Zen Lightbox addon [Support Thread]

OK Lighbox is installed and working but

When I go to Confuguration I have 2 Zen Lightbox selections to click on. Doesnt matter which one I click there arent any options in the configuration panel for images etc.

Any ideas?

Hi

I have installed all files but on 2 installations of zen cart that i am running i cant get the SQL script to run without error... this is what i get:

1146 Table 'abidan_cars.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.

Why wont it work, it looks like the table exists to me?

it doesnt like this liine:
SELECT @cgi := configuration_group_id FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title = 'Zen Lightbox';

i removed that line from the script and all seems to be working? will that do any harm?

grandpa_shea:

Hi
I install but I not het nothing in - configuration Zen Lightbox The module is aunty only the name

Please is possible any here post the correct SQL script

Thanks

Hello Alex I'm a big fans of ZenLighbox. I tried 4 to 5 other lightbox addon and finally keep using ZenBox. Just because, I like the fonts design of yours! :laugh:

However, when I upgrade from v1.4 to 1.5. I found a fatal problem! It seems caused by the new JS... I won't say it is a bug because actually it is a SMART improvement. The new JS will always keep the box centered on the browser. if I open an image by the lightbox, then resize the browser window, you may see the box jump to center. It really smart!

However, this cause a big problem on some kinds of "small screen" machine. Such as a 14" 800x600 monitor, or iphone.
For example, I have a picture it's a size chart, 1024x768 big. If I browse it on a 800x600 monitor, I just see the left part of the chart. If I want to see the most right, I have the scroll to right. But the v1.5 JS is too smart to keep the chart ALWAYS centered the browser. Means I have no way to see the whole chart! :(

If I browse the same chart on an iphone. I must enlarge the whole browse window to make the chart big enough to view. But the same problem, I just can always focus the middle part of the chart.

v1.4 and other lightbox I tested have no this problem. (they are not smart then v1.5) :P
Will you consider make a solution on the coming v1.6?

(I doubt that here is no one noted this problem. Or just me have a small screen machine??)

I had this installed and everything was fine. Now if I click on an image to show the lightbox the next, prev and close buttons do not display. Firefox shows nothing an IE shows 1 image holder X. Nothings changed and was working for months.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I am getting the same sql error as Abidan,

I removed the line, and it does install into admin, but the configuration is empty.

The images now open in a blank white page, then you have to press back to get back to the site.

I have tried with and without image handler.

If you have zen lightbox under configuration but nothing there you
will have to go to your database.
Log on to your sever database phpMyAdmin after that pick your database name, click on the link to the left configuration_group. Check the box configuration_group_title click browse and find Zen Lightbox and delete it. You will have to delete everything that deals with zen lightbox. Go to phpMyAdmin, click on configuration on your left then Check the box on configuration_title click browse and look for everything that deals with Zen Lightbox and delete it. Copy and past the SQL in your store admin you should be good to go.
As always backup, backup, backup. I have use this lightbox for a long time. I had to do what I am telling you the first time I installed it. I went to another lightbox now.

Hi. I am having problems with my lightbox not working within Opera. No problems in FF or IE. I have a new shop. ZenCart 1.3.8a
Cherry Zen Template. Zen Lightbox v1.5. Any suggestions what is keeping this from working in Opera? Below is a link to a product with multiple images.

hi I encounter problem during "fresh" installation of ZenLightbox

Success 4 statements processed.
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Warning Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

any suggestion plz!

I upgraded to 1.5 and everything was fine except for a minor issue I am currently experiencing.

SCENARIO 1: If Gallery Mode and Include Main Image in Gallery are both set to true zen light works fine except that the main image is included as an additional image. This means if you have one image (main product image) when you enlarge, you actually get 2 copies of the same image being displayed as 1 of 1 and 1 of 2. This I think should be expected based on the configuration setting.

SCENARIO 2: If Gallery Mode is set to true and Include Main Image in Gallery is set to false zen light doesn't work right. When you click on large image the main image is enlarged but none of the additional images are displayed and the next and previous buttons are gone. This to me appears to be a bug.

SCENARIO 3: If Gallery Mode and Include Main Image in Gallery are both set to false zen light does work either. It displays the main image on clicking large image but none of the additional images are displayed.

I don't mind the configuration setting in 1 except that it's not user friendly displaying duplicate image. It's also not user friendly to display the same image twice when only one image is present.

It looks like this code may have something to do with it:

<?php
if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_STATUS == 'true') {
  if (ZEN_LIGHTBOX_GALLERY_MODE == 'true' && ZEN_LIGHTBOX_GALLERY_MAIN_IMAGE == 'true') {
    $rel = 'lightbox-g';
  } else {
    $rel = 'lightbox';
  }
?>

Any help is appreciated.

Bottom line is i am back on Lightbox 1.4 which was so easy to install.
and its working perfectly , you can check yourself !!!

When you tried installing it many times, did you remove every file that was installed by both the previous version and code from the files along with the tables in the database?

It did not come with an uninstaller so everything had to be removed manually.

Then if you installed the new one and it still did not work right did you run the uninstaller before attempting it again?

Hi,

I just recently installed zen lightbox. Everything seems to work fine with the exception of the prev, next, and close images in FF3. If I hover over the areas i get the alt text and a clickable area but no image. If I open the page in IE 7 all images show fine. I looked around a saw some other people had the same issue but I could not seem to track down an answer.

TIA

Hi Alex,

I just upgraded Zen Lightbox from 1.4 to v1.5

At first it showed up the following error (as faced by other users too):

1146 Table 'starruby_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.

I then ran the uninstall sql code twice and then inserted the modified installation code that you have posted in this thread:

The light box runs well now but the problem I am facing is that the "Next" button and "Image 1 of 3" are not being displayed. Also, the full product name is not displayed on the bottom left hand side of the large image.

Ok... Got it to work. I had the zen lightbox v1.4 code in the includes/templates/apple_zen/tpl_modules_main_product_image.php file. Changed it to the v1.5 code.

Thanks,

Did you change the name of the folders called YOUR_TEMPLATE to the name of your actual template? i.e. classic
