Love this solution, works great!
Thanks for your feedback @Bhargav
I need help after saving a record from using standard create save i need to getback for the same button landing page
Hi Brahmaj,
is there a way in which we can avoid scrolling of faded background.
<div class=”slds-modal-backdrop slds-modal-backdrop–open” ></div>
I mean in my scenario when modal popup opens , we can still scroll background.
Hi Piyush
try this One ,
openModel: function(component, event, helper) {
// for Display Model,set the “isOpen” attribute to “true”
component.set(“v.isOpen”, true);
document.body.style.overflow = “hidden”;
},
closeModel: function(component, event, helper) {
// for Hide/Close Model,set the “isOpen” attribute to “Fasle”
component.set(“v.isOpen”, false);
document.body.style.overflow = “auto”;
},
likenClose: function(component, event, helper) {
// Display alert message on the click on the “Like and Close” button from Model Footer
// and set set the “isOpen” attribute to “False for close the model Box.
alert(‘thanks for like Us :)’);
component.set(“v.isOpen”, false);
document.body.style.overflow = “auto”;
},
Hopes it helps
Thanks
Hi Brahmaji,
Your blog is amazing man. Good insight towards lightning. I have used your code base to create new records by enabling users to select record types. In tat we added that as a tab and on tat we have a button which navigates us to select records types.
But can we setup a but on a detail page and clicking on the button should directly take us to the record type selection. Can you help me in guiding towards that.
Appreciate your help
Thank you.
Hi Brahmaji,
I made a change in the component and was able to initiate the recordtype selection modal box on the click of a button on a detail page. Below is the code.
<aura:component controller=”recordtypeController” implements=”force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction” access=”global”>
<aura:handler name=”init” value=”{!this}” action=”{!c.openModal}”/>
<aura:handler name=”init” value=”{!this}” action=”{!c.fetchListOfRecordTypes}”/>
<aura:attribute name=”lstOfRecordType” type=”String[]” />
<aura:attribute name=”isOpen” type=”boolean” default=”false” />
………………
Rest of the code is as it is. So at the top, instead of the lightning button, I used aura:handler to initiate the action.
But I am facing an issue here. The first time , when I click on the button and see the first recordtype – I click next – I see an error in the back ground “Error! Please contact your administrator” .
Now when I change the recordtype and then click next, its working as expected.
So I again reloaded the page,clicked on the button, changed to second recordtype and then changed it to the first record type which is displayed , it worked fine.
So basically , as soon as the box loads I have to change the recordtype and then proceed. I am unable to capture any error in the inspect element as well.
Can you tell me what could the issue be.
Thank you
I have created a record type of opportunity with three values.Now I want if any of the value is selected then a new popup window appears and lets me select some other feild.
Can you suggest me how to proceed?

Hi SFDC Monkey,
I need to know how can I call the pop up through a standard button ? The button is basically placed on a standard lightning record page.
Thanks.
Hello SFDC Monkey,
Do you have a solution on how to make the SLDS-FADE-IN-OPEN work? Because even though you put slds-fade-in-open, it doesnt fade-in or out upon calling. Thank you
Nice, easy introduction to modal popups! Thank you!
Hi,
Is this Modal functionality can be done thru Tab or custom object? I mean we have a requirement to show popup message when the Contract tab is click. if yes, please give a link for more information.
In all my Sandbox model-popup functionality is working weird now. Not showing as pop-up instead displaying on top the component page, once click on the multiple buttons which are different popups are populating on top of the page one on other. Please let me know if there is any change in the Winter20 sandbox release. The same will soon hit prod in October.
Need your feedback.
i will check and let you update ASAP. thanks
Thank for for your helpful Post. Could you please help with how I can open Modal in new tab instead of open it in same tab/window.

Can’t close modal if you set isOpen default to true.
Thanks a lot.
You saved me!
