I’ve found a couple of ways to accomplish this, yet neither seem to display or respond to the changed value of the dropdown.
When Dropdowns value changes, Show popup A.
I’ve tried: Send data to the popup and have the PDF view’s data source be the popup
I’ve tried: Have the PDF viewer’s data source be the Dropdown’s value.
I’ve even tried sneaking in a ‘reset-data’ action to see if that would trigger something?
Seems like a simple thing to do? Am I doing it wrong? Or is there something else going on?
I’m using the Mozilla plugin.
I’ve created a Data type that has field’s that are lists of files.
The popup, containing the PDF viewer, is being launched from a GroupFocus.
I’ve plugged the dropdown with two test files, and been successful in grabbing these files - independently. Again, the problem is that it will not transition between these files.
Is there a preferred or, standard, method for doing this?
Turns out bubble’s PDF Embed element responds to the change in value. That’s un-nerving because the reason I tried the Mozilla plugin is because bubble’s element stopped working… I’ve only been using bubble for a few months now. But I never seem to know what’s going to work or not. And things that did work, suddenly and inexplicably to stop working? I love this program, don’t get me wrong. But it hard to build confidence.
Plugins depend on the Authors updating them with changes that Bubble makes … and with other tech in general.
Bubble itself evolves and sometimes they break existing functionality that needs updating.
In my case, I take comfort that few other options exist out there with the overall value proposition that Bubble brings to the table. I cannot think of a single one for Indie development that can top Bubble as a matter of fact.
I hear you. And I’m in the boat. bubble has been a game changer for me. And I’m really hoping they can continue to build on their success. Question for you. I’m using a MAC and Safari. Would Firefox or Chrome be a better browser to use? I’m finding, recently, that I need to ‘force quit’ Safari as I try to retrieve those pdf’s I’ve been talking about.
As it is, now, the a user needs to click on the embed pdf and click the button that launches it to their pc/Mac resident preview. I’d like to skip the step.
