Hello friends, I’m trying to create a “RELATIONAL” page for a specific product with an external database.
And on the page I want to relate, only the bubble’s own database appears.
And the option to define an external database does not appear as it appears in a “Group”.
Does anyone know if it is possible in the bubble to “RELATE” a specific page to an external database.
Type of content for a page must be from Bubble custom data types. If you want to create a page that uses an external database thing or api object, you need to add a group that is of the type you want and set the datasource appropriately and reference that groups value as the value to use for all other elements on the page.
Hello friend, first of all, “Good morning” and I’m happy for your warm interaction.
We are already doing this procedure, taking a repeating group and extracting the desired data via API.
What we intend to do is, take this specific data that was extracted and direct it to a “correct page”.
To use the SEO functions that “Bubble” offers, and in my application “Bubble” is only directing a search to its own “Backend”.
And I am not able to configure Bubble’s “correct page” to extract the data from an external “Backend” as we can extract via API for a GROUP or for a repeating group.
So that we can configure the SEO function for a personalized interaction “url” as demonstrated in the video below.
What are you trying to do, display the data on the page the way the video shows the page content type? If so, follow my initial post. OR are you trying to use the ALI data in the backend workflows on bubble?
The Backend is external, so in order to program the “correct page” I need to extract data from an external backend.
In the same way that “Bubble” allows you to search an external “Backend” for a GROUP or for a repeated Group.
Yup…your group on the page needs to be of the type that you are receiving from the external backend so that you have the actual value of the data from the external backend somewhere on the page, because you are essentially trying to replicate the functionality that is built into bubble for the page content type, which if I have a data type in Bubble database called ‘Product’ and I set a page content type to ‘Product’ I can in dynamic expressions reference the ‘current page’s product’…this is what you can not do with data from external database and why you need to ‘replicate’ the functionality, and that ability to replicate all starts with a group on the page set to the type of data that comes from your external database.
I believe you are not understanding, the GROUP and the Repeating Group are normally selected as the external Backend…
Now to send Relational data to a “Correct Page” this page needs to be related to the same external Backend…
What I am trying to explain is that the “Bubble” is not allowed to RELATE the “Correct Page” to the same external Backend in the same way that the GROUP and the Repeating Group could be related…
I know this, I fully understand your issue and I’ve explained it. You can not do what you say you want, so I offered advice on how to achieve similar end result.
