HoverBox 3 - Official Thread

testuser:

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.

I tried and tried to complete the download but every time i click on "Packaging Complete, click here to verify your order", I get the same error. This has NOTHING to do with zen and gd "liking each other" or not. There is a problem on your end with your database.

I ask again, why don't you put this mod in the Zencart Forum Downloads section? Then, this problem can be averted all together.

Would you please comment on exactly what the database sql does. I want to try your software since I really dislike the popup of large image. But I want to be sure exactly what is being adjusted and exactly how to uninstall if I don't like it ... or if I upgrade in future may have to uninstall to upgrade then install anew after upgrade. I was on your website last night and downloaded the file successfully. It was a hassle and the other guy suggesting you add it to the Zen Cart mods area for download is probably a good suggestion ... and you'd have many more people using your hard work.

Please elaborate on the install and uninstall ... what is being done. I'm a newbie at Zen. Only 1week. But really liking it and learning fast.

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.

Hi, this happens to all the product info display pages. Here is an example link. Please let me know when you are ready for testing. Thanks.

You obviously have no clue what your talking about.

CURL Cross talk sucks between GD servers and Zen ...

What's your screen resolution, and do you happen to have a live link?

Yes I have a live link:

testuser:

The folders entitled, "YOUR_TEMPLATE_FOLDER" have contents that should go into your template folder that exists within your current Zen installation.

The structure of the download is in the proper structure for installation into Zen.

The folder of files for installation into zen is "files-for-zen-cart"

Once you've uploaded the files, you'll need to install the SQL.

I have to admit, I have no idea what to do here. I'm new to zencart, and I would love a blow by blow step list in how to install this mod. It looks amazing, and it would be greatly useful for me.

I apologize for being the wet blanket in the room, sooner or later, I'll cop on. Until then, I'll kindly accept the help of people more skilled than I.

All the best!

Hi,
I have a slight problem with HoverBox 3 in that in the file ic_hoverbox_config on line 22
return ((pos/=0.5) < 1 ? 0.5 * Math.pow(pos, 4) :
the "<" is causing a problem in that it causes html to be invalid the return from the validator is

Validation Output: 1 Error

1. Warning Line 42, Column 25: character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data.

     return ((pos/=0.5) < 1 ? 0.5 * Math.pow(pos, 4) :
   

   ✉

   This message may appear in several cases:
   * You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "<"
   * You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&", which is always safe.
   * Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.
   I know this is a small issue butas I am not well up on javascript do not know how to fix.

thanks for a great contribution

Hi, thanks for the mod. I installed Zen Cart and the test data on my site. I then installed HB3. The problem is, the "close" icon does not appear when I click on the "larger image" button to activate HB3. Any assistance you can give would be appreciated.

Here is my test store.

testuser:

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 installed IH2 after HB3, and replaced the additional_images.php file as instructed above, and the zooming feature of IH2 still does not work.

Also, the "close" icon does not appear on any of my zoomed pictures. I am testing everything out on the default data installation of Zen Cart at this link.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
is it possible in any way that there is not the image "larger Image" below the main product image but the old functionallity with the link on the picture and the old text "click to enlarge".
I think the old way is better for multilanguage support.
What changes are required in tpl_modules_main_product_image.php to have the old way but using HB3?

Sorry... looks like I had a duplicate post. The IH2 issue is resolved.

The "close" button issue is still there. I checked the error console and didn't see anything.

my main pic will do the HB3 affect, but my additional images will not. i also cannot get the slideshow, or additonal images to show up in the larger image click. http://www.wfomotoxtreme.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_68&products_id=180. any suggestions? i am running HoverBox3, ImageHandler2, ZenCart v1.3.7, with the It's Christmas 1.1 template. oh yeah, i've cleared the bz cache as well.

Sorry for my numerous posts, but I'm just starting to design my store. I installed IH2 and then HB3 and the hovering is no longer working. So, your post above means that I should have installed IH2 after HB3 and replaced the additional_images.php file with the one HoverBox supplies? So a reinstall of IH2 and the subsequent replacing of the file should do the trick, no? I don't want to reinstall IH unless I have to.

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. This only happens in IE7

Has this issue been solved? Please advise. Thanks.

I am familiar with IH2 and Lightbox. They don't do what I want.

1. I want to have a large image shown when I hover over the image on the Product Info page. It's only for display purposes like an additional image.
2. The large image will be different than the product image. Could have the same/related file name.
3. I want to be able to 'select' which images have a hover image. e.g. only those which have _MED or _LRG images in the proper folders. I don't want it to work on ALL images like IH2.
4. I don't need a fade to dark background like Lightbox. Just have the image 'float' over the product page.

Will Hover 3 do what I need???

I have followed the install instructions, and its not working. I have enabled the HB3 but it's not working. Any Ideas? Site is http://prettyscrappy.com/shop/index.php?main_page=

Please let me know if anyone has any Ideas Thanks in advance

First I would like to Thank you for this great contribution. I downloaded it and works as expected.

Now I want to put the image on the first page, same like the hoverbox downlaod page. I have it exactly the same way the product page. However when I click on LArge image" it jsut gives me a large image and does not Hovers!

What is the html code for it to work?

Please some one help in this! Thanks a lot:D
