Help displaying "Family Member" data on new view

Need help
1

Thank you for taking the time to read this - I knwo I’m missing something obvious regarding perhaps the nature of the database, but after hours of trying different things, I’m clearly missing something. Any help would be appreciated. Keep in mind I am creating a mobile only app).

I have a view “directory",” where a user can see all the last names of families.

When they click on that specific family, I have a new view “family_members_view” where I’d like to display member information of that family.

My database is set up where the “Family” data type contains a field where I can link all the members of that family to that specific family as shown here:

When I try and configure the “family_members_view” to pull all the members of that specific family (from the button that the user pushed, i.e. Smith), I am having a lot of trouble figuring out how to have the “family_members_view” pull and display information from the “member”s of the “family”

Hey @Danimal :waving_hand:

Welcome to the Bubble Community! :tada:

It is most likely a privacy rule issue. You need to have a privacy rule that allows other members of that family to see that data.

Are you saving the ‘Family’ on the user dataType as well?

I’m asking more about the technical workflow to make this happen. I’d like for the user to be able ot click the last name and then a new page show all the 5 members of the family. For exmaple, click on Smith and then it open a new page and show the “Member” types that at all assigned to the “Family” Smith.

Privacy rules shouldn’t be an issue I don’t htink:

Ok, Privacy are a serious issue actually, you have it completely public at the moment. You probably don’t want people to be able to access that data outside of that family.

But for your workflow, you will want to send the ‘Family’ to the next page and then reference that when you search for your Family members. I suggest putting it in a parameter when using the go to page functionality. I will set up an example for you so you can see how it works. :blush:

good point - when i go live I will ensure privacy is correct. Just trying to get the funcionality wokring at the moment with some examples. I am making a mobile only app. thanks!

Oh, didnt realize this was a mobile app. Here is the answer if it is a web app:

Let me work on the mobile view for you.

that preview shows exactly the right idea – but yes, it seems the mobile formats are a bit different! thanks so much!

Yup, working on the example for you. :blush:

thank you so much – ill play around with it for a while and let you know if this solves the problem, which i suspect it will!

Sounds good. Happy to help. :blush:

I was able to successfully replicate what you did on my side. Thanks so much! I spent hours trying to figure this out – now I just have to follow the concept that you demonstrated. Thanks!

Took me a while to figure out why nothing was showing up on the next view, and it turns out the main issue wasn’t the structure but how the selected Family gets passed and reused. Once that part is set correctly, everything starts working as expected. Funny enough, I’ve seen similar hidden blockers in tools like Phonexa, where one missing link breaks the whole flow.
