CSS Framework Basics Build a Website with Bootstrap Adding the Video Modal and Footer

For anyone having an issue with the Video Modal....

When I first added the HTML for the Video Modal and previewed the site, the video came up as a square and wouldn't display properly. After tweaking for a while I figured out a solution:

  1. Go back to Bootstrap Customize, upload your config.json file for the previous settings when you last downloaded a Custom Bootstrap a few videos ago. Add "Responsive Embed". Re-Compile and Download. Replace your old bootstrap.min.css and bootstrap.css with your new one in your CSS folder.

  2. Use this code for the video modal:

<!-- Video Modal -->
    <div class="modal fade" id="videoModal">
      <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-content">
          <div class="modal-header">
            <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
            <h4 class="modal-title">Learn how to make this app!</h4>
          </div>
          <div class="modal-body">
            <div class="embed-responsive embed-responsive-16by9">
              <iframe class="embed-responsive-item" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hTf0CgRC1_Q"></iframe>
            </div>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div><!-- End Video Modal -->

This uses Bootstrap's Responsive Embed component.(www.getbootstrap.com/components/#responsive-embed)
