Modal windows in the backend

[Gideon So]

Hi,

I am building a module which lists some pages in a table with edit add new and delete button. I would like to have a modal window when the edit or add new button is clicked. Do I need to implement a third party js plugins or there is some built-in function in ProcessWire??

Try adding pw-modal to your links. If it doesn't work, you will need to get jQuery modal first from the core modules.

Hi,

Tried. Doesn't work. How to get jQuery modal??

[tpr]

$this->modules->get('JqueryUI')->use('modal');

After that you should be able to see the modal if your link has the "pw-modal" class.

If you need to add buttons to the modal, follow the instructions in "\wire\modules\Jquery\JqueryUI\modal.js"
