Fual Slimbox (Lightbox) - Ver 1.0 Support

ok, did some quick tests. Made a test , clean install of ZC without EZ thumbnails, installed IH2 and then made a dumb install of SlimBox (simply overwriting the files). All seems to work just fine - slimbox scrolls to next image, they display correctly, IH2 works properly as well.
So at least I have answer to one of my questions :D .
I'm tempted to try removing EZ Thumbnails and SlimBox from my regular store, installiing IH2, then reinstalling SLimBox.

Did as I've said above and all work great! :clap:

Ok, so basically that left me with only one question - howto setup slimbox so clicking on a large image in a slimbox window would close this window?

Hi, i have just installed this to my Zen Cart 1.3.9h works perfectly in Firefox & IE but in Google Chrome it tries to open the Lightbox than it freezes & stays a white rectangle box.

Has anybody else had this problem & anybody know how this can be sorted?

Thanks :bigups:

I have now tried uninstalling & have now reinstalled the mod but the lightbox dont seem to display correctly as in picture attached.

Wondering if anybody know what the problem is & how it can be sorted out.

Thanks

Has anyone successfully installed IH3 and merged the files required to make Fual Slimbox work correctly with Zen Cart v1.3.9h?

I have upgraded to IH3 and it is working great! But when I click on an image it now opens in a new window instead of nicely zooming on the page as Fual Slimbox should work.

In the read me files included with IH3 it says:

Fual Slimbox -Look for changes marked with the text "Image Handler changes" from the additional_images.php file that comes with Image Handler3. These modifications should be merged into the additional_images.php file that comes with Fual Slimbox.
(You will need to use a file merging program like Beyond Compare or Winmerge to incorporate the Image Handler3 changes)

I dont know how to use Winmerge. I have tried to use it but it seems way over my head. I dont seem to understand how to merge the files. Can anyone help out? Or post a link to their merged file to share?

I did it! I used Beyond Compare and let it merge the file from Fual Slimbox (left side) & From Image Handler3 (right side)for me but it didnt work. So I went back and looked at the individual conflict lines and changed one line at around 82-84 (respectively) that read:

$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;

and switched it to this line:

$products_image_large = str_replace(DIR_WS_IMAGES, DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'large/', $products_image_directory) . str_replace($products_image_extension, '', $file) . IMAGE_SUFFIX_LARGE . $products_image_extension;

Saved the new file as additional_images.php and now its working again like it used to!

Located here:

/public_html/includes/modules/your template

Woo hoo my first file merge!

We tried to make it easy.. Like the IH3 instructions say, if you move just the items marked as Image Handler changes to the Fual Slimbox file, then it will all work fine..

I just wanted to share what to do if you go to Configuration and Fual Slimbox and Zen Cart shows a blank page in the admin.

Log into your PHP admin from your web host (mine says Manage Using phpMyAdmin) and run the install script there. Then, when you refresh your Zen Cart admin, the page should show the configuration options for Fual Slimbox and it should work.

I hope this helps someone!

Hey guys,

Sorry to revive such an old thread.

I have installed Image Handler 2 and it works fine. I then installed Fual Slimbox for Zencart. It works too now but the next and prev labels just don't appear, I wish it would show all the images on my product page.
I think there might be a problem with how my pictures are named and how it is organized in the folders.

I installed the Sql query and Fual slimbox shows in my admin too.

I am on Zencart 1.3.7 and I used an unorthodox method as I don't use the override system.

My website is http://www.recycledbyhyena.com/

In advance thank you for the help!!

Can slimbox be used to "light-box" whole divs.

for anyone who is not a developer, but wants to use different language on this tool, i'll write this down here, so it may help anyone who come accross this.
In my tests, i had no issues with browser cache, the new keys worked on the first load of a new instance of slimbox.

Cheers,
Jeroen

I'm trying this add on on a fresh installation (1.39h) with utf-8 encoding and the pop up window with the image name has non recognizable characters (the filename is in Greek in my case). I browsed the source code and I didn't saw anything regarding encoding besides the css file in includes/templates folder. Is there
some thing I've missed ?

Thanks in advance

We've used Fual Slimbox on most all of our sites for some time and wanted to make sure that we could use it as we transitioned to Zen Cart 1.5.0.
Therefore, we reworked the files and the sql install file to make Fual Slimbox compatible with PHP 5.3 and Zen Cart's new admin page registration.

Fual Slimbox Version 2.0 has be uploaded to the Free Software Add Ons section and should be available in a few days. It can be used with versions of Zen Cart earlier than 1.5.0 but you would have to modify the install.sql file.

A new support thread will be started for Fual Slimbox V2.0 and questions should be addressed there.

If you require the upgraded files before the add-on is released, PM me and I will get it to you.

It was noticed because without this particular update it causes incompatibility problems for Ceon URI (and possibly other mods).

There is a brief discussion on change needed in the Ceon URI support thread which outlines the issue.. (it's late.. I'm tired, and going to bed otherwise I'd post the specific thread for you..:laugh:)

Thought you might want to know this just in case your updates did not include this change..

Well, you managed to keep me up looking.:P

Shoot I'm sorry..:blush: I was SOOOOOOOO sleepy when I wrote that last night..:laugh::laugh: I just remember thinking I HAD to tell this to you before I fell asleep and forgot..:laugh::laugh:

If you didn't find it, the last 2-3 pages of the support thread the Fual Slimbox issue got brought up again, and the post where it was originally "discovered" was quote along with Conor's down and dirty summary of what need to be fixed in the Fual Slimbox code..
