Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[niestudio]

Hi Daniel,

Although, the "hover navigation images" option sounds great, I still have the same problem with the images appearing at all. This is a compatibility issue and only occurs with Chrome. The navigation buttons show in all other major browsers. Please check again with the newest Chrome browser and see if you get the same reaction.

If you choose a model from the featured section at the bottom of the home page, there should be an additional image tab with those products. I can see the link appear at the bottom of the page when I hover in the correct area, but I get no image.

Sorry for the delay in getting back with you, I was looking for a PM and didn't check main forum until now (my bad).

Thanks!

Hi Jeremy,
Looking at the source for your site all I see that would be causing this behavior is the admin parameter "Include Main Image in Gallery". Can you double check that this is set to true?

your first image looks like this:
"images/products/tes7133.jpg" rel="lightbox"

and the additional image looks like this:
"images/products/tes7133_01.jpg" rel="lightbox-g"

the important part is the rel="lightbox"

when the "include main image in gallery" mode is enabled
the first image should have re="lightbox-g" in the code.

therefore linking all of the images together

You do mean the store in your signature...right?

I went there and both my mac with older Firefox and the pc with lates browsers I get the lightbox to work...

do you have more than one image for your products? IF so then where are they located---same folder as the main one

are they named right, with the nameofimage_01.jpg (or the extension of the main one), nameofimage_02.jpg

does the extension for them match the main image .jpg for main should have additional ones .jpg also or they will not show up at all

no spaces in name or special characters either


also if there are no additional images and just the main one then the prev/next buttons are not going to show--or shouldn't anyway

First to answer your questions: Yes, the store in the signature is the issue. Yes, I have more than one image for some of my products (example: any plane model in the featured section at the bottom of the home page) and they are located and labeled.

Everything worked with Zen Lightbox 1.5 until Chrome's most recent upgrade. Now, I have installed Zen Lightbox 1.6.1. Everything works perfectly in all the browsers except Chrome. The only issue is in the instances of additional images. When I hover over corners of the ligthbox image, the navigational images (prev,next and close buttons) do not appear.

Thanks for your help!

I'm having an awful time trying to install zen lightbox 1.6.1 on Zen Cart version 1.3.8a.

I keep receiving the following error message:

1146 Table 'campbena_zen.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I know this table exists. Is this issue due to the fact that the MySQL library version 4.1.22 differs from the MySQL server version 5.0.90??

problem solved! I finally found all the bits of advice re. adding prefixes and installing via myphpadmin.

Hi All, I have a beta of 1.6.2 ready.
PM me if you want to try it out and let me know if you find any issues.

Few quick questions...

I currently run lightbox on my sites (DriftBuildstore.com) and was wondering what are the benefits of upgrading to the most recent version and also how difficult is it to upgrade?

The 1.6.x upgrade was originally for ZC 1.3.9 which broke some of the ZLB 1.5 functionality in Google Chrome.

The upgrade itself isn't difficult, but its recommended that you uninstall all of the ZLB 1.5 files before upgrading to ZLB 1.6.

I should be uploading 1.6.2 in a few days, so you'd probably want to wait until then.

I have a quick question.. I have zencart lightbox installed, everything works fine.. however, I just want it to be displayed on a single page.. not the defaults that are installed.... Is there a way to do this?

Interesting question. What kind of page would it be displayed on?
