Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[studiotucker]

I have been toying with ZC v 1.3.8 locally on the xampp set up as recommended in the manual....v win32-1.4.16. I have everything looking and working pretty well as a prelude to making the site live.<p>

I have one little problem in the lightbox install that is giving me a hard time in trying to work it out. I have not found anything (yet) in the forums that helps me to a solution.<p>

I have the Japanese language pack installed and have the site set up with Japanese as the default. This may be the culprit though from everything I've read, doesn't seem it should be an issue. Anyhow, the problem is this.......<p>

The lightbox comes up fine and works with the multiple product images, but when Japanese is the selected language the CLOSE / PREV /NEXT text does not show. The link is there and clicks through the images okay, but no text. Also, the alt shows when moused over...I think this is probably a big clue staring me in the face. In English, everything is perfect, no problems at all.<p>

I haven't messed with it too much beyond copying the languages>English>extra_definitions >my_custom_folder>Lightbox php file to the same string on the Japanese side. I have looked at the script in all the files and the sql config script, but I am no programmer and didn't get any clues from it.<p>

Thanks in Advance....

In regard to my post above, if it is difficult to get the NEXT/PREVIOUS/CLOSE buttons to show in both EN and JP language pages, is there a way for me to direct the buttons instead to the JP version?<P>

I use the EN for admin purpose only and JP is the default site.

OKAY!.....never mind. All it took was a good night's sleep. Figured it out....as simple as moving the images themselves to a Japanese folder (duh).

Not to put this great add on down or anything like that. Alex Clarke is a great coder on everything he does. I have use this Module myself for a long time But if some of you are having so much trouble installing this Module try something else like jqlightbox or the jqzoom it is fairly simple to install. Hope this will help some of you who can not seem to get this to work.

Thanks Countrycharm for the reply. I had no other problem with this mod other than my trying to figure out what turned out to be a very simple fix (most are) for the JP language situation. The multiple images work fine, interface with IH2 is fine and now the Japanese has Japanese buttons for N/P/X.<p>

I think Alex's mod is perfect, was extremely easy to install and I like the admin interface. Everything is almost done, adding some categories and products to test all checkout functions with... then on to live launch. The new ZenCart will be replacing an existing store, www.misasfashioncafe.com with JP front/EN admin sometime in the next week.<p>

Actually, after a few false starts (dues to pay), I have found the whole ZenCart experience pretty rewarding. The mods are for the most part well thought out and instructions reasonably clear. It does take paying close attention to details.<p>

Some of the great mods, I've used, IH2, Zen_Lightbox, Japanese Language pack, Multi-lingual PullDowns, additional images relocated w/ CSS, Language Currency links in header, swf object. Have bought coffee for some, others coffee is on the way.<p>

Guess I've been Zenned....

Hello, I'm having a problem. I've copied all the files onto my server but when I try to install the install.sql in the zen cart admin I get:

1146 Table 'sign9486_zc1.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.


I've tried copy and pasting the text along with uploading the file and I get this error both times. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Same for me. It worked fine on MAMP but the live server gave the error , tried by admin and php myadmin. Earlier in the thread it says if you use a prefix to edit accordingly, but what part do you edit?

[the_doomsayer]

Found what to edit but still get a syntax error

Hello

I just recently updated a page on my site & I added some screen shot pictures.. I thought that light box would have worked on the pictures, however it does not appear to work..

the page is
http://www.bigmoneyparttime.com/ecov...ators-p-9.html

Im new to lightbox, so im not sure if this is suppose to work the same way as the product image versus a link to an image on the page?

I also get the same error as "the_doomsayer" and "dekerf". Has anyone worked out a fix for this?
