Saved Images That Are Triggered via Button

Need help Database
1

Hi Bubble People - I would like to thank you in advance :slight_smile:

I would like to display a list of Tasks with an Image that is associated to the Type of Task Listed.

End User Steps:

  1. User enters text into a text input box (Task).
  2. To Save the input the user will choose one of three images (the user does not upload an image - the 3 images are already saved in the database).
  3. The Text Input & its associated image reference is saved in the data base.
  4. When I want to display a list Task with its assocated image.

Question:

  1. Saving the Text Input and showing the list < that is easy :slight_smile:
  2. How do I set this up in the database then pull the assocated image re the list?

Thank you again - Scott

Hi, @scott12… now bear with me here because I could be way off base, but the way I am reading you post, the user will actually click on one of the three images in order to save the value in the task input field. If that is correct, it might look something like this…

task1

Then, as a user enters tasks, they are displayed in a list alongside the image associated with the button that was clicked in order to save them…

task2

Is that even remotely close to what you are trying to accomplish? If it is, I’d be happy to share the details of how I did it (although I am sure there are a number of ways, and mine may not be anywhere close to the “best” way). If it’s not what you are trying to accomplish, my apologies for misunderstanding, but I gave it a shot. :slight_smile:

Hi Mike,

Thanks for much for taking the time to make an example. I will do a little UX example next time.

Yes you are correct. Each task will be associated to a Project and an Image in the data base.

You know what they say… a picture is worth, like, a lot of words and stuff. :slight_smile:

If it helps, my setup is pretty simple. I actually have all three images sitting in the repeating group (stacked on top of each other), and they are all set to be hidden on page load. Then, I save another field along with each task that can be used to associate it to an image. In my example, I have a type field on the Task data type, and I am literally saving the words bridge, fall, or stream to that field, depending on which button was clicked. At that point, it is easy to show the appropriate image in the repeating group with a condition on each image that looks like this…

Anyway, I don’t know if that’s a path you want to go down, and I certainly don’t know if it’s the best way to do it, but it works like a charm, so maybe it’s something you’d want to consider.

Hope this helps!

Best…
Mike

Hi Mike,

Sometimes the basic way can be the best way! That worked like a charm.

This is the SECOND TIME you have helped me < thanks so much! I owe you a coffee if your ever in LA (Venice).
