2 months day for day after the first release of plugin nyroModal, it's time to make a first overview.
Let's start with some numbers:
- Visits: 28 800
- Unique Visitors: 23 660
- Pages viewed: 26 039
- 11 Releases (the 1.2.7 just came out)
- 2 859 download (and more made directly in the jQuery plugin page where there is no stats available)
The problem with this kind of script, you never know where it's used. I can't make a long list here.
- Tripkick: No glory here, I developed this website during my internship in Fluidesign
- Wedding website of Brock and Kristina: integrated by my colleague, I help him to correctly place the button. PJ spoke about it here
- Sling Media (Screenshot tab)
- Right here, for the pictures
And maybe elsewhere that I didn't hear about... If you're using it (or saw it somewhere), don't hesitate to write a quick comment here.
This is the first open-source script I did. And the experience is great, regarding the numbers shown aboce, and the quotes below. More than 2000 visits the second day after the first release. I didn't thought it could be so much in this time. Then the numbers calmed down to around 300 daily visits (less during the weekend).
I had a proposal from the New-York Times to integrate my script in a future website. But I didn't get any news...
If you still hesitate between open-source or keep it for you, especially for a javascript code, don't hesitate! If this script is good, you'll have some return for sure. Event if it's not directly in money or contract, you'll gain recognition from others developers, but more important, Experience! You'll learn that you have to make many tests (and maybe more...) before every releases, and retest everything everytime in every browser.

I think the code should more looks like:
$('a#MyId').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
// Retrieve data via web Services here and affect the vars
var width = 300;
var height = 300;
var content = 'Here is the content of the modal';
$.fn.nyroModalManual({
width: width,
height: height,
content: content
});
});
If it doesn't help or you still have a problem, please fill a bug here by attaching the files or sending a link where I can see the problem.

Hi Dan,
I'm not sure to understand what want to do, but it looks like you can do it by using the endRemove callback function.
Please read the callback section of the doc for more information: nyromodal.nyrodev.com/#ca...
If you still need help, please fill an issue in the google page: code.google.com/p/nyromod...

sorry for my bad english.
after a ajax-request within a modal window:
after the close of the modal window (endRemove), i will execute a function in depending on the result of the ajax-request. For example a page reload.

I don't see any problem with that.
Just do your ajax request in the endRemove callback function and do whatever you want regarding the result.

merci pour le plugin,
serait-il possible d'avoir un bout de code permettant, lors de la fermeture de la modale, de raffraichir la page courante ? Merci beaucoup d'avance et bravo pour tout ce boulot!

Hi, can I show a div after I close the modal window?
I'm using this code to open it manually. I have a swf animation it's displayed over the overlay color even if I changed the z-index from my animation, so what I'm doing is hiding before the window is displayed and it works, but I need a function to redisplay it when the window is closed, what I'm trying to do is this, but is not working.
$.nyroModalManual({
content:$('div#ratesTable').html(),
width: 420,
endRemove: $(#flashcontent).show()
})
Thanks

Mr.Nyro, Sorry to disturb you in here.. This is my problem and thanks.
1. I show the list of hotels in the page, munnarmist.com/munnar-hot... (URL is rewrited)
When the page loads up, and if we click on the hotel name, the Nyro Modal will work fine, and the content of the Modal Window, is loaded via Ajax using a file hotel_singleview.php.
2. If the list of the hotels is loaded via Ajax, if you click on the checkboxes like hotel, resort, homestay, the content will be loaded using Ajax
3. And in the Ajax loaded content, if you click on the hotel name, Nyro Modal will not work.
What is the expected output? - The expected output is a Nyro Modal, and it wont come up in the Ajax loaded content.
What do you see instead? Instead of seeing the Nyro Modal, I see the plain PHP file, because, I used Database to fetch data from the database.
What version of the product are you using - I use the latest Nyro Modal and Jquery
On what operating system? OS is Windows
