Cirius got you fixed bro.

I am having the same problem, the hovering is not working. If something could check out my site: https://www.vosupholstery.com/zencart that would be awesome.

thanks - dan

The hover pop-up, when scrolling over product images is part of Image Handler, if you install Image Handler after installing HoverBox ...

Make SURE ...

You replace the additional_images.php file with the one HoverBox supplies after installing Image Handler.

i can't seem to get the hover to work:

Hi,

I recently found out a potential problem with the use of hoverbox3. See this thread for more information. I have turned off hoverbox3 for now. Please let me know if the problem is related to hoverbox3 and how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

Found a problem with HoverBox3. In Firefox, it works very well. In IE7, it looks funny. See attached pictures.

There are 2 display differences between Firefox and IE7. When someone clicks on larger image, the window that pops up is not centered and the background does not cover the whole page.

Is this a stupid IE7 "feature"? God... I hate IE7, it's always so problematic. How do I fix this? Thanks.

Hello,

I have already installed Fual Slimbox.

Am I able to install Hoverbox aswell?

Kind regards,
Anthony

No they're not compatible.

One runs on the MooTools library, the other, HoverBox is based on the Prototype framework.

Personally, I'd think you'd like HoverBox better - and to use you'll need to remove all files added for slimbox.

Looks like you've found an overlay bug, can you send me a link to the page where this is happening.

The overlays is controlled by the JS, which I'll need to fix, repack, and send you for testing.

IE sux! In everyway possible.

Can you please kindly comment on the difference between this and Zen Lightbox mod. We are currently using the lightbox mod on our site, you can check out our site in my signature. We are however contemplating switching to this and wondering what are the +/- of the two mods.

Thanks!

Lightbox is based on an old library of Prototype.
HoverBox is currently based on the most recent version of Prototype, taking advantage of advanced features available, better logic.

HoverBox provides complete customization options via the Administration area of the cart. You've got the option to decide what you want in the display, background colors, etc...

Ability to provide smart image resizing using browser dependent capabilities to keep the "entire" image within view. Lightbox doesn't do this.

Next release will include additional features, and upcoming Advanced release will plugin to entire Zen structure allowing for use of HoverBox outside just images. You'll be able to use for any content.

Thanks for the prompt response, will be upgrading to HoverBox 3 tomorrow.

Make sure to remove all the files you installed for LightBox ... the two frameworks will conflict and can't co-exist together, even though they're the same framework.

Please let us know if you have any problems.

One thing I forgot to mention, you gain a slideshow capability as well.

I tried to download the mod from your site, and get this:

2013 Lost connection to MySQL server during query
in:
[select customers_email_format from TM_customers where customers_email_address= '[email protected]']

2006 MySQL server has gone away

I've tried several times. Why don't you put this mod in the download section of Zen?

Did you run the included SQL file on your database via the SQL Patch Tool provided by Zen Cart?

Try again is all I can say, the site is currently hosted on a GD development account ... and as you probably know Zen and GD don't really like each other.  Sorry.

Hi there,

I created a ZenMagick plugin for Hover Box3. It turned out to be easier to include the complete HB3 code into the plugin, rather than having to install HB3 and then the plugin. That means the plugin is based on the current rc2 of Hover Box3.

The plugin version also includes a couple small improvements:

• A HB3 image link can be created with a single line function call anywhere in your templates

• Images are grouped by product id, so it is possible to have multiple slideshows per page

• SQL install/uninstall is handled by the ZenMagick plugin framework, so it's just upload, install/enable plugin via the Plugin Manager and done!

• All required javaScript/CSS is added to the page dynamically, so no layout changes required.

It may take a few days to make this available for official download,
so if you are desperate to get it, PM or drop me an email

Cheers,
DerManoMann

Right, building the release was going better than I though, so here is verion 0.1. of zm-hoverbox3,
a ZenMagick plugin to install and use Hover Box3 in your ZenMagick theme.

Cheers, mano
