Hey, all not sure if this is the expected result, but I am not digging the way that the separato behaves when an RG breaks to a new row, and the final row does not contain enough results to fill the row. Am I missing something with the separato controls?
I understand why the vertical separatos are not there, but the missing horizontals creates a disjuncture between what’s on the screen, and what’s in the data: 3 items in one irregularly shaped cell. This RG shows “Satori” “Shorty’s” and “Vans” with no separation between their respective cells, and also no separation from the empty cells that finish out the row.
If you will always horizontally show five items/cells:
Add four blank items to your database under the brand data type and give a field of theirs, like slug, the value of “empty”.
Do when RG List of Things:count modulo 5 is 1
Data Source: “Input original data source here” plus item: Do a search for brand where slug = “empty” :first item
Do when RG List of Things:count modulo 5 is 2
Data Source: “Input original data source here” MERGE WITH Do a search for brand where slug = “empty” :items until #2
Do when RG List of Things:count modulo 5 is 3
Data Source: “Input original data source here” MERGE WITH Do a search for brand where slug = “empty” :items until #3
Do when RG List of Things:count modulo 5 is 4
Data Source: “Input original data source here” MERGE WITH Do a search for brand where slug = “empty”
Then on the cell of the repeating group you can just add to any display text element a conditional where if current cell’s brand’s slug = “empty” This element is not visible. Don’t add that conditional to the cell itself though or it will defeat the purpose.
Thanks so much for this very thorough response Will!
I am still not proficient with Modulo, and it’s something I have to make some time to understand. I am looking forward to giving this a try once I get a better understanding.
