LinkedIn Share button breaks Bootstrap Modal

We recently added the LinkedIn share button to a site of ours with Bootstrap. After some testing, we realized this script, http://ift.tt/IX0rQc, overwrites (at the very least) the Bootstrap functionality for the modals. I don't know if it overwrote any of its other functionality, because we were only looking at the modals.

Is LinkedIn aware of this issue, and is their a solution to the problem?

Update:

Yes, I was sent here by Linked-in. After posting to their forum, I was directed here by who I think is a site admin.

Here is some code:

<div class="modal fade" id="BlogEmail" role="dialog" aria-hidden="true">
        ****Modal content****
</div>

Nothing special, just a simple Bootstrap modal. And the trigger to open:

<a href="#" title="Subscribe by email"><i class="fa fa-envelope-o rl-blog-icon" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#BlogEmail"></i></a>

This works fine, as intended, until adding the Linkedin script. Once this is added:

<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript">
lang: en_US
</script>

The Modal functionality breaks. Typing the following in the console:

$("#BlogEmail").modal();

or

$("#BlogEmail").modal('show');

throws:

TypeError: undefined is not a function

The above does work when the Linked-in js is not included.

Another update:

I downloaded the file, http://ift.tt/IX0rQc, and found this:

$_CONSTANTS.modes

and is used in this capacity (this is assigned to multiple vars/objects multiple times)

d=$_CONSTANTS.modes;

and the conflict

d.modal

$_CONSTANTS is defined here:

http://ift.tt/1y6NiCN

so I downloaded this, and overrode it so it loaded my version.

and on line 830

(function(){$_CONSTANTS={ ... modal:"modal" ... };

so I replaced all property references from modal to modals in both files

this causes these two lines to break, on line 1172, so I commented them out

IN.Event.on(window,b.beforeUnload,$_STATISTICS.firePing);
IN.Event.on(window,b.unload,$_STATISTICS.firePing)

The sharing now works but the Bootstrap modal is still broken.

Going back to unmodified files,

The Bootstrap code that breaks is :

var manager = typeof this.options.manager === 'function' ?
            this.options.manager.call(this) : this.options.manager;

         manager = manager.appendModal ?
            manager : $(manager).modalmanager().data('modalmanager');

        manager.appendModal(this);

I'm beginning to redefine the class definition of Modal to Modals, to see if I can get the conflict to go away, since the Bootstrap's code is more manageable. I'll update with what I find.
