Use fancybox with rails 3.1 asset pipeline.
This gem vendors jquery fancybox 2 for Rails 3.1 and greater. The files will be added to the asset pipeline and available for you to use.
First add the following lines to your applications Gemfile:
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'fancybox-rails'Then run bundle install to update your application's bundle.
Now you need to edit your app/assets/javascripts/application.js
file and add the following line:
//= require jquery
//= require fancyboxAnd then edit your app/assets/stylesheets/application.css file to
look something like:
/*
*= require_self
*= require fancybox
*= require_tree .
*/That's it!
With the gem installed and included in your asset manifests, you can now use fancybox as you normally would.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a.fancybox").fancybox();
