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

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:

 VIDEO

HTML MODAL VIDEO TEMPLATE:

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();
});
