Question

I am using the fancybox plugin version 2.0.6

I am trying to change the overlay opacity as detailed in the documentation, but can’t get it to work. Can anyone advise on how I might be doing this wrong.

Thanks.

Here’s what I have:

    $(function () {
        $(".fancybox")
        .attr('rel', 'gallery')
        .fancybox({
            padding : 0,
            margin : 0,
            arrows: false,
            closeBtn: false,
            closeClick: true,
            openEffect : 'none',
            openSpeed : 100,
            closeEffect : 'none',
            closeSpeed : 100,
                helpers : {
                    title : null,
                    speedIn: 0,
                    speedOut: 0,
                    opacity: 0.8,
                }
            });
        });

Answer 1

Try the helpers option this way:

helpers : {
 overlay : {
  speedIn    : 0,
  speedOut   : 0,
  opacity    : 0.5
 },
 title : null
}

EDIT (Sept 12, 2012) : The option helpers =>overlay=>speedIn has been removed since fancybox v2.1. It’s still valid for v2.0.6 and below.
