Fancybox gallery without a href?

Question

I want to make fancybox gallery with img without using links (a href)? How i can do that?

HTML:

<div id="foo2">
        <img src="/images/banners/001.jpg" rel="downslider" alt="" width="80" height="80" />
        <img src="/images/banners/002.jpg" rel="downslider" alt="" width="80" height="80" />
        <img src="/images/banners/003.jpg" rel="downslider" alt="" width="80" height="80" />
        <img src="/images/banners/004.jpg" rel="downslider" alt="" width="80" height="80" />
        <img src="/images/banners/005.jpg" rel="downslider" alt="" width="80" height="80" />
        <img src="/images/banners/006.jpg" rel="downslider" alt="" width="80" height="80" />
        <img src="/images/banners/007.jpg" rel="downslider" alt="" width="80" height="80" />
        <img src="/images/banners/008.jpg" rel="downslider" alt="" width="80" height="80" />
.....
</div>

JS (now it works with single images, without gallery effect):

$("#foo2 img").click(function(e) {
        var url = $(this).attr('src');
        var rel = $(this).attr('rel');
        var content = '<img src="' + url + '" rel="'+ rel + '" />';
        $.fancybox({
            'transitionIn'  :   'elastic',
            'transitionOut' :   'elastic',
            'speedIn'       :   600, 
            'speedOut'      :   200, 
            'overlayShow'   :   false,
            'content' : content
        });
    });

Answer 1

You cannot have a gallery using the manual method .click() unless you set all the elements of the gallery inside the fancybox script itself like:

$("#foo2 img").click(function(e) {
 $.fancybox([
  'images/01.jpg',
  'images/02.jpg', // etc
  ],{
   // fancybox options 
   'type': 'image' // etc.
 }); // fancybox
}); // click 

However, to make it work the way you want and simulate a regular fancybox gallery without using links (<a> tags with a href attributes ), you would need to create your own function with your own custom navigation methods.

Without changing your HTML, try this JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
function fancyBoxMe(index){
 var gallerySize = $("#foo2 img").size();
 if((index+1) == gallerySize){ nexT = 0 } else { nexT = index+1}
 if(index == 0){ preV = (gallerySize-1) } else { preV = index-1}
 var tarGet = $('#foo2 img').eq(index).attr('src');
 $.fancybox({
  'transitionIn' : 'elastic',
  'transitionOut' : 'elastic',
  'speedIn' : 600, 
  'speedOut' : 200, 
  'overlayShow' : false,
  'href': tarGet,
  'titlePosition': 'inside',
  'titleFormat' : function(){
    return 'Image '+(index+1)+' of '+gallerySize+'<a id="preV" href="javascript:;" onclick="fancyBoxMe('+preV+')">prev</a> <a id="nexT" href="javascript:;" onclick="fancyBoxMe('+nexT+')">next</a>';
  }
 }); // fancybox
} // fancyBoxMe
$(document).ready(function() {
 $("#foo2 img").each(function(i){
  $(this).bind('click', function(){
   fancyBoxMe(i);
  }); //bind        
 }); //each
}); // ready
</script>

That creates a fancybox gallery from the <img> tags, with a nice cycling effect. Also, with a little of CSS we can have the navigation controls using the fancybox arrow icons. See a working example here.

Since the navigation control is totally manual, you don't actually need the rel attribute on the <img> tag.

Please notice that the code above is for Fancybox v1.3.x (I assumed you are using v1.3.x because the API options).

This worked for me:

$(".CLASSNAME").each(function(){

   $(this).fancybox({

       href : $(this).attr('src')

   });


});
