Another Little Update: Just published Floppy version 1.9.3 which adds yet another plugin (Floppy Rehydrator), which solves the problem described in this thread:

Well, that’s stupid now, isn’t it? Even stupider: I was just writing a little plugin for this (dubbed “Rehydrator” cuz that’s what it does) and it turns out that there is a bit of a bug in Bubble’s “:split by” when a URLencoded string is sent to plugins. It seems to URLdecode and then try to split, which is not the behavior in a text element.

Basically you can send lists of texts that represent Bubble unique IDs to Floppy Rehydrator and it rehydrates them into the Things they represent.

I know this seems like a weird thing – like, where might those IDs come from? Well, it turns out that they might come as a list of UIDs passed via a URL parameter. Stupidly, Get Data from URL… seems not to be able to read lists of UIDs, even though “Send Data to page…” lets us send them. Bubble is so dumb sometimes.

But I suppose this also might be useful if you have some API that is sending you Bubble UIDs as text or something. Anyway, look at all the value you’re getting from your smart investment in Floppy!
