Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[DarkAngel]

jaimielife:

I just took a look at it in IE8 and have no problem at all with the page on my laptop with 1280 screen. the lightbox opens properly andappears right and closes with either clicking the close button or clcking on the image

you have a unique store fron there, do all the category tabs work yet?

[jamielife]

The issue is with IE7.
If you switch to compatibility view, youll see what I mean. The product info page goes crazy when the lightbox is activated. This only happens in IE7 and probably lower and I'm going crazy trying to figure out why.

And thank you; All the categories link to the right place, it's just that not every category has products yet.

oops, my bad you did say that didn't you.

sorry I don't have IE7 anymore.

[jamielife]

Clicking compatibility view (this icon next to the address bar) in IE8, forces IE8 to render as IE7

[jamielife]

Fixed it.

For some reason zen light box likes to resize my tables in IE7... the soluction;
adding

.tableClass{
table-layout: fixed;
}

to the IE7 specific css.

Is Zen Lightbox v1.6 still planned to be released? I am unable to get the Cherry Zen template to work properly with Zen Lightbox without causing a duplicate gallery image side effect. v1.6 referenced it would have support for Cherry Zen template.

Thanks.

v1.6 includes many updates and fixes.

Slimbox is now used and the output code has been reduced by over 50%. I pretty much re-wrote Zen Lightbox v1.4 from the ground up as v1.4 was very old and messy in places!
v1.6 will include many new features and a few fixes, but I recommend upgrading now.

Upgrading from v1.4 to v1.5 pretty much requires you to uninstall the old version and then install the new version (i.e. delete a load of files and upload the new ones). However, the v1.6 upgrade should simply involve uploading new files (i.e. there's no need to manually delete the old v1.5 files).

As VisExp pointed out, more admin options are available and the lightbox effect can now be used on any page of your website!

Yes, I am bumping a unanswered question I posted weeks ago. Is this difficult to answer? Is Zen Lightbox v1.6 still planned to be released or shall I add this to my list of dead and no longer developed mods / author is gone now list?

Thanks!

Ok, I found the SQL a few posts back and did the cut and paste. I het the send button and I got this...

Error ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration_group does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!
Error ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration_group does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!
Error ERROR: Cannot execute because table zen_configuration does not exist. CHECK PREFIXES!

I've had a look at the table prefix and attached a screen shot.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

I've cut and paste the uninstall SQL to remove what I've done. Is there anything else I need to do to 'clean up'?

you did good doing the uninstall---did you also do the prefix in it too?

did you do the copy/paste of the entire sql into admin section or myphpadmin sql tab?

and to the question about the update...I too would like to see it updated. It is a great addon for the store and although some people can get it to be used for the additional images and other pages aside the obvious one -- mine never has...but it works on the main pages and that makes me happy.

I do not know what happened but the creator has not responded to this thread in a very long time so maybe he quit working on it.

I did the cut and paste into the admin section.

As you could see by my attachment, I have the right prefix and the required table exists, so I have no idea what is happening.

yes I know, it is supposed to work with or without the prefix in admin section however...

it did not when I did it either. Like me and a few others we ahd to copy/paste the info into the SQL tab of myphpadmin.

try it there and see if it works that way.
