i got this from the install.txt file

SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4 
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Zen Lightbox';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;

my sql patcher in the admin section is a bit wiered on my local webserver so i manually added my prefix 'zen_' and ran the code below in phpmyadmin ( with the shop database selected).

SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4 
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Zen Lightbox';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;

This does appear to remove lightbox. can someone confirm this is correct before i use it on my live site.

thanks

followed the installation instructions and have lightbox installed. it is not functioning in my cart. The preview is coming up as normal... i cleared cache...

newbie needs some help

my lightbox also not come up.

my lightbox version is 1.4 update , zen cart is v. 1.38a

Rename the following folders to match your template folder name.
includes\modules\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER
includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER

my zen cart is fresh install, then how can i know the actual template name i am using?

** i also installed image-handler 2, is it any conflick problem?***

please help

thank

This is a fantastic mod! Hats off to you!

I've got it working beautifully, and discovered one other thing that applied to my situation. It may have already been discussed in this thread, but just in case, anyone needs to know in the future...

For those who might have installed additional mods, to create new categories, such as the Products - Books modification... in order to get Lightbox to work with those category types... simply copy one of the "jscript_zen_lightbox.php" files into includes/modules/pages/product_custom.

In my case, this was includes/modules/pages/product_book_info

To the creator of the Lightbox mod... thank you so much, for your classy, sassy contribution. I was just thinking earlier that I would love to have a lightbox display, but figured it would take me forever to figure out how to pull it off myself! :clap:

Hey is there a jquery proof lightbox for zencart ??

wow love this, tried installing greybox first and it screwed things up. installed lightbox over and it`s working great.

I do have one problem though, youll notice that there is no Xto close out the image, you can click the right bottom corner and it will close, but there isnt anything there to say that.

Check your includes/template/red_passion/images/zen_lightbox folder. The image files should be there. If they are not or corrupt, upload them again.

Zen-Cart 1.3.8a Fresh Install
PHP 5

Cherry Zen 1.7
IH2 - Latest Version
http://www.bulklights.com/NATIVITYDISPLAYS/

This site in dev is in a sub-directory now, but will assume the domain name nativitydisplays.com as soon as I get these issues resolved and data populated.

I have installed version 1.3 on several 1.3.7 Carts with IH2 without a single problem. All files are uploaded and in their CORRECT folders (twice) including the template specific folders. I compared the page source on my product page to other working sites and see little if no difference in header and script info.

When I click on "Larger Image" I get the image view just like 1.3 when you don't wait long enough for the js to load.

Could someone take a look and see if they see any anomalies?
THANKS

Unlike many other posters Lightbox worked perfectly first time! IH2 with Lightbox even worked well after a couple of hours of effort. Both mods are great and much credit to the developers for such valuable contributions.

I've seen one thread that asked the following question or something similar but now can't find it again. I know its possible because I've seen it on some active Zen sites... I'd like to be able to remove additional product images from my product listing page but still have them display in Lightbox as image 2, 3, 4 etc. I've tried switching multiple images off but that kills them in Lightbox too. Same problem with editing out the alternate images bit of tpl_product_info_display.php.

What am I missing?

Excellent contrib, thank you!

I have both IH2 and ZLB 1.4 installed and working on Zen 1.3.8a!

Two observations:

One was brought up by Stuff4Toys regarding the js load delay issue causing larger images to open in a new window as opposed to the lightbox. I read that the Fual Slimbox contrib has addressed this issue. Any chance addressing it on ZLB?

Two, I noticed that quote marks in the product description are not escaped in the display of the lightbox so that the text is truncated after a quote mark!

What files should I look into to correct this?

Thanks!

I believe that is taken care of with 1.4, I read something about "pre-loading" that portion of the .js

Thanks!I have not noticed with 1.4 yet, I know that was an issue with 1.3, I thought that was fixed too, maybe not.

I was loading a version of mootools for a slideshow program that wasn't working either. When I took out the preload of mootools - Lightbox started working all by itself,

Found my own answer - eventually.

Add to stylesheet:

#productAdditionalImages {
display: none;
}

Kills the image display on the main page but leaves it available fo Lightbox.

Am hoping someone might have some insight or suggestion - I have just installed the latest lightbox into 1.3.8a Zen cart (offline installtion). It works just fine for the larger images. What is not working is that there does not seem to be any Admin interface for Lightbox.

going to Admin > Configuration results in no "Zen Lightbox" menu item. I even checked the rest of the menu and it's not anywhere i can see.

Looking back at my database SQL patch, the results were:
9 statements processed. (and no errors noted)

However, when i check the database's configuration table, there are only 7 new rows added.

If i'm reading the sql patch file correctly, there should have been 9 new rows installed, right?

using the "sort_order" column to distinguish the new rows, it can be seen that 1,2,3,4,5,6, & 7 were insterted but not the last two.

I assume this is why my lightbox Admin is not visible? if so, how do i fix and why did the patch file not insert the last two rows? (I ran the patch file a second time - with the same results)

Thanks in advance for any assitance.

Never Mind - Working now just fine - the last two rows WERE added to the database - my viewer had not sorted them and I missed them when examining the resultset. Also, i had forgotten i needed to enable the permissions under Third- Party Mods for Zen Lightbox under Admin profiles in order to access the Admin for it. (sheepish grin goes here) All works fine now.

I really enjoy the image presentation using this contrib. Thank you!

I was hoping someone could tell me if I could us Zen Lightbox to pull-in other content (pages) such as the Shipping Estimator or something simple like the shopping cart Help page?

May be through an iframe? Any code or resource references would be helpful!

Thanks

Hello everyone,

First of all I'm a big fan of lightbox since the day I first laid my eyes on it.

I always make sure to implement it on my clients websites.

Anyways I was trying to implement this mod on one of my clients website and its a customization + zen cart.

After going through the instructions for installing this module, I thought well this seems very straight forward which I think all of you agree with.

Unfortunately, I'm that 1% who's not able to get it running right out of the box.

Now, I think this may be related to my other problem which is no popup windows work on the site that I'm working on. Just the normal popup for viewing larger images or even the shipping estimator doesn't work.

Could someone be kind enough to help me out here ?

Thanks
