AngularJS error - [$compile:multidir] Multiple directives error

Question

I use these packages: An angularjs modal from angular-ui package: http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#/modal And Angular-flexslider from here: https://github.com/EnthusiasticCode/angular-flexslider

Every plugin works good when they are in separate pages. but when i use them in one page, angular-flexslider causes an error:

Error: [$compile:multidir] Multiple directives [flexSlider, slide] asking for transclusion on: <div class="flexslider-container ng-isolate-scope ng-scope" slide="s in slides" animation="slide">
http://errors.angularjs.org/1.2.0-rc.2/$compile/multidir?p0=flexSlider&p1=s…20ng-scope%22%20slide%3D%22s%20in%20slides%22%20animation%3D%22slide%22%3E
    at ...

The template file is this:

<flex-slider slide="s in slides" animation="slide">
    <li>
        <img ng-src="{{s}}">
    </li>
</flex-slider>

<div ng-controller="ModalDemoCtrl">
    <script type="text/ng-template" id="myModalContent.html">
        <h3>I'm a modal!</h3>
    </script>

    <button class="btn" ng-click="open()">Open me!</button>
</div>

And app.js file:

angular.module('theApp', ['theApp.filters', 'theApp.services', 'theApp.directives', 'theApp.controllers', 'ngRoute', 'ngSanitize', 'angular-flexslider', 'ui.bootstrap']).
  config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider.
        when('/home', {templateUrl: (someurl...) , controller: (a name ...) });
  }]);

The controller.js file is:

angular.module('theApp.controllers', [])
 .controller('SliderMedium', [ '$scope', function($scope) {
   $scope.slides = [
     'images/slider/01.png',
     'images/slider/02.png',
   ];
 }]);

// ========= THIS IS controllers from angular-ui with no modification =======:
// ==========================================================================
var ModalDemoCtrl = function ($scope, $modal) {

  $scope.items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];

  $scope.open = function () {

    var modalInstance = $modal.open({
      templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
      controller: ModalInstanceCtrl,
      resolve: {
        items: function () {
          return $scope.items;
        }
      }
    });
  };
};

var ModalInstanceCtrl = function ($scope, $modalInstance, items) {

  $scope.items = items;
  $scope.selected = {
    item: $scope.items[0]
  };

  $scope.ok = function () {
    $modalInstance.close($scope.selected.item);
  };

  $scope.cancel = function () {
    $modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
  };
};

How can i fix it? Tell me if further information is needed. Thanks.

UPDATE: unnecessary html markups removed, controller.js and app.js contents added.

Answer 1

A directive named slide looks to be both in angular-flexslider and ui.bootstrap.carousel. If you don't need carousel, try making a build of AngularUI Bootstrap without carousel support.

It looks like angular is using the boostrap slide instead of the flexslider slide and the bootstrap one requires transclusion which is also required by flex-slider, so there's a conflict as to which one gets precedence.

You may also be able to fix this by fiddling with the load order, but I'm not certain of that.
