Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

these mod is not working if you enlarged product image from the product review page!:(

Thanks for the info. I'll get this fixed in the next release. :)

hi,

i have a question with ibox. Looking at this link...

http://www.phliworldwide.com/catalog...&products_id=4

When clicking on the larger image the attributes dropdown appears in front of the image. Anyone have a suggestion on how to not have the dropdown appear in the fore-ground?

thanks!!!

That's an IE problem. If you look at it in Firefox, it doesn't happen. It has to do with IE's way of handling dropdowns - basically, it renders them on top of the page, no matter what order or z-level they are given, so they "poke through".

The only real way to solve it (besides destroying IE) is to put an empty iframe "shim" under the thing you want on top. For whatever reason, IE lets iframes rest on top of dropdowns, but nothing else. So you basically would have to put an iframe behind the entire lightbox (and screen) after pop-up.

Alex would know a lot better of how to integrate an iframe behind the picture and background, but you could google for IE iframe shim to learn more in the meantime.

A workaround would be to use radio-style buttons as attribute selections instead of a dropdown. It's maybe different from what you want, but it will work.

Man! That's a wonderful contribution. It works like a charm! I have been looking for this kind of enhancement to the store so I can impress my client but just don't know how to code it myself. Thank you very much for the great work.:wink2:

just like to say that i have both ih2 and lbox installed and both seem to be working fine
admintidally i dont get the pop up image from ih2 when i hover over the image but i didnt want that anyway lol but my lbox works fine on multiple images created with ih2

Nice to hear that people are enjoying Zen Lightbox.

I should be releasing a new version soon and will keep you guys updated.

Hey modchipfitters, did you do anything in particular to get these two working together or just a standard install?

nope standard install

i installed ih2 first then l/box after

Zen Lightbox will work with IH2, but only if IH2 is not resizing your images (I think).

However, where Zen Lightbox and IH2 do not get on is during the 'on the fly' resize of images.

I have contacted Tim (the guy behind IH2) for some support regarding this, but he has not replied yet.

So, at the moment I'm trying to get my head around how IH2 works and how to make Zen Lightbox compatible with it.

I'm fairly convinced that Tim, sadly, may not be coming back. His last post here was nearly four months ago, and his last post at Breakmyzencart was in April. Unless anyone knows otherwise?

Yeah. I always wondered what happened to Tim. Hope he's ok. :)

I can't get the two to work together. Here is one of my product pages: http://www.jonahcoyote.com/zc/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_67&products_id=180

I see the lightbox popup but I don't get any image. I tried turning IH auto resize feature off but no go.

Anyone have any ideas? I'd love to get this working cuz it looks sweet!

Thanks,
Jonah

Zen Lightbox does not support IH2 at the moment. I'm currently working on this and will release a nice new version of Zen Lightbox asap. :)

Alex - just out of curiosity - what doesn't work? It appears to work fine on my site. I mean, other than the addslashes stuff?

I too have had issues working on my new site. I did a fresh install of 135 then updated the database from my previous 127 version. I then added the lightbox contribution and all was working really well (great mod Alex - thanks for your efforts).

I then wanted to add IH2 and when I installed it I accepted the scan the folder to upgrade from images created using the previous version and then it all went wrong. The lightbox failed to work which was frustrating to say the least.

Through trial and error and reading this thread I can confirm that all is now working i.e. zen135 + IH2 + Lightbox (in test mod at the moment) after I went through and deleted all my products that I copied accross from my previous version and used the IH window to upload the the new default image then the Med image & finally the large image. When you do this it all works ok. Incidentally, you must turn off the IH resizing image option in Admin>Configuration>Images.

I hope that helps someone avoid the wasted time I have had today!!!

Kind regards,

H

The above post outlines the problem. Zen Lightbox will not function when Image Handler is automaticaly resizing images.

I have got Zen Lightbox working with IH2, but not with resizing enabled.

I have IH2 resizing images with lightbox and it works fine for me. Alex, I opened you up to my site again, so you can poke around.

Is there anyone who has a site I can look at where it is not working? I can compare it to my (still not live) site.

I may have made more changes to the code that I didn't post here - sometimes I fix things late at night that I forget about the next morning. I'll run a comparison and see what it turns up, but a site that isn't working would go a long way to finding the problem.

I don't appear to be whitelisted. :(

I'll be releasing version 1.3 this weekend and am actually working on it now!

Boylan - any chance you could help with the IH2 support? It sounds like you have made a few edits to the code. If you can spare a few minutes to help PM me and I'll send my email/contact details over to you.

Thanks. :)

Alex, do you have a demo of Zen lighbox working?

It is ibox modified to work with Zen Cart?

Thanks!
