Let’s Get Static

[trvshowell]

Hi all,

I’m wondering if there’s a way to make a page, or specific elements of a page static until reload?

Situation: There’s a page retrieving a list of users, sorted by follow count. If you then follow a person, the repeating group will shift since the data has changed.

What is the process for displaying a RG like this but is “static” until page reload?

It would be great if the :make static operator worked in repeating groups, but because it doesn’t, I’d set a custom state on page load with a list of users and then use that custom state as the source for the repeating group.

Damn, @trvshowell… I put a lot of effort into the response in this thread. I see how it is.

Custom State for RG Question

Hello Bubblers, I have a RG doing a search for members of two merged lists, both sorted by Follower count (number), with a follow button and workflow to + or - follower count. I’ve read that to achieve a RG to NOT bounce around like this is to set a custom state and then load that state on page load. However, I’m not sure on which element to apply a custom state to and how it should be set up so that the order doesnt automatically update but only after a page refresh/load.
