How to display different posts using Modals - ruby-on-rails

I'm new to RoR and I've encountered a problem recently as I am trying to display different posts in different modals. To contextualize I have a Home page on which is displayed every post. Every post contains an author, a content, a like button and a comment button. I want the comment button to open a modal containing again the author's name, the content and an area to comment the post. The problem is that every modal that I click on contains the same author and the same content even if the comment button I clicked on is from a different post. To be precise the content displayed in the Modal is from the most recently posted post. Tell me if you need something in particular and I will be happy to edit this post with the code you'll ask me.
Displaying the posts:
<% #posts.each do |post| %>
<div class="media">
<a class="media-left" href="#">
<div class='circle-icon'>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user" aria-hidden="true"></span>
</div>
</a>
<div class="media-body">
<h2 class="media-heading"><%= post.user.first_name %> <%= post.user.last_name %></h2>
<h4><%= post.content %> </h4>
<br>Submitted <%= time_ago_in_words (post.created_at) %> ago<br>
<%= button_to like_post_path(post), method: :put do %>Like<%= post.get_upvotes.size %>
<% end %>
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-comment"></span> Comment
And here is my Modal:
<!-- Modal -->
<div class="modal fade .local-modal" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
<div class="modal-dialog" 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"><%= post.user.first_name %> <%= post.user.last_name %></h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p><%= post.content %> </p>
<hr>
<fieldset class="form-group">
<label for="exampleTextarea">Write your comment:</label>
<textarea class="form-control" id="exampleTextarea" rows="3"> </textarea>
</fieldset>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" >Like</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-dismiss="modal">Comment</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is my JS Script:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover();
$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover({ html : true});
});
$('#popover').popover({
html : true,
title: function() {
return $("#popover-head").html();
},
content: function() {
return $("#popover-content").html();
}
});
</script>

Is it possible to put a modal inside a card?

I have a modal that's inside a Bootstrap Card for a confirmation if the user really wants to cancel a booking. The problem is that it doesn't show up when clicked. I see the fade effect and that's about it.
<% if Date.current.strftime('%Y-%m-%d') == data.formatted_date_time_for_comparison %>
<%= f.submit 'Cancel Booking', class: "btn btn-danger" %>
<% else %>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" data-bs-toggle="modal" data-bs-target="#myModal">Cancel Booking</button>
<div class="modal fade text-dark" id="myModal">
<div class="modal-dialog modal-sm">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3 class="modal-title">Confirm Cancellation</h3>
<button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="modal"></button>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
Are you sure you want to cancel this booking?
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<%= f.submit 'Cancel Booking', class: "btn btn-danger" %>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-bs-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<% end %>
It compares the current date to the date of the booking's departure date and it gives a submit button straight to the controller, which in turn rejects it because cancelling on the same date isn't allowed. If that's not the case it gives a button for a modal to activate.
I'm mostly sure it's because of it buried beneath divs, specifically divs with bootstrap card classes.
Here are its parent divs:
<div class="margin-top" style="width: 600px;">
<div class="bg-dark p-3 rounded">
<h3>Reservations</h3>
</div>
<div id="accordion" class="mt-3 mb-4">
<div class="card bg-dark">
<% #reservations.reverse().each do |data| %>
<a class="btn text-light card-header" data-bs-toggle="collapse" href="#id-<%= data.id %>">
<div class="row" style="text-align: left;">
<div class="col">
<strong>Name: </strong><%= data.name %><br><br>
<!-- other records -->
</div>
<div class="col">
<strong>Departure: </strong><%= data.departure %><br>
<!-- other records -->
</div>
</div>
</a>
<div id="id-<%= data.id %>" class="collapse" data-bs-parent="#accordion">
<div class="card-body">
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
<strong>Base Price: </strong><%= data.base_price %><br>
<!-- other records -->
</div>
<div class="col d-flex align-items-end justify-content-end">
<%= form_for #cancellation, url: del_rsrv_path do |f| %>
<%= f.hidden_field :id, value: data.id %>
<%= f.hidden_field :datetime, value: data.formatted_date_time_for_comparison %>
<!-- code posted above here -->
I checked and it does work just below the first div (didn't check on deeper divs), but the problem would be passing the form params there. I'm asking if there's a workaround in either situation.
EDIT: I renamed the data-bs-target name and its respective id name and it somehow works now.

bootstrap modal does not show,only showing backdrop

I have posted this before but no one has reply me on my problem. However, after trying for few days. I encountered something funny.
My View Code
<% provide(:title, "Log in") %>
<div class="center jumbotron">
<h1> Kaching </h1>
<div class = "row" >
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<%= form_for(:session, url: login_path) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :logID, "Log ID" %>
<%= f.text_field :logID %>
<%= f.label :password %>
<%= f.password_field :password, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.submit "Log In", class:"btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Trigger the modal with a button -->
<button type="button" class="btn btn-info btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Open Modal</button>
<!-- Modal -->
<div id="myModal" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
<div class="modal-dialog">

<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function(){
$('#myModal').modal('show');
});
</script>
When i include the code, the modal box will appear when i load the page. However, my modal still will not appear when i press the button. I do not understand why. It will only work when i include bootstrap.js in my /assets/javascripts folder. However, this affects my tab that i implement on my other page. I try loading just the bootstrap-modal.js file, but it did not work also. Please guide me on this.
Thanks

Rails Bootstrap Modal not appearing

I have included Bootstrap modal inside my page. But my page just gets grey out when i press on the button and no pop dialog appears. However, when i press the ESC button, the dialog flashes once before exiting. Another instance i tried was, i included //= bootstrap/modal inside my application.js file. Inside this file i also had the line //= bootstrap. When i have both of this line included, the modal only stays for less than 1 second when i press the button.
Below is the code of my view page,
<% provide(:title, "Log in") %>
<div class="center jumbotron">
<h1> Kaching </h1>
<div class = "row" >
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-3">
<%= form_for(:session, url: login_path) do |f| %>
<%= f.label :logID, "Log ID" %>
<%= f.text_field :logID %>
<%= f.label :password %>
<%= f.password_field :password, class: 'form-control' %>
<%= f.submit "Log In", class:"btn btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">

There seems to be no issue regarding your code. For the sake of clarity, i will be explaining all the step regarding modal implementation.
steps
1. include bootstrap.js in your JavaScript, and kindly check there is only bootstrap.js or bootstrap.min; both of them should not present.
2.Modal calling step should be
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary success" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Login
</button>
3.On calling the modal, the codes are
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel">
<div class="modal-dialog" 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">Please Login</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="col-xs-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="user name">
<input type="password" class="form-control" placeholder="password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary info">Login</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Rails form above Twitter Bootstrap modal

I'm trying to create a newsletter subscription from scratch using rails 4 and Twitter Bootstrap 3 modal.
I created a Subscriber model and subscribers controller which contains a 'create' method.
The button which openes the modal has to appear anytime, so I included it in the navbar that is placed in the application.html.erb layout view file.
This is the code I used for the modal: (in views/layout/application.html.erb)
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" 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"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span><span class="sr-only">Close</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Newsletter Subscriptions</h4>
</div>
<% form_tag(controller: 'subscribers', action: 'create') do %>
<div class="modal-body">
<p><%= text_field_tag :email, params[:email] placeholder: "Enter your email address" %></p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
<p><%= submit_tag "Subscribe", class: "btn btn-primary" %></p>
</div>
<% end %>
</div>
</div>
</div>
For some reason it won't show anything in the modal except the title.
Where am I going wrong?
You just need to use <%= form_tag instead of <% form_tag.
In previous versions of Rails, <% form_tag was used I think, but since form_tag is outputting html, it should be used with <%= %>.

how to not improve this code to not repeat the twitter bootstrap modal?

I have a Project that have many Pictures. I am using the first picture as a link to call a twitter bootstrap modal, where some information will be displayed as well as the link for the project`s page.
<!-- Modal -->
<div id="<%= project.id %>" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h3><%= project.title %> <small><%= project.sub_title %></small></h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p><%= ActionView::Base.full_sanitizer.sanitize (project.description) %></p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Close</button>
<%= link_to 'More Details', project_path(project), class: 'btn btn-primary' %>
</div>
</div>
In order to get the modal working for each project, I have added the project.id to the Modal id. So, I am actually creating many modals, one for each project.
<% #projects.each do |project| %>
<%= link_to (image_tag project.pictures.first.url), "##{project.id}", class: 'btn', role: 'button', data: { toggle: 'modal' } %>
<%= render 'projects/modal', project: project %>
<% end %>
Well, everything is working fine, but I don't like it! It will became a loading problem if I have many projects.
So, I would like to find a way to not load all modals. I would like to have one modal template that is populated by the project information.
Any idea on how to improve it?
NOTE: I don't have rails set up at the moment, so can't test this directly, but should work:
Put the following generic modal code into the modal partial:
<div id="genericModal" class="modal hide fade" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h3></h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<p></p>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">Close</button>
<%= link_to 'More Details', nil, class: 'btn btn-primary' %>
</div>
</div>
Include the following at the top of your view:
<script>
function populateModal(projectId) {
$(".modal-header").find("h3").html($(projectId).find("#p_title").html());
$(".modal-body").find("p").html($(projectId).find("#p_desc").html());
$(".modal-footer").find("a").attr("href", $(projectId).find("#p_link > a").attr("href"));
$("#genericModal").modal('show');
}
</script>
Then further down in your view, you can do something like this:
<%= render 'projects/modal' %>
<% #projects.each do |project| %>
<%= link_to (image_tag project.pictures.first.url), html => {:onclick => "populateModal('##{project.id}')", :class => 'btn', :role => 'button'} %>
<div id="#{project.id}" class="hide">
<span id="p_title"><%= project.title %> <small><%= project.sub_title %><small></span>
<span id="p_desc"><%= ActionView::Base.full_sanitizer.sanitize (project.description) %></span>
<span id="p_link"><%= link_to project_path(project) %></span>
</div>
<% end %>
Create a single modal, not one for each project. Use javascript to open the modal on each link (instead of data-toggle="modal") and before you do, set the project's title, subtitle, description and link using Javascript.
