Twitter Bootstrap Modal and Jquery Cookie Plugin
First you need to include the JQuery cookie plugin like so:
<script src="/path/to/jquery.cookie.js"></script>Then the following code should help you:
<script type="text/javascript">$(function(){ // If the cookie does not exist if ($.cookie('modalshow') === null) { // Show the modal $('#myModal').modal('show'); var expiryDate = new Date(); var hours = 168; expiryDate.setTime(expiryDate.getTime() + (hours * 3600 * 1000)); // Create cookie to expire in 168 hours (1 week) $.cookie("modalshow", "false", { path: '/', expires: expiryDate }); }});</script>
same as @mccanff answer but without using external libs
if (document.cookie.indexOf("modalshow=true") < 0) { $('#myModal').modal('show'); var expiryDate = new Date(); var hours = 168; expiryDate.setTime(expiryDate.getTime() + (hours * 3600 * 1000)); document.cookie = "modalshow=true; expires=" + expiryDate + "; path=/";}
