Interesting. You promote this on your site as being free, yet insist that people pay a donation before before they can download it.

Also, how is this different from the lightbox module that is freely available from the downloads area of this support site?

That's wierd? What area's conflicting with your click?

Didn't know there was one like lightbox ... This one has admin options where you can enable/disable the whole thing, or certain elements of the HoverBox. And the donation was supposed to be an option, I'll get that changed.

The part where I cannot get to the image that pops with my mouse to click on it ...

Either it is way far away or keeps moving beyond my mouse so I couldn't click on it if I tried ...

I believe that would be a basic function of Image Handler, try going into the product.

Re: New Product Images Add-on - HoverBox / Lightbox

I agree that this is an issue with there being an implied link in the specific image used to advertise the product rather than a fault with the add-on itself, which appears to work OK. And yes, Admin control would move it a step beyond the Zen Lightbox add-on.

Like I said I wasn't aware there was a similar contribution so it was written from scratch ... would you guys mind testing it out?

I do plan on adding some other features. However, I wanted to get it out, get some feedback on it.

Re: New Product Images Add-on - HoverBox / Lightbox

Sure. BTW. Now that it is an option ... I actually tried to download through the donations route (I'm contrary like that), but although I go taken out to paypal, from the checkout page, I got brought back to the payment page and started looping. Are you sure you have your paypal return page set up properly?

Ok, can you try again? See if you get the loop?

Re: New Product Images Add-on - HoverBox / Lightbox

I also have the cart skipping the payment selection page if the cart order total is equal to zero but that shouldn't be causing a loop.

Re: New Product Images Add-on - HoverBox / Lightbox

You're gonna want to rework your installation instructions. That combination of apostrophes in the last three SQL statements just isn't gonna work. Other than that it seems to work fine with a few more options than the Zen Lightbox.

My only other comment would be that it would have been better to put the jscript files in the pages/product_info folder where they belong. They'd have been safe there as they're not over-riding anything and so aren't likely to get over-written. By putting them in the templates folder it's likely that this add-on will break when the Dev team put in proper over-rides for the pages folders in some future release of Zen Cart.

Should be like this huh, '' ?

I'll correct the structure ...

The loop doesn't occur when the order total equals zero, but when it's non-zero.

Just tried again and I go past payment, to confirmation, from confirmation to paypal and from paypal back to payment.

Then tried again and this time got brought back to confirmation which just hung for several minutes.

Re: New Product Images Add-on - HoverBox / Lightbox

I can't even get the iChoze page to work in Firefox 3 at all. It works fine in IE/Maxthon, but I won't be considering any modules from a site that won't even load in my browser.

Sorry.
