After installing the wonderful Lightbox for Zen Cart add-on provided from https://www.zenflavor.com, we noticed there was a conflict with other Jquery add-ons. After many hours searching for a solution, the answer was simple, the problem lay in a conflict between Mootolls and JQuery, and the solution was to update to Slimbox2 which now uses Jquery…
N.B. Make sure to back up your website first…
1. Download Slimbox 2 from https://code.google.com/p/slimbox/downloads/detail?name=slimbox-2.04.zip
and upload the contents from the js and css folders to the appropriate folders in your zen cart installation overwriting any files
2. Edit html_header.php in your template folder…
Delete the line <script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/mootools.js”></script>
Edit the line <script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/slimbox.js”></script> to
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”js/slimbox2.js”></script>
And finally edit the line <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”css/slimbox.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” /> to ….
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”css/slimbox2.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
Now when you refresh your installation should be working

As a novice WordPresser, this took ages for me to figure out, but eventually managed to solve. If you have a category and want to display one or a number of random posts from only that category then this is how you achieve it. In your archive.php under the category section use the following…
<?php query_posts(‘showposts=1&orderby=rand&cat=’.$cat); ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
</a> </li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php wp_reset_query(); ?>
The key being…
<?php query_posts(‘showposts=1&orderby=rand&cat=‘.$cat); ?>
Zen Cart is a powerful shopping cart system, and has great deal to offer. You can utilize it further by adding some neat jquery into your shopping cart, easily done by adding a little bit of script to the templates and uploading the jquery files. One jQuery script that is very powerful on the front page of your Zen Cart site or any site is the easy slider, this was recommended to me and is very effective for displaying your top products. You can add or take a away from the slider by adding in

This can cause conflict when you want to display a newsletter form from MailChimp or similar client or Facebook or content from Twitter.

// test if box should display
