Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

Sorry, screwed that code paste up.. The offending code is:

echo '<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
document.write(\'<a href="' . zen_lightbox($products_image_large, addslashes($products_name), LARGE_IMAGE_WIDTH, LARGE_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '" rel="lightbox[gallery]" title="' . addslashes($zen_lightbox_products_name) . '">' . zen_image($products_image_medium, addslashes($products_name), MEDIUM_IMAGE_WIDTH, MEDIUM_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br /><span class="imgLink">' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</span></a>\')//--></script>';

Fixed that previous issue. A file had not uploaded correctly. HOwever, now no lightbox displays. When you click on the image, it loads the full image directoy at http://straightrazordesigns.com/images/image.jpg.. I've double checked now and all files were uploaded correctly, and Lightbox is turned to on?

Thanks
David

What does come out as HTML output is:

<!-- bof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-15 -->
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"><!--
document.write('<a href="images/cu41a.JPG" rel="lightbox[gallery]" title="Maestro Livi Custom 5 piece Cutlery Set and Block"><img src="bmz_cache/d/d7e23fc49b67e079cbd77e8a18be4f53.image.92x59.JPG" alt="Maestro Livi Custom 5 piece Cutlery Set and Block" title=" Maestro Livi Custom 5 piece Cutlery Set and Block " width="92" height="59" /><br /><span class="imgLink">larger image</span></a>')//--></script><!-- eof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-15 -->

It seems that in the headers there is no reference to the JS files. Was there a file that was supposed to be overwritten that I missed? Or do I need to insert the references for those JS files manually?

Hi,

Installed Lightbox(updated) for zencart on my site... but I have run in to a few problems.
first of all it load the additional images, but I found out it was because the file names were to long?!?
Now I have created a new product and created the small, 1 x med image and all the large images... all in their correct folders. The problem is that when I click on the thumbnail I Lightbox is not displaying the large images..but one of them it does?!?! I have checked the size of the Large images and they are all the same size, I have cleared IE's cache to make sure that wasn't the problem, but still no luck.
Here is the product that is playing up: http://www.badluckclothing.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=16

Any help would be great as my site has to be live by next week when my advertising goes live.

Cheers
Dan

EDIT: I have just checked the site, if I hover over the thumbs at the bottom... all but one link to the small image and not the LRG file?!?!?! could this be a setting problem or an error with Lightbox?

Hi

Looks to me as if you have not loaded the large images correctly.

There is a normal image:
http://www.badluckclothing.co.uk/images/cry.jpg

a medium image:
http://www.badluckclothing.co.uk/images/medium/cry_MED.jpg

but no large image:
http://www.badluckclothing.co.uk/images/large/cry_LRG.jpg

Check you have all the files correctly uploaded and named.

This is strange... I have checked the files and it appears the the FTP software I'm using may not of uploaded ALL the files?! I'm using SmartFTP.

The problem is also with this listing: http://www.badluckclothing.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=17

I used my hosting own webFTP and I got 2 LRG images uploaded ok, but then 2 that havent! - so I'm now wondering if it is a problem with zencart/lightbox or my FTP connection/software.

For many reasons, mostly related to your Internet connection and/or the Hosting company, files will fail to upload regardless of what method is used. This also applies to a File Mgr. / Upload feature provided by your Hoster.

That is why it's important to use an FTP program that will tell you when upload/downloads fail.

As to exactly "why" they fail, well, let's chalk it up to one of the mysteries of Life. :wink:

When I click on the image to get the larger.. the image shows up at the bottom of my page and creates a huge amount of space between the content and the image. I have to actually scroll down through empty space to seen the image.

check it out here. it is a test site..
http://www.activatemediainc.com/arctesting/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=4

Not sure what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Just to let you all know I have solved my problem.
After having a little think I remembered A problem I had using Lightbox on a non ZC site.
my images were named correctly, andall had uploaded correctly, the problem was my LRG files were all saved with the jpg extension in uppercase, i.e. JPG. Making these all lowercase solved the problem. I remembere that the lightbox plugin dosen't like uppercase extensions.

Thanks for the help guys

Hello,
I installed Zen Lightbox and switched this functionality on, and this part works like a dream... However the old/original popup image still remains on the product pages. See example:
http://rebecca-louise-jewellery.co.u...products_id=25
Has anyone any idea how I can switch the old popup off without wrecking the lightbox?
Also oddly enough, there is just one product that doesn't show the second, unwanted popup box:
http://rebecca-louise-jewellery.co.u...&products_id=1

Any ideas will be very very welcome!!
Thanks in advance :)

Hi

Your links are not quite right I'm afraid. Can you repost them??

I did try and guess your shops directory and I came across an oscommerce shop, and alarmingly an installation page, which is pretty dangerous.

I think it would be best to rename or best to delete any unwanted directories.

I need a uninstall script for zen lightbox 1.4 Can somebody point me in the right direction for this? Thank you.

I mean for my sql database.

Hello! I'd appreciate any help with this. I'm sure it's been answered before but I can't find anything to help me out.

I installed zenLightBox and it's working absolutely beautifully! Except that I can't seem to get it out from under my CSS menu. I'm using this menu in my header. I followed the directions for wrapping it in the div tag, but it doesn't seem to be working out for me. The address is http://www.homiciderocker.com/zencart/. I am not using ImageHandler.

Thanks!!

Hi I have recently installed the latest version of lightbox especially as it is great for multiple images viewing.

Unfortunately I am having a similar problem to a previous poster which is as yet unanswered.. my extra images load automatically and use the lightbox effect, but the original product photo still opens in a popup box..I have cleared my cache, etc to load the proper page but still have not resolved the problem....

It is possibly something basic, but the problem can be seen on this page http://boondocksclothing.co.nz/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=2&zenid=0cb2367f390224bc79814d0089a7a674

Any ideas. Thanks

I have experienced problem with the lightbox, here is the situation:
http://imgfeed.com/images/6l3fnvqfq8gvtt4i3ppo.jpg

How to block the navigation bar from included in lightbox?

taydu:

#prevLink,#nextLink {
background:transparent url(../../template_default/images/lightbox/blank.gif) no-repeat;
display:block;
height:100%;
width:63px;
position:absolute;
top:-25px;
}

> 
> seem to work but there a tiny problem, please look at attached image ...
> 
> How can I make so i have a complete white box, not just the two rabbit ears

I have implemented the change proposed by Taydu. It works fine except that :

1/ the "rabbit ears" effect described by Taydu occurs (to the best of my knowledge, this post of Taydu was never answered to)

2/ on all the pictures appear the PREV and NEXT buttons (without this mod, on the first picture only NEXT appears, and on the last one only PREV appears).

As the code of the stylesheet_lightbox.css has changed since Taydu's post, I insert hereunder the modification I have performed :

#prevLink, #nextLink{
	/* bof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-18 */
	width: 63px;
	/* eof Zen Lightbox v1.4 aclarke 2007-09-18 */
	height: 32px !important;
	**/* bof : modif based on taydu's post of 22/06/2007 */
	position:absolute;
	top:-25px;
	/* eof : modif based on taydu's post of 22/06/2007 */**	background: transparent url(../images/zen_lightbox/blank.gif) no-repeat; /* Trick IE into showing hover */
	display: block;
	}   

Any idea about what goes wrong?

I figured out my problem. I hope it helps you others. I was just making the mistake of wrapping the menu in a tag that said "div id" and not "div class". Once I changed it to "div class", I had no problem.

Ha. Silly middle of the night goof on my part.

I've installed Zen lightbox and it's not working. I have read through the posts here, and I've done what was suggested; checked each file, renamed the two specified folders to my active template, (which is cherry_zen.) I ran the SQL patch and that appears to have worked correctly. When I look at the source code on my generated pages I see the jscript for lightbox, but I am still getting a popup window.

I sure would like to make this work. :frusty:

Ideas? Thanks -

Jeff
