Question

it is possible to show a link to the raw image in popup window of Fancybox?

Answer 1

I did this here: http://photocontest.highpoint.edu/

I had to hack/customize Fancybox to achieve this.

The biggest problem I had was that Fancybox creates clickable areas to go to the next/previous images. These clickable areas take 100% of vertical space. That means you couldn’t click on links below FancyBox. It took a bit of jQuery to manipulate CSS to work around that.

This is my javascript function to fix Fancybox CSS:

function fix_fancybox_css() {
  if ($("div#fancybox-content a").length>0) {
    $("#fancybox-left, #fancybox-right").css({
      'height':Math.floor($("div#fancybox-content a:visible").position().top)+'px',
      'top':'0px',
      'bottom':''
    });
  }
}
