Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

Sorry if this has been asked could not find the answer
I have uploaded additional images on my products i.e

pick_01,pick_02 etc..And light box is showing them great -my question is there a way that each image has its own text
At the moment it shows the Product name on each picture, I would like to have different text, is that possible?

Hope someone can help!

1. I have the first image showing twice can I stop this?
2. How do I set the maximum size, some images are huge and way too big!

Thanks, I'm a bit off a novice so it is prob something silly.
if you look in downlights you'll see a product, and the first 4 images are the same. I am currently trying to rearrange the layout of the product page so there is double of everything but this was happening before I started this so I dont think it is because of that.
Thanks!!

Thanks!!Your edits to the product details page CANNOT be ruled out as part of the issue.. and it's gonna be hard to troubleshoot what's going on with this add-on when your products details page is a MESS, and as a result all of your additional images are not showing up.. (I only see 2 of what should be SIX images displayed..)

Suggest rolling back your edits and get this page to a state where the only changes are those related to this mod or IH3 (don't remember off the TOP of my head if either of the add-ons make changes directly to the product details page) It wil then be easier to get a sense of what's going on on your site..

I think the error lies in your template somewhere.
if you view the source for your page and scroll thru, you'll see that the contents of your page are doubled up. You have two full <!--bof Main Product Image --> sections and 2 full <!--bof Reviews_Tab sc3--> sections.
Most of your extra images are coming in the reviews tab, but you are not seeing them on the page because you have css hiding them.

:dontgetitAnd going back to your ORIGINAL question.. your issues have really NOTHING to do with the Zen Lightbox mod..:no: I suggest you start a new thread and ask your questions there as they are all related to the edits you've made to your product details page and are NOT a result of the Zen Lightbox add-on at all..

BTW, your second question can be answer by simply reading through the Image Handler3 readme..

No, this is not a currently supported feature

Thanks for your help, and taking the time to look. I see I have a lot to learn still :blush:

Having a user moment here ... :blush:

Is there a way to have it NOT open the products_image but only open the Additional images? :unsure:

you could restore /includes/templates/[your-template]/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php with the original

this will take the main image back to the javascript new window popup, but the additional images will still have the lightbox applied

if you wanted it to not even popup that way then I guess you'd have to mod that same file to remove the link from the image

Unfortunately, the way this Admin does his pictures is the main products_image is small and the Additional Images are huge ...

To run this with Lightbox, the additional images are masked with the css so only the "medium" image shows which is the small products_image slightly enlarged ... then click that image to have lightbox display the images and additional images ... but this brings up a small 125x92 image first, the main products_image, then the additional images which are usually around 400x400 to 600x600 ...

So, lightbox is great on all the additional images but not so great for the first image ...

in admin have you tried not setting it to gallery mode with having the main image included?

I have no clue if that would work since I use it with main image+additional

does the first additional image have a consistent suffix
image_001 or image_med for ALL images?
if so, maybe you could hard code the main product image file and concat that suffix onto the image name it's linking to therefore bypassing the actual "main" image

Thanks Misty. I was doing some testing and had forgotten that I had javascript turned off :lamo:

How do you know that your Javascript turned off? I successfully installed Zen Lightbox 1.6.3_1.5a for Zen Cart V 1.5.0, but I did not see images on my product infor mage move as well as additional images.

I can't figure out the reasons why. Please let me know how I can check to see if my Javascript is turned on or turned off.

Thanks

You can enable or disable Javascript in your browser. It is on by default. If you've never turned it off, chances are that it's on. But if you want to check, you will need to google "How to enable Javascript in ****". Replace the **** with the name of the browser and browser version you are using, since the steps are different for each browser.

For example, "How to enable Javascript in FireFox 10" or How to enable Javascript in Chrome 8", etc.

What concerns me more is that you are saying "...I did not see images on my product information page move as well as additional images". What do you mean by "move".

Zen Lightbox does not relocate your images, move them to a new spot on the page, or animate your images.

If what you are saying is that your additional images are not showing up in the lightbox, go to admin>configuration>Zen Lightbox and make sure you have gallery mode turned on.

If what you are saying is that none of your images is showing up in your lightbox, then more than likely you have an installation error.

What other mods are you running? Did you make sure there are no files shared between ZLB and your other mods that might have needed file merging?

There's just no way to really help you troubleshoot your issue without specific information about what the issue is, and a link to the exact page where the issue is occurring so we can see it.

You're using FaulSlimbox, not ZenLightbox

their discussion area is here

i have changed over to use this mod

Any idea why my images are so large when you click on them?
