HoverBox 3 - Official Thread

Some of these problems could be caused by having image handler 2 which is turned off i believe, hoverbox 3, fuel box or something, and zen light box. I really need to figure out how to have it to where when the product info image is clicked it brings a larger picture of that picture. What my site is doing is bringing the category picture. Look at the site and test it you will see what I am talking about. Anyone know how to remove these other programs and get hoverbox working a little better?

Hello, ive installed Hoverbox3 over light box (after looking @ both demo's i decided hover was a nicer look & feel) i already had image handler2 installed, configured and tested

install went fine, existing products & picture worked fine, but when trying to upload new pictures & products, i found image handler 2 wasnt installed anymore (i had to click install IH2 under admin->tools->IH2) then it seemed to run fine, but

when i upload new pictures IH2 hover works fine, for all images but hover only works for the main picture (except for pictures installed before Hoverbox3) alt pictures never load.....

any ideas?

Hello all,

Please help me to get this mod - HB3 working.

I have done a fresh install of HB3. I didn't have IH2 and uninstalled Zen Lightbox (which also never worked) completely.

On my product page, I do see the main product image with the caption of enlarge image, when i click on it, it just opens up the image on a NEW page not like a overlay effect.

Could someone please guide me how to get this working ? Thank you.

finally i got it all working. But on IE6/7 Hb3 is broken. The overlay comes up but not the enlarged image. Also when you click on the overlay to switch it off, nothing happens and the site is frozen.

Testuser could you please be kind and assist me.

Thank you

Is there anyway to make the MAIN image pop up (by clicking on the image) instead of the button below it?

Has this issue been solved? Please advise. Thanks.

Do you have a solution to the problem??
I am facing a similar issue for my site:
http://tudordressing.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=42&zenid=07759afe0a1273d185eafc17c62ed5db

Any help would be highly appreciated.

*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.*

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.

Has anyone figured out a solution to this problem?
It works perfectly in FF, but not IE (see screenshot). I have no code left over from Fual Slimbox or Zen Lightbox and Image handler2 is fully functional.

This is a way cool mod - and any help to get this issue resolved would be appreciated.

Thanks

Weird? I've just tested this module using IE on 4 other computers at work without any glitches. I'm thinking that this might not be an outright bug, but that there is the odd suscepability for things to go wrong in IE depending on it's settings, stored data, etc etc? I'm going to fiddle a bit later with my home pc in the hope that i can get it to work there as well.. It works on more IE browsers than it does'nt so maybe it's just the odd isolated case.

to:Draping. Other than giving your browser a good cleanout, i cant think of what would cause this problem, especially as its working in IE on our other stations.:blink: Have you tested your site on another computer? I tested yours last night and i could see the problem. I've just passed by your site again this morning on a work pc and everything seems to working just fine. Go figure.

testuser:

You'd need to write some code to check for the existence of an image.

You'd need to alter the height and width of your image, and linking the photo would need to be done in the tpl_modules_main_product_image.php file.

Please specify the route to that file!!!

Stamper:

Hoverbox 3 css file seems to be causing errors during validation. I get the following: ```html
324 * html #hoverbox Value Error : margin-top Lexical error at line 324, column 88. Encountered: "?" (63), after : "" ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : 0) + 'px');
325 margin-left Value Error : margin-top Parse Error margin-left: expression( -1 * this.offsetWidth / 2 + (document.documentElement ? document.documentElement.scrollLeft : 0) + 'px');

Hi testuser this question has been ask before by Stamper back in April and again in May but you never answered his question. I have the same problem as he did. Is there a fix for this or is it something we have to live with. Thank you for your response and help.

ok.. Great add on you got. Installed and working GREAT!!

Just have one question. Is there any way to make the image LARGER when it comes up. I dont want to redo all my images to make them bigger. Just hoping that HoverBox has a way to just make all the images larger when they come up in the box. Thanks for your time.

This is from Testuse web site. There aren't any options available to set the image width and heights for HoverBox. Auto detection is done when using smart image resizing. Other than that the images dimensions can be controlled via Configuration :: Images in the admin area of your cart.

Hi,
I am new here. I have been trying to get Hoverbox3 to work on 2 of my sites with no luck. I am asking for some help with the install. I did not get any installation instructions, and do not have a sql to run (If I need too)? I do have Image Handler installed, and working.
The 2 sites I have tried to install on are

https://www.newportsolarlights.com
https://www.gardenfountainpros.com

Thank You to any that may be of help

Hello,

This seems like a great add-on. One thing I was wondering is if there was a way to set it up that would allow me to use large images that actually WOULD require scrolling. I see the Smart Resize option -- which would be good for those images that I want people to see all at once -- but I am selling comic books and I'd prefer to not have the pages too small to read.

Right now on my blog, the lightbox add-on I use allows you to scroll the lightboxed image. You can see an example of this on this page (just click one of the images):

http://www.yaoi911.com/yaoi-art-tough-character-designs/

(NOTE: I'm selling romance comics for women. While the individual images of this page are probably safe for work, the overall site -- including my Logo Banner -- are probably Not Safe For Work -- when in doubt, do not click!)

Can HoverBox work allow users to scroll large images like this?

Thanks!

Alex

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.

I would also like to know this, I prefer the clicking on the main image to show enlarged pictures, not the link below the image.

Also, is there a way to increase the previous/next tabs on either side and have them permanantly displayed? I've tried replacing the images with larger ones, but without sucsess (I'm about to scan for the image filename in the files and see if there is a size attribute to change).

Thanks for the help,
Adam.

Also (I forgot) I've noticed that with both HB and IH2 beforehand, my images never showed the product title above, any idea's why?

Thanks for the help,
Adam.

nevermind about the title not showing, realised it was caused by the first character being "

I've installed it and it works great -- thank you!

And... I'd also like to know how to make the main product image clickable to activate HoverBox. Having more options for my customers to click on to see my products displayed nicely is better, as far as I'm concerned. :smile: And in my usability testing, people just seem to like to click that main product image...

Thanks for the great plugin!

Hi,

I'm new to Zen Cart have installed the Hoverbox 3 per instructions but when I go to my store, the product images do not use the Hoverbox, they just open in a new page.

shop located at: http://purenaturalsshop.com/store

Could someone take a look and try to provide suggestions as to what I may have done wrong and how to fix this?

Thank you!!
