Need help with Zen Lightbox

Afternoon!

I was hoping someone could explain how exactly to install the Zen Lightbox to me.

I'm really not sure what to do to get it to work.

Thanks!

What version of the cart?
What version of the module?

Hi,

Im running zen 1.3.8a and the latest version of lightbox - all i can get to show is the main pic for each product - some products have up to 6 images - can someone point me in the right direction for how to get these images to show?

thanks

What is the version?
Which lightbox mod as there are 2 different ones

Hi - its version 1.4 running on zencart 1.3.8a - on its own - no slimbox or anything - would certainly appreciate any advice - thanks

Have you looked at the configure for various settings from the Zen Cart admin > Configuration > Zen Lightbox

I have - that was the first place i looked - not actually much in there - it says:

If true, all product images on the following pages will be displayed within a lightbox:

• document_general_info
• document_product_info
• product_free_shipping_info
• product_info
• product_music_info
• product_reviews
• product_reviews_info
• product_reviews_write

Enable Zen Lightbox?true
Overlay Opacity0.8
Overlay Fade Duration0.2
Enable Resize Animations?true
Resize Speed7
Border Size10
Close on Overlay Click?false
Hide Flash Objects?true
DIV Class to HidezenLightboxHideMe

and thats it - theres nothing else at all

just a thought - do the images need to be in any particular directories with any paritcular prefixes? all my images are simply in the images directory and labeled e.g. fy123.jpg, fy123_a.jpg, fy123_b.jpg etc

Ive now tried installing slimbox - and patched my lightbox. The problem of finding extra pics seems to be solved - it gives the 'next' button but when this is clicked the little image rotates forever and the pic doesnt show up - its happening on both slimbox and zen lightbox but not on all pictures - some of the products it will show the multiple pics no problem - im assuming its something to do with either naming or where they are stored?

In order to get extra images, you must put additional pictures as follows:
For example:
If your images are in folder:
images/articles/some_name.jpg and some_name_1.jpg and some_name_2.jpg...
THEN..
You must put the same images in folder large
images/large/articles/some_name_1_LRG.jpg and some_name_2_LRG.jpg ...

I hope, this was helpfull.
