I’m using the latest version of Roots and trying to add FancyBox. This worked fine on my last Roots site, but it was using the previous Grunt file.

I placed the FancyBox folder into the js/plugins dir, added the function to \_main.js and then added the line ‘assets/js/plugins/fancybox/js/\*.js’, to the jsFileList in grunt.js.

When I load the page I get an invalid token error.

I’m at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated?

Since you added Fancybox to `assets/js/plugins` instead of loading it with Bower, you do not add it to `jsFileList`. `jsFileList` already has `'assets/js/plugins/*.js'`

You should be installing Fancybox with Bower, and then adding the path to the unminified JS in the `assets/vendor/fancybox/` directory to `jsFileList`

Ah, ok. Thanks Ben!  
Had a tight deadline and didn’t get a chance to familiarize myself with Bower.

It’s working now, thanks again!

Well, I loaded fancyBox using bower and I added `'assets/vendor/fancybox/source/jquery.fancybox.js'` to `jsFileList`. Cool! But what about CSS (`jquery.fancybox.css` file) and images?

@popsy: This is going to be solved in the upcoming release of Roots… until then…

Check out these instructions I gave on loading bxSlider: [How to adding a Responsive jQuery Slider to Roots](http://discourse.roots.io/t/how-to-adding-a-responsive-jquery-slider-to-roots/1295/3?u=julienmelissas)
