Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

pm99:

just installed zen lightbox. Love it. it brings the project upto the 2012 level of web dev.
Just one suggestion if you're thinking of installing. If you're looking for watermark option, then run and install ImageHandler 4 (as of this writing). That's what Image Handler recommends, but when I did a file dif on the affected files (having installed zen light box first), I found that there were no diffs to core files. Which is great. I could be just blow gas as I'm still new to ZC.
I used TextWrangler for file dif. It's great.

I use Mac too primarily...TextWrangler is so much easier to use than Notepad++, when possible I edit/compare files on the Mac.

You should try using his Zen Colorbox mod. It is a step up from the regular one we used and loved...this one comes with a slideshow effect for the images in the lightbox.

ColorBox for Zen Cart

works in 1.3.9h and 1.5 also. After you install it you can uninstall the regular lightbox.

Got it working on Zen cart 1.5 , a little problem is that Zen lightbox is adding LRG and MED to file names automatically

the actual URL in the csv file is zcimages/SW-2255060.jpg

but lightbox is adding the parts underlined here
http://localhost/images/medium/zcimages/SW-2255060_MED.jpg

we can do with the http://localhost/images/medium addition but _MED is problematic as we get the csv feed from our supplier and modifying it every time will not be possible.

also for large files the file name already have a lg distinguisher added but lightbox is adding another LRG to it.
eg zcimages/CR-664GTWKT_lg.jpg becomes
images/large/zcimages/CR-664GTWKT_lg_LRG.jpg

Any suggestion ?
Thanks

Got it . it was not Lightbox but Zen Cart itself
Changed the setting in Admin->Configuration->Images->Product Info - Image Medium Suffix
and
Product Info - Image Large Suffix

Thanks

did you try multiple rel codes?

i tried rel="lightbox aaa", doesn't work
is it possible to change the rel to class, then i can use the code class="lightbox bbb ccc" rel="aaa"

possibly, you'd have to re-write the plugin :)

Can anybody advise how to make a a custom cursor appear upon mouseover on the product info page? I want to change it to a magnifying glass, but only on the product info page. I tried changing the cursor setting in /includes/templates/my_template/css but it didn't seem to do anything.

Thanks for your time.

Best,

You'd probably have better luck at a higher level in the forum, this is really just support for this one plugin.

Would this not be directly related to this plugin? Zen lightbox is installed on my shop and is used for all my images. I figured that the cursor could be changed by tweaking some setting in Zen lightbox.

No, you wouldn't need to tweak ZLB for that, here is a link that might work.

i am having trouble having the lightbox image resize. ideally i would like to have the image increase by 200%. what script adjustment do i need to use and which file do i need to change this in.

I do not want to batch resize all my image files as i have over 200,00 so a resize on lightbox would be better

please , any suggestions

Not sure you can do that with just percentage. Percentage in html is usually relative to the page, not to the object.
If all of your images are the same width and height, you can probably hard code some values in there.
Take a look at image handler, maybe it has an up-size option that could help you.

Not a feature of Image Handler.. Image Handler is an image optimizer add-on which works with default Zen Cart image functions. It does not re-size images.

Hello people I'v just installed this mod but it only opens the images at the bottom of the page is it possible to make the image open in the middle of the page ?

thanks in advance

I have a problem when an image is clicked on it just loads the image (no box). You need to click the browser back button to close the image - I have searched and cannot find resolution.
http://nitromarine.com.au/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_30&products_id=463 here is an example page.
I am also using image handler 4 which was installed before lightbox, zen cart v1.5.0.

Same answer to both of you.. this does not sound like any thing more than a simple install error as neither of your issues are known issues/bugs/defects with this add-on.. Re-check/Re-do your install as it is MOST LIKELY that a missing or corrupted file is at the heart of your issues..

well i managed to get it to work but where do i put the additional images?
please forgive me for being a little thick :lookaroun
