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.
Hi, When I upgraded my store to Magento ver. 1.3.2.4 your easy lightbox does not work. When I try to view a product page it generates an magento error page. Do you need to edit the extension to work with ver. 1.3.2.4? It worked before I upgraded and I have uninstalled and reinstalled but it is still causing errors. Thanks
Hello Ross, Easylightbox extension should work without any problem. Can you tell us what error do you have?

Hi,
I'm using custom template and both of your extension "Spolight" and "Lightbox" is not working under my custom template.
I try change back to default template and both extension is working without any problem...
So do I need to add any code into my custom template? I really need your great extension, please help...
Regards,
Les
Hello Les, you should copy extensions files to your default folder.
Hi,
The lightbox is working, but still I'm having a small problem with it, the initial image(=main image) is also shown as a thumb, so when I upload for example 3 images I get 4 images shown in the lightbox, the first image is shown twice?
Greetings
Steve
Steve, you should set main product image to "exclude". Please check images tab for each product.
Very nice product, however, is there a way to avoid GIANT pictures ? Like a maximum size (not for first pictures, but for others, you can see that problem even in your demo)!
It is a very nice extension by the way!

Hello Maxime, here is quick fix for you:
app\design\frontend\default\default\template\easylightbox\media.phtml line 86
<a href="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'image', $_image->getFile()); ?>"to
<a href="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($this->getProduct(), 'image', $_image->getFile())->resize($popupImageSize[0], $popupImageSize[1]); ?>"i installed the lightbox extension, but i can't seem to find 'app\design\frontend\default\default\template\easylightbox' in order to transfer the extenion files into the current theme. ANy ideas?
Same problem here.
Have you installed from Magento Connect or upload files?
How do I center the lightbox vertically in the window?
It's always too near the top?
Please reply
thanks for the great extension.
