How in the heck do we create dynamic pages that generate from a google search input? Every post or youtube video depend on the user clicking a link already on the site - which defeats the purpose.
Beyond that, I haven’t seen how we can generate dynamic pages based off of two items (location & type)… I’ve only seen the ability to set the page type eg (vendors) which would then create a page for each vendor.
We are quite desperate on this if anyone has the knowledge to inform me how I’m being slow! We’ve had to put off operations to get this sorted unfortunately.
You can run workflows off and show customsied data with URL parameters. and use conditions that tap on url parameters. You can view this post to learn about how to set and use URL parameters:
Unfortunately, this isn’t relevant to my question above. This is not simply just a list of products, this is an intersection of products vs a type set in option sets.
Also, I just simply still don’t understand how to create deep links Eg www.mywebsite/link/deeperlink/deeperlink
The URL parameter @nocodejordan mentioned are exactly what you would use to do something like this. Think of it as using the URL to store bits of data, that Bubble can grab and know what to load, what to show, what page to jump to and how far into that page, etc. When a user on page #3 of a repeating group in a forum, you could have a workflow that says something like:
User clicks button to advance page in reapeating group → Go To Page: Destination: Current Page; Key: Page = RepeatingGroup’s page number. And then I have another workflow for When Page is Loaded, which is what enables hitting the back button to jump to that page.
That workflow looks like: When Page is Loaded → Go to page of repeating group: Page = “Get page from Page URL” and it works well.
Additionally we use slug values to load a page dynamically. For example, I am working on an app with a database of recipes. I have one page called ‘recipe’, and when a user searches for a particular recipe and chooses one, my url becomes /recipe/“slugvalue”, so to the user they’ll see /recipe/mai-tai/ . They can save this url or even guess it (/recipe/manhattan) and the page will load that recipe. I didn’t create an individual page for each of these, especially as my goal is to have thousands available - all the one page, loading dynamically.
I understand but I am not wanting to pass paramaters to the URL - I am not wanting to make any action, or the user to make an action, I just wish for the pages to exist under a dynamic setting.
If you see the example I gave with that addtoevent.co.uk, this page is not something a user clicks into, but a page that exists to purely to capture the user’s googled terms and then to funnel the user to the rest of their site.
So this is not driven in-app at all like your recipes, these are pages that are dynamically created internally.
Just as a sidenote - thanks for the full explanation. Your example with page navigation is workflows to navigate between pages and passing states as parameters through the URL. It is not dynamically created pages (Unless I’m missing something!)
From what I’ve seen I have not seen any examples of being able to create dynamic pages that are:
NOT triggered by a user clicking a link
and can combine all the permutations of two combos of data:
EG: Blogs/dangerous/(list all the dangerous blogs
Blogs/travel/lists all the travel blog
What you’re actually seeing is that company pre-generated a bunch of things in their database with events with popular cities, then Google is crawling their website for those
You’d create one page of some kind of App Type. Let’s say Caterers. Then each caterer will have a slug that you set. The slug on the url will determine which caterer info to display in this page.
Yes pre making some with all the popular cities would get you started. Then if a user searches for a city that isn’t in your database, have it automatically make it right there so it can be found later through Google
Not sure what this means? What menu? It would be a single page but a bunch of database items of events/venues/whatever it would be called.
Manchester or London would be the slug for your thing, not a new page (lowercase though)
Your page can just be the index, then everything after that in the URL is a path you set up. @doug.burden maybe you know more how to set up paths, I don’t know much
Setup a generic page that will display generic data about a venue. It could be a picture, a description, and reviews.
On this page, in the settings box, you can set a ‘Type of content’. This will be a ‘Thing’ from your database, most likely a Venue (or whatever you have called it).
Now, this Venue Thing in Bubble needs a slug to be able to tell the page that you want to show this particular Venue Thing’s data.
So your venue’s can share their URL with customers like https://iwipestanding.com/venue_page/dougie
dougie is the slug in the url, and venue_page is the page name in bubble.
The slug, the User can set themselves. Or you can do it for them.
If a User is to navigate within your site to a specific Venue Thing You’ll use the ‘Go to page’ action with ‘Data to send’ set as Current Page Venue
I am only familiar with URL parameters
