Lightbox was probably the most common widget asked us to install. Old magento wiki likghbox isntruction required some codding experience and also it some took time. But now we are proud to offer new community extension Magento EasyLightbox. This small extension will help to install Lightbox widget. Installation and configuration will take approximately 5 minutes. No files are replaced and no codding experience needed to install!
Please check demo at our demo server.
Hello, I absolutely love this extension. I just set up a new magento store, and I can't wait to use this extension. However, I encountered some problems:
-------------------
Invalid tgz file.
Download of "magento-community/magento_easy_lightbox" succeeded, but it is not a valid package archive
Error: cannot download "magento-community/magento_easy_lightbox"
Install Errors
Download failed
PEAR ERROR: install failed
----------------
Anyways, since I can't install it via magentoconnect, and I can't install it with SSH either, how can I manually install this extension with FTP?
Please try again install it from magento connect. If this will not work from you then you can try download this extension from our store.
Hi there, I had installed EasyLightbox before and it worked pretty well. After having installed ProZoom, cleared chace, logged out, logged in, I was not able to get into the system-configuration site any more. Actually i was hoping to use both extensions together. But no way ... is there?
As far as i remember we fixed this issue. Please let us know if you still having this problem.
Hello, thank you for this great extension. It works well for me. I do have a question though, where do I go and change the background color opacity for the lightbox? Cheers.
Oh nevermind, it's in the CSS file in skin. Cheers! :)
refreshing cach won't work. I still have fault message and products are not accessable.
0.56 worked ok?
How can I make the lightbox image center on the current browser view when I click on the thumb? Right now, I have to scroll up to see many of the images.
Also, the max size of the popup image doesn't seem to work. I have it set to 500x500 and get images that are over 750x750 still.
Sorry Drew, but you can check latest Easyligtbox version at http://extension01.templates-master.com/gb/olympus-stylus-750-7-1mp-digital-camera.html and find that it should work as described.
Very nice!
but seems have a little problem with watermark.The way of Magento zoom seems deal wartermark better.
Hello Ed, can you tell us what exactly is wrong with watermarks?
Sorry,i am late.And thank you for care about this.
I make a simple screemshoot to make it easy to compare.
Here it is:

Hello Ed, it works as it should in both cases. The difference is caused by different image size in standard zoom and lightbox. Lightbox show resized product image on products page and standard zoom show big image. So if you want to make it look better you should decrease size of watermark.
ok,thank you.
My magento version is 1.3.2.4
It`s ok?
I don't understand how the image sizes work. Magento has a base, small and thumbnail. How does this extension know what image to popup when clicked on? There's no documentation?
Hello Mike, can you explain what exactly problem do you have?
Hello,
First, thanks for the fantastic extension!
I've been using it on my product pages and it's really good.
Having some trouble with a CMS page though. It's working fine in Firefox but gives me page errors in IE 7 and 8 for some reason. The link to my page is http://www.bewafloralart.com.au/gallery.
Can you provide any advice on what I can change to fix this? To get it to work in Firefox I copied the CSS info to boxes.css. I've used absolute links to link to the gifs (blank, prevlabel and nextlabel).
Thanks!
Hello Chris, we are planning to add light box functionality on all pages but right now we can't help you.
