Well, I don't know why you are complicating this fancybox thing like this,
Why do you need your 'thisElement' var? You should give us some more details to be sure we really understand what you need... I give you here some tips to open fancybox.. :
when you use fancybox, just start it like this :
//event function(){
$('.vid').click(function(){
$.fancybox({
//settings
'type' : 'iframe',
'width' : 640,
'height' : 480,
//You don't need your thisElement var, see below :
'href' : $(this).data('href')
});
});
and put your settings into it,
here is a starting point for you, now just customize it to make it better for your needs :

Hope it helps!

To make things much simpler you could use the special data-fancybox attributes on your div like
<div class="vid" data-fancybox-href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gGFXXWsCiVo?autoplay=1" data-fancybox-type="iframe">This DIV should open fancybox</div>
Then use a script as simple as this
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$('.vid').fancybox();
}); // ready
See JSFIDDLE
NOTE:
The disadvantage of triggering fancybox programmatically as in the accepted answer is that it will only trigger a single fancybox but won't work for a gallery, while you can bind a fancybox gallery of several divs using the data-fancybox-group attribute.

JQuery & Fancybox clicking image to open a new page/link (Update existing code)

Good morning,
Iv got a page that currently opens an event image when users land on our main page, this code was already in place and I am simply trying to add in a link to an event we are hosting. (Modify the code) I have been trying to use .wrap and "content" along with a few other things I found on here, however I am unable to modify the code correctly. (When I have made attempts the page will simply quit appearing, so I know there is an error) I am not to familiar with java/fancybox so any help with modifying this current code would be greatly appreciated!
Here is what I currently have:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery.fancybox({
'autoScale' : false,
'width' : 783,
'height' : 700,
'autoScale' : false,
'transitionIn' : 'elastic',
'transitionOut' : 'none',
'type' : 'iframe',
'titlePosition' : 'inside',
'overlayColor' : '#fff',
'href' : '/img/treeofdreams.jpg'
});
});
</script>
PS I tried to even just change the height on the iframe to add in the following below the image:

However it appears the iframe doesn't want to share more real estate below!
Thank you,

If you just want to add a link to the image that is shown in fancybox, then .wrap() method is the way to go, however you may need to know exactly what selector you need to target and wrap it within the onComplete (v1.3.4) callback
So try this code :
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
jQuery.fancybox({
autoScale: false,
width: 783, // or whatever needed
height: 700,
transitionIn: 'elastic',
transitionOut: 'none',
// type: 'iframe', // you don't need this for images
titlePosition: 'inside',
overlayColor: '#fff',
href: '/img/treeofdreams.jpg', // the URL of the image
title: "the title", // you may need this
onComplete: function () {
jQuery("#fancybox-img").wrap(jQuery("<a />", {
href: "http://facebook.com/", // the URL to open after clicking the image
target: "_blank", // opens in a new window/tab
title: "go to facebook" // optional, shows on mouse hover
}))
}
});
}); // ready
Notice #fancybox-img is the selector ID of the fancybox image.
See JSFIDDLE
Note: this is for fancybox v1.3.4

Fancybox 1.3.4 - no overlay after reloading

I'm developing a ajax popup system. One of functionalities is, when ajax gathers any new data, to show it using Fancybox. There are two scenarios:
user reads data brought by ajax, and closes fancybox.
user is AFK. When another data comes in, it should be appended to already displaying fancybox content
my html container for fancybox looks like this:
<div id="notifications_fancybox">
<div class="notifications_fancybox_title">
Powiadomienia
</div>
<div id="notifications_fancybox_content">
</div>
</div>
where notifications_fancybox has display: none; in css.
Fist I wanted to just $('#otifications_fancybox_content').append('some html'); append some data, but it seems that after fancybox have been initialized, somehow it won't let me append anything.
So I found another way to do that:
When new data comes in, first check if fancybox is already opened:
nl.isFancyboxOpened = function(){
if($('#fancybox-wrap').is(':visible')) return true;
return false;
};
if it is opened, close it:
if(nl.isFancyboxOpened()){
$.fancybox.close();
}
append some data
$('#otifications_fancybox_content').append('some html');
and open fancybox
nl.openFancybox = function(){
if(nl.isFancyboxOpened() == false){
$.fancybox(
$('#notifications_fancybox').html(),
{
'autoDimensions' : false,
'overlayShow' : true,
'hideOnOverlayClick' : false,
'showCloseButton' : true,
'width' : 450,
'height' : 400,
'transitionIn' : 'none',
'transitionOut' : 'none'
}
);
}
else{
$.fancybox.resize();
}
};
Now, the main problem:
When fancybox is displayed for the first time, everything is fine - there's overlay, buttons and so on.
When more ajax data comes for being displayed and I try to go through above procedure (close-append-reopen), everything again seems fine except... there is no overlay! So user can click on everything on the page, and I don't want him to.

Okay, I've managed to solve the problem. Not exactly what I wanted, but I'll work fine enough.
My solution uses onComplete callback to force display property of overlay to be set to block. It's packed in setTimeout because calling it instantly won't work. Also reducing timeout below certain time will cause this solution to fail. I believe there's a better way to solve this, but I haven't found one... yet ;)
$.fancybox(
$('#notifications_fancybox').html(),
{
'autoDimensions' : false,
'overlayShow' : true,
'hideOnOverlayClick' : false,
'showCloseButton' : true,
'onComplete' : function(){setTimeout(function(){$('#fancybox-overlay').css('display', 'block');}, 250);},
'width' : 450,
'height' : 400,
'transitionIn' : 'none',
'transitionOut' : 'none'
}
);

Fancybox script not working

I have used Fancybox on multiple occasions and never run into this problem. I have included both jQuery and Fancybox files in the header, linked up the first order button the the page to open up an iframe in a Fancybox. However I cant seem to get it to work at all. It doesn't open an iframe and instead goes straight to the page I was trying to open inside the Fancybox iframe.
Can somebody point out whatever blindingly obvious mistake I've made this horrible Monday morn?
Testing server can be found here:
http://www.designti.me/testing/flipstick/original.php

The error message is: Uncaught TypeError: Object #<an Object> has no method 'fancybox'
Which implies that fancybox hasn't loaded. Taking a close look at your source we see <script type="text/x-ecmascript" src="js/fancybox/jquery.fancybox-1.3.4.pack.js"></script> which you can see uses x-ecmascript rather than javascript. Change that and you should be fine.

You didn't put your code into the ready handler:
$(function() { // <-- you need this
$("a.iframe").fancybox({
//...
});
}); // <-- and this

Maybe to put it in document.ready?
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a.iframe").fancybox({
'width' : '75%',
'height' : '75%',
'autoScale' : false,
'transitionIn' : 'none',
'transitionOut' : 'none',
'type' : 'iframe'
});
});

Use this:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("a.iframe").fancybox({
'type' : 'iframe', //<--missing comma here
'width':750,
'height':500 //<-- removed last comma here
});
});

jquery fancybox - prevent close on click outside of fancybox

I'm using the Fancybox plugin for my modal windows. It seems like no matter what options I use I can't prevent the fancybox modal window from closing when the user clicks outside of the fancybox modal window (grayed out area).
Is there a way to force the user to click the X or a button that I trigger the close event? This seems like it should be simple so I'm hoping I'm just reading the examples wrong.
I've tried hideOnContentClick: false but that doesn't seem to be working for me. Any ideas?

jQuery(".lightbox").fancybox({
helpers : {
overlay : {
speedIn : 0,
speedOut : 300,
opacity : 0.8,
css : {
cursor : 'default'
},
closeClick: false
}
},
});

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#your_link").fancybox({
'hideOnOverlayClick':false,
'hideOnContentClick':false
});
});
</script>

I'm using fancybox 1.3.1, if you wanna force the user to close the modal box ONLY by clicking on the button, you can specify in the configuration:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#your_link").fancybox({
'hideOnOverlayClick':false,
'hideOnContentClick':false
});
});
</script>

For this issue, please try this way
$("YourElement").fancybox({
helpers: {
overlay: { closeClick: false } //Disable click outside event
}
Hope this helps.

If you are using Fancybox 1.2.6 (like I am on a project), I found out the option hideOnOverlayClick. You can set it to false (e.g. hideOnOverlayClick: false).
I found this option while exploring to modify the code based on the suggestion givn by Scott Dowding.

There is no option for that. You will have to change the source code.
In jquery.fancybox-1.2.1.js you need to comment out (or delete) line 341 in the _finish method:
//$("#fancy_overlay, #fancy_close").bind("click", $.fn.fancybox.close);

I ran into the same "issue". This worked for me:
$("#fancybox-overlay").unbind();

none of the above worked for me, so i just wrote a simple bit for latest version of fancybox.
function load(parameters) {
$('.fancybox-outer').after('');
}
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".various").fancybox({
modal: true,
afterLoad: load
});
});
Hope this helps :)

The $("#fancybox-overlay").unbind() solution given for this question by #Gabriel works except I needed to bind it to the fancybox after it loads its content, and I couldn't unbind immediately. For anyone who runs into this issue, the following code solved the problem for me:
$('.fancybox').fancybox({'afterLoad' : function() {
setTimeout(function() { $("#fancybox-overlay").unbind(); }, 400);}
});
The 400ms delay got it working for me. It worked with 300ms but I didn't want to take chances.

Set the closeClick parameter to false inside your function:
$(".video").click(function() {
$.fancybox({
width: 640,
height: 385,
helpers: {
overlay: {
closeClick: false
}
}
});
return false;
});

Just add following line to your function, you do not have to change anything in jquery.fancybox-1.2.6.js
callbackOnStart : function() {$("#fancy_overlay").bind("click","null");},

you can prevent the fancy box to close by applying these setting
'showCloseButton'=>false, // hide close button from fancybox
'hideOnOverlayClick'=>false, // outside of fancybox click disabled
'enableEscapeButton'=>false, // disable close on escape key press
get the fancybox setting from following link
http://www.fancybox.net/api

I had to use a combination of all of the above answers, as all of them include errors. Certainly, no editing of the source code is necessary.
In my case, I wanted to disable overlay clicks closing the box as I had a progression of questions that would be displayed sequentially inside the fancybox, so I didn't want users to lose their progress by accidentally clicking on the overlay, but wanted to keep that functionality elsewhere on the page.
Use this to disable it:
$(".fancybox-overlay").unbind();
Use this to re-enable it:
$(".fancybox-overlay").bind("click", $.fancybox.close);

Just use the following code:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a#Mypopup").fancybox({
"hideOnOverlayClick" : false, // prevents closing clicking OUTSIE fancybox
"hideOnContentClick" : false, // prevents closing clicking INSIDE fancybox
"enableEscapeButton" : false // prevents closing pressing ESCAPE key
});
$("a#Mypopup").trigger('click');
});
<a id="Mypopup" href="images/popup.png"><img alt="Mypopup" src="images/popup.png" /></a>

You can set the default closeClick on the overlay to false. Has worked for me in version 2.1.5.
$.fancybox.helpers.overlay.defaults.closeClick=false;
