Did you apply the instructions to modify product_info.php & upload your changed file?

Remember this modifies the individual product display in product_info.php, not the multiple product listing display in index.php.

Perhaps u need to read How do I install a contribution http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?sho...=0#entry1432157

Thanks for the advice & help. The "How do I" is invaluable.
Now, tho I'm getting this message whenever I list a new product:

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/theurba4/public_html/admin/categories.php on line 1127

I think I'm getting info-overload...
Thanks again,
pete.

Go over the install again, u missed bits!! You could use the included file.

It does say in that other thread, if u have new errors, triple check your install, most likely missed smthg, why did u think it would be otherwise!!

First off, very nice contrib by the way. I use to use Morepics but I think this one is easier and much cleaner than the Lightbox as well.

Interested in the popup arrows easier to locate or stay on top always. See below:

I am noticing that when you have several images that in the popup I can only see the left and right arrows when I put my mouse over them. If you don't know to mouse over a specific area, I think the customer will not know that they can click a button to move forward or back through the images in popup.

Is there a way to make the buttons permanent perhaps at the bottom of the popup? Perhaps right next to or in title of image?

Thanks,

Charles

To show always add:

   span#fancy_left_ico {left: 20px; } 
   span#fancy_right_ico {right: 20px;}

to the bottom of fancybox.css

to position at the bottom find:

span.fancy_ico {
 position: absolute; 
 top: 50%;
 margin-top: -15px;
 width: 30px;
 height: 30px;
 z-index: 112; 
 cursor: pointer;
 display: block;
}

change the top: 50%; to top: 90%; or similar.

How to set vertical position of popup.

There is a solution to this, you must edit the javascript in the js/jquery.fancybox.js file:

find (233)

'top': itemTop,

replace with

'top': '100px',

change the 100px to whatever value suites.

Thanks for all the help.

I have searched high and low on specifics of how to get the background webpage to dim or overlay. However, I have been unsuccessful.

What I have seen is to put overlay to true and 0 to 1. I must be doing this in the wrong area. Can you please inform me of the exact code I need to change to dim the background and how to change it?

Thanks so much,

Charles

can be done with css, but what has that to do with this??

[fan4chevy]

Well, In FancyBox I am wanting to darken the background page with the overlay so the images stand out more and have been totally lost in trying to figure out how to do it.


All I could find is things saying put default false to true and change 0 to 1 but I have not succeeded in changing anything if this is the area to change:
overlayShow: true,
overlayOpacity: 1,
If so the above did not dim my back page and your help is appreciated so I can keep my sanity.

Clearly settings for the overlay will not affect the background!.

There is no published method to darken the backgound with fancybox, I suspect there would be issues with the fade effect if such were done.

If you wish to try I suggest you research the jquery plugins.

Hi again,

I think it is a standard feature because I have seen it used elsewhere and at the main site it is one of the examples. See the first image on the left that is a red sided house with flowers. It shades the back. http://fancybox.net/example

Also is this not what is meant by overlay or is this something else?

Ok I figured it out and it works awesome! I hope my 2 days of frustration will help another add this effect for those not sure what do do to DIM THE BACKGROUND!
------------------------------------------------
Open product_info.php
Look for the area above </head> where you pasted the fancybox code and find: 'overlayShow':

Change 'overlayShow': false to true
Save file and upload to catalog directory.

Now open jquery.fancybox.js and find: overlayOpacity:
Change the 0.3 to 0.4 or 0.6 if you want the dim background darker.

It really makes a difference.

Well done, thanks for the tip.

Welcome. I am trying to figure out another plug in that will enable you to drag and drop the window to a specified location as well as create some optional styled images such as written out next and previous,etc.

[fan4chevy]

Make FANCYBOX draggable.

Ok here it is. This plug-In will enable you to have your Fancybox be draggable along with the drag arrowed icon as well. This is not a necessary feature but kind of cool!

As always, back up you work. Said to work fine in Firefox 3.x, Opera 9.1, Safari 4 for Windows beta, Chrome 1.x and IE6 and IE7 (not tested in IE8 yet)

Step1:
Open product_info.php and place the following script in the <head> section. (Anywhere between <head> and </head>)

Step2:
Copy the below code and name the file: jquery.easydrag.handler.beta2.js

Copy the file below here ( unfortunately I don't know how to add this file other then pasting it here:

/**
* EasyDrag 1.5 - Drag & Drop jQuery Plug-in

* Thanks for the community that is helping the improvement
* of this little piece of code.

$.updatePosition(e);

};

})(jQuery);

End the copy from above here

Step 3:
Upload the above file that you haved named jquery.easydrag.handler.beta2.js to the /images/js folder where all of your other fancybox files are.

Step 4:
Open jquery.fancybox.js and find the code that reads hideOnContentClick : true, and change the true to false.

Step 5:
Upload jquery.fancybox.js to the /images/js folder

I hope you enjoy it!

Well done again, only u missed off some of your instructions!!

Step1:
Open product_info.php and place the following script in the <head> section. (Anywhere between <head> and </head>)

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo DIR_WS_IMAGES ?>js/jquery.easydrag.handler.beta2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
 // add drag and drop functionality to #fancy_box
 $("#fancy_outer").easydrag();
});
</script>

Step 4 & 5 are not strictly neccessary as that setting has already been set in the head

Thanks for finding that though, I`ll include it in the next release.

Thanks. I didn't think it would be anything but my error. I was only hoping for a point in the right direction... Anyway, still trying. Still can only get one pic on listing, even tho i have uploaded 4.
Thanks for your help.
