Toggling a Modal

[Muratcol]

Hello guys!

I need your help with a very simple and basic subject. I'm sorry if it's asked before. I looked but could not find it.

Can you show me an example of triggering a modal? I tried it over and over but couldn't manage it. There is a link as seen in the image, when I click this link, I want to toggle a modal in which I can set two different dates with DateTimer. Later, I want to get the dates I got from this Modal in query function as input.

This is the link:

you can do that on a modal, but what are you trying to do fits better on filters functionality as selection filter layauts:

would help you, If you change the input text for a date time one:

https://orchid.software/en/docs/field/#datetime

in fact I think there is already a date range filter

[Muratcol]

Yes, However, I don't want to filter the two date ranges. I want to set two different dates with Datetimer as parameters, without creating crowds on the screen. So I want to set this parameter with the Modal tool.
But how can I toggle a Modal by clicking the button or link... I couldn't find it in docs?

Just add a ModalToggle action element on the commandBar returned array of your Screen in which make()->method param, has the name of your modal name (the modal item of your screen Layout returned array).

After that Orchid screen handles the toggling

you can verify how it is done in your App\Orchid\Screens\Examples\ExampleScreen class

Ahah, thank you so much. I always knew it's an easy thing to toggle but never find out how to do that.

@tabuna Perhabs the documentation at https://orchid.software/en/docs/modals/#using can be improoved making mention of the use of the action button for modals on the command bar to allow them to work....

I think it makes sense to add this.
