need click twice after hide a shown bootstrap popover

Answer 1

I recently came across this bug and this is how I fixed it:

$('.myPopoverClass')
    .popover({
        trigger: 'manual', /* <- important, instantiates popover */
        container: 'body', /* optional */
        animation: false
    })
    .click(function(e) {
        $('.popover').not(this).hide(); /* optional, hide other popovers */
        $(this).popover('show'); /* show popover now it's setup */
        e.preventDefault();
    });

Answer 2

Simply use this:

$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover('toggle');

Instead of:

$('[data-toggle="popover"]').popover();

Answer 3

make sure popover will be initialized only once.if it will be initialized more than one time across different files you may get this problem.

$('[data-toggle=popover]').popover({
    placement : 'bottom'
});

Answer 4

It's a bug in v3.3.5:

Just use 3.3.4 for now until it is fixed.

Answer 5

Still not fixed in 3.3.6 but I found a proposed solution here:

https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/16732

https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/17702/files#diff-f3e99e0bb007ace7a370f0492b9cb5abR340

I've applied it in the hidden event:

$('body').on('hidden.bs.popover', function (e) {
    $(e.target).data("bs.popover").inState.click = false;
});

This works for me. To be exactly the same as the proposed fix it would be:

$('body').on('hidden.bs.popover', function (e) {
    $(e.target).data("bs.popover").inState = { click: false, hover: false, focus: false }
});

Note: I use delegated popovers which is why i'm using the $('body') reference.

For Bootstrap 4 use _activeTrigger instead of inState:

$(e.target).data("bs.popover")._activeTrigger.click = false

Answer 6

I had a popup that fades out after 3 secs and needed double click to reopen it. Followed Darren's solution and it worked.

$(function () {

    $('#popLinks').popover({
        html: true,
        trigger: 'manual',
        animation: true
    });

    $('#popLinks').click(function () {
        $(this).popover('show');
        setTimeout(function () {
            $('.popover').fadeOut('slow');
        }, 3000);
        e.preventDefault();
    });    
});
