Looking to build a daily journal to jot down thoughts. I imagine this to be in a box/tile with a + sign/button to add a note. I am thinking of a popup window to input the note, then the input would be added to the box/tile in descending order to previous notes, with a time stamp. Each day the box/tile will reset for new daily entries.
Any ideas of where to start?
Hi @jasonturo - you want to start with creating a Data Type called “Daily Thoughts” (or whatever you want to call it) and then create a data field under it called “Thought” (type text).
As you noted, use a + sign/button to open a popup. In the popup you’d have a multi-line input and a button “Save” which would kickoff a Workflow where you’d have a Step to Create New Daily Thought. Then you’d assign “Thought” the value of the multi-line input. Have a second step to Reset Data in the Popup (clears the input for next entry) and a third step to close the popup. Timestamp is automatically captured in Bubble when you create a Thing (Daily Thoughts) and since it’s just you using the app(?) then you don’t need to do anything regarding tracking the creator.
After the popup design is done, add a Repeating Group (“RG”) to your page (Type of Content is "Daily Thoughts) in which you’ll do a search for “Daily Thoughts” for “Data Source”. In the Search criteria box that opens, you can select “Sort By Created Date”.
Next, add a text field in the first cell’s RG which will have Current Cell’s Daily Thoughts’ Thought.
That’s a quick high-level overview that should get you most of the way there.
Here’s a link to videos for repeating groups, data structure, etc if you need it.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.
It sounds like that get’s me on point. I will follow that. Thank you very much for your help!
Cheers
I am having a little trouble creating the popup window when the + sign is clicked. Any suggestions or anywhere I might find help?
Thank you
Hi @jasonturo - does this thread help you? There are two GIF’s to watch.
