Bootstrap Modal

I just purchased bootstrap model to create a modal window. Specifically to use when they click an edit link in a view I created. Nothing special about the view, lists some info from a form I made (user accounts as I also am using the user management plugin) and each user has an edit link. The link is active and works fine if I just redirect to the normal page without any code about it being modal. When I changed it to modal, all I get is a black semi transparent screen appear, I have cleared cache etc and tried different browsers and no luck.

Here is the link within the table column I have made: <td>Edit User Details</td>

The form is set to use ajax as the instructions pointed out. Any thoughts what may be happening?

How is your edit link constructed? The link in your post points to the add-on. It's not helpful.

Maybe this will help you:

Apologies. The link I created was based on the documentation. Below is what I have tried I have removed the square brackets and added **// and //** so it shows as text

**//frmmodal type="formidable" id=12 label="Edit User"//**

Normal link is

**//editlink label="Edit User" page_id=3680//**

I don't think the modal add-on can be used to do what you want. When the page is generated, the modal form is inserted in its entirety and hidden in the page footer. When you click the modal link, it simply displays the hidden empty form. In order to populate the form with data, you would have to somehow pass the entry id to the form and execute an Ajax call to retrieve the details from the database. I would have to spend a few hours on this to figure out how to do this for you. The time required is beyond the scope of what I can do for you as a community volunteer.
