Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

DivaVocals:

Exactly.. why upload a 2000 x 2000 image if the desired display dimensions are 1000 x 1000..

HiDPI/Retina displays

HiDPI/Retina displays

uh huh.. and my answer is still the same.. If you want the image to DISPLAY at 1000 x 1000, and you are using IH4 inaddition to Zen Lightbox, then you need to change the image settings to make that happen.. If you are using IH4 (which will re-size, cache and optimize the displayed image) you need to also make sure that you change the compression setting so that it doesn't compress your images (default compression setting is 85)..

If you are NOT using IH4 along with Zen Lightbox, then you will need to change the way Zen Carts default image management works.

Your other option is to adjust your stylesheet to artificially change the image sizes.. The last two options are outside the scope of this support thread..

I have installed this and it works well with my site which uses a responsive template.
However, when the site is viewed on a smartphone I find that the lightbox is scollable up and down, but the left/right scroll bars have no effect (so the 'close button cannot be seen or used).

Can anyone point me in the direction of any info that may assist with the problem.

Thanks.

Simply put this module is not "responsive" and needs to be made "responsive"..

I see.
Not entirely sure I understand what that means, but - is that something that is likely to happen now that the developer appears to no longer be around???

Your RESPONSIVE template is only a small part of making your site RESPONSIVE.. Appearance modules like this one are not going to be RESPONSIVE just because your template is RESPONSIVE..

So to answer your question, the lightbox module is not RESPONSIVE so it doesn't adjust itself at different media queries.. and unless someone comes along and either makes this module RESPONSIVE or at least MOBILE ENABLED then you will get the result you are reporting.. Dunno if when this will happen.. If you really need this corrected, then you can seek the services of a developer to help make the necessary changes to this module that you require..

I finally have a "responsive" version of this plugin complete.

It is not responsive as to where it shrinks and expands with your browser window but instead fits to the window it's being opened in.

check it out, tell me what you think.

Agree worked and looks good (blackberry 9930), was a little confused about some of the messages: seemed to indicate my phone wasn't recognized, but look forward to the update.

Will it only work with a responsive template, or is it "template" independent?

The changes should be templates independent.. just mean that in small mobile devices the lightbox will work correctly..> mc12345678:

Certainly excited to see the results of installing it. :)

That's the beauty. I only altered the classes/zen_lightbox/slimbox.php file, nothing else. All admin configurations and file structure are intact and will work as it did, on responsive or not templates.

Looks bloody brilliant Raymond!

Raymond.

I am not trying to steal your thunder, but at the same time as I saw your post I had just uploaded a new copy of slimbox.php to my site and it works.
Last nigh before retiring I found the code for a responsive version of slimbox.js on google groups which I copied to replace the code in the zen lightbox .php script.

I haven't fully tested it, but it appears to work - it is attached if you'd like to compare it to yours and for anyone else to test for issues.

That's great, seems to work. One less plugin I have to upload and maintain. :smile:

and to be clear for others following this.. you replaced the slimbox.php file in **includes/classes/zen_lightbox **with the one you attached right???

Correct. :yes:

pewe,
I merged in your updates and submitted a new version.
I have also created a github repo to make collaboration easier (if anyone else here uses github).
