Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

sunrisecc:

To verify, it appears that I am missing in (B) images/zen_lightbox - I do not have any images folder directly under includes
There is an images folder (with zen_lightbox) in the main folder of the unzip.
Thanks for noticing that, you can upload that zen_lightbox folder or the one from (A)
you just want to upload in into your images folder on your server

I guess what I am trying to state is that the images folder should have been in the (1) folder in the original zip.

(B) - [1_Installer_files/includes/images/zen_lightbox]

[(store_root)/images/zen_lightbox]

should be (B) - [1_Installer_files/images/zen_lightbox]

DarkAngel:

ok, went to your store and is this a purchased template? First time seeing the additional images at the top of the page vs the bottom of description page.

I tried the one on http://www.mythreejewelz.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=4

and the first image gives no lightbox, the other two do but they do not go from one to the other like they should, could you post your settings in admin?

The template is Avonlee_Contempo, a free offering from Picaflor-Azul. Anne did a great job modifying the page so that all images showed on the same line instead of having secondary location below the description. (A request from the store owner.)

I clicked on the link as you have it and was able to get the lightbox to work on all three images. Can you tell me your browser and any other information as to the time you could not get the first one to work. I'll try to duplicate and find the cause.

Be aware that the problem with the prev/next icons appeared before we modified the template to what you see.

These are the settings under lightbox.
Once again, all we are trying to do is get the next/prev buttons to stay obvious (not hide).

Thanks for your assistance. It still has me baffled.

Did you try the fix suggested this morning yet?

I've searched and searched but cannot find the right info for this and most of the posts are way too old anyway.
I'm using V1.5 zencart and IH4. I also have Lightbox installed and everything is working properly.
I want to have my images loop after the last one is displayed.
The next button drops off after the last image is displayed as normal.
I want the next button to continue to be displayed and the last image to wrap back to the first image.
Also previous button to display on first image and wrap back to the last image.
Essentially a continuous looping process for the previous and next buttons.
Has anyone posted a solutions for this that I could reference or are there any new simple solutions out there.
I tried Slimbox but it will not display more that one image at a time in Firefox and jumps out of Slimbox on additional images in IE.

there is no built in setting for it, but you can add it yourself manually.
edit [includes/classes/zen_lightbox/options.php]

add

'loop:' . 'true, ' .

after the FIRST echo line
it will look like this when you are done

echo 
'loop:' . 'true, ' .
'overlayOpacity:' . ZEN_LIGHTBOX_OVERLAY_OPACITY .
',overlayFadeDuration:' . ZEN_LIGHTBOX_OVERLAY_FADE_DURATION .

I'm not sure I really understand your problem. I checked your site and the lightbox seems to be working fine.

This worked perfectly. Such a simple line of code too.
Thank you

I FOUND IT!

As I was following the remainder of the thread, advice was given to check that there were two copies of the next/prev icons.
I found one of the directories was empty. Copied files from the templates specific to the general directory and everything started to work as we need it to.

Thank you to all that tried to help.

Well, now what?
After installing IH4 and Lightbox, my image hover zoom no longer works on small images.
I was so wrapped up in testing the lightbox functionality that I missed this.
Any known cause or repair?

Yep. It is what sent me to look at the different directories and their contents.
Apparently I had the wrong permissions to the subdirectory. What I copied earlier did not make it and like others I was really tired so I did not notice.

Thank you for your time, knowledge, and assistance.
And thank you for the add-on update.

Hi guys.

Is it possible to make language support?
It loads pictures from (../images/zen_lightbox/MYPICTUREs.gif) but i'd like it to be something like (../buttons/LANGUAGE/images/zen_lightbox/MYPICTUREs.gif
Somehow I cannot figure out any beetter solution then to correct CSS but it is not an option as it is not dinamical anyway.
I am using Zen Cart v1.5.0 and zen_lightbox v1.6.3 _ 1.5a

Thanks in advance for reply.

Your issue isn't clear from your post.. It would help if you would explain what business problem it is you are trying to solve..

Hi.
Thanks for respond and sorry for being not clear enough.
I have two languages: English and Czech.
zen_lightbox navigation buttons (next, previouse, close) are in english by default. I want them to be chaged depending on the language I choose.

I have prepared a button cpied it to ../includes/templates/MYTEMPLATE/buttons/CZECH/zen_lightbox/closelabel.gif
Went to the website, change to czech language click on a picture and the navigation buttons are still in english. :-(

This is not a Zen Lightbox issue.. the navigation buttons are not managed/affected by the lightbox mod.. I'm afraid you will need to create your own thread and post your question there. This way someone can help you with this issue..

I am confused. I think we do not undertand each other.

So basicaly zen lighbox doesn't support multilanguage? like if i would want to use different buttons for different languages it is not gonna work because links to button imags are defined in CSS?
