I have a repeating group in my app. The goal is to click on a specific item in the repeating group and be redirected to or open a popup of the profile’s page.
So i am going to need all of it’s data and in that profile page, add more data later on. I.e. add certain contacts etc in that profile page.
I’m struggling to find the best workflow for this. I was thinking the following:
Popup I don’t like the “feel” of a pop-up to come after clicking on the item. I would like it to feel like a new page if that makes sense.
Or do you then just create the pop-up and make it fit with certain margins to look like it’s a new page?
Page If I were to make a new page, do I have to create a page for every item in the repeating group? How do I push data towards the new page? I would like to be able to add more info to the profile when visiting the item’s profile page and then save it.
I made a screen recording and added in a fake profile page during screen recording. (Im amazing at video editing).
I hope I explained it well enough. Im not sure what the “standard” approach is of going about this flow.
Nice video editing! You want to create a skeleton of a profile page that can be used for any profile as the basic elements (having an image, name, description, etc.) are the same regardless of which profile you are viewing (it’s only the specifics like what the image or name actually is that changes). Set the page up to be of type user or profile (whatever you called it in the database) so it can hold a profile and set up every element to reference the profile that the page holds. When someone clicks on a profile from the repeating group just send that particular profile to the page as everything on the new page is set up to reference the profile of the page (which you just sent it). This video just about covers that, with the additional step of having a button cause the redirect. Use the same overall idea that the video shows but just have the navigation workflow on the text of the repeating group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRT8ocaFOoE.
I would suggest you have it in another container group if you don’t want to use the popup, simply create another group in the same tab that you have the RG which shows the profile of the user when it’s clicked from the list of users in the RG, that way your app will have better UX, here I mean it’ll load faster than having the profile on a separate page.
