How to cancel opening popup with beforeClose callback ? #magnific-popup

I'm using a MagnificPopup with a beforeClose callback and I'd like to cancel its opening depending on a condition. How can I do that ?

I tried a return false, or a $.magnificPopup.close(); but it still opens...

I'm sure there is a basic solution !

Thanks

Use disableOn

disableOn: function(){
    if ($(window).width() <= 768){
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}

(Optional): This won't stop the default behavior of the DOM element triggering the popup.

If you're using an anchor tag that loads a Youtube video in a popup:

  • the disableOn will stop the popup from opening

  • the browser will follow the URL of the anchor tag's href!

To stop this from happening, add an additional check on the DOM element's click handler:

// Stop an anchor tag's default behavior
// Otherwise if it's a Youtube video, clicking this DOM element will land users on Youtube
$("a.my-popup").on("click", function(){
    if ($(window).width() <= 768){
        return false;
    }
});

It's a little bit tricky, but you can do it by opening the popup directly at initialization:

var popupDefaults = {
    type: 'inline',
    fixedContentPos: false,
    fixedBgPos: true,
    overflowY: 'auto',
    closeBtnInside: true,
}

$('.open-popup-link').on("click", function(){
    var condition = false;
    if(!condition){
      $(this).magnificPopup(popupDefaults).magnificPopup('open');
    }
});

fiddle

If you change the condition to true, the popup will not open.

what you can do is to overwrite the javascript function that creates the popup if your condition is true. like:

var originalOpen = window.open;
if (condition) {
    //prevent open new window
    window.open = function(){return null;};
}

// after window open attempt
window.open = originalOpen

you could do this with alert, and any kind of message box.

another way would be to modify magnificPopup...
