@Crystal: Look at the source. Looks like Zen Cart to me :wink2:

I think they are just remapping using SEO URL's and substituting html instead of php extension (hides the language used to output the html).

@Izon: Just a hunch but maybe some other JavaScript you are loading is conflicting? Maybe temporarily disable the other scripts to test.

That is a nice looking highly customized site. If you can I suggest communicating with the original developer for ideas.

Well thats pretty nifty...never looked at that before and didn't look at the source code. Will have to check that out more...:smartalec: Thanks, learn something everyday on here.

Motti,

Find the Images folder where your product images are, and add images to it as follows:
If your main product image is productA.jpg , then additional images can be
productA_01.jpg
productA_02.jpg
etc...

As a matter of fact, you put anything you want after the underscore.
If you already have an underscore in the image name, then...., oh nooooo, it's kryptonite.

Make sure you have additional images turned ON in admin.

I was hoping for a better solution to the large image pop-up and then I ran into the Zen Lightbox!!

Beautiful thing.

It seems to work in unison with IH2 and haven't seen any problems there.

I also have the CSS horizontal drop down menu.

Question:
Regardless of whether it's an IH2 zoom image being displayed, or the faded out background with lightbox, the menu text behind shines right thru!!

Before I go off to kill another day experimenting with the code, does anyone know why this might be the case and how to change it??

Thanks!

Sorry but I can’t find where is the additional images in my admin, I read line by line in my configuration/images among other places.
Possible I install it wrong?

Thank you

motti,

admin>configuration>images>Product Info - Number of Additional Images per Row
make sure this is set to something besides 0

admin>catalog>product types>product general......edit layout (right sidebox)Show Product Additional Images......set to 1

Right to the point, fund it.

Its seem like I am getting closer, but still not their

When I click on my picture it dose show next, and when I click on it just keep roll and roll, best if you see the link http://www.tiledepot.us/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=37

I try every think I could, like uploading either one or both from the admin /product or try also thru my FTF, I try changing the names too, and this is the closer I got to it working

Motti-

I see your point. I've not enabled Additional Images with the Lightbox mod, so I don't have any recommends. If I think of anything I will post back. Maybe one of the Lightbox experts lurking about this thread can assist?

Good luck,
Woody

Hi Woody

Thank you any way, I keep my eye on this thread

Thank You

motti,
do you have sm, med and lrg images for all of your product images or are you uploading one large main image for a product and letting the browser resize based on the image size settings in the admin? (no wrong answer here....just trying to troubleshoot)

Hi barco

I did not resize my pictures.
If you referee to admin on my Zen cart I did not touch it either.
I think I know what you are saying, (not sure) I am only trying to set 2 pictures UglyGlove.jpg 180 x 320 UglyGlove_01.jpg, 250 x 250 as a test, as you can see on my link.

If you can direct me to a link of some one that working well, I think I may be able to figure understand it better..

Thank you again

do me a favor......humor me......remove the _lrg from the additional image and try it......if it still doesn't work then move the renamed additional image to the same folder as the main product image and lets see what we get.....this problem is related to a naming/location issue......I think (never commit to a theory...LOL)

Location ?:huh:

Both pictures are in /public_html/store/images/

There are large and medium file directories under the image folder.

Hi and Thank You for your reply

So is that mean I need to put the main pic in large and the other or others in medium ?

Sorry but I did first ask if there is any thread on step by step for that mod, in my download the was nothing and I am kinda new to web in general

Hi goodspeed

I read it once for now, even doe he dose not speak specific on that issue , with you mention the med large folder and his instructions I think it will solve that issue.
I will work on it tomorrow and on other thinks he suggest ( like re sizing pics )

Thank you very much you been a big help for me

It should help you get your images in the right place and right size. Once they are in the right place and right size, lightbox should work with no problem.
