How to open a magnific popup on page load?

Question

I'm using Magnific Popup and I would like to have a video come up as soon as the page loads in a popup.

I got the plugin to work fine, but I have no idea on how to get it to pop up as soon as the page loads, without clicking on the thumbnail.

I looked around for a solution, but I did not manage to get it to work.

If you're using jQuery you could just listen for the window load event and then call the open method for your Magnific Popup like so:

(function($) {
    $(window).load(function () {
        // retrieved this line of code from http://dimsemenov.com/plugins/magnific-popup/documentation.html#api
        $.magnificPopup.open({
            items: {
                src: 'someimage.jpg'
            },
            type: 'image'

          // You may add options here, they're exactly the same as for $.fn.magnificPopup call
          // Note that some settings that rely on click event (like disableOn or midClick) will not work here
        }, 0);
    });
})(jQuery);

I was able to get a timed modal working using jquery's setTimeout function, Just wrap .magificpopup in the settimeout function to set a delay. Change the value of 5000 (5 seconds) to whatever value you want.

See below:

$(document).ready(function () {
setTimeout(function() {
 if ($('#myModal').length) {
   $.magnificPopup.open({
    items: {
        src: '#myModal' 
    },
    type: 'inline'
      });
   }
 }, 5000);
});
