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

Durandal activate function call several times

The following code cause two calls in the activate function of the taginfos viewmodel, WHY ?
$(oTag).fancybox({
'overlayShow' : true,
'width' : 800,
'height' : 500,
'autoScale' : true,
'transitionIn' : 'elastic',
'transitionOut' : 'elastic',
'type' : 'iframe',
'scrolling' : 'no',
'href' : 'http://localhost:1135/#/taginfos/' + item.tagId
});

You must not use jquery plugins inside the activate function. The DOM is not ready and the jquery selector might not find anything to give to fancybox. Put all your jquery plugin calls inside veiwActivated function. This may not be a direct answer to your question
Here is an example: (Look at the question section)
Fancybox v2 not working with Durandal

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'
}
);

Open html page within fancybox

Ive looked for some examples online but i couldn't fund any.
how can i upload a new html within fancybox?
$('#Create').click(function() {
$.fancybox({
What should be the content over here?
(lets say i want to load stackoverflow.com)
});

The documentation is right on the site, you can use an iframe:
$("#iframe").fancybox({
'width' : '75%',
'height' : '75%',
'autoScale' : false,
'transitionIn' : 'none',
'transitionOut' : 'none',
'type' : 'iframe'
});
HTML
This goes to iframe
or
<a id="iframe" href="http://www.example">This goes to iframe</a>
You can find all that info here: http://fancybox.net/howto

Load new content in Fancybox on Fancybox onClosed event

I'm stuck with a problem with Fancybox windows. I use fancybox to display the content of a hidden div on my page (".popup" fancybox below). In that content, there is a link to a new fancybox content called #exemple. When I click on the link in the first fancybox, it loads the second fancybox content (iframe - this works fine). But I'd like to come back to the first fancybox when the user hits the close button of the second fancybox.
I tried with "onClosed" event but it doesn't work ...
Is there a way to do that?
Thank you in advance for your help!
Here is the code I use :
$("#exemple").fancybox({
'width' : '100%',
'height' : '100%',
'titleShow' : true,
'titlePosition' : 'over',
'titleFormat' : formatTitle,
'autoScale' : false,
'centerOnScroll' : true,
'type' : 'iframe',
'onClosed' : function() {
alert('test');
$(".popup").trigger('click');
}
});
$(".popup").fancybox({
'autoScale' : false,
'centerOnScroll' : true
});
// and here is the HTML code to trigger the hidden div:
<a style="font-weight: bold;" href=#data class=popup>our data</a>
//and the HTML code of the link inside the hidden div that gets displayed in the fancybox:
<a id=exemple title="xxx" href=xxx.php?id=xxx>link</a>

I was working with same thing and onClosed was not working. After lots of research I figured out that there is some kind of versioning problem and onClosed works in older versions of fancy box. The other approach, which worked for me, is as following using beforeClose instead of onClosed.
‘beforeClose’: function() { alert(‘test’) },
This might be helpful for some of the readers.

It would help if you had a jsFiddle to work from, but first try wrapping the onClosed function code in a setTimeout. A zero time should be sufficient:
'onClosed' : function() {
setTimeout(function(){
$(".popup").trigger('click');
}, 0);
}

'onClosed'=> 'js:function() { alert("test") }',
note : we need to put "js:"
i m calling fancybox automatically (using extension)
It is Working fine for me
