Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[DarkAngel]

make double sure you put the files in the correct places on your server, please.

do you have a different theme other than the classic one---yes---then the template files need to go into that folder not the default one too

the is one file you may need to merge with the original one too and then there is the additional pages file that needs to go into a foler with the name of your template too.

the file for it to work in the different pages needs to be added to each page folder you want it to show in...like the download pages, shopping cart and so on.

Thank you, I followed your tutorial and uploaded as you decribed but can not get LIghtbox to work

this is the link I have on the gallery (ez)page

<a href="http://stainlesssteelshoulderscrew.com/images/slottedSS.jpg" rel="here is my caption">My Image</a>

additionally I uploaded the javascript to the "conditions page"

and it gave me a blank page(I removed it)

please advise

I just wanted to confirm that it is a jquery conflict. I removed the jquery libraries from my template and it zen lightbox started working instantly. I'm having trouble applying the suggestion to use slimbox 2.0...what files do I need to replace?

thanks

if you have the slimbox 2.0 zip then the readme should say which to replace...when upgrading...or to delete former ones then replace all....see what the readme suggests

Hello and congratulations to Alex for the excellent Zen Lightbox mod.
I installed the version v1.5 on v1.3.9f zen cart, and everything works except for the page info product:
clicking on the image (image_MED.jpg) opens in the lightbox the same image and not the great (image_LGR.jpg).
I do not know if I did not understand how it works or if I need to use
image_LGR.jpg only or if there is some problem.
Can somebody help me?

P.S. I searched the forum but I could not find the right thread.

I use small and large.... never had a need for medium.. it does work with small and large... we can't tell if you have a problem without something to look at...

At the top of the forum, links to tutorials... lots of good info... one on using additional images takes a bit to read it...https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=58 and follow it, once additional images is working right, then lightbox takes whats working and displays it.

I put the small image in: images/myimage.jpg and the large in: images/large/myimage_LRG.jpg
certainly something wrong

The tutorial for images takes a reading or two to get it, but if you don't get things to work before lightbox, it seems to be a problem with lightbox when its not.

Think of it this way may help.... you need a container to hold the images you plan on using for a product type.... say PRODUCTS or AUCTIONS...

your small images would then be..
images/PRODUCTS/12324.jpg

your medium
images/medium/PRODUCTS/12324_MED.jpg

your large
images/large/PRODUCTS/12324_LRG.jpg

same with auction images
your small images would then be..
images/AUCTIONS/12324.jpg

your medium
images/medium/AUCTIONS/12324_MED.jpg

your large
images/large/AUCTIONS/12324_LRG.jpg

That's basically what I did... except for the medium... think the tutorial also talks about dropping everything into one folder as long as the _LRG _MED is on the files works too, but I like keeping mine as above...

To test to see if all is working right as should... turn off scripting and the normal popup should work... check the image file name.

Great add-on and got it working on 2 different stores. Cannot get it to work on ezpages, however? I know it says to add the jscript_zen_lightbox.php file to the file in modules>pages but there is no file for the ezpage folders I created? Any ideas? Thanks!

Your pattern was very clear.
I followed it and now everything works fine.

I thought I was having an issue with Zen Lightbox, but it appears as though this issue may be related to Google Chrome and I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if there is a known solution.

The Issue:
When clicking on an image to show the lightbox image, a white box comes up but no image or links become visible. This only happens in Google Chrome.

The Testing:
Two different systems tested: 1 x Windows 7 Ultimate x64, 1 x Windows XP Pro x32
Two websites tested:
http://flowerswithstyle.com.au
http://www.scrapdillyishious.com/shop/
The following browsers have been tested:

• Google Chrome v7.0.503.0)
• Firefox v4.0b4
• Internet Explorer v8.0.7600.16385
• Opera v10.61
• Safari v5.0.1 (7533.17.8)
• K-Meleon v1.5.4
• SeaMonkey v2.0.6
• Avant v2010 build 111
• Maxthon v3.0.17.1000

Every browser tested display the lightbox without issue apart from Google Chrome.

I at first thought that maybe it was to do with a jscript/code conflict on the site I was working on, but then I tested another site with lightbox and experienced the same issue.

This being said I had till now only tested sites proclaiming to use Zen Lightbox.

I navigated to the following page to test lightbox outside of the Zen Lightbox mod and was suprised to find that the lightbox displayed in Google Chrome without issue:
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/

So, it now appears as though the issue is related to Google Chrome and Zen Lightbox.

Further Testing:
I decided I would try a different version of Google Chrome as the version I was using was the latest Beta version. I uninstalled this (on my XP machine) and installed the latest release (Google Chrome v5.0.375.127). Low and behold, lightbox now works!

Where To From Here:
The above testing and the fact that Zen Lightbox is not working with Google Chrome v7.0.503.0 but Lightbox does work outside of the Zen Lightbox mod suggests that Zen Lightbox may need to be looked at as far as compatibility with the upcoming releases of Google Chrome, however, as the version that is not working is a BETA version there may be no support for this as yet.

It would however be interesting to see if this issue is replicated by others and if there is a solution available that someone may have found.

Happy Zenning!

Hi, i discovered the same thing today, when i updated Chrome. In the others browsers work fine, like you said.
I have tried some tweaks and hacks but with no result.
The lightbox that you mentioned to work outside off Zen Cart does not relly on MooTools as Zen LightBox.
I will do some more digging to see whats about the Moo tools .JS that Chrome doesnt like or maybe its a bug from Chrome ?

Best regards, Zoli.
