Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

DarkAngel:

you might upograde to lightbox V6 and as for Firefox...that new way they put the browser together has been making many things look broken when it is not.

In version 3.6.17 it looks like it should with the images at the bottom.

FF4 seems to also make image handler not work right too

Where I can find lightbox V6 ?? :blush:
Do you have link for download?

Where did you get the old version you are using now? At the top of this page, there is a link to the Zen Cart free addon area. Go there and search for Zen Lightbox.

The most recent version is 1.6.2

I have download 1.6.

I delete 1.5.v (all files on server) end in admin SQL Query Executor: run uninstall.SQL file

I upload all files of 1.6.
in admin SQL Query Executor: run install.SQL file

Did you follow the part to open [includes/configure.php] and look for the line

define('DB_PREFIX', '[B]yourPrefixHere_[/B]');

if so what did the part in red say?

i read a lot of posts (until the 100....) but didn't find the answers i am looking for so i am posting my own. i have a fresh install of zen. got a crista_violet template that works fine. successfully installed image handler 3 and lightbox but only image handler is working fine. photos in the product page still use the old style image pop-up.

this is the link to the page: http://onlydeals.freehostingcloud.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=1

other things i did to merge the use of lighbox and image handler 3 (i got it from the misc instruction of the image handler)....
Zen Lightbox - Replace the additional_images.php from Image Handler3 with the one that comes with Zen Lightbox. (Zen Lightbox has included all the merged code required for Zen Lightbox and Image Handler3 to work well together)

and this i did (taken from this link: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=45314&page=186)
do the setting show in the configuration column?

did you set it to true so it will know to work?

if yes then open the zip and go to your server files and make double sure you put everything into the right spot...if you are using ANY template other than classic you need to create a folder with that templates name in the fodler where it is indicated (your_template folders or custom folders) that will tell you that you need to place those files in there.

like in the includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/your_template

you need to create a fodler in that extra_definitions folder with your templates name and place the file into it....so if your template is mostlygrey you create a fodler called mostlygrey and plop the contents of the "your_template" folder into it.

and still lightbox effect doesn't show. what seems to be missing?
any help is appreciated. thanks for a wonderful zen forum support.

Below is a list of the stylesheets you are using (pulled from your sourcecode).

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/crista_violet/css/style_imagehover.css" /> 
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/crista_violet/css/stylesheet.css" /> 
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/crista_violet/css/stylesheet_css_buttons.css" /> 
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="includes/templates/crista_violet/css/print_stylesheet.css" /> 

Note that your Zen Lightbox stylesheet is not listed. Suggest checking your install to make sure all your files have been uploaded, and are where they need to be.

ScriptJunkie:

also did you go to admin/configuration/zen lightbos and turn it on?

simple little thing that I myself forgot to do one time---well maybe two times

The part in red is:
define('DB_PREFIX', 'zen_');

do i have to change the configure.php to the one noted...like zen instead of znc? i am confused.

i will check again the stylesheets and the installation i made if i forgot something. thanks for all your help.

DarkAngel:

yes i did turned it on.

ok..i need to clarify again these instruction...i probably misinterpreted this: if yes then open the zip and go to your server files and make double sure you put everything into the right spot...if you are using ANY template other than classic you need to create a folder with that templates name in the fodler where it is indicated (your_template folders or custom folders) that will tell you that you need to place those files in there.

i did open...includes/languages/english/extra_definitions and i don't have the template i am using. so i did copy from my original download file (RAR) and pasted it there. and the lightbox is still not working. i must have misunderstood what was written. could anyone please explain this plainly and clearly.

thaanks a lot!

Hi elainben,

When you install any mod, anytime you see a folder in the download package called "YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE" - it is telling you that you will need to create a folder in that same location on your server and name it to match your template.

So, using the example you provided - you will need to create a folder in:

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions

and call it crista_violet so that it looks like this:

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/crista_violet

Once you have done that, upload the file from:
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_CUSTOM_TEMPLATE
to:
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/crista_violet

What you are doing when you do this is making use of the file override system. It is extremely important that you use and understand the override system. If you don't, then all your customizations will be lost when you upgrade your zen cart to the next version once it becomes available.

Suggest reading the following before you do anything else with your cart:

Understanding the override system
and
The override system really simplified

After you've read those, download this to keep for future reference.

Good luck and happy zenning :smile:

you need to change the sql installation file to have that as part of the coding for it to work or go to myphpadmin for installing directly into the database if you can't get it to work in admin of store

there are 4 places to change---see in red

INSERT INTO zen_configuration_group VALUES (NULL, 'Zen Lightbox', 'Configure Zen Lightbox settings', '0', '1');
UPDATE zen_configuration_group SET sort_order = LAST_INSERT_ID() WHERE configuration_group_id = LAST_INSERT_ID();

SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM zen_configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';

INSERT INTO zen_configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES

If anyone is interested I have managed to find that it was the Zen Lightbox module I had installed. The javascript called in the header for the light box, stops the plusone button rendering....

Any ideas why or how? I now have lightbox turned off, but I did like it and would like both.

Did you copy and paste the install script into zc admin or use the upload button?

Other users have had better luck with copy/paste.

Other users have had better luck with copy/paste.I NEVER use upload.. Only copy/paste.. Works every time..

Should be NO reason why anyone would need to manually modify this script and run it in phpAdmin.. That said making the changes you suggest will only work if you run if you are running the script in phpAdmin.. If you add the prefix as you suggest and run the script in the store admin, the script will fail or cause errors.
