Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[limelites]

What values are allowed in the admin "Resize Transition" field, other than FALSE?

Are there different options for the animation effect when the box opens?

3) Rename mootools-core-1.3-full-compat.js to zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js.

4) Make a copy of zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js and rename it zen_lightbox_mootools_default.js.

Monsunemoon is hitting the nail right on the head - the correct renaming is important. The file includes/classes/zen_lightbox/slimbox.php specifically calls for these java script files:

 
echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="' . $template->get_template_dir('.js', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base, 'jscript') . '/'; if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_TRANSITION_EFFECT != 'false') { echo 'zen_lightbox_mootools_custom'; } else { echo 'zen_lightbox_mootools_default'; } echo '.js"></script>';

This works a treat on both my local and live installs in the 3 major browsers of their individual latest versions.

To be more clear, the fix for me works on every browser for my test site at www.mygamedemos.com/store. However, with the same setup, it doesnt work on Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702 for my main site www.cocobeau.co.uk

Accessed your live site with IE 8.0.6001.18702. Can safely report that you have no problem with your zen lightbox setup.

Try clearing your cache and browser history and try again.

Mootools is where the effects are coming from... If you followed my 'English' and upgraded to the full mootools, then Fx.Transition is available to you... If you stuck with the old custom version of mootools that came with ZenLightbox, then none.

Just tried this one and it works grate
Fx.Transitions.Elastic.easeInOut

Possibles easeIn, easeOut, easeInOut
Types... linear, quad, cubic, quart, quint, pow, expo, circ, sine, back, bounce, elastic

Easier to Google for Fx.Transitions then to get into code here... with the full mootools build, it's all open... I've tried bounce and elastic they work, some of the others may slow Slimbox down.... By the way... Slimbox is still an active project in Google groups and coders... supported in both jQuery and Mootools libraries.

Thanks for the replay, I'm still on zen_lightbox-v1.5-20081218

Can't seem to find a download for MooTools. I'll keep looking.

OK, I've jsut installed Fual Slimbox as per the file:///C:/00000000/superfancy%20files/fual_slimbox.v0.1.5/documentation/readme.html

Since I already had Zen Lightbox 1.5 installed, I've also overwritten all the patch files using the fual_slimbox.v0.1.5\zen_lightbox.patch.

I've installed the SQL patch and enabled fual slimbox. However, it's not working at all.

Any recommendfations?

(attempted install is on www.superfancy.co.uk and zen cart version is 1.3.8a)

Seth&Dave,
Thanks for your help. I was struggling to get Chrome to work with lightbox, but after reading this thread you guys made my day.

The fix stated earlier worked like a champion for myself.

I have a slight concern with the size of the:
zen_lightbox_mootools_custom.js

The file weights in at a pretty hefty 137kb but optimizing it can get you to the 100kb mark.

I have no clue regarding Javascript and to be honest it isn't something on my near sighted to do list to start learning. Theoretically could this file be trimmed substantially or is everything in it a core function?

You may want to replace the file with the compacted version weighing in at 84kb.

Every single bit in the file is required to make it work
