Shadowbox Integration

chadweston · #1 03-13-2008, 11:28 AM

Hiya Guys.

I came across the rather cool ShadowBox, which can be seen here http://mjijackson.com/shadowbox/

I actually came across it following a link from www.xcartmods.co.uk who have a free mods section, however this is currently offline and I need to get this integrated.

So does anyone have the integration, or can provide ways to do it please.

I can do html and potter around in scripts but am basically a cut-and-paster if I am honest. many Thanks

Chris

www.proactivefitness.co.uk is the xcart site I have been working on. It is my first. Cheers

He already did all the work for you!

Moving to Third Party add-ons as this is not a Qualiteam add-on.

I got it installed, there seems to be no problems....but first I do not fully understand the Detailed Images thing.....and exactly how to implement shadowbox......

I got it, sometime I forget about all the options for a particular section are all at the top...

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

Very simple and looks great......

Has anyone overcome difficulties associated with conflict of shadowbox (or greybox) with other javascript? I have shadowbox and greybox running on several XCART & non-XCART sites - but I've come across one that is conflicting with other javascript code.

This is not specific to to PhilJ's mod - but to Shadowbox.

I am trying to implement shadowbox on an xcart site that has tons of other javascript. I can strip all the javascript from the page, and the shadowbox works fine - and is very stable. I cannot isolate the conflict to any particular javascript code - but other code or a combination of other javascript code starts to cause instability in the shadowbox code. (I suspect the fancy categories code as well as some preload code from dreamweaver)

I think the instability has to do with the shadowbox requirement for the initialization - that is - the window.onload. For some reason - other javascript code seems to sometimes cause the Shadowbox.init to not be handled properly - especially on a page reload. The result is - instability where some pages have the shadowbox not load.

So - I'm trying to figure out how to get the window.onload to be stable. If anyone has come across this before and solved it - any hints you can offer would be appreciated!

I got this working but would like thumbnails of the images to show rather than Image text Links
