eCommerce image callout and lightbox
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I've tried a couple of methods of displaying products in a page - first by just using a Product Detail block and second by using a Product List search results block.
Both display the products fine, but I'm not having much success with the callout and the lightbox features.
A couple of specific questions I could use help with, please.
First, the callout. Is there a way to position the callout? When I made a Product List with two columns, the callout disappears off the right-hand edge of the browser window, which is no good.
Second, despite clicking on options to display the price and the description in the callout, there's nothing but an image. This might be because the callout box has a white background and my default page text is white, but I'm not sure.
Finally, the lightbox. According to the documentation (http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/ecommerce/documentation/operator-s-guide/product-list/) "Lightbox displays the property in the lightbox-style overlay displayed when a customer clicks the product thumbnail." - when I do it, nothing whatsoever happens. Do I need to do something to activate lightbox?
Hope someone can help.
generally speaking, I'm very impressed with Concrete 5 eCommerce so far, but obviously I'm still learning.

How did you fix the lightbox not opening issue?
I can't remember! Sorry that's not very helpful. I'd guess it might have been something to do with using "pretty URLs". I have had a bit of a problem with those in the latest couple of versions of Concrete5. I suspect one of the ISAPI re-write rules might have been messing with the javascript pathnames.
Ive been having the same issue...I have just delete all databases for a fresh reinstall and its still doing it. Its driving me crazy!!!!!!
Did you solve the issue of the Callout images going outside the Div?
It would be nice if there was a way to tell the callout images to appear in different places depending on where the selectd image is positioned.

I have the same prob - the callout is positioned in a way that parts of it are not visible since they are out of the browser window. Some ideas?
i would like help with the callout its not very good when it goes off the page. My clients told me to fix it or turn it off.
does anyone have a solution?

I think I have turned if off in all cases that I have it installed...
i managed to give it a minus margin to get it to show on left instead of the right. this is ok for me becuse am using a left side bar so i have redundant space on the left. if i had a fullwidth layout then it would be more of a problem. we need a jquery plugin that will show it at the correct side depending on if its closest to the right or the left. a php script to shorten the product description is a must aswell.
I was right - it was just white text on a white background making it seem as though there was no text.
For the record, this is solved by copying ccm.core.commerce.cart.css from the \concrete\packages\core_commerce\css\ folder and putting it into your own theme folder. I changed the background colour to black and the white text was revealed.
