Displaying a list of unique HTML elements in repeated group

I’m trying to make a page where a user can reply to a video with a video of their own. The problem I’m encountering is that when I try to post multiple video replies the html breaks. This is because the entire list of reply videos are being linked as the video source instead of each cell have its own unique video source, even when I split the list by commas.

Here’s the code I have:

How my database is set up:

Example with erroneous video url list displayed in each cell:

Link to the editor:

If the user doesn’t select comment or video reply from the dropdown or the same thing so your DB should be like this:
“Comments” should be a List of Comments not a list of texts
" Reply_ Video_Url" also should be a List of Video Reply not a list of texts

And also check Privacy rules.
Example : Current User Video’s ’ Reply_Video_Url contain This Video Reply

  • can see
    *can search

Let me rephrase the question. What do I need to do to make the reply videos appear in the HTML elements I have created? The comments are not being used so you can ignore them.

Hey @paul13

I haven’t done a full audit, but I can see your whole structure of calling data on the page needs to be reviewed. The repeating group for instance isn’t referencing the video table in the database. You’re instead referencing the page level “Current page video” which is why you just get the same thing over and over

Your content type for the RG should be Video and you should be recalling the video url from the database.

I’d suggest watching a couple of videos on YouTube to understand how these work. I was so confused with them in the beginning, but they’re actually pretty straightforward once you understand how they work.

Josh, I watched Bubble’s tutorial on repeating groups to get it to reference the “Video” in my database. I’m now having trouble retrieving the “Video Replies” in my database. Could you take a look at my editor and tell me what is wrong with my page that I cannot get the videos to populate my HTML and text elements that display the URL of the reply video?

Ok this makes a little more sense to me now. So at the page level you are showing a video and then the repeating group videos are all saved in the video replies.

What you need to do is create a way to link the video replies to the video table. So you’d create a field in the video replies data type and then the field type would be set to video.

Then when you save the video replies, you save the parent video.

Then your repeating group of video replies content type should actually be Video replies and then you’d do a search for video replies and set a constraint that would be the parent video.

That way your repeating group data source is going to be a list of video replies, filtered to just those that are in reply to the parent video.

At the moment you have created a text field with the reply video url which doesn’t link those two data types together (video & video reply) but it also would only allow you to have one reply per parent video if you set it like that. So you need to switch is around in that the replies are linked to the parent video.

  1. In your DB of Video should contain a List of Video Reply, not a list of texts.

  2. On the page “Video”, RG source should be: Current page Video’s List of Video Reply.

  3. When the button “Add Reply” is clicked, the workflow should do this:
    Step 1: Create a thing Video Reply – Step 2: Make a change to thing: Current page Video’s
    List of Video Reply add Result of step 1

Later you cant filter RG as you want but first make it right to work your video replies
