Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[DarkAngel]

On my test site...http://a2z-test.com

Followed all instructions expicitly.....

An out-of-the-box zen 1.3.8a installation classic template

IH2 allowing to overwrite all files

Lightbox

All working fine....exactly as it should

Now I just have to figure out what is wrong on my customers website...http://flowers-by-design.info...where IH2 works but Lightbox won't......

Any ideas anybody.....

IH2 worked like a dream....this morning I configured all the sizes for him....then I put in lightbox.....followed your instructions to the letter...never got any errors when I did the SQL...I'm stumpt...

P.S. have another flowers site at http://textadvertiser.com/zen ... This was used to give him an idea of what could be done. IH2 & lightbox were both installed there .. after a few days lightbox gave up and stopped working... They are all on the same physical server .. so it's not that

I've read most of this forum today ... found the fix for image zoom on mouseover and applied it to some/all above sites ... but can't seem to find anything that would solve my current problem.

was going to ask which template but you said classic but with that automated header i thought it might have been a paid for template...on his store.

please check to make sure it is still classic if not then post what template is being used in admin listing.

classic on http://a2z-test.com

special purchased template on http://flowers-by-design.info. It's called ZC04A00425

don't worry about http://textadvertiser.com/zen that was just a test site and will disappear soon....

I did a clean basic out-the-box on http://a2z-test.com just to check my server ... it worked, so server not the problem.

I've got the folder naming for lightbox template files done correctly for flowers-by-design site, rechecked my upload, double checked MyPHPadmin to see the SQL went in OK.

Don't know what else to do. Well there is one thing...get some sleep...been at it now for 16 hours straight and not eaten anything either...it's 10pm here so nighty night I'll check back in 7 or 8 hours.

Make sure your prefix is added correctly, add your prefis to the tables where the red zen is shown.

Check to see if it shows in the admin/configuration and if it does then run the uninstaller first before trying to install again.

Aslo if it does not work from admin section (mine did not) then go directly to the database and copy/paste the sql installer there:

INSERT INTO `zen_configuration_group` VALUES (NULL, 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox settings', '0', '1');
UPDATE `zen_configuration_group` SET `sort_order` = LAST_INSERT_ID() WHERE `configuration_group_id` = LAST_INSERT_ID();

SELECT @cgi := `configuration_group_id` FROM `zen_configuration_group` WHERE `configuration_group_title` = 'Zen Lightbox';

INSERT INTO `zen_configuration` (`configuration_id`, `configuration_title`, `configuration_key`, `configuration_value`, `configuration_description`, `configuration_group_id`, `sort_order`, `last_modified`, `date_added`, `use_function`, `set_function`) VALUES

HI 'DarkAngel
I have done this a dozen times and have never experienced this much trouble. I checked my db with phpmyadmin and I did truely use the zen_ prefix. I edited the install.sql file as above and I cut n pasted in SQL patch and it tells me at the tables zen_ do not exist.

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

From phpMyadmin I selected the db, went to querry and pasted the contents into the query box and I get:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'UPDATE `zen_configuration_group` SET `sort_order` = LAST_INSERT_ID() WHERE `conf' at line 12

Not a clue as to why this is not working......

Here's my code, what did I miss?

INSERT INTO `zen_configuration_group` VALUES (NULL, 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox settings', '0', '1');
UPDATE `zen_configuration_group` SET `sort_order` = LAST_INSERT_ID() WHERE `configuration_group_id` = LAST_INSERT_ID();
SELECT @cgi := `configuration_group_id` FROM `zen_configuration_group` WHERE `configuration_group_title` = 'Zen Lightbox';
INSERT INTO `zen_configuration` (`configuration_id`,

What did I miss?

I just noticed an odd behavior with lightbox. In configuration->images, I changed "IH large image maximum width" from 600 to 640. Now, when I click on an image that's larger than 600, lightbox either either displays the image at 600 pixels wide, or just hangs without displaying the image at all.

I've cleared both the cache in IH2 and in my browser, and repeated this test.

Is it possible that during installation, lightbox examines the maximum image width setting, and stores it, instead of re-reading it whenever it needs to? Any other ideas what might be going on here?

Thanks.
