HoverBox 3 - Official Thread

Hi

I'm having an issue or two with HoverBox 3.

I love the effect, and it works no problem for the first image of my product. It does not however work for my extra images. They simply open in a new frame as if hoverbox was disabled.

This is the site: https://www.johnthomascarsales.co.uk

Also, there is no close button on the images opened in hover box...is there any reason for this?

I'm trying to work through things myself and will post back if I find a solution, but in the meantime I'd be grateful for any expert help!!

Thanks

i have the swfobject and hoverbox issue aswell. swfobject won't work with hoverbox, or lightbox for that matter. something about the order it loads in. can anyone provide a fix for swfobject?

I haven't found the solution for swfobject issue, so meanwhile I replace swfobject with AC_RunActiveContent, it makes my code looks bad but at least it works well with others so far.

PS: I even tried swfobject 2.1 and also didn't work.

I just came across this MOD today, and have already installed on our website. It looks clean, fresh, and very professional. Thank you very much for a great MOD!

Oh I've found a temporary solution. I put the flash into an iframe, to force it to load after hoverboxes javascript. It worked! Unfortunately though, it puts the flash at the top level, so hoverbox ends up behind the flash. In IE it's ok because I changed the css so it never opens high enough to go underneath my flash (which is a header/banner), but in Firefox because the hoverbox images scrolls with the page, you can scroll up and it goes behind my Flash header. Is there anyway way to make the image not scroll with the window?

Still, it's better than having an ugly popup window.

Hello I am having an issue with hoverbox and hopefully it is something very easy to fix. In zen cart i have a category view with pic1. When that product is clicked it takes you to the product info page with has another picture which we will call pic2. Now what i want to happen is when i click the "larger Image" link hover box opens but shows pic1 large but this isnt what i want. I would like to have hoverbox make pic2 and only pic2 large. Is this possible. I have already added the filename with the _LRG.jpg in the image/large/ directory however it isnt working. This is much easier to understand if you go to the site and check it out.

Hi,

I think the mouse-over feature is from ImageHandler2 and not Hoverbox.

The mouseover feature, yes, is part of Image Handler's functions.

You'll need to adjust your image settings. These can be found under Configuration::Images in the administration area of your Zen Cart.

The size of your hover image is dependent upon the following settings:

Product Info Width
Product Info Height

Hello

I have a problem with HoverBox 3 and IH2.

Installed both mods (first IH and second HB3) and everything work's ok except the watermark feature.

If I install only the IH2 all large pictures of a product are watermarked.
If I install both IH2 and HoverBox 3 only the main picture of a product is watermarked and the rest of additional pictures are not.

Could someone explain me please how I can fix this problem ?

Also other questions ...

• How can I activate the SlideShow feature on HoverBox 3
• Where can I hind the .psd files for buttons ?
• I want to make the prev and next buttons bigger. Is there an option to make this buttons to be always visible over the picture?

I have installed hoverbox3 and IH2 successfully, however when i use a javascript clock on the site (in the common header) product pages do not always display, it says:

internet explorer cannot open the internet site 'blah blah' ,
operation aborted

My question is, is this still a problem with hoverbox as with lightbox where it does not work with other javascript present? or is it an issue with my server? is this a fault with my header? is there a work around?

the main page of zen-cart always loads, it just seems to be the product page, when hoverbox is loaded. These will load if you hit refresh or open in a new tab usually but not always, timing issue?

i will keep hoverbox rather than the clock but i would like to keep both so it matches my main e107 site.

thanks in advance

• Is there a way to active the auto sideshow feature ?

• How can I make to work the watermark feature over the additional images ?

• How can I configure the module to make the additional images smaller than the default products image ? ( additional images to be small and not medium ).

Thank you!:bigups:

I am trying to figure out how to get hoverbox to display the _MED files when clicked on in the product info page. I have a normal size image on the category menu then on the product info page i have a _MED file which i want to make larger with hoverbox 3. For some reason it displays the main product image on the category page. Is there a fix for this?

Does anybody know how to fix theis so i can have my attribute images go through hoverbox as well?

Can anybody tell me how to clean uninstall hoverbox3. I deleted all the files it installed or reverted the one's it's written over to the original (I believe). I also ran the SQL uninstall script.

I originally had IH2 installed, and installed HB3 after. Now IH2's hover function wont work.

UPDATE: Never mind I missed one file.

OK I have figured out that the reason it wasn't displaying the pop up window was because the image was too big. So now I can get it to display a larger image when clicked however is there a way to allow the hoverbox 3 to take over instead of the popup window?

Also I am trying to add additional images to the hoverbox slideshow. So i can get the arrow to the right and click next for additional images? Anyone know how to do this?
