Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

Alex Clarke:

First I recommend restoring the backup.

If that doesn't sort the problem you could try setting all Zen Lightbox file permissions to 755.

Let me know how you get on... and goodluck! :smile:

Alex, I had to finally uninstall LM and now LB is working fine again.

Alex Clarke:

You can easily get Zen Lightbox to work on the category page.

First of all, you'll need to link that image of the bowl to the large version.

Then, copy the jscript_zen_lightbox.php file that's in the root of the v1.5 release to includes/modules/pages/index/.

That should be it. :smile:

Thanks Alex :D That worked as advertised!

I am using zen 1.3.8a.

Copied all files as told on the server.

But when I run the Install.sql, I get this error:
1146 Table 'pianoin_zc1.configuration_group' doesn't exist
in:
[SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

nice job...I have a little issue. I have installed this addon and most products have jus one image.
When I click on that image it show the wonderful lightbox. But then I see a button nex and previous. When i click on them the same image will be loaded. Strange, because for the product I have only one image.

What goes wrong?

Alex Clarke:

As promised, I've looked into the installation issues with the SQL code where database tables contained prefixes.

This issue has now been resolved and the new installation SQL code can be found below.

Please note, this code is to be used with Zen Lightbox v1.5 only.

i just installed zen lightbox 1.5 but it does not work.

Hello, i have problems installing this.
I uploaded the "includes" folder (after changing the subfolders with my template name).
Then i went to "tools-install sql patches" in admin panel of zencart and copied in the big box the text of the file slimbox_install.sql and i get this error:

i aldo tried the code for version 1.5 of a message here up but it doesnt work anyway..

Do i have to do something else or what i do wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I also had this error after pasting the content of the sql file in the big box:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin/sqlpatch.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.41 Server at footballmaniax.com Port 80

does anyone know why my light box has two of the same images??

thanks

I am having trouble with my installed lightbox ... i seem to have everything in my admin ... and I can see it when i hover over CONFIGURATION in my admin panel ... but I'm not sure that the sql install went ok, and I'm wondering if there is something else I need to do to get my lightbox working ... there were no errors.

There seems to be two selections in the configuration menu for zen lightbox as well, the second of which showed up when I installed the sql ... not sure what went wrong ... anyone know what the problem might be?

Same problem here.
I see it in the configuration menu. But it doesnt work.
Please look my post above. :dontgetit

Hi Folks,

Wondering if I can offset Zen Lightbox to display the FIRST additional image, instead of the original image first, then the additional.

Main Product Display shows 'example.jpg'

I want zen lightbox to display in this order:

'example_01.jpg'
'example_02.jpg'
'example.jpg'

Thanks

I need help with slimbox installation. I use 1.3.8 Zen Cart Basic version. I downloaded fual_slimbox_lightbox_v0-1-5. Unpacked the zip file to the zencart root directory. In the slimbox file I renamed
includes/modules/MY-TEMPLATE-FOLDER
includes/templates/MY-TEMPLATE-FOLDER
(just two, right?)
Next, I am supposed to copy the "includes" directory to my Zen Cart root directory.

But I already have includes directory. It has many more files then the new one! By overriding that directory all these other files will be gone! I am confused on this step. WOuld anybody can explaine me, pleaase....:lamo:

Doesnt seem to work for me.

ZC 1.3.8

Lightbox 1.5

Renamed the following to match my Template:
includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER
includes\modules\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER
includes\templates\YOUR-TEMPLATE-FOLDER

Ran SQL command
No error, 4 proesssed message above
LightBox is under my Config / Zen LightBox in ZC

However, when I can on any of my images, it opens in the "normal" ZC popup box.

Did you run the sql more than once? If so, and I'm not an expert here, but I think you need to run the uninstall.sql (maybe twice) then install.sql.

I found the problem is in the SELECT query. It doesn't use the correct name for the 'configuration_group' and hence does not return the value to @cgi that is needed in the following INSERT INTO query.

What I did (yesterday):
Ran the first 2 statements one at atime using copy & paste in the Tools >> Install SQL Patches screen.
Then open 'configuration_group' table in your database to look for the value in 'configuration_group_id' against the 'Zen Lightbox' configuration_group_title. In my case the value was 34.
Copy the second INSERT INTO query to Notepad or other text editor and replace all '@CGI' with the value from configuration_group_id (in my case 34).
Copy/paste the modified query to Tools >> Install SQL Patches screen and run.

It worked for me so I hope works for you.

NOTE: you may need to run uninstall.sql to start from scratch with the install.sql.
