Is there any way to get a modal dialogue to open on page load (overlay the page)

i.e. the user is required to click something in the modal box (like a warning or a notice) to get the page to load?

Would be great to have this option with the editablity and flexibility that the current modal/button shortcode has.

modal shortcode open
Modal popup content
modal shortcode close

There isn't a way to get the modal to open up automatically, but I believe there should be plugins for this. What kind of information are you trying to add to the modal? A link? A Facebook Like box?

[paul_t]

Before the page opens, the user has the option to...

a ) click a link to go elsewhere
b ) agree to an information box - click the checkbox and open the page

(within the modal popup)

Went a different route

 

and yes - I know you shouldn't tinker with the actual code

 

but if you amend (slightly) the php class.shortcode.php for Bootstrap Modal Popup from line 1300

you then have a new parameter to use in the shortcode

"show" 

which can be false (default needs a button click to launch)

or true - whereby the modal loads over the page - straight away without the first button click

 

[pl_modal title="Title" type="btn" show='true' colortype="info" label="Click Me!"]

 

all seems fine - but not good to mod the original files so....

 

Question: Probably a Wordpress thing(still a bit new to modifying WP code) - but If I put the whole (modified) function in my child base theme's function.php

and revert the class.shortcodes.php  - it doesnt overwrite the function? confused

You can only define functions once, its a PHP thing.

 

Submit this as a ticket and we'll consider it for inclusion.

Did this get implemented? If it did the docs don't mention it?

[Simon_P]

Yes it did, just add show="true" to the modal shortcode.

Nice - spread the word in the Documentation.
