Need help

Please everyone, I urgently need help on how to use the satellite plugin properly. Thanks

Are you referring to the satellite plugin by zeroqode? Satellite (reusable element addon) Plugin | Bubble

Yes, exactly

Which specific part of the plugin are you having trouble with?

How to send data from reusable to a page… I always get confused using it. Not like i am sending data, I just want to make a particular element show on mobile.

The attached scrrenshot should explain better

Have you set up both the antenna and satellite properly?

That is what I am yet to confirm. Do you have a proper channel on how I can learn it??

I haven’t used this plugin but I just checked the editor and it seems easy to setup. sdfsfsdfsdf | Bubble Editor

You just need to setup both elements properly.

  • setting classes when the antenna is revealed
  • targeting the specific class on the satellite

Edit: You could do this in native Bubble as well :smiley:

How please. That would make more sense

  1. A satellite emits to an antenna.
  2. Satellite and antenna have a name, called the “class”.
  3. In order to communicate they need to share the same class. “Satellite class X only talks to antenna class X”.
  4. Satellite AND antenna need to be “initialized” before use. Generally with a “when the page is loaded” workflow.
  5. You place a satellite where the info comes from (inside RE).
  6. You place an antenna where you need to capture the information.
  7. If sending data from satellite to antenna, this is 2 actions. You send data AND you trigger the antenna.

I can’t seem to get it to work…
Is it supposed to work in a Reusable Element inside a Repeating Group ? Like when there are multiple instances of the satellite ?
Thank you.

Yes, they can be in reusable elements and in any number. Any number of satellites and any number of antennas.

The message sent from satellites is send accross the entire app, this is why this plugin can be crutial.

The only trick part is that everything need to be “initialized” and given a class name.
Once done : all Antenna will know that they should trigger when an S send a message to their class name.

Thanks :pray:
But how do you initialize a satellite ?
