meteorjs parties example modals on bootstrap3

Question

I'm playing a bit with Parties and the thing is I can't get "create party" and "invite" modals to work on bootstrap-3.

The mask (light gray background that hover the page) get launched but no modals appears.

I used: mrt add bootstrap-3 to add bootstrap (and deleted the default bootstrap version)

Answer 1

Just got it, I added show class to the div and it works

<div class="modal show">

Answer 2

You may want to also check out the https://github.com/TimHeckel/meteor-bootboxjs package which (as of now) uses Bootbox 4.2.0 with Bootstrap 3.

It's not Meteor-esque, but it is a nice package for displaying modals that is extensively tested, and you can also insert reactive content into it (if not using the default alert, confirm, or prompt) by using a bit of a hack:

var fooDialog = bootbox.dialog(message: " ").html('');
UI.insert(UI.render(Template.bar), fooDialog[0]);
