Fancybox - set widths for different overlays

I have a several blocks of content which open in a Fancybox. This all works as it's meant to but the contents of a couple of the boxes is quite small and doesn't really warrant a 1000px width Fancybox overlay. Is there a way to set the widths of these boxes to something else?
I've tried added a width to the content box (#login-overlay) for example but Fancybox just ignores this as it is built around the content once the relative link has been clicked which opens the overlay.
Here's my javascript:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
margin: [20,20,20,20],
padding: [20,20,0,20],
openEffect: 'fade',
openEasing: 'easeInQuad',
openSpeed: 400,
title: false,
//closeBtn: false,
//autoCenter: false,
scrolling : 'no', // turns off scrolling in box.
fitToView : false, // allows box to overflow out of viewport.
autoSize: false, // needs to be turned off for width/maxWidth to work.
height: 'auto', // if autoSize is set to 'false', this needs to be 'auto' so height matches content.
width: '100%',
maxWidth: 960,
helpers: {
overlay: {
// locked: false, // Prevents jump to top of window when opening a fancybox.
showEarly : false
}
},
tpl: {
closeBtn : '<a title="Close" class="fancybox-item fancybox-close icon-circle-cross" href="javascript:;"><span>Close</span></a>'
}
});
});
As you can see I'm using maxWidth to see the width of the default size. I couple of boxes could be almost half that. I've tried setting auto so see if it would inherit the width set on the content block in the CSS but this doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas that don't involve writing a whole need block of script for $(".fancybox-narrow")?
EDIT
I actually found an example on the Fancybox page which uses data-fancybox-width to set the width of an overlay: http://jsfiddle.net/wgPTR/
Though this doesn't seem to work with my code. The width sets but it isn't responsive anymore. Setting fitToView to false seems to get that working but then the fancybox crops when there's not enough vertical space and it's un-scrollable.
UPDATE
Just to update, here's a CodePen of the working (default) fancybox: http://codepen.io/moy/pen/YGgjqv
I've also created a forked version which uses data-fancybox-width to set a width - which works but unfortunately the fancybox is no longer responsive. The only way to get this to work is to take out fitToView: false which breaks my vertical scrolling.
Any ideas?

I seem to have found a solution (with a lot of help from the CSS Tricks forum) by using the following beforeLoad if statement:
beforeLoad: function() {
if ($(this.element).hasClass('fancybox--small')) {
this.maxWidth = 600;
}
}
Basically it checks for the class fancybox--small and if it's present it amends the maxWidth of the fancybox.
Can't see any problems with it (yet), checking in IE it seems to work down to IE8 as well. Hopefully this helps someone else but let me know if you find any issues with it ;)

Resize fancy box based on image size

I am loading some images into a fancybox windown. All the images are dynamically called and all have different widths and heights. I am having trouble resizing the fancy box window based on the image and its size. I dont want to set a definite width and height becuase the size changes. I am doing this to set the size but I dont if this is correct. I've read some articles on the issue but cant find a solution
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
width: '100%',
height: '100%',
});
});

Looking through fancybox api, it says it has this option:
autoScale: true //If true, FancyBox is scaled to fit in viewport
So you could pass that option into your .fancybox selector and take it for a spin:
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
autoScale: true
});

Adjust speed on jQuery UI accordion

I have a jQuery UI accordion of which I need to urgently change the speed/duration of the animation before the site goes live.
$(".faq-accordion > div").accordion({ header: "h4", collapsible: true, active: false, speed: "fast", });
Editing the speed in this line doesn't affect anything.
See JSFiddle for full code.
The show all/hide all buttons open the accordion at a much faster speed than when they are individually clicked.
I need to speed up the animation of the accordion so both are the same speed if possible.

If you take a look at the accordion API you'll see that there's no option called speed, you need to use animate. The equivalent to a duration setting of fast for slideUp and slideDown, in milliseconds, is 200, so you can just use that as a number value:
$(".faq-accordion > div").accordion({
header: "h4", collapsible: true, active: false,
animate:200
});
Here's your fiddle updated with this: http://jsfiddle.net/z3Lx1o0y/

You can specify the speed at a more granular level in the slideUp/slideDown function
e.g.
$('.applying div div').slideDown(1000);
Try tweaking this.

Flex Slider Issue Fade effects

I'm using flex slider in my html .
I have followed given steps to add slider in my html page.
Slider works well When animation = "slide" But
Not working properly when animation = "fade" ;
Fade effect does not show proper slides .
here is my script:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function(){
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
animation: "fade",
animationSpeed: 1000,
direction: "horizontal",
slideshowSpeed: 2000,
pauseOnHover: true,
slideshow: true,
start: function(slider){
$('body').removeClass('loading');
}
});
});
</script>
Help me out.
thank's

Sounds like something with the CSS. I would create a fiddle so people can see your code and also explain exactly what you mean by "Fade effect does not show proper slides". What happens? Anything?
If you do that then I'm sure you'll get it figured out on here...

I had the same problem. Animation: "slide" worked fine but when I tried to use "fade" I wasn't able to click the thumbnails to change the slides. There is nothing wrong with the flex slider or the javascript. It works great in the flex slider demo, so...
Try fiddling with the positioning/layering of the <ol>. The thumbnails are probably layered beneath the main slide image, making it impossible to actually click them.
This worked for me:
ol.flex-control-thumbs {clear: both;}
But you can also try playing with positioning and z-index if clearing doesn't work. It's going to depend heavily on how your HTML and CSS is structured. If that <ol> thumbnail list can wiggle it's way underneath the slider, it will. And nobody likes not being able to click stuff!

In my case, solution was simple.
Thumbnails work well, but its "under" the slides. Just set .flex-control-nav with high z-index.
.flex-control-nav{
z-index:500;
}
Should work.

Load flexslider after a fancybox div has opened

I've used flexslider and fancybox numerous times and both are great plugins. Separately, both these work great on a site I'm doing but the problem I'm going to describe now occurs when a flexslider gallery is places inside a fancybox div. I must point out this is a responsive website so there are no static widths, all widths are percentage based.
At first everything seems to be working. I load fancybox and flexslider displays as it should, its width 50% of the fancybox container. But if I add display: none; to the fancybox div which it needs to hide the div until its called upon, when fancybox loads all the images in flexslider are tiny, though the width of the flexslider div is correct. I'm assuming that because flexslider loads when the page does it has no idea what its width is. Which is why this doesn't occur when display: none; is set.
My javascript to load the 2 plugins currently looks like this:
// =FANCYBOX
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
padding : 2,
nextEffect: 'fade',
prevEffect: 'fade',
title: false,
});
// =FLEXSLIDER
$(function(){
if($(".flexslider").length > 0) {
$(".flexslider").addClass("loading");
// Can also be used with $(document).ready()
$(window).load(function() {
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
animation: "slide",
directionNav: false,
slideshowSpeed: 5000,
animationSpeed: 360,
easing: "easeInQuad",
useCSS: false,
start: function(slider){
$('.flexslider').removeClass('loading');
}
});
});
}
});
Does anyone know how I can force flexslider to initialise again after fancybox is visible?
Thanks,
Steve

Try initializing flexslider inside fancybox's afterShow callback like :
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$(".fancybox").fancybox({
padding : 2,
nextEffect: 'fade',
prevEffect: 'fade',
title: false,
afterShow: function(){
$('.flexslider').flexslider({
// flexlslider options
});
}
}); // fancybox
}); // ready

you should avoid display:none; for fancybox, so flexslider can determine image size properly.
this trick may help you:
put fancybox div inside a parent div.
set visibility:hidden; for fancybox div.
set display:none; for parent div.
hope that it helps.
