Which works best with iH2,
Fual Slimbox or Zen Lightbox

They both work.. When ckosloff and I tested the current version of IH2, he tested Zen Lightbox, I tested Fual Slimbox with IH2.. I personally chose Fual Slimbox because of this:

At only 30kb Slimbox is a much smaller download than than Lightbox which weights in at over 100Kb. Since JS tends not to be cached so well by browsers this offers genuine speed increases to users. In addition it is powered by Mootools effects, making it much more customisable than Lightbox.

Never have had any issue with Fual Slimbox.. So that's my recommendation.. In the IH2 readme, you notice we took no position on which lightbox module to use either since we found both tools worked with IH2. and based on the respective authors of these lightbox modules, it appears that both were written specifically to work WITH IH2..

Hi Diva..

I played with both, set up two fresh test sites both identical and the only mod installed being IH2.

both dead easy to install, both easily managed via the admin and by css.

However i noticed that on the site with Fual Slimbox, when i scrolled the background flickered and i could scroll down forever. So i went with zen lightbox. Up on saying that, Fual Slimbox is by far much faster to load images.

both are excellent mods! guess it is just a case of 'suck it and see' for which one to go for...

I can't repeat this behavior on any site I have used Fual on.. Hmmmmm..

Indeed.. which was what I loved about it.. Glad you got it all worked out..

This is not an Image Handler support issue, and the answer is very much off topic for this support thread.. Please create a separate post on the forum to get assistance with this as it is more of a stylesheet/layout issue.

Nevermind, I decided to just remove the border and shadow.

Problem with automatic renaming of additional images in IH 2 v 2.0.7 (and Lightbox 1.5) on ZC1.3.8a

When IH2 renames my additional images, it renames the first one with suffix _01, the next one with _02, and then the third as _01 again. Both _01s show in the admin, but not on the store front.

I tried renaming various related or unrelated names, and the renaming still does the same problem.

Older products, pre my IH2 installation with three additional images _01, _02, 03 uploaded by ftp into images, MED and LRG still work, and even show up in the IH2 admin tool.

I haven't been doing a lot of additional images because it took so long, but now with IH installed, I'd like to do more of them.

Any ideas?

are you sure that when you add the new image after 02 that you are hitting the new image button and not the edit button of the 01 image?

have you tried deleting the main image then redoing the following images?
