Currently the function for removing a URL from the browser history is only available on the go to page action if we are setting up the go to page action for navigating to the same page that the go to page action is added to workflows from, which means, if I have a page Product and I am on the page product in the editor and I use the go to page action to go to page product I have access to the remove entry from browser history, HOWEVER, if I am building in a reusable element and I want to remove entry from browser history I can not because the simple checkbox is not made available.
Please make this function fully realized and have it enabled ALWAYS when using the go to page action, there are so many reasons why this should have been the way it functioned from the beginning.
If you like the idea please upvote so Bubble improves the system and enables us to build as we need to
Just tested and it does not. It keeps the previous URL in the browser history and so the user is able to use the browser back button to get back to the previous URL…unless you know it does and can provide the instructions on how to make it remove the previous URL from the browser history.
Part of path-hopper, URL Replacer. It should Replace the URL in the users history so when they press back, it’ll go where you want it. If not, let me know. I may need to create a demo to show how I setup my routing.
it is used to clear the last entry in the history and replace it with the address of a new url. replace() removes the URL of the current document from the document history, meaning that it is not possible to use the "back" button to navigate back to the original document.
Try it out.
It’s not possible to detect when they press back really, unless you use Mouse-detect-trigger and detect when they click the back button on the mouse.
For it to really work as a solution to the issue I raised, it would not need a second action to clear the last entry, or a second plugin to detect the click of a back button. It would simply have a checkbox to remove the last entry from browser history on the action of changing the URL, pretty much as the idea is for Bubble to make the function of removing from browser history available every time we use the go to page action and not just when that action is on the page the action is directed to.
But, I do appreciate you making me aware of the plugin as it has some cool functions that I previously needed 3 other plugins to achieve.
