Dynamic repeating group driven by input and collecting data

alefreedom1 · 2024-08-31T04:53:59.808Z

Hi guys,
I’m quite new to Bubble and have some questions. Depending on your reply, I might need to put it on chat GPT to give me a more detailed explanation to it.

I’ve seen many topics regarding this but I haven’t managed to replicate yet. Many people are after a button that adds a new row on the RG (there’s a very nice tutorial covering this idea here, but i couldn’t adapt to what i need).

Obs: I’m using this as a project for me to learn Bubble, so I’m not interested in hiring someone at the moment.

Context:
I’m creating a tool that prices and generates designs of sheds/warehouses.
A shed/warehouse consists in bays and portals.

The shed from the img has 3 bays and 4 portals.

What I’m trying to accomplish:
I want to create 2 RGs:

The first one represents the portals (aka gridlines). The number of rows in this RG is driven by a previous input called Number of bays, where Number of rows on the RG (number of portals) = Number of bays + 1. In this RG the user can choose material, how many columns they want to add or make it clear span, etc, for each portal. Minimum sizes will be driven by engineering (which I don’t want to cook my mind on this feature now).

The second one represents the bays. This RG is also driven by a previous input called number of bays (number of rows = number of bays). In this RG the user can choose: doors, open or enclosed, bay width, concrete floor, etc, for each bay.

Thanks a lot!

You can have two input one for bay and one for portals.
Now add two repeating groups,
In the conditions use if number of bay input value=1 then number of rows =1 and so on for 2,3,4…
Similar for portals
In each cell you can have type selection, other inputs and so on which will correspond to that particular row of rg.

Thanks for your reply! I made it to work with the conditionals.
Would you have any suggestions on how to save all the inputs to a database? Some people have been suggesting to use plugins to take the data out of the RG.

There is no way to extract data out of RG expect using plugins.
U can use RG extractor plugin or Orchestra plugin both are free & does great job
