Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[liliz]

Hi,

I have downloaded and about to install the Lightbox add on. The installation instructions ask you to name the downloaded files as 'your template folder'? I have had a template installed, and when I follow the paths outlined in the installation eg: includes\models\'your template folder' I have a 'classic' folder or 'theme277' so I am not sure which to use?

Any suggestions or advice would be fantastic.

anytime you install something that tells you to put it into "your template folder"

it usually means to create (if you do not have it in the destination already) a folder for the theme you are using...for instance if you use mostlygrey theme, then you would create a mostlygrey folder for the new stuff you are uploading

did i confuse you yet?

Chances are you are actually throwing Javascript errors, if you check your error console, as I'm experiencing the same behavior after uninstalling 1.4 and installing 1.5.

I'm seeing the following errors in the console:

$.element is not a function in zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js

This occurs on page load. When clicking the actual image, I receive the following:

Hash.each is not a function in zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js

I'm not sure if this is something residual from my previous install (which I had to eliminate due to the IE 7 error), or something is misconfigured on my new install.

I've got problem with this too: $.element is not a function in zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js

The problem started after I've activated a TinyMCE editor on a Textarea field. But I have no idea what's the reason for the conflict. The error message don't tell much and the JavaScript code is minimized so it's hard to read.
The error is on line 117:
}A+=" "+C+'="'+B[C]+'"';if(C!="checked"){delete B[C];}});A="<"+A+">";}return $.element(this.createElement(A)).set(B);},newTextNode:function(A){return this.createTextNode(A);

Hi DarkAngel. Thanks for the reply post. Got it! I managed to install the LightBox files and the install.sql file. The Zen LightBox is now showing in the Admin > Configure sections, however it still doesn't appear to be turning my images into lightbox formatt, they are still displaying as popups. Any ideas?

[DarkAngel]

@liliz:

were there any errors when you did the sql installation?

did you do the installation of sql through the admin section or through the mysqladmin?

did you have any other version of this previously installed?

in admin -- have you set the settings?

do you get any error messages

you are using version 1.3.8a of zencart, right?

Hi DarkAngle (thanks again for your reply, hopefully you are my saviour!)

To answer your questions:
were there any errors when you did the sql installation? No, there were no error messages, and Zen Lightbox is showing in Configuration > Lightbox

did you do the installation of sql through the admin section or through the mysqladmin? I installed the sql through Tools > Install SQL Patched (and copied the file and pasted it into the space provided as per the install instructions)

did you have any other version of this previously installed? Nope, no other version of Lightbox installed. Although I am using a template: http://www.templatehelp.com/preset/p...rXQ9FXy42H4d7S

in admin -- have you set the settings? I have set the Lightbox settings in the Config > Lightbox as per below

Zen Lightbox true

do you get any error messages - No error messages at all

you are using version 1.3.8a of zencart, right? Yes, I am using 1.3.8a version

I think it might be the naming of the installed files - I named them theme277 as that was the 'your template folder'. Hrmm.

This is the link to my site where the images are not displaying in Lightbox: http://www.pennylanebridal.com.au/sh...&products_id=1

Any suggestions, maybe I uninstall and try again?

Thanks again for any assistance you may be able to provide :)

I think it might be the naming of the installed files - I named them theme277 as that was the 'your template folder'. Hrmm.

what is the actual name of the theme?

when it tells you to put them into your template folder it means to put them into

includes folder/templates folder/YOUR_TEMPLATES_FOLDER/templates/then the file the zip has...

that last bolded part meand you need to go to your templates folder (for instance mine is mostly grey) I would go to mostlygrey and if there were no templates folder inside it I need to create it then plop that file into the newly created folder

if the zip tells you to put the item into YOUR_TEMPLATES_FOLDER and you do not have a folder with your templates name in there then you need to create one in order to continue with the installation.

soooooo, make sure that you have them all in the proper folders, exactly like the zip has in it....NOT renaming the files at all or you will not have a functional modification.

I manage several sites and stores so pm or email me if you think I might need to go into your folders in your c-panel from you server.

not necessary but helpful to know that I can if you need it.

again double check to make sure the items are in the correct folders then post here.

Hrmmm, still no luck! My theme is theme277 (i am pretty sure) although Classic also rates a mention. If you could take a closer look, let me know what log in details you would require. I would very much appreciate it before I loose my mind! :)

I see it mentioned quite a few times in here with different browser incompatibilities... Chrome 3.0 doesn't seem to like light box despite it working fine before this....

Anyone have any ideas? I assume this is affecting us all, not just me.
