How to create a modal popup in WeWeb?

Step 1: Open the WeWeb Editor

Log into the WeWeb platform and open the editor for the project where you want to create the modal popup.

Step 2: Add a New Modal

Head over to the "Components" section in WeWeb. Find the "Modal" component and drag it onto the canvas. Make sure its initial visibility is set to hidden.

Step 3: Configure Modal Settings

Click on the Modal component to tweak its properties. Adjust the width, height, background color, and other styles to fit your design needs.

Step 4: Add Content to the Modal

Drag and drop extra components like text, images, buttons, etc., into the Modal to build the content you want. Customize these components as needed.

Step 5: Create a Trigger for the Modal

Add a trigger element on your main page, like a button or link, that users will click to open the modal. For instance, drag a button component to the spot you want on the page.

Step 6: Set Up the Trigger Action

Select the trigger button and go to its action settings. Add a new action, usually a click event, to change the modal's visibility from hidden to visible.

Step 7: Add a Close Button Inside the Modal

To let users close the modal, add a close button inside it. Select the button and set its action to hide the modal when clicked.

Step 8: Test the Modal

Preview the project to test the modal. Click the trigger button to make sure the modal shows up as expected and that the close button works.

Step 9: Final Adjustments

Make any needed tweaks based on your test results. Adjust styles, visibility settings, or actions to finalize the modal popup.

Step 10: Save and Publish

Once you're happy with the modal popup, save your changes and publish the project to make the modal live on the website.
