Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

I use IH4 and have all of my product images automatically populated with that. Right now I have one product image and it scales it down for the thumbnails, etc.

What I am wanting to do is have extra images below my main product image that people can click through to see product samples, etc. - nice and big thumbnails, and have a nice popup to go with it. Like a slideshow of sorts, I guess that's what a lightbox is?

I'm sorry, I have a very hard time figuring out zen cart and coding. But I am trying, and I am doing it on my end 100% myself.

Anyway, I was reading about compatibility about IH4 and this addon, and I am not sure I understand? I have to disable the nice lightbox feature? I haven't installed this yet, I am trying to figure out how it works before I do so I don't break anything.

ZL uses jquery v 1.4.4 which conflicts with other modules / templates.

Learned this the hard way after installing a template from Picaflor Azul on one of my development sites.

See: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?213334-Westminster-New&p=1249006#post1249006

My solution is posted there as well (a few posts down).

Suggest to replace ZL jquery v1.4.4 with jquery v1.10.2 then test and submit an update to the plugins.

Cheers / Frank

IMO really not neccesary to submit an update for that. Alot of plugins that use jquery use the version that is out at that time. So maybe a sticky in a subforum would be more appropriate to notify those who installl blindly that they should look what version or if multiple versions of jquery are being loaded on their site and to choose the latest one that works.

Open source forum.. Anyone can update a module.. YOU certainly can make this update and submit it.. :smile:

The author has stated that he will be making NO further updates to this module for two reasons:

1. Many of the underlying supporting elements are soon to be/may already be obsolete
2. This module is NOT responsive and for the afore mentioned reason will not be updated to be responsive..

It does, but I would suggest replacing this with Zen Colorbox..

@DivaVocals,
We updated ZLB to jQ 1.10.2 on the GitHub version. I guess we never published this version to the plugin area.

Do you remember a reason why?

HEY DANIEL!!!

Hmmmmm.. I was under the impression that everything on GitHub had been submitted to the plugins area..

**EDITED TO ADD: **Looks like NONE of the ZLB code in the GitHub repo were ever submitted.. Zen Colorbox was submitted.. Dunno why though..

I really thought so too, but I just DLed the "current version" in the plugins area and it did NOT have the jQ 1.10.2 update in it…

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... I didn't know either until I just looked.. I stopped using this as I like Zen Colorbox better, and I remember us discussing the fact that much of the underlying code in ZLB was soon to be obsolete..

Hallo is it possible to make zencart lightbox responsive or disable when using mobiles ?

Thank You

It might be possible, but you'd have to do it yourself. Slimbox is very old now, and hasn't been updated to be responsive.
Check out colorbox (in the plugin area) for a more modern solution.

It's that version why I recently had said that I thought ZLB might be responsive like, but conversations lead back to just using ZCB. Agree the conversations were leaning towards just going with what is still supported rather than trying to take on a new to be come obsolete product.

Can anyone tell me whats going on with this http://www.bluehippoboutique.co.uk/index.php?main_page=page_4

I was supposed to add lightbox to these images, but it seems to just take it to the folder i stored the image. Wanted similar to how it is found in the products with additional images, as in you click it and you get an enlarged version and can click next / back to scroll through, but it shows a smaller version as a gallery on the page

Installed on 1.5 working great except product review page
Example

domain.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=3

Product module appear at bottom left of image and linked to product image.

On all other pages images are appearing correct.

I have even removed product title and model but still product review default page showing product model at bottom left of image and linked as as large image.

Can you please tell me how to fix this?

I can't remember the exact fix (besides switching to zen colorbox which is likely to have support moving forward), but there was a conflict of this and at least one other plugin (TPP I think it was) that lead to seeing something like this issue. A fix was provided several pages back and had to do with changes to the javascript. I may have expressed why this is seen incorrectly, but there was something about the code that lead to seeing this. Please identify what plugins you have installed so that better help may be offered.

And you are right switching to Zen Colorbox is the answer as there will be no further updates to this module as Slimbox which this module uses is old, outdated and unsupported..

I searched this thread to no avail....

Anybody have any idea how to use zen lightbox with the zen mailchimp newsletter plugin?

No luck on the zen mailchimp forum either.

thank you
