Modal error rerenders whole page beneath modal (same behavior if class = modal fade)

[Jacubeit]

Hi,
thanks for the great work!
The Modal error Handling seems to have an issue. If I just press "Request Invitation" without providing an email, I get an error inside the modal. This is defined by

<div id =" request-invite" class="modal" style="display: <%= @user.errors.any? ? 'block' : 'none'; %>

So far this is great!

I now added some pictures to the page (beneath the modal) wrapped in a seperate div, but on error it will render the whole page again. see attached image.

Seems like the same behavior when I set ...class "modal fade" (I would love to have some transition).

I tried for the last 5 Days to rewrite the modal dialog to use Rails build in ajax (remote => true). But I just could not get it to work.

Do you have any suggestion, how I can fix the error handling to only prompt the error and not misbehave like in the screenshot?

Thank you so much!
joh

Ok, I think I have a fix, please try and verify (I am new to programming, so please consider this a hack)

RegistrationsController:

def create
build_resource
  if...
    if...
    else...
    end
    elsif resource.errors.any?
        (render(:partial => 'modal', :layout => false) && return)  if request.xhr?
    else...
  end
end

views/devise/registrations/new:

<div id="request-invite" class="<%= @user.errors.any? ? 'modal' : 'modal hide'%>" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">

I still believe that rerendering the modal on an ajax request seems not the right way to me?! But as stated before, I tried remote => true and could not get it to work.

Thank you

Add style to

in registrations/new.html.erb as following:
div class="modal-body" style="margin-bottom: 120px; overflow: visible"
It changes dialog's size and fixes rendering issue.

I ran into the same problem; I currently use the first suggestion but would like to get errors messages back if possible. The second suggestion did not change anything for me ...

I will have a look once 've got time how to fix this ...
