Prevent fancybox from opening

How to prevent fancybox from opening? What can I do? I tried to return false in beforeShow, but it doesn't have any effect, and fancybox opening as if nothing happened. What can I do to prevent fancybox from opening? @mikestreety @krike @PiDelport @fancyapps @supermueller

Hi,

Why don't you just do the opposite way - initialize fancybox if needed. You could also create your own click handler and then start fancybox manually if needed.

But it's not a solution. Sometimes I need to prevent fancybox from opening.

@Charon89 you did not mention where you want to prevent fancybox from opening - within some callback or not. You can always create you own click handler where you use event.preventDefault(); so that Fancybox will not catch click event and will not start.
