Your website modal module is the most sophisticated in the industry, and one of the most powerful systems created for any industry. A large number of FAQs reference how the modal system functions, with most of the functionality focused on entry and exit modals, with the modal resolved by your preference, interest or resolved borrowing objective, or lender. While the feature is introduced in each specific FAQ, this article simply looks at how to reference these modals directly in links.
Entry and Exit modals of any type aren't always entirely appropriate, but the modal itself allows information to be selectively returned to a user by way of a simple link, and this feature is routinely introduced by our clients. In this article we'll introduce the three primary modal link types: modal, lender, and geo.
Modals are Everywhere: Modals are referenced in a large number of modules. The modal links shown on this page are far from exhaustive, but they're also the most common.
Modal Placeholders: All modals may include rate and geographic placeholders. Refer to the FAQ titled "How to Use Geographic and Interest Rate Placeholders in Website Modals" on how this is accomplished.
In later website frameworks, all modal and other shortcodes introduced in the FAQ are accessible from the WordPress content editor. We're in the process of updating this to be accessible for all earlier versions.

Linking to a Standard Modal
A standard modal is any modal created within the modal module. From within the Modal module's Review panel, you should select the modal you wish to show and open it up for review. Find the shortcode, copy it, and paste it into your website.

The result is as follows . Remember, this is a direct link and will always reference the specific modal. Any changes made in Yabber are applied immediately to the result returned to a user.
Geographic Modal Link
The Geographic Modal is a profile of modals rather than a single modal, with each profile including individual modals that are resolved by way of the State of the user. When a user clicks on the geographic modal link, the modal assigned to the user State is returned. If the State cannot be resolved, or the user is outside the country, the default modal is returned.
The Geographic modal is obtained via the 'Review' panel as above. Open up the specific profile for review and copy the supplied shortcode. The result is as follows .

In our case we've used a single modal for each state and simply included a state placeholder in the modal.
Lender Modal Link
Lender modals are a tricky one. When you created a modal you had the option of assigning the modal as a 'Lender Modal'. This means that it's referenced by way of the Lender three-letter code. the lender modal may be assigned to different modals at different times, so the three-letter lender code will return whatever modal is assigned.
Lender Modals are indicated as such in the primary Modal Review table. See below and take note of the 'Lender' column - this will show the modal that is paired to a specific lender.

The shortcode [link lender="cba"]as follows[/link] will link to a Commbank Modal .
Only one modal may be assigned to a specific lender, so if you assign a lender to a modal during creation it will disable the previous connection.
Front Page Button Modal Link
The buttons on the front page may also link to a modal.
Pictured: Two primary CYA Buttons. When defining the button attributes you may link to a modal as one of the content options.
Pictured: Buttons link to a large number of Yabber resources - you'll never have to copy and paste any code or text like a caveman.
You may select a standard or lender modal as the target.
Entry and Exit Modal Groups
The entry and exit modal groups - with each group consisting of one primary modal and a number of optional conditional modals - may be linked to directly, but it's problematic in the sense that the modal returned may be diametrically opposed to the nature of the anchor text (or link purpose) since the modal is returned on the basis of interest or borrowing objective. These modal groups are meant to be shown on entry and exit so linking to them as a group is not their intended purpose.
If you choose to link to the entry and exit modal groups you may do so via the methods described above.
