Nested modals don't work: opening a modal from a modal closes the original

Issue Summary

  • #46 Describes the problem as to why the issue is happening which generally narrows down to hard coding of html ids for modal opening and closing command.
  • #48 Provides a solution so that each open and close command can work with separate modal ids, It also provides a solution for media library form.
  • #73 Extracts the open and close command modifications from #48 so that it can be merged with core first and then for each individual case a separate issue and patch can be added.

Proposed resolution

  • Review and merge #73 or #48 in core.
  • Create individual issues for each possible use case like media library, Ckeditor etc.
  • Add the change records.

Original Post

I am currently looking into running CKEditor in a modal dialog using the Drupal Modal API.

At this moment it is working OK, but there is a problem with the link and image modals which can be triggered from the CKEditor interface. Those also use the Modal API and when triggering one of these functions, the modal containing CKEditor is fully closed.

Is there any way to open de link/image modal without closing the CKEditor modal? It seems like it is possible to define the HTML element to which the modal should append when triggering. When overriding this setting ('appendTo' => '#foo'), even the link/image modals are appended to #foo (instead of the default '#drupal-modal').

Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks for your support.

  • Needs usability review

    Used to alert the usability topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the usability of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. When adding this tag, make it easy to review the issue. Make sure the issue summary describes the problem and the proposed solution. Screenshots usually help a lot! To get sign-off on issues with the "Needs usability review" tag, post about them in the #ux channel on Drupal Slack, and/or attend a UX meeting to demo the patch and get direct feedback from designers/UX folks/product management on next steps. If an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the general "user experience" of Drupal, use Needs product manager review instead. See the scope of responsibilities for product managers.

  • Needs accessibility review

    Used to alert the accessibility topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the accessibility of Drupal, and their signoff is needed (see the governance policy draft for more information). Useful links: Drupal's accessibility standards, the Drupal Core accessibility gate.

  • Needs change record

    A change record needs to be drafted before an issue is committed. Note: Change records used to be called change notifications.
