Thanks but that link does not show how it displays/integrates
with zencart

Sorry, I don't have any examples as of yet. I have been working on two websites on my free time but they are all on my server. I'm in the 82nd Airborne Division deployed in Afghanistan, it would take forever for me to upload my websites given the limited resources and time we have here for this.

I'm scheduled to return to the states soon, Once I upload the sites I'll update this post and let you know. Meanwhile, the link that "Scrat" posted at least can give you an idea of the end result of this contribution.

When you do get up and running, you might want to move the support to the Community Contributed Add-Ons forum.

First time I hear about that. Good idea. How exactly do I do that?

Thanks

You could PM one of the devs and ask to have this thread moved, or just start a new one there when appropriate.

No problem...fingers/toes crossed for your safe return

Just happened to be looking at your mod today and saw your post. I would like to say thank you for your service to your country. My hat is off to you.

I pray that you have a safe return.

Hello everyone,
HELP! I tried installing this mod and got some errors so I decided to not install it while the site is active. There is some strange behavior that is happening. When I have additional images and one is clicked on, the browser opens up a new page and shows the image. I don't think it has done this before and I believe it to be something to do with the greybox mod. When I right click on the additional image it shows: relationship gb_imageset[mygallery]

I need help with this one. I have tried to put things back to where they were before I installed but I'm still having this issue.

THANKS for any help..

Alarm is now over. I finally found the "stray" file that was causing the unwanted behavior. Thanks to anyone who looked and thought about helping (smile)

Hi Misty,

You were looking for a demo site? Well, I just installed the mod and you can look at my site to see how it works. I really like it and I think it will be a popular mod.

Nice Mod!

You are most welcome!

Hi

I'm really glad you like it. Can you tell me exactly what problems you ran into and how to solve it?

If there is something that needs to be fix I would like to address it so that others don't run into the same problem.

thanks

Hi Bigjoe,

Actually the problems I ran into were "pilot error". I was moving the files from the zip file to my host manually. I was afraid of overwriting files. I also made my own decisions about where to put the files. Some I thought should go in "my_template/" so I put them there.

So what all of this amounts to is: I did not follow the directions. I do wonder, however, if some of the files that you put in "template_default" should go into the "my_template" directory.

No matter what, I can say that this is a great mod and would recommend it to anyone. I imagine you will have a lot of people using it! I love it!

Hi everybody,

I just uploaded another Greybox contribution. "GreyBox 2 for links manager", it adds the same Greybox effect to outside links from your links manager 3.3 contribution.

Hope you like it.

Re the /template_default/ question:

You should absolutely not put customized files under /template_default/. Make up the package with a /your_template/ folder in that position, and give instructions to the user to change "your_template" to the name of their custom template folder before uploading. This will save the average user from making a big mistake.

But aside from that, the greybox does look very nice.

You know, you are absolutely right. I will update the contribution as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks
