Hey, great video. I think I may be the one on the forum who sparked the idea for this video. This approach does work when using it from the very beginning, however for my use case it just wasn't feasible because the "user_profile" page has a TON of functionality and elements on it. So, I would have had to go back and pull it all separately, dynamicly in groups. = / Don't take it the wrong way, this is still amazing content, especially for those who aren't having to implement feature retroactively.
If you put everything inside one giant, main group (literally everything), just have that group do the initial lookup from the URL so everything inside can reference its parent. You won't have to do the URL lookup more than once that way.
@@coachingnocodeapps Just to put this into perspective. If I removed "type of content" "user" I instantly get 236 errors. I just wish that bubble would devise an easy way to remove the "unique id" from the URL.
@@Moon-hd8ry Yes, unfortunately if you're converting an existing page that was using Bubble's unique-id method first, then you could potentially be looking at a time commitment to switch everything over. However, if the previous setup of the page also had all elements inside a big group that referenced the Current Page's Thing, then you'd only need to update that big group's data source.
@@coachingnocodeapps Thank you so much! I can't wait the video come out. I think it would help ppl making a web app on bubble. Is it possible to connect Xcode with Bubble and submit an app to the app store? if so, please please please:)))
Thanks for the great lesson Gaby. Do you know if there's been any updates from Bubble to this? Surely it's a desired feature and the workaround isn't workable for a large portion of their target market..
Hi Gaby. Great work you are doing here. I know this is completely off topic, but is there a way to hide the scroll bar on a repeating group? I can't seem to find a way around it.
Hi Deborah! You'll need to change the layout style to anything other than "vertical scroll" - each style has its own pros/cons and are intended for different types of displays, but the vertical scroll will force a scrollbar.
Wow! Thank you so much. I didn't expect such fast response. I really really appreciate. Meanwhile I've changed it to full list and just realised that's exactly what I wanted
I am trying to do this but having trouble since I am not using slugs. Instead of a unique slug for the user it is tied to the company's name. Each user works for a company and all users have this same page that could be shared with external users. For the URL path, instead of slug I am using current users company. When I am on the new page I have an input that is supposed to pull the parent(or groups parents) company name. The problem is that it is not pulling any data -- it remains empty. Any advice?
Hey there! Yes, you can create a page load workflow to show the popup when the URL parameter or path = some value. For example, when the page is loaded (and only when get path from URL is "show - popup"), show a popup element.
Hi Gaby great tutorial , i wonder if the URL is NOT clean (contains unique ID ) !! In this case can i share the URL via social media ? i have tried to share it (not clean URL ) using "Add to any share button " plugin but it redirect me after click on the shareable link to a different page with a lot of new parameters in the URL !!! or clean URL not related to the sharing process ?
Hi Hassan, great question. I'm not sure why it would be doing that. It sounds like some troubleshooting is needed. I can help with this, but it'd have to be in a session where I can access your app and look around. You're welcome to book if you want help with that (www.coachingnocodeapps.com/booking).
Hi! It would be great if you could make a video applying this to the creation of a referral program with Bubble. There's no video on you tube about it and many people are asking how to do it. Thanks for your videos!
Hey Francisco! We actually have a lesson on creating a referral system in our VIP Membership if you want to check it out: coachingnocodeapps.com/vip-membership
great staff one question though how can i link user profiles e.g when a user clicks on a user's profile picture or name and be taken to that user's profile page without it showing the current user but to show the current cell user who commented or likes their post?
Hi Abednico! I think you emailed about this and also asked it in the forum. There's already a response there, but I'm pasting it here in case you missed it: "It’s best if your profile page has a Content Type set to it. Content Type = User. Whenever you go to this page, you “send data” of a specific user. So, after logging in/signing up, you trigger the Go to Page action (page = profile page), and the Data to Send = Current User so they can see their own profile. Then, from the comments on the profile page itself, clicking on another user’s photo/name/etc. would essentially re-load the page with a different user sent to it. Use the same Go to Page action and Data to Send = Current cell’s User. I’d recommend reviewing Bubble’s lesson on sending data to pages here: bubble.is/lessons." If you're still having trouble, go ahead and book a coaching session here so we can go over it: www.coachingnocodeapps.com/booking
Regarding the Slug being unique, I've been trying to find a solution that generates a unique ID (for example randomly generated 4 digit code) but I can't find any solutions to make sure they are unique. Do you have a solution for this? Thank you in advance
@@coachingnocodeapps Hi Gaby, I tried this but seems to take quite long to search the entire database. I use a Do a Search for Thing Contains Value Do you know of a way to do this search quicker or better? Will it be faster if I run it as an API Workflow? Would appreciate your advice. P.S. Thanks for this great video! I see now bubble is considering adding this slug as a default feature: forum.bubble.io/t/request-for-feedback-slugs-for-cleaner-urls-for-dynamic-pages/101764
Hi Taufik! You can use a condition in your workflow to first search for other records that already have the slug. If it exists, you can show an error, and if it doesn't you can save the new slug. Good luck!
As I know, the "404" page appears if I am not using tier-2 links, but I've done all steps in your video and you tell to use ... /profile/username that is actually a tier-2
Your solution requires to use a giant group instead of a page with type=user. When we use a page to assign a type then we can easily call Page User's ... from any child. But when we use giant group, then we need each child to be the first branch child. How can I work around it?
Hi, Good work. Thanks for this. Also, I have another requirement. I hope you can help me with that. The requirement is, wherein my bubble application, I should be able to create a public link for a page which contains reports and shares that page publically with allowing users to access that page without login. Is this something possible in the bubble and how we can easily do this?
@@testwithhari5870 you can do this by showing non logged in users another version of the page when they use a specific link. We actually just published a tutorial on this in our VIP Membership. You're welcome to check that out here if you're interested: www.coachingnocodeapps.com/vip-membership.
Hi Gaby. Is there a way to hide the parameters in a url from app users? For instance this url ua-cam.com/video/udqTvOJASuQ/v-deo.html, Is there a way to make it look like this www.youtube.com/watch, and still show the same page?
Hi Deborah, take a look at this plugin: bubble.is/plugin/browser-1486962300251x576761271471308800. There's an action there that lets you "modify the URL" in the way you're describing.

I'm glad to hear that!
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you for the clear explanation!
You're welcome!
I've made something similar to this. Curious, when you change the url name, and click refresh, will it return an error?
can you create a video for publishing a bubble app into IOS and android?

I started with Bubble 2 weeks ago, and my app is on its way. That's part thank to you and your terrific tutorials.
Hey, great info! Do you have any video that shows how to remove the /index/ section from my bubble url? Thanks!
Hey there, that page is built into your app. It's your home page and can't be removed
Thanks for another valuable tutorial! Is there a way to recreate a similar url experience for pop-ups?
