Hello, 

I'm a new user to nyroModal and I have to say that it's really fantastic. 
But the documentation is not adequate... I can't seem to uderstand how to 
change the default css values. I used the manual function to open a new 
modal and it works great, but when I try to insert settings function to 
that manual it doesn't work and I can't find a way to do it... There's no 
example for it and nothing in the documentation.

As I just said in the  issue 41 , I have to find time to review the doc and wrote more
example.

If you would explain your problem, I'll be glad to help you and then add the solution
we'll found in the future examples.

example usage is not well explained.  only the html element code is provided, no the
javascript.  i can't understand for the life of me how to load new modal content from
within an existing modal for example...

I am in the same boat. All I want to do is add the gallery modal but I can't even
figure out how to initialize it. Would love to use this, any help would be appreciated.

If there is no javascript example, it's because the only javascript needed are jQuery
and nyroModal. There is some example which needs more javascript, and the code is
provided as well.
Yo open a modal, you simply need to add the nyroModal class.
To open a modal within a modal ? Add the nyroModal class on your links (as shown in
demoSent.php for example)

Regarding the gally, you'll need some links with the same rel attribute and the class
nyroModal, targetting an image. I don't see any trouble with that regarding what is
provided in the documentation page or the example page.

I'd have to agree. it's really some of the lamest doucmentation ever. If I was a 
jQuery expert, I wouldn't need documentation (or this plug in).
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say, there are lots of people who would happily pay 
for real doucmentation, or a zip file with more working examples.
(creator of jQuery, you could make THOUSANDS per month by offering a real manual a t 
a cost)

Lamest documentation ever? Are you kidding?
What about all the description about all the callback?

Don't forget that:
- I'm doing it for FREE. I'm spending many time on it just because I want to.
- This plugin isn't designed for dummy users. The target here is expert who knows
what they doing and how works javascript and jQuery.

If you want to, write this documentation you need and I'll be happy to link it.

I have to say that i agree. The documentation is for expert's only.
If you take a look at your examples, it doesn't have a simple example to how to
change some type of settings.
For example, you said that we can use $.fn.nyroModal.settings, directly on
nyroModal(), or $.nyroModalSettings(settings), but there is no example of using this
functions, the way to call it properly.

For example, I want to change some CSS for the wrapper, so, based on the
documentation, i tried this:
$.nyroModalSettings({
	css: {
		wrapper: {
		  zIndex: 101,
		  position: 'fixed',
		  top: '110px',
		  left: '50%',
		  marginTop:'0px'
		}
	}
});
$("a.nyroModal").nyroModal();

But, it doesn't work. I tried call the settings many different ways, but cant
understand how this work, and putting the {css:{}} inside the nyroModal() doesn't
work either.

It's a simple thing, but the documentation is too complicated and fail on explain
simple things.

But, nice work on the Modal, it is perfect, unfortunately, the advance features are
only for experts.

fleptronic, what you described is actually a bug!
the deep copy wasn't done greatly.
it'll be fixed in the next release.

regarding the documentation issue, I want to create a faq.
The problem is that I don't have too much time right now.

I'm trying to do my best to fix and answer your question, but the time is not
extensible...

Will keep an eye here to see when the Faq comes out.
Keep doing the good work on the modal.

hi, i've found a weird thingy, i got local apache (install on my laptop) without
changing anyting on the demo, guess what, it support to open up a model window. 
instead, the browser just jumped to another page.  I'm not sure why i wouldn't run
even with the original demo (no changes made).

please kindly provide some potential solution.

Thanks alot.

this has been a great plugin. one thing i noticed, manual close doesn't seem to work
when nyromodal is invoked manually? i set modal to true on loading it manually and in
the content i have there a close button, but for some reason it doesn't close.

On the topic of support and documentation..

Would you be willing to help some who donates as a show of gratitude and respect?

Simply I would like to use this tool/plug-in but like most users who are jquery or
java-script experts I am getting stuck.

I could provide paid support or paid stuff as I'm a freelance.
Check out http://nyrodev.com

But that's not the point of this plugin. If you're experiencing trouble while using
it, create a new issue and I'll help you, unless you ask me to create a whole web app...

I have an issue in NyroModal size feature.
1. Modal window automatically resizes even after initializing the height and width. It resizes to fit the main window and the content's max level.
I do not want it to stretch. I want it to be constant siz through out.

2. How do i dynamically pass the width and height of specific modal window from backend code. Such that each modal window is visible with specified size.

Please respond as soon as possible!
