Examples

[justthisguy]

It seems reasonable to guess that using this gem is better than just loading colorbox.js and using through javascript . . . but after a bunch of searching, I have not found any good examples of how one would use it in a Rails way especially usual things like having a partial rendered inside or a hidden div.

It took me a while, two new routes and a partial but I got it working. Still, I cannot believe that this is the way that you intended.

I am happy to build a nice example wiki page for this project and create a pull request. If needed, I will create a small example app. Please post examples here or email them to me and I will get it built.

• This is the one I got working but needed an additional route:
  <%= link_to "Add something", new_something_path, data: { colorbox: true, inline: true } %>
• If someone could example how to make this work, I would be most appreciative:
  <%= link_to "link name", '#', data: { colorbox: true, href: 'id-of-some-div', inline: true } %>
• Examples of Photo and iFrame would be great as well.

Thank you!
