HoverBox 3 - Official Thread

[siliconbug]

I've met some weird situation.

When I click "larger image," Some large pictures come with Product Titles & Product Prices normally, but some large pictures don't.

I've try to uninstall & reinstall, but it doesn't help.

OK, I've found this bug.

If I have product title with "" like this:

"Siliconbug" is the product name

Hoverbox 3 will display blank product title.

Does anyone have a copy of HoverBox 3? Seems as the authors .net domain has expired and I need to get a new site up and running ASAP.

http://zen-cart-templates.ichoze.net/ no longer exists.

Thanks In Advance

I'm trying to get a copy of HoverBox 3 as well. The site domain form ichoze.net expired on June 4th. Does anybody have the original zip that they can share with me?

Many thanks...

This is a great contribution, and its working perfectly in all browsers I checked except the new, most recent version of IE 8.

When I click in a picture in IE 8, instead of displaying the Hoverbox effect, it simply opens a new tab and shows the picture.
Interestingly, if I put IE 8 in "compatibility" mode, it works.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem... but me shows the picture in same tab as shop. In "compatibility mode" works great.
Help!

Has anyone figured out a solution to this problem?
It works perfectly in FF, but not IE (see screenshot). I have no code left over from Fual Slimbox or Zen Lightbox and Image handler2 is fully functional.

This is a way cool mod - and any help to get this issue resolved would be appreciated.

Thanks

Any solution for this problem, It does it in IE 7 and up, because when i checked in IE6, everything was OK.

I was wondering if it dose the same in HB2 ? If so I will degrade to HB2

What's your screen resolution, and do you happen to have a live link?

First this is one of the greatest mod.

about the
"When someone clicks on larger image, the window that pops up is not centered and the background does not cover the whole page" problem, I come a cross a website,

www.nickstakenburg.com/projects/lightview/

to solve the problem we need something like
"Setup your doctype"
and
"requires Prototype 1.6.0.3 and Scriptaculous 1.8.2. In"
does it make sense to anyone at all to solve the problem.

Yes I am having the same problem. Someone should make a fix for this. 26% of my customers use IE 8 and that number is only going to increase with time as more and more people upgrade their browsers from IE 7 to IE 8.

Hi guys

I came across the hoverbox 3 addon and thought it was the perfect tool for my website. However, the only page I could find with a download for it gave me a broken .zip folder. Does anyone know where I can get it?

Thanks.

P.s. This is my first post in the Zen Cart community. I'm a noob to Zen Cart but this tool is incredible!

Hi All,

As much as I dislike Internet Explorer, still the more wide-spread of browsers out there --- noting with HoverBox that using Internet Explorer 8 that the images pop into separate windows, rather than the kinder (and gentler!) windows being generated on Firefox.

Using zen v.1.3.8 and believe the HoverBox 3 edition as well here.

Does anyone have any work-arounds for moding HoverBox to also effectively work on IE8 at all?

Thanks!!!
