Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

Here is how to get mailchimp to use a new window upon pressing "Subscribe".

add target="_blank" to line 13 of tpl_mailchimp_sidebox.php as illustrated in the code below

'method="post" target="_blank" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form">';

next step is to throw some javascript in to "size" the new window

then I will work on getting it to start in a lightbox

anybody want to help?

Slimbox is a very slimed down lightbox... doesn't have code for anything other then images.. where colorbox is a full lightbox and can display anthing... I use it to dispaly images, help, privacy, contact-us form and such... easy to setup, degrades back to a standard popup... responsive, no problems. create the standard popup, add zen colorbox code, set a class, set a watch for the class in DOM, done...

i am using zen lightbox

and what is being suggested is that you should be using Zen Colorbox.. As I have posted here MANY TIMES recently, (see a few posts above for my latest post) Zen Lightbox is OUTDATED and will not be UPDATED. You should be using Zen Colorbox instead of this plugin..

I know... did you know the core is Slimbox! like zen colorbox is jQuery Colorbox! The masters made it easy to intergrate into our sites..

you'll spend allot of time on Slimbox, which doesn't support loading forms (iframes) or use something that does support iframes... just trying to save you time!!

OK. Please know that I am a total noob to Zencart and forgive me if my question is out of ignorance. I just installed Zen Lightbox v1.6.4a ZC 1.5. When I click on the additional image of a product first, it is blank. When i click on the first image of a product it will show, but will also show the same image when subsequently clicking on others.

Help.

Hint.... (another message brought to you by the makers of "Why reading the support threads can be informative")

divavocals:

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zen colorbox is the answer as there will be no further updates to this module as slimbox which this module uses is old, outdated and unsupported..

Greetings-

With http://angelcorp.net/test/zencart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=47&products_id=87, the lightbox works perfect.
But with http://angelcorp.net/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=59&products_id=94, the main image shows twice before additional image.
Possibly it's because the latter site has two language version (Chinese and English) involved.

How to let main image only show once before additional image in lightbox, even multiple language packs are installed (if it's the reason)?

Thank you.

Found solution on another thread: #20 of

Thanks to contributors.

Im in ver v1.5.4, with IH4 & Lightbox1.70 installed. Only the main image is styled in the lightbox. Additional images will not style in lightbox and only display in the original popup. I have tested many different configs and setting and am at a loss to figure out why additional images will not style in the lightbox. My additional images are clearly missing rel="lightbox-g". Has anyone run into this issue and been able to resolve it.

Okay, with that sorted. Are you sure you merged all the files correctly? since IH and Light-box are using some common files. The best way is to install the light-box files first and the the IH4 files.

Good questions I looked into the merge question first and setup another test site. I am still getting the site together. I started the site @goddaddy here but the servers are way to overloaded and slow. That said zen colorbox and IH4 work fine together.

I moved to A Small Orange hosting. Installed my template files and found that I was having the issue of only the main image getting styled and coded for a light/slim box. Gallery mode gets ignored, additional photos are left to the standard ZC popup window.

My original install on the new host (ASO) bringing over only my edited template here. This is the same behavior with Zen Lightbox. No additional images styled or working gallery mode (option is toggled on in admin for lightbox galley mode, as well as additional images for product type).

My new fresh install on the new host here repeats this same behavior http://zen.qcglassnvape.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_2&products_id=1]here Zen colorbox. No additional images styled or working gallery mode (option is toggled on in admin for colorbox galley mode, as well as additional images for product type).

Oddly the mouseover image preview setting for IH4 works perfectly on all additional product images. Still does not open large image into the lightbox style.

I have a vague remembrance that zen_lightbox (unlike the zen_colorbox plugin, which provides similar functionality) has "issues" with jQuery versions later than 1.7 (?); you're using jQuery 1.11.1.

Thank you good info I did not know anything about. I will check the JQuery version.

Hello.

My situation: New ZC 1.5.4 installed, using CKEditor for texts, alongside Additional Image add-on for more images and now I wanted to install Zen Lightbox in order for the additional image to show up in lightbox, not traditional pop-up.

I installed everything like it says in the readme file, however, it doesn't seem to work for me.

I tried to switch any possible jquery file from v1.1.0 to v1.11.2 , nothing changes. I still get the first (big) image shown via pop-up windows, and I can't even switch to next-previous (additional) image, as the arrows aren't shown and ... can't do it.

Additionally , if I try to open one of the additional images first, it opens like any other file - in the same tab/window, but not in lightbox mode.

See here for example.

ANY help will be much than appreciated!

When a problem is found with a plugin, it is advised to review the forum thread for that plugin. It would help to read the last couple of pages at least. Doing that should have identified that this plugin is no longer supported but equivalent functionality is available through another plugin. That plugin is Zen Colorbox.

Please read back about the issues as to why no longer supported...

It was probably not installed correctly. I would move each file individually to the correct folder. Also make sure your image names do not have any special characters like image(0).jpg
