Lightbox Gallery (combined jgallery and zenlightbox)

I'm looking at installing this add-on, however a question for anyone who's done this.

The script install doc recommends installing Ultimate SEO URLs - however a quick search in these forums suggests that may not be a good idea.

If Ultimate SEO URLs is not installed, the docs says "you will either need to install it or modify the gallery/index.php file in the 4 places where "gallery.html" exists." It does not go on to say how to modify that index.php.

Could someone throw some light on this please?

Hi Wingz,

Did you ever figure this out? I've got to exactly the same step and am wondering what on earth it means!

Okay, here's a more in depth explanation.

Personally I always add Ultimate SEO URLs but if you don't you may need to figure out what the url to the ez-page you would like your gallery to be on. However, I've tried disabling it and it still worked fine... You may have to test it.

In order to figure out what the url for the page is you will need to finish all the steps (skip step 6) and go on step 9 of the instructions it says you will need to turn on the more information box in the layout boxes controller. Find out what the url is for this page. If it is mysite.com/gallery.html then you have nothing to worry about but if it is something other than gallery.html then you will need to go into the index.php file in the gallery folder and do a find and replace for "gallery.html" and replace with the correct url for the page (i.e. "page.html?chapter=0&id=12").

Hopefully that helps. I'm subscribed to this thread now so I'll try to be better about responding.

I've recently realized that there is a lot more to this and it requires some knowledge of how pages are stored in the zen cart file system. If anybody needs this explanation I will try to give it upon request.

I am trying to integrate the Lightbox Gallery and have run into the gallery.html problem. The link in the sidebox does reference the gallery.html so I'm not sure where the problems is. I am running ZenCart 1.38 with IH2 installed. You can see the site here: https://www.sockmonkeycity.com.

I tried to follow the installation directions and made the updates manually by cutting and pasting as indicated in the instructions.

I receive the following error when clicking on the GALLERY link:
Not Found

The requested URL /gallery.html was not found on this server.

Any help would be appreciated. What my wife would like to do is just have a photo album of the products that have sold and this looks like it would do the trick. If not, is there another add on that would work for this?

Thanks

I'm sorry it has taken so long for me to respond. I'm not quite sure what the problem is so if you would like to PM me with ftp and administrator access to your site then I will be happy to see if I can fix it and then list the steps I took so that others can benefit later. Without access to your site I doubt I will be able to figure out what the problem is.

I'm also attempting to get my gallery working; Zen cart 1.3.8. I have EZ Page setup where I want the gallery added. Changed gallery.html in the index.php file to point to the EZ page string, and still just doesn't seem to work.

Help would be greatly appreciated!!
:lamo:

As far as I'm aware I have helped everyone who is having problems to fix their problems getting it setup.

I have also created an additional guide in case you would like to add a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or more galleries. Just check out the attached file.

Can anyone please help me with this mod as I have tried every where for a solution?

I have installed the mod and the Gallery page loads, I can also upload images to the server. However the thumbnails are not showing on the gallery page!

Is this an issue with the length of the URL of the images?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Kind Regards

That could be the problem... Try to make sure that none of the uploaded images have spaces or other characters that might be a problem. If that doesn't fix it then I would need more information in order to help you. PM me with site info if you need more help.

I have Ultimate URL's installed and thought that would eliminate the problem. The gallery is installed in the directory catalogue/gallery and the images uploaded to catalogue/gallery/uploads.

The images are being renamed for example from 1.jpg to cb0f9a459ef7f5a81ba69f0937b47629.jpg which I suspect is the problem.

:cry:

A big thank you to deggertsen for sorting it out for me. :D

I had the wrong paths set in my config files! :lookaroun

I've had this problem come up for a few people so let me just put the solution again here:

Check the gallery/config.php file to make sure the gallery path is correct. By default it is set to "/gallery/" currently when it may need to be changed to something like "/store/gallery/".

If that needed to be changed make sure you also check the file includes/templates/YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER/templates/tpl_gallery_default.php to make sure it matches the gallery path:

For example change "require DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'gallery/index.php';"
to "require DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'store/gallery/index.php';"

Hopefully that helps some people. :D

Everything OK apart from the thumbnail images are not showing! All I get in Firefox is a thin black line and in IE I get a white box with a red cross. However clicking on them brings up the lightbox and full image.

So near yet so far! :dontgetit

Anyone got any ideas? :unsure:

OK sorted it, just reinstalled the lot and hey presto it works.

I've recently installed this add-on myself. ran into a few problems with that infamous gallery.html but thanks to some good assistance I was able to get things sorted out.

Under advisement, I installed Ultimate SEOs and configured "Enter pages to allow rewrite" under Configuration in the Admin panel for only "gallery". This coupled with editing the .htaccess file did the trick.

Now I'm just trying to figure out how to add more galleries and sort them on the gallery itself :)

Awesome add-on!

Hi everybody !

Fisrt I apologize for my awful english :blush: ... I do my best ;)

I have installed this wonderful add on ;)
It is oK for produict images...etc...
But my gallery seems to doesn't work normally...
All the thumbnails are ok, but, when cliking on one, the navigator displays the image in full size, in the current window...
well, I have difficulties to explain... maybe I should better give a link :

http://www.symphonie-designs.net/shop/gallery/

Did I missed something? I thought images in the gallery should be displayed in a lightbox, don't they?

Is there anyone to help me?

Thank you far all ;)

Symphonie,

I can most likely help you. Je peux meme parler en francais. Mais je ne parle pas tres bien. Vous pouvez me parler en francais si vous voulez.

Send me a PM and we can get this working. It looks like some simple configuration problems to me.

First, it doesn't look like you have an SEO urls add on installed.
Second, it doesn't look like you've set up the ez-page for the gallery correctly.

Like I said, mostly configuration stuff...

Thank you for all !
Everything is working fine now !
