Issue
Toggling a modal with Javascript from another modal creates a conflict with the .modal-backdrop. Solutions I have thought of require me to make some functions to count .modal-backdrop but it breaks Bootstrap's native modal-dismiss behavior. I think maybe there could be better way that incorporates Bootstrap's native CSS (fade, etc.) without additional functions?
Here is my current working example
Ultimate Goal
Create a modal that can toggle another modal while retaining Bootstrap's default CSS. Also eliminate .modal-backdrop from creating more than one instance.
Background
I am creating a "parent" form that can be built dynamically (with JQuery) based on user input. Two sections of the form, "Add System" and "Add Circuit", will require an additional "child" form that will be placed inside a modal, outside the scope of the parent form (This helps avoid nesting one form inside the parent form). The reason I want to separate the user inputs from the parent and child forms is because the child form inputs may have different JQuery validation rules than the parent form (i.e., the data is not required to create a CSD, but if you want to add a system/circuit then I want to make sure you give me all the necessary data to create those objects). If a user wants to Add a system or a circuit:
they click the "Add System/Circuit" button where the 1st modal appears.
The user is prompted with a form to search for an existing one or create a new one.
If the user decides to "Add New System/Circuit", then a different modal appears.
The user is prompted with a form to enter the relevant data.
Here is my javascript function creating the modals. I am generating the modal dynamically based on the option the user chooses. One thing to note, since I am creating these modals in the same function, I want to make sure my function deletes the existing modal content too. (That's why I added the line
if (modalWrap !== null) {
modalWrap.remove()
}
at the beginning of my function)
var modalWrap = null
function create_dynamic_csd_modal(modal_type, section_type) {
if (modalWrap !== null) {
modalWrap.remove()
}
modalWrap = document.createElement("div")
if (modal_type == "new") {
if (section_type == "system") {
var modalContent = `
<div class="modal-header">
<h1 class="modal-title">Add New System</h1>
</div>
<div class="modal-body" style="height: 50vh;">
[...]
</div>
`
} else if (section_type == "circuit") {
var modalContent = `
<div class="modal-header">
<h1 class="modal-title">Add New Circuit</h1>
</div>
<div class="modal-body" style="height: 50vh;">
[...]
</div>
`
}
modalWrap.innerHTML = `
<div class="modal fade csd-add-new-${section_type}" tabindex="-1">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-dialog-centered modal-dialog-scrollable modal-xl">
<div class="modal-content">

`
} else if (section_type == "circuit") {
var modalContent = `

`
}
modalWrap.innerHTML = `

</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
`
}
document.body.append(modalWrap)
var modal = new bootstrap.Modal(modalWrap.querySelector(".modal"))
modal.show()
if ($(".modal-backdrop").length >= 1) {
$(".modal-backdrop").not(":first").remove()
}
}
$(document).on(
"click",
"form.create-csd-series button.add-system, form.create-csd-series button.add-circuit, form.csd-add-existing-system button.add-system, form.csd-add-existing-circuit button.add-circuit",
function(e) {
var button = this
var modal_type = null
if (button.classList.contains("add-system")) {
var section_type = "system"
} else if (button.classList.contains("add-circuit")) {
var section_type = "circuit"
}
if (button.closest(".modal") !== null) {
modal_type = "new"
}
create_dynamic_csd_modal(modal_type, section_type)
},
)
The idea is once the data inside the "child" form is entered and the user clicks "Add" in the modal - the data from this form will populate the parent form in a consolidated view. All the inputs' attributes (like name='some_input_name', id='some_input_id', etc.) from the child form will be transposed into the parent form that match validation rules for it. The user could then edit/delete that data before submitting the parent form to the server. (something like this).

So I have a list of web urls, all fetched from SQL and has an id, an address etc.
I list them in a table using the following:
<div>
<div class="well" margin-left:20px; margin-right:20px">
<h2 style="margin-left:20px; margin-top:10px">Control Added Links</h2>
<table class="table table-bordered">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
Link Address
</th>
<th>
Check Interval
</th>
<th>
Status
</th>
<th>
#
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach (var i in links)
{
<tr>
<td>
#i.Address
</td>
<td>
#i.Interval
</td>
<td>
#if (i.Status)
{ <text> ON </text>}
else
{ <text> OFF </text>}
</td>
<td>
<a href="~/Control/Delete/#i.Id">
✖
</a>
</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
</div>
"links" here is a list of Link models:
#{
var links = (List<Link>)ViewData["LinkInfos"];
}
Right now, there is an X button you can click to delete a link from database, by using i.Id of the item 'i'. What I want to do is, ask for a confirmation with a modal, instead of directly deleting.
I delete the link with a function inside controller using the follownig:
public ActionResult Delete(int Id)
{
UserLinks links = new UserLinks();
links.delete(Id, User.Identity.Name);
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
I changed this code, managed to pass the data from button to modal:
<a data-toggle="modal" data-id="#i.Id" data-request-url="#Url.Action("Delete", "Control")" title="Delete link" class="delete-Link btn btn-danger" href="#deleteLink">
✖
</a>
<div id="deleteLink" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<!-- Modal content-->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Test</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
This will delete all records related to this link. Are you sure?
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="deleteConfirm()">Yes</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" data-dismiss="modal">No</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
var myLinkId
var url
$(document).on("click", ".delete-Link", function () {
myLinkId = $(this).data('id');
url = $(this).data('request-url');
$(".modal-body #linkId").val(myLinkId);
// As pointed out in comments,
// it is superfluous to have to manually call the modal.
// $('#addBookDialog').modal('show');
});
function deleteConfirm()
{
debugger;
$.post(url), { Id: myLinkId };
}
</script>
But problem right now is passing this data from modal to controller. I wrote the "deleteConfirm" function but it doesn't seem to work, it doesn't go to ~/Control/Delete.
First part of my question is actually solved, I can pass id from button to modal, but I am not sure if it is properly solved so I am asking for that too, I currently pass the id using JavaScript but wonder if I can directly pass from button to modal itself.
I managed to fix my issue and properly delete by creating a modal for each item... which I assume is the sloppy way and can be a problem when I have like, let's say 100 links.
One solution I have in mind but don't know how to implement:
Have a "globalId" parameter inside view, when a button is clicked, i.Id is assigned to globalId, then open the modal, which has globalId as a parameter inside. Just like with , use inside modal, which changes by deletion button you click. But problem is, don't know how to create this global parameter and assign i.Id to it with click of a button.
A way I think I can implement my possible solution:
I want to have a variable in a view, let's say int globalId.
Let's say I press the delete button for id = 10, what I want to happen is simply have "global = id" so I want to assign 10 to number. If id of button is 12, I want "global = id" to happen again, this time to assign 12 to number.
So this way, modal will just use globalId, so I can make it have:
Yes
This way, there will only be one modal, every button will open the same modal and modal will use the same variable. Just value for globalId assigned to this modal will change with click of a button.
Question is, how can I create this local variable and how can I simply assign a new value to this local variable?
I have made some changes in your view which make this possible to work. I have added one hidden field in model and store the id on show event of the model. And on confirm id is get from this hidden field to construct the post url.
<a data-toggle="modal" data-id="#id" data-request-url="#Url.Action("Delete", "Home")" title="Delete link" class="delete-Link btn btn-danger" href="#deleteLink">
✖
</a>
<div id="deleteLink" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<input type="hidden" id="linkId" />
<!-- Modal content-->
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Test</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
This will delete all records related to this link. Are you sure?
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" onclick="deleteConfirm()">Yes</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" data-dismiss="modal">No</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
$('#deleteLink').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
$("#linkId").val($(e.relatedTarget).data('id'));
});
function deleteConfirm()
{
var url = "#Url.Action("Delete", "Control")/" + $("#linkId").val();
$.post(url).success(function () {
location.href = "#Url.Action("Index", "Control")";
});
}
</script>
I want to duplicate the behavior for uploading images in Slack in my chat app.
Currently, you can click a button in the area where you enter a message, and that brings up a modal where you can drag and drop files using Dropzone.js. That’s great.
However, I also want the entire page (document body) to be a dropzone as well. So when you drag a file onto the screen, I want the previously mentioned modal to pop up, with the dragged file loaded.
I tried adding this to the bottom of the page, but no dice:
<script>
// Make whole page a dropzone for image uploads
new Dropzone("#body", { // Make the whole body a dropzone
url: "/upload/url", // Set the url
previewsContainer: "#modal-image-uploads .modal-body #previews" // Define the container to display the previews
});
Dropzone.options.filedrop = {
init: function () {
this.on("complete", function (file) {
if (this.getUploadingFiles().length === 0 && this.getQueuedFiles().length === 0) {
$('body').append("<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'rooms/modals/image_uploads') %>");
}
});
}
};
</script>
The error in the console is: Uncaught Error: Invalid previewsContainer option provided. Please provide a CSS selector or a plain HTML element.
Here's what the modal looks like:
<div class="modal fade" id="modal-image-uploads" tabindex="-1" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Upload Image</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div id="previews" class="dropzone-previews"></div>
<form action="/file-upload"
class="dropzone"
id="my-awesome-dropzone"></form>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I'm trying to display a modal dialog when data is submitted on my create view. I need the modal to force the submit to wait for user confirmation on the modal dialog. Then the data needs to be submitted. Below is my create view code using bootstrap 3.0 modal-dialog:
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name, new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input id="create" type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default"/>
</div>
</div>
<div id="modalBox" class="modal">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">X</a>
<h1>Confirmation</h1>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<h6>Click YES to confirm</h6>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button id="noPost" class="btn btn-default" name="postConfirm" value="false" data-dismiss="modal">No Thanks</button>
<button id="yesPost" class="btn btn-primary" name="postConfirm" value="true" data-dismiss="modal">YES</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#section scripts{
<scripts>
$(function () {
var modalBox = function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#modalBox").modal({ show: true });
};
$("#create").click(modalBox);
});
<scripts>
}
This does interrupt the submit function and brings up the modal dialog but I don't know how to submit the data back to the controller once a selection is made on the dialog. I have also tried using the jquery ui modal dialog with the script below:
<script>
$("#create").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#postModal").dialog("open");
});
$("#postModal").dialog({
autoOpen: false,
width: 400,
resizable: false,
modal: true,
buttons: {
"No Thanks": function (data) {
$("#create").submit();
$(this).dialog("close");
},
"YES": function () {
$("#create").submit();
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
</script>
This does bring up the modal dialog but I still can't get it to submit the model data back to the controller. Any help would be appreciated.
UPDATE
By inspecting the produced html I discovered my input fields resided within a form that I didn't put there. I suspect this is due to me using the #Html.ValidationSummary(true) or something built into MVC. So instead of using:
$("#create").submit();
I used:
$("form:first").submit();
To submit the first, and only form, on the page and it worked!
Change your create button type to type=button, and make it to just open modal view. And make your yespost button in modal div holder to type submit . Also you can try to put whole modal div holder inside your form-group div. Here you are making post before openning modal view. It s because your button have 2 logic task, separate those task and this should work.
I have a bootstrap modal dialog that is inside a form. The form is submitted via AJAX. I want the submit button to also dismiss the modal (otherwise i end up with the modal overlay remaining)
Code for the modal is:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("SaveConfiguredReport", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, UpdateTargetId = "report-details", OnBegin="preProcessing" }))
{
<div class="modal fade" id="add-filter-dialog" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="add-filter-dialog" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h4>Add a Filter</h4>
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p>Adding filters allows you to sort what data will be included in the report. These filters will be default for all ongoing usage of this report.</p>
<div id="field-templates"></div>
<input type="hidden" id="field-template-id" name="FieldTemplateID" />
#Html.DropDownList("OperatorID", Model.Operators.Select(x => new SelectListItem { Text = x.Name, Value = x.OperatorID.ToString() }))
<input type="text" name="FilterValue" class="typeahead" id="filter-value" />
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success" data-dismiss="modal" name="Command" value="Add">Add Filter</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
<!-- other code -->
<script>
function preProcessing() {
$('.modal').each(function (index, element) {
$(element).modal('hide');
});
}
</script>
If i keep the data-dismiss attribute on the submit button, it will dismiss the form but not submit it. If i remove it, the form will be submitted but not dismissed. Anyone had any luck with this?
EDIT
I have added a pre-processor to the AJAX call to hide all forms at the start. Hiding them at the end did not work because the form was replacing the modal but not the overlay. This is a workaround until a proper solution is suggested
What I usually do is close it via Javascript after the form has been validated and AJAX post/get was successful.
$('#add-filter-dialog').modal('hide');

I want to show modal(encouragementModal) only when user clicks on Encourage button.
Configuration
GSP View _encourage.gsp is :
<div ng-controller="EncouragementController">
<g:if test="${notEncouraged}">
<button class="btn" ng-click="openEncouragementModal()">Encourage</button>
<div modal="encouragementModal" close="closeEncouragementModal()" options="opts">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3>Encourage!</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
You are about to encourage with {{amount}}.
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-info cancel" ng-click="encourage()">Confirm</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning cancel" ng-click="close()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
</g:if>
<g:else>
Thank you for encouraging.
</g:else>
The EncouragementController.js is
function EncouragementController($scope, $http) {
/**
* open payment dialog
*/
$scope.openEncouragementModal = function (amount) {
$scope.encouragementModal = true;
};
$scope.closeEncouragementModal = function () {
$scope.closeMsg = 'You canceled the encouragement’;
$scope.encouragementModal = false;
};
$scope.opts = {
backdropFade: true,
dialogFade:true
};
}
EncouragementController.$inject = [ '$scope', '$http'];
Question
Only the Encourage button should have been visible for the first time, but what I see is button along with the encouragementModal and it's buttons.
So, how do I do that?
References I followed
[1] Modal (ui.bootstrap.modal)
[2] Simple Grails + AngularJS Example
You need to hide it at first and only display it when scope.encouragementModal value is true.
<div modal="encouragementModal" ng-show="encouragementModal" options="opts">
