Open modal on page load

Anonymous User — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 16:38:53 GMT

I see via the changelog you've added modal support through bootstrap.

Is there a way to open a modal on page load, instead of by button click? The internet seems to agree the only way to do this is through javascript or jquery.

I don't have any use for a modal click-popup window (at this time), but I could have used one for on-page-load. But it's not something I need. Just thought I'd see if it would add any value.

thanks

Unfortunately you cannot do this on page load (we must have tried the same sites). This feature is on our backlog as we have a customer requesting it.

We also have a need for this on page load. Want to have terms and conditions OK'd.

Any advice on how to approach this?

I am thinking there might be a way to do this with an iframe.

Thanks

Pat,

That's exactly what I envisioned using an onload-modal for. However, I'm concerned that it would pop up everytime someone goes back to the main page. I dont know if the available hooks (cookies, javascript, etc) are available to only have the modal open once per session.

Hi Graham,

I'd like to vote this up. I am also looking to add our terms as a pop-up on page load.

Thank you,

Vanessa
