Changing height of modal contents. Would like to also reposition it too. about bootstrap-modal

[Yohn]

I like the idea, I also have something like that in my script that changes the content of the modal, and its then pushed down halfway through the page..
the thing with doing something like that would be it would almost seem jumpy or glitchy kinda when the modal moves or jumps up and down the page when a different "tab" would be clicked

Yea, I think the jumpy nature is better than having the modal feel like it is at the bottom of the page. If it can be done with a nice slide effect like the fade.in effect, I don't think it'll be that bad.

I could potentially provide a reLayout function which would just reset the negative margins based on the height and width of the modal. This would also make the modal animate into it's new position. What I don't think I will be able to do without a lot of work is have the modal also animate to it's new height.

I've also had a similar use case but instead of actually redrawing the contents of a modal I wanted to open a new modal but reuse the same backdrop. So you would see the modal slide up and a new one slide down without having the backdrop fade in/out. I wonder if this behaviour is a little smoother and less jarring for the user? I'll be adding this feature in for 2.1 which is currently in the wip-2.1 branch but I'm not happy with the solution yet.

I'm ok with not animating to the new height. I'm also ok with slide up/down. You rock @jschr

[jschr]

Preliminary work is in the 2.1 branch. You'll notice there's a layout function in the modal class that you can use to reposition the modal at any time. Also added the ability to watch for window resize from the modalmanager. Right now that's opt-in because I'm concerned about potential performance issues when resizing but at least it's there.

closing as this functionality is now in 2,1

awesome! thanks @jschr
you got an example of how to use the repositioning of the modals?
I was trying $.fn.modal.layout(), $('.modal').layout() and a few others but that wasnt doing the trick for me

[jschr]

You call it just like the other modal functions such as hide/show i.e. $('.modal').modal('layout').

Hope that helps.
