Friends/Follow/Unfollow

I had this problem on previous build, whatever was last in workflow was the only thing working that was just follow/unfollow.. I did eventually get that to work through some custom states, conditonals, workflow… I restarted my build because I gained a little better understanding on the other parts of bubble… for instance on first build my follow/unfollow works but I have over 30 errors showing… was my first build and I was still learning… now I am on a new build and decided to add friends as an option when current user and current cell user follow each other.. I have checked so many times on every conditional, every workflow, set custom states etc… I am missing something and I do not know what it is… Is there anyone seasoned in this portion of app building that could maybe go on a zoom call with me and look over my work? I would post photos of everything but it would be like 15 photos of conditionals, workflows, etc… I need someone hands on if available to teach. I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey @wcba.mo :waving_hand:

This is exactly what I do. I help people by one-on-one coaching using Zoom. If you would like to book a session with me, you can do so here: NoCodeMinute

Sometimes a 1 hour session saves you many hours of trying to figure something out on your own.

Hope to talk with you soon! :blush:

I seen your site, and if I could afford to do your 1 hour session I would… however I’m currently in a tight spot.

Understood. If you would like to post pictures on here and we can see if we can assist for free, you are more than welcome to do that too. :blush: Or you can do a screen recording and share that as well. Hope that helps.

Here is a link to screen recording, if there’s anything specific I need to record/ screenshot let me know. Link

Hey @wcba.mo :waving_hand:

There are a few things that you could do to fix and improve the process for yourself. The video was very helpful.

First, the workflow isn’t set up right. You are correct, it will only do the last thing because any time it changes to unfollow, the next step will change it back to follow. You have to do separate workflows for it to work properly. You can’t do it in a single workflow.

Second, the way you have a list of items on the user isn’t going to scale well. You will need to create a separate thing in the database for it. I will try to show you this way.

I will try to set up and example for you. :blush:

Hello,
I’m working on my social media site, which includes a member-following feature. I’ve managed to do this, and I can help you for free if you want to make a call. But my English is just terrible. This answer is actually a Google Translate.

Here is an example for you. It is pretty complicated but if you are on a tight budget, it is worth looking at. :blush:
