Reopen modal OR open two modals in the same page?

  • Hi Yannick,

    I’ve looked through the support forum and saw on several places that neither of these two options are possible with your plugin, However, I want to ask again. How can I make the modal open twice on the same page? I need one and the same modal open after, let’s say, 30 seconds, and then again after 2 minutes.

    I’m asking again since I already use your plugin for almost all of my projects, and it would be tedious to change the plugin for just this one feature.

    I’ve tried hard-coding it into your modal-dialog.php lines 721-726:

    $output .= "\t\tsetTimeout(\n";
	$output .= "\t\t\tfunction(){\n";

	$output .= "\t\t\t\tmodal_dialog_open();\n";

	$output .= "\t\t\t}, 30000);\n";

	$output .= "\t\tsetTimeout(\n";
	$output .= "\t\t\tfunction(){\n";

	$output .= "\t\t\t\tmodal_dialog_open();\n";

	$output .= "\t\t\t}, 120000);\n";
	$output .= "\t};\n";

    and the modal does re-open, but loses its content.

    I understand you say that Modal Dialog is not meant to be used this way, but I would really appreciate any guideline from your side. Do you think this could be done with a simple closure callback, or by modifying any JavaScript etc?

    Thanks in advance.

    Which of the two modal dialog rendering libraries are you using fancybox or colorbox? I know that fancybox had issues with losing its contents if you tried to re-open it. Fancybox should not have any trouble.

    I just ran a test, making sure I had fancybox selected as pop-up dialog script and then setting the closure callback to:

    setTimeout(function(){modal_dialog_open();}, 120000);

    And it opened after the designated timeout. Please review Modal Dialog and consider supporting its development.
