HoverBox 3 - Official Thread

It happened to me as well and I downloaded the winrar trial and it unziped. For some reason after the last windows update my winrar quit working... :blink: Im not going to use untill someone finds a fix for the IE issue though. There is a module called lightbox that is the same thing and its in the downloads section im trying that.

Hey All,

Just a question -

I'm having an issue with HoverBox and IE. I notice that somebody's posted an issue above, but this seems to be different.

Product info page:

Firefox - Works fine.
Chrome - Works fine.
IE8 - Stops loading past the header.
IE7 - Stops loading past the header, I also get an "internet explorer cannot display this page" error message popping up.

If I view the source of the IE pages, all the code is there, right down to the </body>

Not sure what's going on here. Anyone experienced this at all?

Okay, it's got something to do with the Yahoo tree ajax menu I have installed on the site.

Will investigate this more.

Thanks,
Tom :clap:

Right. After some investigation, I have uncovered that yes, the yahootreemenu is the cause of this problem.

I've googled "ie8 error" and "lightbox" and a fair few results are showing. Something about the dom ending and starting in the wrong place.

Hopefully someone will know what I'm on about!!!

Thanks,
Tom

Why didn't you put a download link? :( I noticed I can download it for free from iChoze but the zip files (both 2.2 and version 3) gives an "unexpected end of archive" error msg....kinda weird...tried redownloading but the files are just bad uploads it seems. So hmm...where can I get a proper package of this addon? ;)

Has anyone found a solution to the IE8 not working problems? If not VERY SOON, I will have to un-install and add Zen Lightbox instead. :yuck:

someone uses hoverbox 3 with TPP?

Large additional image not work :(:(.
Slideshow works, but no additional image.

With WHAT browser and O/S?

I have HoverBox3 and TPP on several sites and the large image does not work with IE8 on any O/S.

FF, Chrome, Opera all work just fine.

Ditto. I'd like to try it out, but the download files seem to be corrupt.

With the trouble downloading and the fact that HoverBox 3 does NOT work with IE8 and the lack of support, my opinion is to use http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=117 instead.

Right after Christmas, I am switching ALL my sites away from HB3 to Zen Lightbox.

Here is a solution for HoverBox3 and IE8.
It is not perfect but at last it is working in stupid IE :-)
The problem is the Javascript in the original ic_effects.js
I replaced it with the latest original versions of prototype/scriptaculous

To make it work in IE8 do the following:

Delete
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript/ic_effects.js

Upload:
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript/effects.js
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript/prototype.js
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/jscript/scriptaculous.js

Replace
includes/modules/pages/product_info/jscript_hoverbox.php

Replace this jscript_hoverbox.php also in:
includes/modules/pages/document_general_info
includes/modules/pages/document_product_info
includes/modules/pages/product_free_shipping_info
includes/modules/pages/product_music_info
includes/modules/pages/product_reviews
includes/modules/pages/product_reviews_info
includes/modules/pages/product_reviews_write

I'm only allowed to upload 42 KB attachments here, so the needed files can be downloaded here:
http://www.webchills.at/zen/hoverbox3_ie8fix_beta.zip

There is still a warning in IE8:
Invalid argument in prototype.js in line 4474
The problematic lines are:

Event.extend(event, element);
        handler.call(element, event);

If anyone has a solution for this, please post it here.

Please let me know if it's working for you.

Similar response here with the IE error and the corners are gone.

Can somebody upload the original hoverbox files onto something like rapidshare for me. The download also says "unexpected end of archive".

As far as I know IE8 does not support the round corners at all.
