We thought it would be useful to have an easy way to add tags to a type of thing in Bubble. We created a template where users can add a new thing to a repeating group, in this case, movies, and choose from a list of existing tags (or create new tags) to help categorize the thing. From here, users can filter for certain tags simply by clicking on them. This template should allow Bubble users to painlessly incorporate tag functionality into their apps! Here it is:
A really nice and simple implementation for tagging. Especially as it allows the user to add tags that are not in
a predefined list by using the “allow entries not in list” feature of the autocomplete dropdown.
Well I am fairly new to bubble but I was messing arround with this and figured something that I thought was really cool. I don’t know if this is obvious or not but I thought I would share.
In my app Tags have tyoes, so instead of having one repeating group for all tags, I have several one line repeating groups for each type of tag. Also I am using these tags to filter Users in a repeating group.
I set up one Yes/No custom state on Group Add Tags for each tag type, Gender for example.
Under the workflow “Button Tag Hidden is Clicked and Group Add Tag’s Selected Tags doesn’t contain Current Cell’s Tag” there’s an action “Set state Selected_tags of Group Add Tags”. Set it’s Only When to “Group Add Tags’s Gender is “no””.
Then add another action in this same workflow: “Set state Gender of Group Add Tags”. This action’s custom state should be “Gender” and it’s Value should be “yes”
Now under the workflow “Button Tag Hidden is Clicked and Group Add Tag’s Selected Tags contains Current Cell’s Tag” add another action in this same workflow: “Set state Gender of Group Add Tags”. This action’s custom state should be “Gender” and it’s Value should be “no”
Now I can have my users tagged as Male or Female and when I selected either option on the tags menu the other one is blocked, before this both of them were clickable resulting in a blank repeating group.
I’m trying to get this to work. How come my app data doesn’t list the tags as strings of text, separated by commas? It seems to use numbers to represent them…
