Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

niestudio:

I have been reading this, but am out of town and haven't been able to look into it yet. Slimbox, which is what ZLB is based on is no longer in active development, so it's unlikely that a true responsive version will come along. I will compare it to ZCB to see if there is a simple fix I could add, but don't hold your breath :)
As I come from under the fog of my holiday celebrations/shenanigans:laugh:, I believe that this is why I selected Zen Colorbox (beta) over Zen Lightbox for my client's who have responsive templates..

Zen colorbox has been resubmitted a couple times, but now they don't want me to submit it as a new plugin, they wanted me to upgrade one from a few years ago. I've done that, and imagine it will be approved soon.

well that makes sense since your version is newer and improved.. it was going to be my suggestion to you on github..

Besides, seems we've all learned about spawning new package paths and how development can go awry if all that is needed is to carry on down the same path.

I guess I know better now. I was just looking at it from my point of view, that I never even downloaded that code, so it was not an upgrade of the old one, this one was from scratch. I asked the OD for his blessing to replace ALL of his code with mine, so it's still not really an "upgrade" except from the perspective of the plugins area.

well in commercial software a complete rewrite of something with a new version number is still considered an upgrade.. but I hear you and I understand.. I think it's admirable that you were considering the other developer.. just looking forward to seeing the new color box available for the world!

This is a brilliant pluggin!! One issue that I have is some of my products have long titles and this can affect some of the smaller images displayed and the spacing between the words and the close button. The words are squashed up against the button and because the image is relatively small, the words are crtammed up underneath each other and it looks pretty bad. I was wondering whether there was a way to adjust the layout in a way that could space the heading slightly better or remove it altogether. I have attached an image so you can see what I mean. In my case it may need the title removing. If someone can tell me where I might alter this I would be very greatful.

Maybe a link to your site would help better so they can go test and see code and all to get better fix on it...but have you tried your stylesheet for the lightbox and setting a size for the font in there? Or shrink width/height of your close button there.

not sure if you could make the entire white area a bit wider in there, I have never tried that but then my images are larger that=n that one...you could try "growing" your images if they are all that small.

I would suggest starting by making your images larger. There isn't much use for the lightbox itself it is only opening images the same size as the thumbnail. Beyond that, you could make adjustments to the css file to adjust the padding, or make a min-width for the whole box. Or even adjust the font size so that it doesn't take up so much space.

I have a question I cannot find the answer to. I have a main product image, when open in lightbox it says image 1 of 2. There is not but one picture. What do I do to correct this. Thank you in advance.

What other plugins are installed? There are a few that when installed alongside this one require some javascript modifications. (Posted about a few months ago, sorry haven't gone back to find the specific post(s))

the "Extra" image is from inside​ your reviews tab

And I thought that fix to the class file to correct this was part of one of the updates to ZLB..

The fix though is certainly posted in this support thread (yet another reason why I always say that it pays to read through the support thread)

I know we worked on that, but maybe we only published that fix to ZCB

these are two distinct fixes and I clearly explain what each of these modifications actually fixes.
