i have a big problem. i want to open a leaflet map in a modal.
but the map is not showing properly. the tiles are not loading.
here is the script:
http://bootply.com/98730
<a href="#myModal" role="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal">Open Map</a>
<div id="myModal" class="modal">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
<h4 class="modal-title">Map</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="modal-body" id="map-canvas"></div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button type="button" class="btn" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">OK</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
$.getScript('http://cdn.leafletjs.com/leaflet-0.7/leaflet.js',function(){
/* map settings */
var map = new L.Map('map-canvas');
var cloudmade = new L.TileLayer('http://{s}.tile.cloudmade.com/f1376bb0c116495e8cb9121360802fb0/997/256/{z}/{x} /{y}.png', {
attribution: 'Map data © <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors, Imagery © <a href="http://cloudmade.com">CloudMade</a>',
maxZoom: 18
});
map.addLayer(cloudmade).setView(new L.LatLng(41.52, -71.09), 13);
});
any help much apreciated
I think what is happening is that, when the map is created, the container width/height for your `map-canvas' element has not yet been adjusted to the width/height of the modal dialog. This causes the map size to be incorrect (smaller) than what it should be.
You can fix this by calling map.invalidateSize()
. This will work to re-adjust the width/height bounds of the L.Map's container.
You can automatically call this by hooking into the event where the Bootstrap modal becomes shown.
$('#myModal').on('show.bs.modal', function(){
setTimeout(function() {
map.invalidateSize();
}, 10);
});
Insert this code into your JavaScript. When the modal is shown, the map will then invalidate its size. The timeout is because there may be some animation/transition time for the modal to display and be added to the DOM.
You should probably avoid using setTimeout with a randomly chosen delay. A better way using the 'shown.bs.modal' event instead of 'show.bs.modal':
modal.on('shown.bs.modal', function(){
setTimeout(function() {
map.invalidateSize();
}, 1);
})
Or use underscore's defer :
modal.on('shown.bs.modal', function(){
_.defer(map.invalidateSize.bind(map));
})
I use this workaround:
.modal {
visibility: hidden;
display: block;
}
.modal[aria-hidden='false'] {
visibility: visible;
display: block;
}
This worked for me -
$('#gmap').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
//call the clear map event first
clearMap();
//resize the map - this is the important part for you
map.invalidateSize(true);
//load the map once all layers cleared
loadMap();
})
