Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

I use Lightbox with Zen 1.3.7 + IH2 and have no problem with image not showing, no code needed to be modified.

Anyway, 1 tip for all: since lightbox is used only when the customers view the product in product_info page, there is no reason to load it on every page and slow down your site, you can rename stylesheet_lightbox.css to product_info.css

Does any one know a way to use lightbox in an ezpage?
I need to make a page of thumbnails that when clicked, open in to large images using lightbox.

I'm searching for it, but I don't find the answer.
Can I move the box a little more down?

ok thanks, the issue I had with FF was that with image open in lightbox, if you clicked on middle of image rather than the "Close" button, in FF it would not close, but in IE it would. So if that is fixed, great.

Gerry

No, you have to click outside of the box to close it (if you don't want to click "close"), this is an option which can be set in admin page.

I've removed the code that caused the lightbox to close when you click on the image. So, this is no longer an issue.

Everything I was hoping for is in this update. Thanks Alex, when will it become available for dl?

It is available already. The link is just several posts above, and in his signature too. I'd be better if you read carefully before asking.
Regards.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for all your hard work on this add-on. This will definitely enhance the look and feel of my photography site. I'm having a slight problem though with the popup box. The "previous" and "next" links don't show up--all I get is a white border. Neither does the "Close" link show up. The link still works, it's just that it seems as if it's blending in with the white border so you can't see it. Here's my site if you need to check out what I mean: Brad Steinagel Photography

Thanks,
Brad

Problem Solved...

I didn't realize I had to take the gif images out of the images/zen_lightbox folder before I installed them onto my server.

Brad

If someone still has problems with ZenCart 1.3.7.1, ImageHandler 2.0 and Zen Lightbox 1.4 here is what i did to fix it:

locate the file "additional_images.php" it should be in your includes\modules"template_name_dir".

Go to line 23 and remove the ". '$'".
The line should look now like this:
$products_image_base = str_replace($products_image_extension , '', $products_image);

Thats it. Hope it helps others.

Cheers,
Climax

Actually, I didn't solve my problem. I was able to see the rotating circle as well as the close button for one image but then they disappeared again. Same issue as above. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

It's me again. I solved my problem again by copying the zen_lightbox directory to includes\templates\custom\images\ [B]and[\B] by putting the gif imagesin that same directory inside includes\templates\custom\images\ separately. Is this necessary?

You'll need to rename two folders within the 'includes' folder (from the zip file).

Then you should upload all the files within the 'includes' folder to your website (keeping the file structure the same).

Did you follow the instructions in the readme file?

Thanks for posting this find Climax. I'll review the code change for the 1.5 release.

i have the zen lightbox installed and it works perfect and then i installed image handler 2, which works fine but now when i click on the "larger image" on the product page only a small image comes up in the lightbox.

anybody know of a fix?

thanks
