Bootstrap 3 and Youtube in Modal

Question

I\'m trying to use the Modal feature from Bootstrap 3 to show my Youtube video. It works, but I can\'t click on any buttons in the Youtube video.

Any help on this?<

Answer 1

user3084135's answer worked well as a base for me, but I also needed to incorporate:

1. The "video" tag for locally-hosted video as well as the "iframe" tag for externally-hosted video
2. Ensure that the source was removed however the modal was dismissed
3. The solution worked in a Bootstrap responsive design
4. All videos auto-play on modal open
5. Multiple modals are possible

My finished solution looks like this:

MODAL TRIGGER BUTTON

<a href="#" class="portfolio-link" data-toggle="modal" data-frame="iframe" data-target="#portfolioModal1" data-theVideo="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xxxxxxxx">

The data-frame attribute can be either "iframe" or "video" to reflect the appropriate tag type: iframe for external vids, video for locally-hosted.

BOOTSTRAP RESPONSIVE VIDEO CONTAINERS

iFrame:

<div align="center" class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
  <iframe width="420" height="315" src="" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

video:

<div align="center" class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
    <video width="640" height="364" controls>
        <source src="" type="video/mp4">
        Your browser does not support the video tag.
    </video>                               
</div>

These both reside within the standard Bootstrap responsive modal divs.

JQUERY SCRIPT

<script>
 $(document).ready(function(){
    function autoPlayModal(){
      var trigger = $("body").find('[data-toggle="modal"]');
      trigger.click(function() {
        var theFrame = $(this).data( "frame" );
        var theModal = $(this).data( "target" );
        videoSRC = $(this).attr( "data-theVideo" ); 
        if (theFrame == "iframe") {
          videoSRCauto = videoSRC+"?autoplay=1" ;
        } else {
          videoSRCauto = videoSRC;
          $("[id*=portfolioModal] video").attr('autoplay','true');
        }
        $(theModal+' '+ theFrame).attr('src', videoSRCauto); 
        $("[id*=portfolioModal]").on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
            $("[id*=portfolioModal] "+ theFrame).removeAttr('src');
        })
      });
    }

  autoPlayModal();
});
</script>

Since autoplay works differently with iframe and video tags, a conditional is used to deal with each. To allow multiple modals, a wildcard selector is used to identify them (portfolioModal1-6 in my case).

Answer 2

I put together this html/jQuery dynamic YouTube video modal script that auto plays the YouTube video when the trigger (link) is clicked, the trigger also contains the link to play. The script will find the native bootstrap modal call and open the shared modal template with the data from the trigger. See Below and let me know what you think. I would love to hear thoughts...

HTML MODAL TRIGGER:

 <a href="#" class="btn btn-default" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#videoModal" data-theVideo="http://www.youtube.com/embed/loFtozxZG0s" >VIDEO</a>

HTML MODAL VIDEO TEMPLATE:

<div class="modal fade" id="videoModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="videoModal" aria-hidden="true">
  <div class="modal-dialog">
    <div class="modal-content">
      <div class="modal-body">
        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
        <div>
          <iframe width="100%" height="350" src=""></iframe>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

THE JQUERY FUNCTION:

//FUNCTION TO GET AND AUTO PLAY YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM DATATAG
function autoPlayYouTubeModal(){
  var trigger = $("body").find('[data-toggle="modal"]');
  trigger.click(function() {
    var theModal = $(this).data( "target" ),
    videoSRC = $(this).attr( "data-theVideo" ), 
    videoSRCauto = videoSRC+"?autoplay=1" ;
    $(theModal+' iframe').attr('src', videoSRCauto);
    $(theModal+' button.close').click(function () {
        $(theModal+' iframe').attr('src', videoSRC);
    });   
  });
}

THE FUNCTION CALL:

$(document).ready(function(){
  autoPlayYouTubeModal();
});

I have solved it on wordpress template:

$videoLink ="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRuVYkA8i1o;".   
<?php
    parse_str( parse_url( $videoLink, PHP_URL_QUERY ), $my_array_of_vars );
    $youtube_ID = $my_array_of_vars['v'];    
?> 
<a class="video" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal" rel="<?php echo $youtube_ID;?>">
    <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/assets/img/play.png" />
</a>

<div class="modal fade video-lightbox" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">    
    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header">
                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-body"></div>
        </div><!-- /.modal-content -->
    </div><!-- /.modal-dialog -->
</div><!-- /.modal -->

<script> 
    jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
        var $midlayer = $('.modal-body');     
        $('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {
            var $video = $('a.video');
            var vid = $video.attr('rel');
            var iframe = '<iframe />';  
            var url = "//youtube.com/embed/"+vid+"?autoplay=1&autohide=1&modestbranding=1&rel=0&hd=1";
            var width_f = '100%';
            var height_f = 400;
            var frameborder = 0;
            jQuery(iframe, {
                name: 'videoframe',
                id: 'videoframe',
                src: url,
                width:  width_f,
                height: height_f,
                frameborder: 0,
                class: 'youtube-player',
                type: 'text/html',
                allowfullscreen: true
            }).appendTo($midlayer);   
        });

        $('#myModal').on('hide.bs.modal', function (e) {
            $('div.modal-body').html('');
        }); 
    });
</script>

Answer 5

If you don't want to edit the bootstrap CSS or all of the above doesn't help you at all (like in my case), there's an easy fix to get the video running in a modal on Firefox.

You just need to remove the "fade" class from the modal and as it opens the "in" class, too:

$('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
    $('#myModal').removeClass('in');
});

Answer 6

For Bootstrap 4, which handles videos, images and pages...

http://jsfiddle.net/c4j5pzua/

$('a[data-modal]').on('click',function(){
	var $page = $(this).data('page');
	var $image = $(this).data('image');
	var $video = $(this).data('video');
	var $title = $(this).data('title');
	var $size = $(this).data('size');
	$('#quickview .modal-title').text($title);
	if ($size) { $('#quickview .modal-dialog').addClass('modal-'+$size); }
	if ($image) {
		$('#quickview .modal-body').html('<div class="text-center"><img class="img-fluid" src="'+$image+'" alt="'+$title+'"></div>');
	} else if ($video) {
		$('#quickview .modal-body').html('<div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9"><iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/'+$video+'?autoplay=1" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>');
	}
	if ($page) {
		$('#quickview .modal-body').load($page,function(){
			$('#quickview').modal({show:true});
		});
	} else {
		$('#quickview').modal({show:true});
	}
	$('#quickview').on('hidden.bs.modal', function(){
		$('#quickview .modal-title').text('');
		$('#quickview .modal-body').html('');
		if ($size) { $('#quickview .modal-dialog').removeClass('modal-'+$size); }
	});
});
