HoverBox 3 - Official Thread

Ok found out the close image wasnt showing up because the image was too small so it didnt have enough room, is there a way to set a minimum width so the close will always show up?
And it still looks like the rounded corners are missing.. the corners are rounded it just has little black lines at each corner.

I have a bit of a quirky issue:

HoverBox 3 is running perfectly for me on my custom template... However, on the default template (classic green), there is no overlay at all, and the alpha on the "close" button is apparently forced to zero.

Everything else loads and displays perfectly as far as I can tell, and I can still click the "close" button on the HoverBox, but it is apparently invisible, and there is no overlay appearing at all...

Any ideas why this would be? I have un-installed and re-installed HoverBox several times, and I have double-check and re-copied all of the files back into the folders for both templates. I'm stumped...?

siliconbug:

I've met some weird situation.

When I click "larger image," Some large pictures come with Product Titles & Product Prices normally, but some large pictures don't.

I've try to uninstall & reinstall, but it doesn't help.
OK, I've found this bug.

If I have product title with "" like this:

"Siliconbug" is the product name

Hoverbox 3 will display blank product title.

Does anyone have a copy of HoverBox 3? Seems as the authors .net domain has expired and I need to get a new site up and running ASAP.

http://zen-cart-templates.ichoze.net/ no longer exists.

Thanks In Advance

I'm trying to get a copy of HoverBox 3 as well. The site domain form ichoze.net expired on June 4th. Does anybody have the original zip that they can share with me?

Many thanks...

This is a great contribution, and its working perfectly in all browsers I checked except the new, most recent version of IE 8.

When I click in a picture in IE 8, instead of displaying the Hoverbox effect, it simply opens a new tab and shows the picture.
Interestingly, if I put IE 8 in "compatibility" mode, it works.

How can I solve this issue?

Thanks

Hi,
I have the same problem... but me shows the picture in same tab as shop. In "compatibility mode" works great.
Help!

this side up:

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

Any solution for this problem, It does it in IE 7 and up, because when i checked in IE6, everything was OK.

I was wondering if it dose the same in HB2 ? If so I will degrade to HB2

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

First this is one of the greatest mod.

about the
"When someone clicks on larger image, the window that pops up is not centered and the background does not cover the whole page" problem, I come a cross a website,

https://www.nickstakenburg.com/projects/lightview/

to solve the problem we need something like
"Setup your doctype"
and
"requires Prototype 1.6.0.3 and Scriptaculous 1.8.2. In"
does it make sense to anyone at all to solve the problem.

Yes I am having the same problem. Someone should make a fix for this. 26% of my customers use IE 8 and that number is only going to increase with time as more and more people upgrade their browsers from IE 7 to IE 8.

Hi guys

I came across the hoverbox 3 addon and thought it was the perfect tool for my website. However, the only page I could find with a download for it gave me a broken .zip folder. Does anyone know where I can get it?

Thanks.

P.s. This is my first post in the Zen Cart community. I'm a noob to Zen Cart but this tool is incredible!

Hi All,

As much as I dislike Internet Explorer, still the more wide-spread of browsers out there --- noting with HoverBox that using Internet Explorer 8 that the images pop into separate windows, rather than the kinder (and gentler!) windows being generated on Firefox.

Using zen v.1.3.8 and believe the HoverBox 3 edition as well here.

Does anyone have any work-arounds for moding HoverBox to also effectively work on IE8 at all?

Thanks!!!

I had the same problem so in winrar I used the repair rar and it fixed it.

I followed everything to the letter of the install file and I a no frame frame pic with white bar garbled everywhere, also there is no close box showing up. I don't how it works for everyone else this has got me baffled

ok I got it to work finally I had to copy all the folders in all my templates but it just doesn't work with ie8! When clicking on the pic it opens up in a new page just sitting up there in the top left hand corner which you have to hit the back button to go back to the site.

Why is that, luckily I've created a demo site where I do all my tests before doing anything in my real site.

As much as I want to use this add on I just can't afford it to muck my viewers around.

Is there a work around for this

If only IE explorer was banned from the internet world how much better off would we be

I just noticed the same happens on the creators site http://zen-cart-templates.ichoze.net/

check it out and you'll know what I mean

i found it on the austrian forum. its german i think, but who cares?
:clap:

Have smbody solved the problem with IE8 bug yet?

Does anyone have a working copy of this module? I have downloaded it from the creators website and I'm getting an error that the file is either an unknown format or damaged and wont let me extract it. I have tested it a while ago with 1.3.7 and it worked great and wanted to test with 1.3.8 but I have misplaced the DL files. I see that there is a browser issue has anyone resolved it?

Thanks,
Chad

I found out that my winrar software wasn't working correctly after a new windows update so now I can extract the files but has anyone found a solution to the IE8 issue?

i just downloaded the Hoverbox zip and it says it corrupted, is there a good link for this??
