Hey ! Have created a rive, animation rive.app - struggling with the plugin source, says you must reference the .riv file - but having uploaded it to file manager no luck referencing it through a URL. Any ideas on what the URL needs to be in the animation element for it to work ? Joe.
Hi @bespoke did you ever figure this out? I am also having the same issue.
Yes i did - it was somewhat unsatisfactory and didn’t bother using it - but I uploaded the file directly to bubble as a data type with a file field - then this gave me a cdn.bubble.io file url which I copied and pasted into the rive source element and added https: on the front and managed to show the animation
This solution didn’t seem to work for me, but I was able to just toss the embed code into an html element and show the animation. still can’t use the plugin though.
The workflow that works for me is uploading the file to File Manager, and then copying the files address (Right click the file name and select “Copy Link Address” — paste that into the source field in the Rive plugin)
I actually created a duplicate of the Rive plugin with a few simple changes, one of them being the ability to use a dynamic expression as the source for your Rive element. This lets me store the Rive File’s URL in an Option Set which I can reference in elements in the editor. Makes it easier to update the Rive File and have all elements pointing to that source receive the new animation.
