In all my apps I have sometimes found myself in need of automatic creation of a new page. For example, if I have a stock website then I would want people to be able to access that specific picture through a unique URL. Or if I maybe have a review website then maybe people would like to share a specific URL with one company’s details.
My idea is that you should be able to use Create new page in the workflow tab and then maybe clone from example page ,.
I hope that Bubble will consider adding it
You are all welcome to support this feature request !
Simply set up a page to be of a specific type. For example, create a profile page and have it’s type be User. Then anytime you create a new user, there will be one additional profile page automatically created.
If you’re struggle with this, I highly suggest you take a course on Bubble. This is somewhat basic compared to what Bubble is capable of, and taking a class is a great way to quickly learn how to take full advantage of all that Bubble has to offer.
Maybe you misunderstood [quote=“alvis, post:6, topic:10031, full:true”]
No you can not create unique pages with workflows, only manually at this point. I think that is what you want to acheive.
[/quote], I have already talked about the possibility with the community.
Some parts of your explanation are to general could you please explain more, because if your way is right i would love to know it !
There’s a way to have someone fill out a form (for example their name and profile information) and have them create a new page (for example a profile page for that user) based on a page template (perhaps named Profile).
I’d suggest watching the videos on https://bubble.io/home. I’m pretty sure one of them covers this topic exactly. It may require you to watch the initial video before it shows you the “hard mode” which is a more advanced video on the same topic.
The way it works is the form creates a new row in your database. So, for example, you could have it create a new user, or a new company, etc. Let’s say you use a form to create a new company in your database. Use the form to collect data about the company and save it to your database.
Then, create a page called company profile. Set the page to type = Company. Then, create fields that are dynamic on the page, such as the company name. For example, the company name would be “Current Page’s Company’s Name” or something like that (depending on how you named the values in your database).
Then, if you want to view the version of the page for each company (including a new one that’s created in the form), then just go to youdomain.com/company/company-id where “company id” is the unique id for that company within the company table in your database.
Then when you go to mydomain.io/BUBBLEPAGE/banana you actually go to the BUBBLEPAGE page but you can then read in the rest of the URL, so you can grab “banana” from the URL and find it on your database and then show a picture of a banana.
(You’re conflating two different topics, believe it or not: “Readable/friendly URLs” and reading a path and taking some action based on what you find in the path.)
I don’t know that this will help you, as you probably need a more basic description / video about this, but I did a step by step explanation of a very similar idea (involving User names) here:
(In your case, you don’t need to do any fancy manipulation of the path argument, like I spent a bunch of time on in my example. But the basic technique is the same — snag the text from the path and then do some sort of search based on that value.)
