Hello, I’m stuck on something and can’t figure it out. I have a one-page app with different “pages” based on the URL.
For example:
www.mysite.com/app/company/apple (company view)
www.mysite.com/app/employees/erik (employee view)
The problem is that no data is showing up on the employee page/group. I’m trying to “Get data from URL (item #3: employee)” but it still returns nothing. I don’t think it’s a privacy issue just that I’m missing something in the setup.
After a few hours i finally sorted it out, not sure tho if this is the best / correct way? or if im using unnecessary WU this way? (get data from page URL is TEXT)
This is how I’ve set up my SPA, months ago. I’m using the methodology to get the path text and search. Works reliably.
The only difference being, ‘m using integer IDs vs Slugs.
If it works, it is correct, but in my opinion it is not the best
This is the way. Bubble gives by default the ‘type’ as text, but that is a drop down (I think many many many developers never clicked it) and it opens up a list of all data types. So select the type of data it is.
In your URL parameter you need the unique ID it it is a custom data type, or the display value if it is an option set. Bubble will pull up the correct entry/option and if it is a custom data type, it is an individual data request, so a charge of 0.015 WUs.
Sorry, I didn’t even see that. Then that search setup is the most WU efficient way. Because it is slug, it is slightly less efficient than unique id, but the difference is not worth the tradeoff of needing to use the unique ID instead of slug within the url path.
