Picture doubles in Lightbox

[pat01]

Hello

If there is only one picture attached to the ad, the big foto is shown double (twice) in the Lightbox after the thumbnail picture is klicked.

This happens in following broswers (all Windows Vista):

IExplorer 7
Google Chrome 3.0.195
Safari 3.2.1



It's fine with these browsers:
Firefox 3.5.2
Opera 9.64

If there are two or more pictures in the ad it's OK.

Any idea what's wrong?

Thank you very much!

have you modified the viewlisting template? if so try putting the default 68c one back, does it do it then?

[pat01]

The only thing I did to the viewlisting.tpl was to add the "Ad Reporting Module":

PHP Code:

<a href="modules.php?mod=ad_reporting&id={$view}">{$smarty.const.LANG_REPORTLISTING}</a> 


I just noticed, that I don't have the "double picture" problem on my offline copy of the website.

Yesterday I had another strange error (featured ads were not displayed), also just on the live website, but not on the offline copy. The ticket support of 68C gave me the adivise to delete the plugins folder and upload a fresh copy. That did solve the problem.

I suppose that I have a similar problem now as well. Maybe there is an old, not necessary file on the server. But I don't know where the Lightbox gets generated from. Maybe I should delete another folder an upload a fresh copy? But which one?

EDIT: Problem partly solved!

I did delete the folder "javascript" and upload it again. For some reasons inside this directory I had a few oder folders, such as TinyMCE, dtree and others. No idea why...
Obviously they did disturb the Scripts which are used for the Lightbox.

Now the double picture problem comes when an ad has two or more pictures, but not if the ad has only one.

After that I did delete all folders except the templates folder and I did upload the software again. The pictures are still double. And I can reproduce the problem on my offline installation as well now.

Next I did switch back to the 68C default template. The problem has gone...
So, the error must be in one of the template files. I'll check them next. Good I did not modify all of them...

The first thing I would recommend is to upgrade to 4.1.6 . Not only does it have a number of bugs resolved but just in that process, you are likely to solve your double images problem. What I would do is actually upload the whole of 4.1.6 again (every file because FTP works less well than people often think - file corruption is something I see everyday doing support). However, only run the upgrade (DO NOT DO A FRESH INSTALL when given the choice on the setup screen).

You might also like to consider our templatecodes.com system. Running with that means you benefit from a whole bunch of people and ourselves who are regularly working on these type of issues as they arise. However, I have to say, they come far and few between nowadays. The other advantages are that we stay on top of browser compatibility issues.

Hi David

I use v4.1.6, I just did update my signature. I forgot to do so before, sorry for that.

Meanwhile I did replace my offline template with another copy. I don't have the problem on my offline installation anymore. After that, I did delete the template folder online and upload the working copy. Unfortunately the problem still is there on my online website.
I did clear the browser cache regurarly, so that can't be the problem.

Thank you for your tips and hints. I guess I'll try to upload the template folder again, using another FTP software....
