rendering twitter bootstrap modal in rails upon redirect

Question

I have a functioning modal link that is clickable from a certain page in my views:

<a href="#" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#manifesto-modal">Manifesto &amp; Rules</a>

In addition to it being clickable on this page, I would like it to be displayed by default upon redirect to this page. I haven't found a great approach to coding this from the controller or otherwise, but can't imagine it would require too much. Input is appreciated!

Answer 1

according to the docs, you could use the flash (untested):

redirect_to your_path, flash: { manifesto_modal: true }

then in your view :

<% if flash[:manifesto_modal] %>
  // a script to display modal on document ready
<% end %>
