seems to be broken again in WordPress 2.8.4

goes right to the link as a page instead of opening in a lightbox. Would love to see this working…

Cheers

Will Schmancy-Box work in 2.8.4? My link/image opens normally (navigates away from the page) instead of spawning a Schmancy box.

Ok, problem solved. Using fancybox for wordpress with iframes and only to those links I want.

Schmancy not activated at the moment. Dont know if it’s a conflict with nextgen gallery. But I was able to get fancybox for WP working, even at the same time when nextgen lightbox was on so it opened two popup boxes at the same time. But the problem with fancybox for WP is that it applies it for every possible instance and I’d like to use the effect on selected elements that would open an iframe containing a webpage with some info on it.

With schmancy it doesn’t give any errors or indicate any conflicts but it just doesnt pop up. Just navigates away on a link.

Hi Riku,
Do you have a link I could look at?

Hi there,
So Schmancy is supposed to open a webpage/iframe too, not just pictures and videos? Cause I’m not getting it to work. I have defined the class name as Schmancy in the options, referring to it in the link tags (class=”Schmancy”) properly, using rel=”nofollow” and everything, but the link still opens normally (navigates away from the page) instead of popping up in a schmancy box.

Any ideas?

Hi Dave,

The website linked is using MooTools & two different versions of jQuery. I would imagine there are a lot of conflicts and I’m not sure that you will be able to resolve it without quite a lot of work.

You could try deleting the line in SchmancyBox that calls jQuery (around line 102)

Otherwise I would advise trying to work with only one JavaScript framework as this will lessen the conflicts.

Let us know how you get on

Hi George, thanks for the quick response.

My apologies, I had actually defined the class in the link as you have shown above already, but double checked to make sure i had everything right ( i think)

You can see it in use here.

Hi Dave, As well as defining the class in the options menu, you will need to add it to the link you wish to fancy box, e.g. Hope this helps.

Hi there,

I am clearly doing something wrong.

Using the below

does not work at all, it goes right to the link instead of opening in the lightbox.
I have made sure that the class is “Schmancy” in the plugin settings.

I can not get it to work in basic images either.

Any help would be fantastics. Thanks!
