Multiple Fancybox 2 Galleries issue with “rel”

Question

I've seen some questions that address similar issues but none of the fixes seem to work for my situation. Basically I have multiple fancybox galleries on one page throughout the site, and when one clicks through one slideshow on the site, it continues from one gallery to the next. I want the galleries/fancybox instances to remain separate from one another. Basically I need the "rel" catagories to keep galleries separate and not bleed into one another. Any help is much appreciated I've tried a few things but nothing seems to work.

Here's the only additional Javascript I've included to add social media buttons:

$(function(){
    $(".fancybox")
        .attr('rel', 'gallery')
        .fancybox({
            beforeShow: function () {
                if (this.title) {
                    // New line
                    this.title += '<br />';

                    // Add tweet button
                    this.title += '<a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="none" data-url="' + "http://drewalbinson.com/" + '">Tweet</a> ';

                    // Add FaceBook like button
                    this.title += '<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=' + this.href + '&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=500&amp;action=like&amp;font&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=23" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:110px; height:23px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>';
                }
            },
            afterShow: function() {
                // Render tweet button
                twttr.widgets.load();
            },
            helpers : {
                title : {
                    type: 'inside'
                }
            }  
        });

    });

Here is a simplified version of my HTML:

<!-- Gallery 1 -->

<div class="imagebox">
<a href="g1_img1.png" class="fancybox" rel="gallery1" title="1 of 2">

<img src="g1_img1_small.png" />

</a>

<a href="g1_img2.png" class="fancybox" rel="gallery1" title="2 of 2"></a>

</div>

<!-- Gallery 2 -->

<div class="imagebox">

<a href="g2_img1.png" class="fancybox" rel="gallery2" title="1 of 2">

<img src="g2_img1_small.png" />

</a>

<a href="g2_img2.png" class="fancybox" rel="gallery2" title="2 of 2"></a>

</div>

Thanks!

This part of your code :

$(".fancybox")
    .attr('rel', 'gallery')
    .fancybox({
    .... etc

...is overriding the rel attributes in your html. Just remove the .attr() method from it like :

$(".fancybox")
    .fancybox({
    .... etc

... and you will be fine.
