Boostrap modal only showing first record - asp.net-mvc

I have a modal that appears when a user clicks a delete link on my index page but this is only showing the first record regardless of what row is clicked, i think i'm missing something in the "#data_target" part of my code but unsure.
Code is as follows:
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
using (Html.BeginForm("Delete", "ModelName", new { id = item.ID }))
{
var myModal = "myModal" + item.ID;
<tr>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Account_Name)
</td>
<td>
#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.ID }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.ID }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Index", new { id = item.ID }, new { #class = "DeleteRecord", #data_target = "myModal" })
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" data-keyboard="false" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-sm">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<center>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Delete Record</h4>
</center>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<center>
Record ID :<span><b>#item.ID</b></span><br />
Account Name : <span><b>#item.Account_Name</b></span><br />
</center>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<center>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
<input type="submit" value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger" />
</center>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
}
}
and then the function is
<script>
$(function () {
$('.DeleteRecord').on("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
//perform the url load then
$('#myModal').modal({
keyboard: true
}, 'show');
return false;
})
})

Update you function as below. $(this).closest('td') will select parent td element of clicked .DeleteRecord button. Then it will find #myModal inside that td.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.DeleteRecord').on("click", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
//perform the url load then
$(this).closest('td').find('#myModal').modal({
keyboard: true
}, 'show');
return false;
});
});
In your code $('#myModal').modal(...);, this has used id selector which will always give you first element which has myModel id.

It should be data_targer="#myModal"

MVC refresh table data in modal using entity framework

good day. how can I refresh a modal table data? well, I have this textbox that when a user clicks show a modal pop-up. inside the pop-up is a partial view with the table and a search. When a user searches, instead of reloading the value in the modal, it redirects me to the partial view itself. I have seen a lot of examples like this one -- https://forums.asp.net/t/2098629.aspx?Advance+search+in+a+MVC+Popup+Window+ -- but still cannot go through it. its basically a modal popup but contains a partial view in it, once the search was clicked, just need to reload the table and no more. thanks in advance
Partial View Code:
public ActionResult ShowTaxPayer(int? page, string searchString)
{
var user = (from u in db2.Payers
select new Taxpayer
{
ID = u.objid,
Firstname = u.firstname,
Lastname = u.lastname,
Middlename = u.middlename,
Address = u.primaryaddress
});
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(searchString))
{
return View(user.ToList().ToPagedList(page ?? 1, 10));
}
else
{
return View(user.Where(s => s.Firstname.Contains(searchString)).ToList().ToPagedList(page ?? 1, 10));
}
}
Razor:
#using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Wizard", FormMethod.Post))
{
#Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<fieldset>
<div class="wizard-step">
#Html.Label("Taxpayer Name")
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.taxpayername, new { data_toggle = "modal", data_target = "#myModal", data_backdrop = "static", data_keyboard = "false" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.taxpayername)
</div>
<div class="wizard-step">
#Html.Label("Taxpayer Address")
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.taxpayeraddress)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.taxpayeraddress)
</div>
<div class="wizard-step">
#Html.Label("Trade Name")
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.tradename)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.tradename)
</div>
<div class="wizard-step confirm">
</div>
<p>
<input type="button" id="back-step" name="back-step" value="<-- Back" />
<input type="button" id="next-step" name="next-step" value="Next -->" />
</p>
</fieldset>
}
The Modal:
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
#{Html.RenderAction("ShowTaxPayer", "Wizard");}
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I just need to load the data from my model in the modal and not redirect me to the actual view. Thanks in advance.
Here the Model Popup
<div class="modal-body">
#{Html.RenderAction("ShowTaxPayer", "Wizard");}
</div>
and changed to
<div class="modal-body" id="popupTableName">
</div>
and Add Javascript
<script>
window.onload = LoadTable();
function LoadTable(){
$.get( '#Url.Action("actionName","ControllerName", new { id = Model.ID } )', function(data) {
$('#popupTableName').html(data);
});
}
function onChange(){
LoadTable();
}
</script>

Change modal form depending on the button clicked

I have a table showing the information of the users, with an edit button for each one.
I want to show a modal form with the details for the user I want to edit, but I don't know how to get the details from the list, and passing them to the modal as a model.
Here is my View:
#model MyApp.Models.User
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Users";
var roles = new List<string> { "Manager", "Admin" };
var userRoles = (List<string>)ViewData["userRoles"];
}
<h2>#ViewBag.Title</h2>
#if (userRoles.Any(u => roles.Contains(u)))
{
using (Html.BeginForm("Update", "Admin", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "update-form", value = "" }))
{
<div class="modal fade" id="user-editor" >
<div class="modal-header">
<a class="close" data-dismiss="modal"><h3>×</h3></a>
<h3 id="modal-title">Edit User</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="form-group">
#Html.Label("Name", new { #class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Name, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.Label("Age", new { #class = "col-md-2 control-label" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Age, new { #class = "form-control" })
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<a class="btn" data-dismiss="modal">Close</a>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="Save Changes" />
</div>
</div>
}
}
<table class="table-bordered table-hover" id="tbusers">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
#if (userRoles.Any(u => roles.Contains(u)))
{
<th>Edit</th>
}
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach (var u in users)
{
<tr id="#u.Id">
<td>#u.Name</td>
<td>#u.Age</td>
#if (userRoles.Any(u => roles.Contains(u)))
{
<td><a type="button" class="btn edit-btn" href="#user-editor" data-toggle="modal">Edit</a></td>
}
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
I've created a testing sample which will help you understand how can you achieve this.
Index.cshtml which will show a list of employees
#model IEnumerable<MvcApplication1.Models.Employee>
#using MvcApplication1.Models;
<h2>Index</h2>
<table>
#foreach (Employee item in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>#Html.ActionLink(#item.EmployeeName, "Name", new { id = item.ID })</td>
<td>
<button type="button" data-id='#item.ID' class="anchorDetail btn btn-info btn-sm" data-toggle="modal"
data-target="#myModal">
Open Large Modal</button></td>
</tr>
}
</table>
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-lg">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Details</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
At the same page, reference the following scripts
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-3.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="~/Content/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
JQuery AJAX call for getting/setting the data of individual employee from ActionMethod at the same page
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
var TeamDetailPostBackURL = '/Employee/Details';
$(document).on('click', '.anchorDetail', function () {
var $buttonClicked = $(this);
var id = $buttonClicked.attr('data-id');
var options = { "backdrop": "static", keyboard: true };
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: TeamDetailPostBackURL,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: { "Id": id },
datatype: "json",
success: function (data) {
debugger;
$('.modal-body').html(data);
$('#myModal').modal(options);
$('#myModal').modal('show');
},
error: function () {
alert("Dynamic content load failed.");
}
});
});
$("#closbtn").click(function () {
$('#myModal').modal('hide');
});
});
Now Create a class of Employee(because i'm not using EF)
public class Employee
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string EmployeeName { get; set; }
}
Create controller named Employee and 2 ActionMethods like these:
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View(emp);//sends a List of employees to Index View
}
public ActionResult Details(int Id)
{
return PartialView("Details",
emp.Where(x=>x.ID==Convert.ToInt32(Id)).FirstOrDefault());
}
I'm returning PartialView because I need to load a page within a page.
Details.cshtml
#model MvcApplication1.Models.Employee
<fieldset>
<legend>Employee</legend>
<div class="display-label">
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.ID)
</div>
<div class="display-field">
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.ID)
</div>
<div class="display-label">
#Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.EmployeeName)
</div>
<div class="display-field">
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.EmployeeName)
</div>
</fieldset>
<p>#Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index")</p>
When you execute and visit the Index page of Employee, you'll see screen like this:
And the Modal Dialog with results will be shown like this:
Note: You need to add reference of jquery and Bootstrap and you can further design/customize it according to your needs
Hope it helps!

Boostrap Modal not working on ASP.NET MVC

I have readed a lot of blogs and articles about showing MVC partial views using Boostrap modals. It seems that I have exactly what I'm seen on the material consulted but still it doesn't show the modal. I just need to show the partial view with the Album details in a modal. The controller is working fine when I load the URL through the browser.
This is the Index HTML code where the modal is shown:
<tbody>
#foreach( var album in Model.Albums)
{
<tr data-toggle="modal" data-target="#albumModal" data-url="#Url.Action("Album", new { id = album.Id })">
<td>#album.Title</td>
<td>#album.Artist</td>
<td>#album.Genre</td>
<td>#album.Year</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
Partial View

<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">

In almost all of the SO questions counsulted, they wasn't using data-target but I am. What do I need to modify to achieve that the modal shows?

Delete Confirm with Bootstrap modal in Asp.Net MVC

I am trying to make a dialog with bootstrap modal to confirm a delete. The delete works well, except it doesn't get the data which I select but it gets the first data in ID order from the database. I am new on client-side programming, so if someone could help me it would be nice.
The code is:
[HttpPost]
public async Task<ActionResult> Delete(int id)
{
RepFilter repFilter = await db.RepFilters.FindAsync(id);
db.RepFilters.Remove(repFilter);
await db.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
(razor)
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
using (Html.BeginForm("Delete", "RepFilters", new { id = item.ID }))
{
<tr>
<td>#index</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Description)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Report.Description)
</td>
<td>
#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.ID }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.ID }) |
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Delete</button>
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-sm" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Confirm Delete</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">Are you sure you want to delete: <span><b>#item.Description</b></span>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<input type="submit" value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
}
}
</tbody>
The button that opens the modal is getting the right ID, but the modal doesn't!
So how to make the modal take the adequate data to delete?
I am trying to avoid writing javascript and use data attributes, until there is no other choice
The modal this way has the same ID, no matter which data you try to delete.
So just add a variable to specify different ID for the mmodal:
using (Html.BeginForm("Delete", "RepFilters", new { id = item.ID }))
{
var myModal = "myModal" + item.ID;
<tr>
<td>...</td>
<td>...</td>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" data-toggle="modal" data-target="##myModal">Delete</button>
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade" id="#myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" data-keyboard="false" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-sm">
...........<!--And the rest of the modal code-->
There are actually quite a few things you may want to address in your view. You are looping through the items in your model, and creating a separate form (and modal)for each item. This is probably not ideal, however if you really want to do it this way you can add a reference to the item id within the html for the modal. Just add a hidden input and set it's value to item.id.
However, I would not recommend this approach. I'm not certain for your reasons on wanting to shy away from JavaScript, but the functionality you want to create here is actually pretty basic.
See this post: Confirm delete modal/dialog with Twitter bootstrap?
Edit:
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>#index</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Description)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Report.Description)
</td>
<td>
#Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.ID }) |
#Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.ID }) |
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" data-item-id="#item.ID" data-item-description="#item.Report.Description" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#confirm-delete">Delete</button>
</td>
</tr>
}
<div class="modal fade" id="confirm-delete" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-sm" role="document">

<div class="modal-header">

<div class="modal-body">

</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<input type="submit" value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
$('#confirm-delete').on('click', '.btn-ok', function(e) {
var $modalDiv = $(e.delegateTarget);
var id = $(this).data('itemId');
$modalDiv.addClass('loading');
$.post('/RepFilters/Delete/' + id).then(function () {
$modalDiv.modal('hide').removeClass('loading');
});
});
$('#confirm-delete').on('show.bs.modal', function(e) {
var data = $(e.relatedTarget).data();
$('.description', this).text(data.itemDescription);
$('.btn-ok', this).data('itemId', data.itemId);
});
</script>
You first write a delete function in jquery .for displaye confirm message you can use sweetalert and write a custom file for sweetalert.
yo must add refrence sweetalert css and script in your view page.
function Delete(id) {
var submitdelete=function(){ $.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("/mycontroller/Delete)',
type: 'Post',
data: { id: id }
})
.done(function() {
$('#' + id).remove();//if you want to delete table row
msgBox.success("Success","Ok");
});}
msgBox.okToContinue("warning", "Are you sure to delete ?", "warning", "ok","cancel", submitdelete);
}
Confirm dialog
var msgBox = {
message: {
settings: {
Title: "",
OkButtonText: "",
type:"info"
}
},
okToContinue: function(title, text, type, okButtonText,closeButtonText, isConfirmDo) {
swal({
title: title,
text: text,
type: type,
showCancelButton: true,
confirmButtonClass: 'btn-danger',
confirmButtonText: okButtonText,
cancelButtonText: closeButtonText,
closeOnConfirm: false,
closeOnCancel: true
},
function(isConfirm) {
if (isConfirm) {
isConfirmDo();
}
});
},
confirmToContinue: function(title, text, type, confirmButtonText, cancelButtonText, isConfirmDo, isNotConfirmDo, showLoader) {
if (!showLoader) {
showLoader = false;
}
swal({
title: title,
text: text,
type: type,
showCancelButton: true,
confirmButtonColor: "#DD6B55",
confirmButtonText: confirmButtonText,
cancelButtonText: cancelButtonText,
closeOnConfirm: true,
closeOnCancel: true,
showLoaderOnConfirm: showLoader
},
function(isConfirm) {
if (isConfirm) {
isConfirmDo();
}
});
} ,
success: function (title, text,okButtontex) {
swal({
title: title,
text: text,
type: "success",
confirmButtonText: okButtontex
});
},
info: function (title, text) {
swal({
title: title,
text: text,
type: "info",
confirmButtonText: "OK"
});
},
warning: function (title, text) {
swal({
title: title,
text: text,
type: "warning",
confirmButtonText: "OK"
});
},
error: function (title, text) {
swal({
title: title,
text: text,
type: "error",
confirmButtonText: "OK"
});
},
}
Here's an easy way to do this. You should be able to adapt what i did here to your case. This requires very little javascript code.
<script>
var path_to_delete;
var root = location.protocol + "//" + location.host;
$("#deleteItem").click(function (e) {
path_to_delete = $(this).data('path');
$('#myform').attr('action', root + path_to_delete);
});
</script>
<table class="table table-hover" id="list">
<thead class="bg-dark text-white">
<tr>
<th>

</th>
<th>

</th>
<th>

</th>
<th>
ST/OT/DT
</th>
<th>

</th>
<th>

</th>
<th>
Pending?
</th>
<th>
Delete
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
#foreach (var item in Model)
{
<tr>
<td>
<a class="btn btn-sm" href="~/Employees/TerminationEdit/#item.Employee_Termination_Info_Id">
<i class="fa fa-lg fa-pencil-alt text-dark"></i>
</a>
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Employee_Name_Number)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Effective_Date)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Employee_Time)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Employee_Other_Pay)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Job_Name)
</td>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Pending)
</td>
<td>
<a id="deleteItem" class="btn btn-sm" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#deleteModal"
data-path="/Employees/TerminationDelete/#item.Employee_Termination_Info_Id">
<i class="fa fa-lg fa-trash-alt text-danger"></i>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
}
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- Logout Modal-->
<div class="modal fade" id="deleteModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="exampleModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Are you sure?</h5>
<button class="close" type="button" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">
<span aria-hidden="true">×</span>

<div class="modal-body">Are you sure you want to delete this termination record? <br /><span class="text-danger">This cannot be undone.</span></div>

#Html.AntiForgeryToken()

}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
So what happens here, is that the page will cycle through the model and draw the delete button (using font awesome). Note that here is is setting the data-path attribute for later use. When the button is clicked, it sets the form action for the button on the modal popup immediately. This is important, since it has a form around the delete button, it will send it to a POST and not a GET, as Rasika and Vasil Valchev pointed out. Plus, it has the benefit of the anti-forgery token.

Can't seem to get AngularFire '$update' working

I’m pretty new to Angular, Firebase and AngularFire, so it's probable I'm going about this the wrong way.
Basically I have a form in a modal(UI Bootstrap) and I want to update some previously stored values, but AngularFire ‘$update’ doesn’t update them in Firebase. Creating and deleting items outside the modal is working fine.
This is within my service:
updateItem: function (id, item) {
var item_ref = new Firebase(FIREBASE_URL + ‘/items/‘ + user_id + '/' + id);
var item = $firebase(item_ref);
item.$update({
name: item.name,
notes: item.notes
});
}
This is within my controller:
$scope.edit = function(id) {
$modal.open({
templateUrl: 'views/item.html',
backdrop: 'static',
keyboard: false,
resolve: {
data: function() {
return {
title: 'Edit item',
item: Items.getItem(id)
};
}
},
controller: 'EditItemCtrl'
})
.result.then(function(item) {
Items.updateItem(item.$id, item);
});
};
This is my modal controller:
app.controller('EditItemCtrl', function ($scope, $modalInstance, data) {
$scope.data = data;
$scope.ok = function(item) {
$modalInstance.close(item);
};
$scope.cancel = function() {
$modalInstance.dismiss();
};
});
This is my modal template:
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button class="close" style="margin-top: -10px;" type="button" ng-click="cancel()">×</button>
<h3>{{data.title}}</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<form name="editItem" role="form" novalidate>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="itemName">Item name</label>
<input name="name" type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Item name" value="{{data.item.name}}" ng-model="data.item.name">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="sr-only" for="itemNotes">Item notes</label>
<textarea name="notes" class="form-control" rows="2" id="itemNotes" placeholder="Notes" ng-model="data.item.notes" ng-maxlength="500">{{data.item.notes}}</textarea>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-default" type="button" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" ng-click="ok(editItem.data.item)">OK</button>
</div>
</div>
Stepping through everything shows that the item to be updated and new values are being passed through to the service, but they're not making their way into Firebase.
I'm guessing that I'm probably going about this the wrong way though - any guidance would be much appreciated.
