Hi!
Here is my solution. I have modal_wrapper function. In controller file, I
have two controllers - main_page and modal_content:
def main_page():
main_pg=DIV(<any your content>)
m_cont = LOAD(f='*modal_content**.load*', ajax=True, ajax_trap=True )
dialog = modal_wrapper(m_cont, _id='*cont_id*', header='Header',
footer='footer')
show_modal_btn = BUTTON( 'Show modal',
_type="button",
_class = "btn
btn-default",
_onclick=""" $('#
*cont_id*').modal('show') """)
#don't forget to add dialog and show_modal_btn to main page
main_pg.append(show_modal_btn) # or main_pg.append( DIV(show_modal_btn)
) or something else
main_pg.append(dialog)
return dict(main_pg = main_pg)
# keep in mind just one thing:
# this controller is exposed by *.load, so it must return a dict of ONE
element
# to return more than one element - wrap all in one DIV:
# ret = DIV()
# ret.append( ... )
# ret.append( form )
# ret.append( ... )
# return dict(ret = ret)
def modal_content():
form = SQLFORM(...) # or even form = SQLFORM.grid(...)
return dict(form=form)
# means bootstrap 3
def modal_wrapper(content, _id, header='', footer=''):
main_wrap = DIV('', _class="modal fade", _role="dialog", _id=_id,
_tabindex="-1" )
title_id = _id + '_title'
main_wrap['_aria-labelledby']=title_id
dialog_div=DIV('', _class="modal-dialog" , _role="document")
content_div=DIV('', _class="modal-content")
header_div = DIV( _class="modal-header")
close_cross = BUTTON(
SPAN(XML('×'), **{'_aria-hidden':"true"}),
_type="button", _class="close",
data={'dismiss':"modal"},
**{'_aria-label':"Close"}
)
title_h4 = H4( header, _class="modal-title", _id = title_id)
body_div = DIV( content, _class="modal-body")
close_btn = BUTTON('Close', _type="button", _class="btn btn-default",
data={'dismiss':"modal"})
footer_div = DIV( footer, close_btn, _class="modal-footer")
# gluon all
main_wrap[0] = dialog_div
dialog_div[0] = content_div
header_div.append(close_cross)
header_div.append(title_h4)
[content_div.append(c) for c in (header_div, body_div, footer_div)]
return main_wrap
