Hm, I have a question that may be a little stupid sounding, however, I'm wondering if this mod would be compatible with the Magic Zoom?

In the new 1.6 version of lightbox, Close on Overlay Click is set to False, but clicking on the overlay does indeed close the lightbox. So is there some funky about the 1.6 code for that setting? I fully removed all 1.5 files and ran uninstall.sql before installing 1.6, so my install of 1.6 should have been completely fresh and clean.

I also noticed that the mouse cursor, over the overlay, changes to a hand (like a hand over a link), whereas in 1.5 the mouse cursor did not change to a link hand over the overlay.

Anyway, developers have any comment about the click on overlay behavior (apparently) not following the setting?

[finlander]

In the new version 1.6 of Lightbox, neither of the following settings in Admin >> Zen Lightbox are functioning/controlling click behavior.

The reason for this appears to be because the new version of the slimbox.php file (\includes\classes\zen_lightbox) does not include the event handlers that are needed for these controls to function.

Close on Image Click
Close on Overlay Click

old code in slimbox.php:

<?php if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_CLOSE_OVERLAY == 'true') { echo '.addEvent("click",C)'; } ?>

Great product 'upgrade!'

Always helpful to search through the support thread before posting an issue/question.. A fair amount of discussion has already occurred here regarding the Chrome issue along with a confirmed working solution..

Soooooo.. if you look up a few posts, you'd have see this post by frank18: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...nt=2271:smile:

Good to know this as we weren't aware that the Zen Lightbox module even had been recently updated AND had specific code which supported IH2.. The Fual Slimbox module requires some minor file merging to work with IH2, and it was always understood that the same applied to Zen Lightbox..

Unless I am misunderstanding what I see looking at the Zen Lightbox code for the additional_images.php file, and what you posted here, CLEARLY Zen Lightbox does not require any of the IH2 files be merged.. (It looks as if all you have to do is simply overwrite the additional_images.php from IH2 with the one from Zen Lightbox and every thing works together)

Perhaps when time permits we will update the IH2 documentation accordingly to minimize any confusion going forward..

From what I can tell, the main changes in Zen LightBox to the additional_images.php file are mainly to work with Image Handler.
The code shows lines like this:

if (function_exists('handle_image')) {
      $flag_has_large = true;
    } 

I just did a fresh install of 1.3.9h then installed IH2 (worked fine) then I installed Zen LightBox 1.6 (including additional_images.php) and everything seems to still be working just fine!

In my current setup i have the lightbox inside of an iFrame, so when i open an image everything appears fine but it centers the image to the center of the iFrame instead of the center of the entire page. This is an understandable issue but is there a way that i can manually over ride that and position the pops at a different location?? I wan to just move it from center to maybe top center, how can i do this?
