Make links open in lightbox (colorbox) a breeze
in your application.css
//= require colorbox-rails
in your application.js
//= require colorbox-rails
Then enable link to be displayed in colorbox by simply adding :colorbox => true attribute. E.g.
<%= link_to "My superb link", "#", :data => { :colorbox => true } %>
<a href=“#” data-colorbox=“true”>My superb link</a>
Add attributes inside the :data block
<%= link_to "My superb link", "#", :data => { :colorbox => true, :colorbox_height => '300px', :colorbox_width => '300px', :colorbox_iframe => true } %>
