🎛 New plugin - theCountable (now free)

[finitejest]

This plugin doesn’t seem to work on search boxes input types. Is that accurate, or is there a way to get it to validate typed text?

Hi @finitejest,
Thank you for your message.

@finitejest

Yes, correct, this plugin is compatible solely with Input and Multiline Input Bubble components. If you attempt to use a search box instead, a warning message will appear in the debugger.

For more details on how to set up the plugin and its workflow, kindly refer to the plugin demo editor page and the accompanying documentation.

Best regards,
The Zeroqode Support Team.

@ZeroqodeSupport

I am having issues with the plugin not functioning properly.

[ZeroqodeSupport]

Hello, @boston85719. Thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately, we are not encountering the same issue with the plugin on the plugin demo app. We presume the root cause could be in your application.

For instance, there are 2 ways to check the issue:

1. make sure the plugin uses the latest version, create a new test page (old/new responsive - does not matter), and replicate a “fresh” test setup from this video:
   Bubbles - Teamwork. On your time.
   (we have tested it with 'Characters as well - plugin works normally)
2. add our support@zeroqode.com account to the list of your collaborators to let us check the plugin behavior within your app and create a test use case scenario on our own.

Please let us know which variant is more convenient for you.
Regards,
Zeroqode Support Team

It is weird behavior. On a test page I have the plugin element in a floating group set beneath the page and it works. On the page I have the issue with the same setup is utilized, but it has the errors. If I place the plugin element next to the input it works.

Is there a known limitation of using the plugin element in a floating group set beneath the page?

[ZeroqodeSupport]

Hi @boston85719,

We’ve tested the mentioned scenarios but unfortunately, we haven’t encountered any issues on our end with the plugin element in a floating group.

It’s possible that there might be some specific factors or configurations in your setup that are contributing to the issues. To speed up the investigation process, would it be possible for you to add our support@zeroqode.com email to the list of your app collaborators? Also, please let us know the page where you are using the plugin. (here or via DM)

You can ignore the warning about the subscription plan, limiting the app collaborators number. Zeroqode is on an Agency plan and can be added to any Bubble app as a collaborator.

Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,
Zeroqode Support Team

Thank you for the help. I decided to just put the plugin element in the same group as the input which doesn’t cause the error.

Hi @boston85719,

Sure! Please let us know if we can try to help you with anything else. It will be a pleasure to cooperate.

Hi @ZeroqodeSupport ,

It would be great if we could instantly retrieve the input values with this plugin. Sometimes there is a need to know the input value instantly.

[ZeroqodeSupport]

Hello @ekiab,

Thanks for reaching out to us and our apologies for the late reply over the weekend.

To better assist you, could you please clarify what do you mean by “instantly retrieve the input values”, how do you want it to look like? Currently, it seems to show instantly the words, sentences, and characters count from the input.

Thanks again and looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,
Zeroqode Support Team

As you say, this plugin gives the character numbers of the text in the input. I’m talking about the text itself inside the input. For example, when I type hello into input, an output of the plugin will give me the text “hello”. In my application, I compare the text that the user enters into the input with other texts, so I need it.

[ZeroqodeSupport]

Hello @ekiab,

Thank you for reaching out.

Are you looking to retrieve the text value from an input field using the Countable plugin? We want to ensure we’ve understood your request accurately.

To accomplish this, you can leverage Bubble’s built-in features. Select the input field dynamically by its name and extract its “value”. You then have the option to store this information in your database/state or display it directly on your page.

Please let us know if this solution solves your inquiry or if you have any other questions.

Thanks again and we’re looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,
Zeroqode Support Team
