Django Bootstrap Modal not working on everypage, works only on one page

Using Django Templates & Frontend
1

I created a modal pop up its Django Bootstrap Modal module ( django-bootstrap-modal-forms 2.2.0 )–it works fine but only on the user profile page. I want it to work on every page of the website, I have the button placed in the header.

Has anyone encountered t his issue before?

Here is my code:

view.py

from bootstrap_modal_forms.generic import BSModalCreateView



class BookCreateView(BSModalCreateView):
    template_name = 'tutorials/create_book.html'
    form_class = CreateTutorialForm
    success_message = 'Success: Book was created.'
    success_url = reverse_lazy('index')

def create_book(request):

	return render(request, 'tutorials/create_book.html', {

		})

forms.py

	class Meta:
		model = Book
		fields = ['title','author']

urls.py

	path('create_book/', views.BookCreateView.as_view(), name='create_book'),

javascript

	<script type="text/javascript">
	$(document).ready(function() {

	    $("#create-book").modalForm({
	        formURL: "{% url 'tutorials:create_book' %}"
	    });

	});
	</script>

is there anything out of place?

Are you getting any error messages in the browser JavaScript console?

Are you seeing requests for the form in the browser? Are you seeing those requests on the server?

3

There are no errors. Its just not working. I do see the hash sign “#” at the end of the url when i click on it but not the modal itself.

It only works on one page–the user_profile page.

4

Have you included the relevant JS files in the base template since you want this to work on all pages?

I got it work yesterday. I placed the modal html in the navigation.html file same file–where the button to initiate the modal resides and its now working. Before I had them in two different files.

Thank you anyways.
