Does anyone know if I have to download any other programs to work with this? The only thing I've done is I've uploaded everything in the zip file posted above and made a few file changes. Nothing displays on my site

Thanks

You should not need anything more than what is in the XCART Mods download to display the shadowbox.

Just click on Detailed images and upload one and after that shadowbox takes over in the product details

Very simple and looks great......

I'm not seeing anything different in the product details or the detailed images. What should I be seeing? I haven't been able to get this working properly on the site yet - not sure if it's because something is missing in the admin.

sorry, i figured out what you were seeing. that didn't fix the problem. i've removed the mod from the site - can't get the javascript to work. seems to be an issue with Shadowbox.init

This alternative (free) solution may work for you:

Dynamic Images - resizes images to proper thumbnails on-the-fly

A shadowbox howto, using Dynamic Images mod - The shadowbox solution I use, is Lytebox. This howto that I posted in my forum, explains how to implement Lytebox + Dynamic Images

Hi Jon,

I looked at that mod earlier but it doesn't seem to have the lightbox effect when I click on the sample page. It just goes to the full size image.. Thought it might be a Firefox issue but I tried it in IE7 too with the same results.

Thanks for pointing that out, it's fixed now. I was tired last night, apparently I made a change that broke the javascript

Try now

Have you had any issues with javascript conflicts? That's why I gave up on the Shadowbox integration. Don't want to invest more time if I'm going to be faced with the same issue.

[intel352]

The reason I went with Lytebox, is specifically because it doesn't have conflicts the way other shadowbox applications do. Other shadowboxes are typically based on JQuery, Mootools, or some other library, but the problem is, if you're mixing and matching different applications that all use those same libraries, you end up seeing a conflict somewhere.

Lytebox is completely standalone & self-contained. Seems much cleaner from an organizational standpoint

Cheers
