Send Parameter To Bootstrap Modal Window?

I have a problem, I cannot pass any parameters to a modal window (using Bootstrap 3), I tried using the solution stated in this link, but I cannot make it work: Dynamically load in

Solution 1:

There is a better solution than the accepted answer, specifically using data-* attributes. Setting the id to 1 will cause you issues if any other element on the page has id=1. Instead, you can do:

<buttonclass="btn btn-primary"data-toggle="modal"data-target="#yourModalID"data-yourparameter="whateverYouWant">Load</button><script>
$('#yourModalID').on('show.bs.modal', function(e) {
  var yourparameter = e.relatedTarget.dataset.yourparameter;
  // Do some stuff w/ it.
});
</script>

Solution 2:

First of all you should fix modal HTML structure. Now it's not correct, you don't need class .hide:

<divid="edit-modal"class="modal fade"tabindex="-1"role="dialog"aria-labelledby="myModalLabel"aria-hidden="true"><divclass="modal-dialog"><divclass="modal-content"><divclass="modal-header"><buttontype="button"class="close"data-dismiss="modal"aria-hidden="true">&times;</button><h4class="modal-title"id="myModalLabel">Modal title</h4></div><divclass="modal-body edit-content">
                ...
            </div><divclass="modal-footer"><buttontype="button"class="btn btn-default"data-dismiss="modal">Close</button><buttontype="button"class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button></div></div></div></div>

Then links should point to this modal via data-target attribute:

<a href="#myModal" data-toggle="modal"id="1" data-target="#edit-modal">Edit 1</a>

Finally Js part becomes very simple:

    $('#edit-modal').on('show.bs.modal', function(e) {

        var $modal = $(this),
            esseyId = e.relatedTarget.id;

        $.ajax({
            cache: false,
            type: 'POST',
            url: 'backend.php',
            data: 'EID=' + essayId,
            success: function(data) {
                $modal.find('.edit-content').html(data);
            }
        });
    })

Solution 3:

I found the solution at: Passing data to a bootstrap modal

So simply use:

 $(e.relatedTarget).data('book-id'); 

with 'book-id' is a attribute of modal with pre-fix 'data-'

Solution 4:

I have found this better way , no need to remove data , just call the source of the remote content each time

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.class').click(function() {
        var id = this.id;
        //alert(id);checking that have correct id
        $("#iframe").attr("src","url?id=" + id);
        $('#Modal').modal({ 
            show: true 
        });
    });
});
