Fual Slimbox (Lightbox) - Ver 1.0 Support

After some more head bang'n on installing thia ... I now seem to have the SB module installed and working. One problem though is that the "pop up" image is displaying behind a flash SWF that I have displayed in an Iframe ... haven't gone through the thread in detail yet to see if someone else has run into this and found a work around but hoping that's the case.

Hi hope somebody can help :clap:

I noticed if i scroll down, than click on the image the dimmed background breaks up behind the image is there something i can do to prevent this?

Also the picture looks ok but ony displays border around the picture below & right but no border on the Left and Top, does anybody know how this can be sorted out???

I have a question about the text in the slimbox once clicked for additional images. I was reading and posted on this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118317&page=4 (read post #39) where a fellow zenner got the Slimbox to show additional names within the additonal images.

I realize he had installed the additional image titles, and tried the altered code he has posted but when I clicked on a image, I got a forbidden page instead. I was directed to this thread to ask if anyone would know how I can make this possible using Slimbox.

If anyone has suggestions or knows how to do this, please direct me in the correct area.

Thank you.

I have the SLIMBOX V1.69 installed and was wondering if I can install the Fual Slimbox as an addition?
Do I just copy the zen_lightbox.patch onto my root and do the slimbox_install.sql

Thanks for any help

I have just installed Fual Slimbox today and I LOVE it! Thanks so much for this contribution. :clap:

I have 2 problems which I need help though:

1. I have IH2 installed as well but watermark doesn't appear on any of my images. Is there anything I should do? One of the earlier posts mentioned to clear the bmz_cache which I have but still nothing.

2. The background transits from white->black and back as I scroll up and down the page. Is this a bug?

Thanks!!!

I have the same problems below as well.

Hi

I've installed Fual's Slimbox Mod to my Zencart 1.3.8 and have the following problem:

Main Product image opens but when I click on the "next" link to view the additional products images the lightbox box gets the spinner as if its loading but nothing happens. I have tried both Safari and Firefox and am sure that its not my browsers, i have also tried deleting the large/ from the additional images.php file as somebody had suggested way back in this thread. I think I've read this whole thread at least twice and can't find a solution. I would love if somebody could help me on this as I have only installed two other mods on my site and had no problems with either. For background info, those mods are ez-populate and column layout grid. I did previously try to install zen lightbox but failed miserably several times so I made sure that I uninstalled the SQL completely and deleted all of the files from my site before installing the slimbox.

I am grateful to have found this mod and would really appreciate if the people who know way more than me could give me a hand with it.

Cheers to all!

Actually the same thing is occurring for me as well. The additional images do not work at all (just freeze with the transition image). When I turn off Fual Slimbox they just continue to open the main product image. I've just begun trying to look into the issue, but I don't think I've seen any fixes to the original post that is quoted.

I just fixed this myself by removing a couple things from this line in includes/modules/<Your_Template>/additional_images.php:

$products_image_large = ereg_replace('^' . DIR_WS_IMAGES, DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'large/', $products_image_directory) . ereg_replace($file_extension . '$', '', $file) . IMAGE_SUFFIX_LARGE . $file_extension;

to:

$products_image_large = ereg_replace('^' . DIR_WS_IMAGES, DIR_WS_IMAGES, $products_image_directory) . ereg_replace($file_extension . '$', '', $file) . $file_extension;

Basically I removed the ". 'large/'" and "IMAGE_SUFFIX_LARGE ." from the code. Not sure it's correct, but it modeled the code I had when accessing additional_images prior to the module.

I'm having the same problem with a fresh install of SLB. Appears to be working OK but the image isn't centered. No left or top borders but borders are there on the right and bottom.

Also, the dark translucent background isn't totally behind the image (doesn't completely fill the page behind the image) but comes up half way from the bottom then stops. When I use the browser page scroll bar on the right to center the image in the page the translucent background moves up and covers the entire page or disappears altogether depending on the scrolling direction. It appears the translucent background behind the popup isn't tied to the page but the scrolling of the page vertically.

Know this sounds a bit confusing but a picture is worth a thousand words... my store link with a sample product:

http://www.earnest-enterprises.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29_30&products_id=14627.

Just 'click to enlarge' to see the result.

The drop shadow behind the product image (prior to clicking it to enlarge) has also changed/dropped down and is wider as well with the 'click to enlarge' wording not properly centered/placed.

I'm sure there's an easy fix but just not sure where.

Anyone have this (these) issues? Where can these be adjusted? Have read through the docs and check all the files I could think of.

Thanks!

Good Evening - has anyone experienced a problem with this contribution and the Cherry Zen template?

The product page image and the image background border and text "Larger Image" is extended down vertically.

See Crunch entry #2871 in the Cherry Zen Support Thread

I thought this was a problem solely between Zen Lightbox and Cherry Zen, but I experience exactly the same problem with this contribution using the latest version of Zen running under Xammp

Given the potential for repeat posts, please would the moderators indicate how responses should be handled

Any help or guidance greatfully received

Thank you

Hey guys-
I have Fual Slimbox installed- works great... until- I change the size of the images in the Product Listing. Once I do that, it no longer pops up a larger image when you hover over it. If I change it back to the original size, it works fine again.

How do I change the image size in the Product Listing page, but keep the image hover effect that Fual Slimbox gives?
Thanks!

On the fuel box...when I click on the image, it comes up fine...until you scroll from the top. The black grey background moves out of place, does anyone notice this?

Don't know if i was being clear.....go to https://www.midsouthcoin.com/midsouthcoinstore and click on one of the links on the left with items...then click on an item, then click on the large view....after it opens in the lightbox....scroll down...see how the black background moves? anyone know a fix for this...thanks

About
Slimbox is a next generation Lightbox able to display images and iframes with totally customisible Mootools effects and CSS style. "Lightbox" was the original engine for the now famous effect that has spread like wildfire around the web over the past year or two, becoming the defacto Web 2.0 method of displaying images. However, as with most things, more efficient copies come along.

Motivation
At only 30kb Slimbox is a much smaller download than than Lightbox which weights in at over 100Kb. Since JS tends not to be cached so well by browsers this offers genuine speed increases to users. In addition it is powered by Mootools effects, making it much more customisable than Lightbox. This mod also deals with the slow DOM load issue that caused images clicked to early to be loaded in a new page.

Acknowledgments
Props to: Christophe Beyls (http://www.digitalia.be/software/slimbox) for writing Slimbox, Yukio Arita (http://homepage.mac.com/yukikun/software/slimbox_ex/) for extending it to work with iframes and Alex Clarke for the original ZL plugin which inspired me to write this.

Extra
The mod contains a patch to make it compatible with Zen Lightbox. The patch is non-destructive (in the sense that it doesn't stop Zen Lightbox from working and if you have both this and Zen Lightbox installed and switched on Zen Lightbox overrides Slimbox).

Download

-- I would appreciate it if a few people could try this out to see if it works ok. I have done a fair bit of testing, but maybe I forgot to put a file in the download or something. Since it is new it might be better to wait a week or two for people to try it out before loading it onto your main server; that will give me a chance to iron out any bugs that may show up.

Prior to installing Fual Slimbox, I removed Zen Lightbox, because I could not get it to work. After removing Zen Lightbox, I installed Fual Lightbox.

It appears in my Admin Menu under Configuration. My settings are Enable Fual Slimbox True
Paronia Mode 1
Animate Caption true
Class to Hide ZenLightboxHideMe
The other settings are at the default installation settings.

I had no trouble installing Fual Slimbox or Zen Lightbox, however, after installation , I cannot get it to work with my
images. The default zen cart pop up, main_page=popup_image=180 still comes up.

It seems that I cannot get Fual Lightboxe's javascript to override
the default javascript that produces main_page=popup_image=180 still comes up. Can anyone tell me what it is that Iam not doing correctly, after the install? Both installations went smooth, so there is something that I missed somewhere.

Brand new install of ZC 1.3.8

Fresh install of slimbox 0.1.5

fresh install of Image Handler 2, which seems to be working.

Lightbox isnt displaying at all just another window opens?

I checked the server and all files appear to be in the proper locations and uncompressed.

I have checked config settings and they are same default as other zen cart installs that display the slimbox as expected?

My site is under construction at URL http://www.montereybayimages.com/Catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=65.

I have searched the threads and faqs, but I have not found any solutions. Cn someone help me get this started?
