Using the same modal in multiple views is removing it

Hi all. I’m working on a social app based on pictures, and I’m using a modal to load the image in fullscreen mode. I can open it from multiple views, but there is an error in this case: opening an image in profile view apparently calls modal.remove() when I open an image in feed view, so I can’t open any image at all in feed -I still can open them in profile-. It just happens in that way, not the other way around, and this thing doesn’t happen with other views related to the images. The error I get from the JS console is Cannot call modal.show() after remove(). Please create a new modal instance., but I’m never calling modal.remove()

Any ideas of the cause of this error? I’m like crazy and have found nothing yet. Thanks a lot.

Here is the code for the controllers of the views and the modal template:

Please tell me if more code is needed. Thanks.

I was disabling cache in profile view, it seems doing that interferes with the modal. I removed the cache-view=false and it worked again. Thanks.
