[Plugin: Easy FancyBox] Turn off fancybox for mobile

With the current stable version, this is not possible.

However, if you install the current development version, this migh work:

if (Modernizr.touch){
  jQuery(document).unbind('ready');
}

Downside is that it will disable all javascript that is set to run un the ‘ready’ event.

There will be a better solution in a future version but for now, it might suit your needs ??

Or if you want to target all small screen devices (not only touch) or if you’re not using modernizr.js:

if(window.screen.width < 500 || window.screen.height < 500) {
  jQuery(document).unbind('ready');
}

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately, neither of these work for me, because I have other jQuery elements set to run on the ready event, which I need to work on touch devices.

Hi Leggo,

I just submitted a new dev version (.10dev17) which should allow the use of a named handler to ‘unbind’ fancybox like this

<script type="text/javascript">
if(window.screen.width < 500 || window.screen.height < 500) {
  jQuery(document).off('ready', easy_fancybox_handler);
}
</script>

(Are you using Gforms? Then you need to do the same for the ‘gform_post_render’ event)

If you could delete your current install of Easy FancyBox and install the new dev version to test this, I’d be grateful for your feedback ??

@ravanh, wow, thank you, this is fantastic. I will test at my first opportunity, which is probably tomorrow, and let you know what I find.

I am using Gravity Forms. Can you explain what you mean about the gform_post_render event? Do you mean that easy_fancybox fires on this event? Or that gforms itself will need to be disabled for mobile?

Then it needs to become

...
jQuery(document).off('ready gform_post_render', easy_fancybox_handler);
...

This seems to be working fine, thank you.

And I’m intrigued by some of what I see in the dev version! Any chance fancybox 2 is coming?

yes ??

@ravanh
Hello,
Are the changes you made to be able to turn off fancybox in the latest version 1.3.4.9? Couldn’t find ‘easy_fancy_handler’? If not, are you planning on releasing a new version with this change soon?
Thanks!
