Hi, I need to return a database in a format shown below. I know a repeating group can do 1 column but I need to return several bits of date on the same line from a database. So the account name and the account balance need to be on the same line for example.
Thanks All
This is totally doable!
For instance, in your repeating group, you could set a “Fixed number of columns = 1”, and design each element in the repeating group as a “Row” container that holds two “Text” elements.
The type of the repeating group will be whatever the type of this Database is, (likely “Suppliers”, or whatever you’ve called it). Each “Row” element will have type “Current Cell’s Supplier” (or something like that). Then in the first “Text” element you’d display “Parent group’s Supplier’s Account Name”, and the second “Text” element would display “Parent group’s Account Balance”. This would only produce a 2-column table displaying Account Name and Account Balance, but hopefully you can get a sense of one way to proceed.
I’m sure I missed some details here as I’m still super new to bubble myself, but you should be able to produce this layout with something along these lines.
Hi, Thanks for your reply, I have no idea how to get the cells to show different values in different columns, It just populates every cell the same element. Any Ideas?
Nice progress! Each cell, referred to as “Current Cell” is storing one entry from whatever source you selected, so likely one Supplier “row” in your Supplier database. So each cell that you see here will eventually become one row of the table that you’re trying to produce above, if that makes sense. You only need to design the first row, or “cell” in the repeating group, and the rest will match that style but will contain data for the other elements in the Supplier database.
It’s tough to tell what settings you have so far on the repeating group, but if you set it to having a fixed number of 1 columns, then the repeating group element in the editor should appear as a vertical list of cells. Then all you’ll need do to get started is put some text elements in the topmost cell and set them to display, for instance, Current Cell’s material description. Then if you preview your page you should see each row/cell correctly displaying data from a different Supplier in your database.
Here’s a tutorial for a very similar repeating group design that should be super helpful!
Thankyou, on the move with this now.
Nice! Good luck
