Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[davewest]

Not sure if this is of any use to you, Slimbox... http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=830 - I prefer it over the full Lightbox add-on as it is a stand alone mod, easy to install, easy to uninstall - I only had problem after problem with the full Lightbox mod and gave up on it after a short while

You can see the slimbox version in action here - http://www.bwe-invest.cz/index.php?m...&products_id=1

Actually, Fuel and Zen are both using Christophe Beyls Slimbox version... Fuel, version 1.3, Zen version 1.67 which is why I went with Zen.....

The latest Slimbox version of his is 1.71 which uses mootools 1.2.4... and wasn't that hard to upgrade ZenLightbox to after all.

Hi, I have just installed Zen Lightbox on a test server. My site is both in English and Bulgarian. All is working fine except this close buton missing only in Bulgarian version. I uploaded the same files in Bulgarian folder as in English. Where am I wrong?

I still have not fix the problem. The "Close" buton isn't visible.

it would seem that the tab add on has overridden the mootools js for lightbox, which is what some will do.

have you tried removing the js scripts for tabbing to see if it will still work?

or you might have to install jquery lightbox instead

Thanks for all your previous advice DarkAngel!

I attempted to install jquery lightbox instead of Zen Light box and the installation went well.

Although, I am still having the same issue with jquery as i did with zen. Perhaps the way i have the tab menu installed is not the best way to do it... (which is probably the case :|)

Overall, what i'm trying to acheive is this:

I obviously want the lightbox effects for larger image previews, but in addition I want to be able to have the tab menu functional on all product info pages.

So, what i have done is just inserted the code for the tab menu into:
includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

thereby causing the conflict with the three lines of code i've mentioned in a previous post...

The code for the tab menu i'm using can be found here: http://www.nyokiglitter.com/tutorials/tabs.html

If anyone is able to shed some additional light on the best way to acheive what im looking for, i'm all ears...

I may just have to go an alternative route and use a different tab menu...

[DarkAngel]

according to that site the coding is a bit old so maybe that is hampering things a bit.

this is what my veiw source says about the lightbos stuff in the same section you have your code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/as-Gold/css/style_imagehover.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/as-Gold/css/stylesheet.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/as-Gold/css/stylesheet_css_buttons.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/as-Gold/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/as-Gold/css/stylesheet_reward.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/as-Gold/css/stylesheet_zen_lightbox.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="includes/templates/as-Gold/css/print_stylesheet.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/as-Gold/jscript/jscript_imagehover.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/as-Gold/jscript/zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js">


maybe substituting the js for lightbox where the one for the other one is might help...I really don't know since I try to recode and sometimes butcher instead...but other times it actually works.

Do you have a folder in /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/buttons/Bulgarian
with a full set of buttons?

The Accordion effect is something Mootools can do, look to their web site to see a demo of it.,,, but you need to have the full set of core files and same version of code to get everything to work. That's why I upgraded mine and now working on a tree menu, and I'll more then likely use the accordion tabs for something as well.

The install went okay, other than I had to change the SQL statment and append zen_ in front of the table names and then the update installed. However when I click the larger image it just goes to a new page and only displays the image no hover over popup window. Can anyone shed any light as to the problem.

I thouht I followed the directions to a T. Everything shows correctly in the Admin area.

Thank you in advance for your help.

yup no lightbox when you click to see larger image.

make sure you uploaded ALL the files to their right places (including any folder you needed to create with your templates name on them) and make sure your files found the right home....just one left out will muck things up a bit.

Woot, finally found this thread.

I need help. According to the configuration for initial height and width, I'm suppose to have a resize animation option. Where is it?

I don't want it resizing the frame. I want the frame to be a set px with white space.

I have done this over and over, and after looking at several posts there are multiple people with this same problem. Something is missing and I do not know what. What can I do to have you help me DarkAngle?
