Lightbox content is cut off without a scrollbar

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Hello,

I publish a list of content of a category with zentools.
Link behavior is set to "Lightbox".

On normal screen it looks very well,
but when I resize the browser-window to a smaller format to controll the responsivity,
the lightbox-content is cut off without a scrollbar.

What can I do?

Hi there,

We are working on a responsive lightbox at the moment.

For the time being though if you have the content of the lightbox set to display the article content as well as the image it should trigger a mode where the scroll bars appear.

Does that work? If not please post a link and we will help you further.

Hello Anthony,
a scrollbar does not appear in the lightbox when I make the screen smaller

Hi

If its not working for you which browser are you using?

Thanks

I use firefox and IE9
On both the lightbox is cut off (not all content viewable, also when a scrollbar is there).
This only happens, when screen is minimalized.

The problem with the width I have solved with
#fancybox-content div {
width: 100% !important;
max-width: 100% !important;
}
in the css/theme.css.
Now it would be great to solve the problem with the hight.
Thanks

Hi there,

Perhaps you could post a screen shot to illustrate what you are seeing? I can scroll within the lightbox to see all your content on small screens (in FireFox).

Hi there,

Is that after resizing the window? Or does that happen on page load?

The lightbox we are using isn't responsive at this stage but we are in discussion with a new responsive lightbox plugin that will be able to do this.

Thanks

The scrollbar an content is cut off by pageload and by resizing the window.

Hello,
something new about my lightbox-problem?

You are planning a responsive lightbox. Do you know when it will come?
I like the way to open the content in the lightbox, but with the cut off lightbox I can not realize this on small screens or handys.
It would be enough, when a scrollbar does show the whole content, also if he is a little bit longer as one page.

Hi there,

I just tested your site on my iPhone (4s) and I can scroll within the lightbox, no problem, though you should not see a scroll bar on a mobile screen I think.

Which device are you testing on?

Hi sorry this has taken so long to solve. Ive just seen the issue on the iphone actually but wonder if you could create a ticket with ftp details so we can fix this and find the issue. I can't seem to replicate that locally.

Thanks for your patience.
