined, the lighbox works fine. ex here

2- However if my product has attributes defined, the image still opens up in a pop up. Ex here


We use the same product image for the attributes but for some reason the lighbox wont be triggered for these products.

Please any suggestions would be great

Thanks

HI,

Does anyone have any pointers for me on this issue..

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

I just upgraded to 1.5, I am still having the same issue where images which have an attribute defined are still opening up in a popup, ones that are without the Attributes open just fine in a Light Box. I hope the contributor on this feature can help me out..

Installed Lightbox (copied) all files according to instructions, but got this error messages (after updating the install.sql):

1146 Table 'netkompa_zc4.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Does anybody know what it means, please?

Copied the: jscript_zen_lightbox.php, to root (/public_html/). Was that the right thing to do?

Can use external links with Lightbox?

Alex - that takes off the next and prev off the main pic and will work untill you release the next. Thank you!

Thanks for the update. The next release will probably be out before Zen Cart 2.0.0.

didn't work yet, maybe i explain me in a bad way


installation seems to be ok, no error adding sql trough phpmyadmin

but when i go in admin section, setting does not display

You should be running the install.sql code via your Zen Cart Admin (as per the installation instructions).

Running the code via phpMyAdmin is fine, but only if you manually update your table names (if you use prefixes).

Try running the code via your Zen Cart Admin and see what happens.

Hi Ameet,

You've got a few errors on your site. I recommend that you fix these. Try installing Firefox and using the FireBug addon to locate the problems.

An existing contribution that's installed may be causing a conflict with Zen Lightbox here.

Can you list all the contributions you have installed please?

Thanks,

Alex

Installed Lightbox (copied) all files according to instructions, but got this error messages (after updating the install.sql):

1146 Table 'netkompa_zc4.configuration_group' doesn't exist

Copied the: jscript_zen_lightbox.php, to root (/public_html/). Was that the right thing to do?

How did you run this SQL code? Via your Zen Cart Admin or phpMyAdmin?

The jscript_zen_lightbox.php file should not be placed on the root. It is required only if you need to use the lightbox effect on extra pages. Please check the readme.html file for more information.

Can use external links with Lightbox?

Yes, this should be possible.

Try setting up an EZ-Page with a link to an external image.

It should work... but I've not tried it yet!

my info is a couple of pages back and like many others when doing the sql I got the same error that the others did when inserting it in the ZenCart Admin section.

I did however insert it into the database via MySQL by adding the prefix for my tables but I still have nothing in the admin section for settings.

What can I do, oh I did recheck for the millionth time (it feels that way...lol) to make sure all the files are in the correct place and all former version should not still be hiding either.

What else is there for me to do...as I said the lightbox feature works but no settings to be found on the page in admin section...and yes have verified the tables are in the database.

[DarkAngel]

disregard my post I got it to show in the admin panel.

1. went into server and deleted everything again from the uploading of files and made sure all old version was gone too.

2. ran the uninstaller from MyphpAdmin

3. uploaded new files once more to proper places

4. Ran the sql installer from MyphpAdmin by adding the prefix_ infront of the main parts and it said it installed successfully

went into admin for my store and lo and behold there are the admin setting to change if need be.

hope that helps someone else...I forgot to mention that no matter what I did the admin section would not let me insert the sql coding at all.

I got this problem too....

yup, this is probably the case of some path invalid or smth.

TS, may want to relook at the code

- i query into the mysql via the Zencart DB interface, but still doesnt work.
let me know again once your are done, for now, i will uninstalled it.

Hi Alex

Thanks for getting back to me. We actually had a company do the site for us. So i am a bit clueless on what errors I am looking for .. Are these related to Zen Lightbox you have encountered? Or otherwise. Can you point in a direction that i can check on firebug. I just installed it and was trying to figure out what to look for.

I have installed personally the following contributions. I am not sure if they had installed any previously as well. I know we have he Testimonial manager, Banner Manager and wish list as some of the features on the site.

Google Analytics
Advanced Cross Sell
Zen Cart Lightbox

Any pointers would be great.
