How do I create dynamic links in a repeating group

Need help Database

Hi! I’m new (like going through tutorials new) :melting_face:

I am trying to create a repeating group of cards with static elements and dynamic links. Each card represents a different company and contains static data like image, name and description. On each card though, I want to display several dynamic links to external resources that might change monthly. What data sets, option sets and fields do I need to create to make that happen? And do I need to create a separate text element and link on that text element to make that happen. I know, my questions are very basic. I have searched the archives and not been able to find the answer - please help!

Here’s what I have so far:
Data types:

  • Company (fields: description, title, logo)
  • ResourceLink (fields: linktype, title, URL)

Option Sets:

  • LinkType (options: legal, tools, funding, communities)

How do I populate the actual links and where? in AppData?

I am confused on the terminology and how all these aspects work together. If anyone has a great resource to explain it, I would love it - thank you so so much.

I don’t know if I understood correctly, but even though the cards have fixed elements, do you want the link to change every month?

Is it the link that will change every month or what the link tells you to do?

Can you explain it better with images or some similar system?

There are both simpler and more robust ways to accomplish this. Since I see you’re a Bubble beginner, I’ll describe what I consider to be the simplest approach:

In the “Company” table, create 2 new fields: one could be AllResourceLink (type: list of ResourceLink), where you’ll store all ResourceLinks for that Company, in case you need to display them again in the future. The second field would be ResourceLinkDisplay (datatype: ResourceLink), in which you’ll store only the ResourceLink you want to display. In the Repeating Group where you’ll show the Company cards, you’ll pull the dynamic data coming from the ResourceLink field.

Additionally, I would create a Company field in the ResourceLink table. This could be useful for future situations in your application.
