Help with AngularJS Modal

Hi..
I have a controller that opens a modal window.
How can I change the templateUrl value when the modal window is opened?

$ionicModal.fromTemplateUrl('modal-details.html', {
scope: $scope,
animation: 'slide-in-up',
hardwareBackButtonClose: true
}).then(function (modal) {
$scope.modal = modal;
});

// Open window here..

$scope.openModal = function(selected){

// How can I change the templateUrl based on the selected value?

$scope.data.selected = selected;

you might try something like this, though I have not actually tested it.

in the controller:

var self = this;
var templateurl = 'default-template'

$ionicModal.fromTemplateUrl(templateurl+'.html', { // so we don't mix dot notation with bracket notation
    scope: $scope,
    animation: 'slide-in-up'
  }).then(function(modal) {
    self[templateurl] = modal; // creates a modal object on the this context with the same name as the template
  });

  $scope.openModal = function(templateurl) {
    self[templateurl].show();
  };

Open in new window

in the view:

  <a ng-click="openModal('my-custom-template')">Open my custom template</a>

Open in new window

I get

JavaScript runtime error: Unable to get property 'show' of undefined or null reference

at

self[templateurl].show();

any ideas ?

thx

yeah.. i thought that might happen. it's too late. the modal is alteady initialized with the default template. if you want to test my theory you could set the default templare variable to the same one that you pass in the click function. if it works, then my theory is correct, otherwise something else is screwey and i'd have to set up an app to test it.

unfortunately it doesn't appear that ionic modal service has the capabilty of specifying a template at run time

Kyle Hamilton

you could also try having separate instances of the ionic modal that use different templates. in the .then function set $scope.anotherModal = modal

then, do

$scope.anotherModal.show()

does that make sense? (typing on phone)
