[SOLVED] Fancybox doesn't work in chat

[phenomlab]

For those of you using Fancybox, you’ve probably noticed that it doesn’t seem to work in Chat since the upgrade to v3. Looking at the function, it’s pretty obvious why

if (top.location.pathname !== '/login') {
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).on('action:ajaxify.end', function(data) {
            this.$('a').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                data.preventDefault()
                // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :)
                $('blockquote img').remove();
            });
            Fancybox.bind(
                'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]', {
                    groupAll: true,
                }
            );
        });
    });
}

The function above targets a href where in fact, in the chat window, it doesn’t exist - it’s just an img tag

Not very helpful, so I will need to modify this function. I’ll advise as soon as I have it working in case you want to use on your own forums

Ok, this will work. Chats are now handled differently, so the two below functions need to be added to your custom js

// Chat fancybox - fires when chat module loaded and AJAX calls new chat
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(window).on('action:chat.loaded', function(data) {
            this.$('img').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                var newHref = $(this).attr("src");
                $(this).wrap("<a class='fancybox' href='" + newHref + "'/>");
                $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                data.preventDefault();
                // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :)
                $('blockquote img').remove();
            });
            Fancybox.bind(
                'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]', {
                    groupAll: true,
                }
            );
    });
});

EDIT: Sorry all, I found a bug that causes Fancybox to be bound twice.

Please remove the original functions I provided (the original post has been updated for anyone who did not use the original code and is new here) and replace with just this block

// Chat fancybox - fires when chat module loaded and AJAX calls new chat
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(window).on('action:chat.loaded', function(data) {
            this.$('img').not('.forum-logo').not(".avatar").not(".emoji").not(".bmac-noanimate").each(function() {
                var newHref = $(this).attr("src");
                $(this).wrap("<a class='fancybox' href='" + newHref + "'/>");
                $('a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]').addClass("noanimate");
                data.preventDefault();
                // Strip out the images contained inside blockquotes as this looks nasty :)
                $('blockquote img').remove();
            });
            Fancybox.bind(
                'a[href*=".jpg"], a[href*=".jpeg"], a[href*=".png"], a[href*=".gif"], a[href*=".webp"]', {
                    groupAll: true,
                }
            );
    });
});
