Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

I'm 99% sure that your filenames and/or location for these additional images are incorrect.

If setup correctly, your additional images wil appear on the product page (and also be viewable via Zen Lightbox).

I recommend reading this tutorial...

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=58

That should sort things out for you. :)

Hi Guys,

Im a totally newbie..so please excuse my basic questions.

Iv installed light box (well tried) i can now see Zen cart in my admin area.

And uploaded the files to the correct destination.

But when i click on a image (to enlarge) instead of opening in a new window like before..it opens in the same...

and you have to click back to get where you where before.

Wat have i done wrong??

Thank you

oohhh:-)

im cleverer than i thought....managed to get it working!! :smartalec:

Now just to find out how to add multiple images... :yuck:

Hi guys.

Iv tried to follow the tutorial to add multiple pixs..but still cant seem to follow it.

1. Created a new product and uploaded a picture (signature.jpg) to a folder called 'Cricket Bats'

2. Used FTP to place two more pixs in that folder called:

signature_01.jpg
signature_02.jpg

3. When i find the product (http://letsplaysport.co.uk/zc/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_4&products_id=144)

i click the main picture and it loads..but it does not switch to he second / third pic../it just hangs?

What am i doing wrong?

Thankyou

Whenever I install this file:

tpl_modules_main_product_image

I get this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_lightbox() in /home/treed/public_html/boutique/includes/templates/classic/templates/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php

Nevermind, I fixed it :)

2 questions.... is it possible to add captions like on the example page? If so, how?

Also, was there a resolution for the hover images? I have everything working with image handler and lightbox except that

Thanks!!

I followed that one to the letter and still no luck. Tried different directories, everything. And I know the first one is right, because it's finding both the medium and large image.

I had the same problems as everyone else with additional images not showing up even after re-following the readme. Replace modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/additional_images.php with the attached file. If you have altered this file use a comparison program like winmerge to merge the files. Basically, if you go through your existing addtional_images.php file and replace all instances of str_replace with ereg_replace it should work. At least it does on my heavily modified cart. :smile:

Plus, it may or may not be helpful for Firefox and Opera to show extra images by adding this line to your stylesheet.css :

.additionalImages a {display:all;}

Let me know if this works.

Thanks very much Matt. Unfortunately, still no luck. And I can even see the empty <!--bof Additional Product Images --><!--eof Additional Product Images --> comment tags in the source code. Very frustrating.

Have you tried the suggestions documented in posts 723 and 725?

Hello Vik007,
how did you fix this, I have the same problem and I don't know what to do?
It might be a browser problem (I'm running internet explorer 6.0), it seems that all websites with the lightbox don't display the lightbox on my computer, they just open the image in the browser.
Thanks.

Do you have Java Script installed and enabled?

Yes I do and i checked the website with firefox and the lightbox works fine.
here is the link to one of my product pages, can someone check if for their IE the lightbox works.
Thanks.

OK, I finally got it working. It just absolutely wouldn't work without image handler installed. As soon as I installed that, everything was good. Only thing I can't figure out now is why "use css buttons" no longer works...

Work for my fine (IE7). However, your website (and all the images displayed in Zen Lightbox) take quite a while to load for me. I'm on a 20mb/s connection so that shouldn't be an issue.

When I viewed the larger image of your product the Zen Lightbox loading animation was displayed for aroun 5-10 seconds. Then the picture loaded.

Slowness aside, it worked fine. :)

Hi, I tried updating to the latest zen lightbox. I removed all the files associated with the previous version zen lightbox. I got this crazy error after installing the .sql file. The site works when I remove the file. Anybody know how to fix this?

The site works when I remove the file.

Which file are you talking about?

Also, how did you run the Zen Lightbox installation SQL?

Ho copied and pasted the file. It accepted the SQL but then screws up my whole site. I had to remove it!

What version of Zen Cart are you running? Also, what other contributions do you have installed?
