Use fancybox 1.3.4 with rails 3.1+ asset pipeline.
This gem vendors jquery fancybox for Rails 3.1 and greater. The files will be added to the asset pipeline and available for you to use.
First add the following lines to your applications Gemfile:
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'fancybox-rails'Then run bundle install to update your application's bundle.
Now you need to edit your app/assets/javascripts/application.js
file and add the following line:
//= require jquery
//= require fancyboxAnd then edit your app/assets/stylesheets/application.css file to
look something like:
/*
*= require_self
*= require fancybox
*= require_tree .
*/With the gem installed and included in your asset manifests, you can now use fancybox as you normally would.
jQuery(function() {
$("a.fancybox").fancybox();
});If you're using CoffeeScript you can use the plugin in the same way.
jQuery ->
$('a.fancybox').fancybox()If you want to customize the fancybox assets you can copy the assets
from the gem into your application's lib/assets/ directory.
$ rails generate fancybox_rails
If you want to see what files will be created without actually creating
them, run the generator with the --pretend option.
If you want to use fancyBox 2.0 then check out fancybox2-rails.
Please be aware that the license has changed in the new version and you'll need to purchase one if you intend to use that fork for commercial purposes.
