Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[DarkAngel]

I had that same text at one time but I have looked thru all the files in the ones to upload and can't find where it is at...but I know it is one of them

I have large images too so people can see the details and mine are larger than yours...see link in my signature...so the size is fine...no sense (to my thinking) to have larger images if they are not going to be larger than the thumbnail and show little detail.

I have never had the next button nor the ability to see the additional ones either...so hopefully someone will be able to tell you what needs to be done, sorry

also i forgot to ask what version are you using...1.5?

The file should be at \includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR_TEMPLATE\zen_lightbox.php
and contain the text.

Two locations for the images, the folder at \includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\buttons\english\zen_lightbox
should have the next, previous and closed buttons.
The other folder \includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\images\zen_lightbox
has just the spinner for loading progress.

File to edit for additional images is includes\modules\YOUR_TEMPLATE\additional_images.php test with script turned off... if the normal popup window works with additional images, then the lightbox should work too... if not, check your edits. Hope that helps out a bit...

that is where i thought it would be too but this is the text that mine has---and this is from a fresh unzipped archive of the lightbox files:

as for the other, frankly I don't remember editing anything and now I have IH2 also but still no next or previous buttons showing nor do they go from one image to the next but I can live with it that way so no problem.

after re-reading your statement I see you meant edits to the store files not zen lightbox files...sorry

Zen Lightbox v1.5 and Link Manager 3 don't work together, and I can't determine why. Here's what I know:

1) These two mods share NO files in common.

2) I've read elsewhere in the Community Forum where this problem occurs regardless of other mods that may be running, on clean installs of 1.3.8a with Lighbox 1.5 (including much earlier versions) and Link Manager 3.

2) If the Link Manager layout box is enabled, it appears and works perfectly, however it completely breaks Lightbox, i.e. clicking on the larger image on a product page brings up the larger image in same browser window (not a new browser window, as was the default prior to installing Lightbox).

3) If you simply disable the Link Manager layout box by turning it off via the Admin, it disappears as expected and Lightbox works beautifully again after a page refresh.

PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME??! I WILL DONATE IF YOU HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM SO I CAN RUN BOTH TOGETHER!!!

I have seen a handful of similar posts in various threads with the EXACT SAME symptom I just described, but no resolutions anywhere. The Link Manager developer simply replies with the same reply everytime someone mentions this problem, (I'm paraphrasing) "Link Manager doesn't share any files in common with Lightbox (Slimbox)." I posted this same problem on the Slimbox thread and received no response.

I really need both mods to work together and I can't figure out why. Possible conclusions I've reached but can't confirm:

1) There's a conflict with some variable, function or constant name somewhere??

2) There's some CSS conflict somewhere??

My site: flairbyjdn.com
Zen Version: 1.3.8a

(I can provide additional information, privately, if you are able to assist me, e.g. mods I'm running, ftp access, etc.)

[DarkAngel]

I don't know why it won't work either because lightbox is a more richer slimbox...I love it.

However, if you list the other mods and versions of them then you might be able to get better help...sometimes it might be a different mod that is in control and not the one we think is.

Thank you for your quick reply. I love lightbox with IH2, as well. But, I really need a reciprocal link manager, hence my installation of Link Manager 3 - very easy to use and works great with the glaring exception that turning on the sidebox breaks lightbox.

Here are the mods I've successfully added to my base 1.3.8a ZC install:

Cherry Zen 1.7
USPS_UDPATE_2010_0104_B
LocalSalesTaxMod2.4
image_handler_for_vs_Ver2-0rev7
creditcardsidebox
ceon_back_in_stock_notifications_2.2.4_for_zc
Logo Sidebox
comodo_instant_ssl_site_seal_1-0
zen_lightbox-v1.5-20081218
ceon_uri_mapping_3.2.4_for_zc
fec (installed but completely turned off)
contactus_recaptcha_v1.1
SimpleGoogleAnalytics
dymo_1.1
sitemapXML
security_patch_v138_20090619
Blank_Sidebox_2.0
Order Manager 1.0
YahooConversionTracking_v1.0.0
EmailAddressExporter
google_base_feeder
FCKEditor
About_Us
GV_ADMIN_EDIT_1.1
master_password
Admin Activity Report 1.3
Links Manager 3 (installed, but sidebox turned off due to issue I'm trying to solve)

The only additional custom coding that's been done is to add reCaptcha to a couple of other forms (thanks to Conor from Ceon - one of the great ZC mod developers, in my opinion).

BTW, the symptom I explain above is identical on IE and Firefox and is identical across multiple workstations - so, it's not client specific.

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated (and rewarded).

Regards,

John

that will help the more knowledged for helping I am sure.

please forgive me but what exactly is link manager for...just adding links to the sidebox for recips of another site that offers to use your link at theirs?

or does it track clicks like the banner manager does.

Zen Lightbox v1.5 and Link Manager 3 don't work together, and I can't determine why. Here's what I know:.....

This sure is an interesting discovery.

Noted exactly the same problem on my site www.chilloutfashions.com.au this morning (ZC 1.3.9b) and initially thought that the upgrade from 1.3.9a to b may have been responsible for the failure of Zen Lightbox. That ofc is not the case

Re-installed Zen Lightbox - same problem. Came across your post, disabled the Links sidebox and bingo...

I will make the author of Links Manager aware of this occurrence - lets see what develops.

that is where i thought it would be too but this is the text that mine has---and this is from a fresh unzipped archive of the lightbox files:

The 1 and 2 is added by the script other wise, it's the same as mine. Lack of buttons... lightbox is looking for the folder 'Zen_Lightbox' within the language button folder. First time I installed I just moved the buttons, not the folder which gave me missing buttons.

Re-installed Zen Lightbox - same problem. Came across your post, disabled the Links sidebox and bingo...

Not having any problems with Link Manager and Lightbox.... but I don't use the standard Link manager sidebox nether. I have the link in my own sidebox.

The script file in Link Manager sidebox call 'function resize()' which conflicts with Mootools, thus the error. Should be a walk around for this.... but I'm off to the SQF to make maps for a fire team....
