I have a data type “TOOLS”.
I want to show the list on a page like:
Tools: Tool1, Tool2, Tool3, Tool4, Tool5
The tools should be clickable and added to a list.
How can I do this?
Problems:
Any hint would be highly appreciated!
Hi @flyhigh, if you use the new responsive engine, your columns can adjust themselves to the right width
I use the responsive engine. But with that all columns will be the same width and I won’t get the look I need. Because the length of the tool’s names are different there will be white space everywhere.
First row is done with a repeating group. Second row is what I want to have.
It should be possible to do with the chippify plugin. I use it for something similar on my page.
There are actually a few ways to do this (using text elements or HTML elements with the Format as Text expression on the list)…
But, as @oliviercoolen points out, with the new responsive engine it’s now very easy to do with a RG…
Here’s how…
Have a RG with the following settings:
Add a text element inside the cell:
And here’s what you get:
Just add a workflow on click of the text within the cell to run whatever actions you need to run.
Fantastic, I must have had something wrong in the layout setting. Now it works. Thank you.
Hi Adam, I have a follow-up question. When there are more items than fitting inside one must scroll horizontally. Is there a way to avoid that? I tried unchecking fixed number of rows but then everything was overlapping.
This is doing exactly what I want. I still try to figure out how to do it with just RG. But if I fail, I will use this little plugin. Thanks for the hint.
@flyhigh, were you able to figure out how to get your list to continue over multiple lines without awkward-looking spacing? My aim is to make the words in the ‘Expertise’ box below clickable.
