Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

[corseter]

Hi, I am running lightbox version 1.5 on zencart 1.3.8. Went onto my site www.corset.ie only to find the lightbox has stopped working. It was running fine last night and I have not touched any of the files. Any ideas?

Exactly what does this add-on do?

Any place I can see a demo?

Yes :) See a product in action (click the "larger image" link) or indeed, click any of the size guides and you'll see the effect.

You can, in fact, apply it to any image. Here, I have embedded a Picasaweb image gallery, and an using this plugin to show the full size image. Note that you can also click through the large images with the left and right arrow.

Hi corseter, I just looked at your site, and it seems to be working ok in safari mac, but not in chrome.
This chrome issue is the same behavior a lot of us were having, thats why I modified the addon to ver1.6.x

Yes, I agree. You definitely want to be using the jquery version, not the old mootools version. It doesn't work in IE9 either.

Purely out of technical interest, I'm going to spent a lot of time going through your site, to check which images work.

For example, I've been examining this page in some detail, and there's definitely no issues with enlargement from a personal perspective

But seriously, if you get stuck, post back here. I've been spending some time getting my lightbox working perfectly, so I think I'm fairly familiar with it now!

I got the zen light box working on my site, but it does not work for the main image, only all of the extra images. Is that how its supposed to work? http://bloomingvinedesign.com/zencart/index.php

It is really an awesome plug-in. Thank you for creating it.

Hi bloomingvine, it looks to me like you missed one file during the install.
Check your server and see if you have: 'includes/templates/[your_template]/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php'

this is the file that makes the main image react to the lightbox code.

I just upgraded from 1.5 to 1.6 to fix my Chrome issue (was just getting a plain white box). The upgrade fixed the issue in Chrome but now in any browser my EZPages are not working. It just pops up in a new window?? Any ideas? I checked the admin setting and its set to 'true'

did you have lightbox to begin with? the source says you have jquery too and that one tends to override any other one so you need either or I think

and

if you do have just lightbox installed, did you run the uninstall sql before upgrading then run the new sql?

I see the lightbox working on those pages on Mac - Chrome
maybe those pages are cached in your browser?
