This guide is the beginning of the documentation with the built-in Notes for the database. Will help you gain a better understanding of how the template and Bubble works.
Starting with the Template
Once you have bought or added a block to your account, you will see a dropdown in the New Application popup that lets you pick a template as the basis for the new application.
Note: This can only be done when you create a new app.
After you've selected a block you bought, complete the other fields with necessary data (i.e: Name of the new app, What kind of application you are building, etc) and press Create a new app.
Tip: A template isn't a theme for your app, but a pre-built set of elements and workflows. You can modify the template as you would modify another app.
Wait for Bubble to load the application with all the data.
After the application has loaded, you'll see the Bubble assistant on the left side for New Application. You can close it or follow the assistant steps to adjust different settings.
Congrats: You have successfully created a Bubble app based on your template. Now, you can proceed with the setups and dive into Bubble no-code development toolset.
API Connector
This template uses third-party services. There are some data calls left that require API Key configurations in order to function properly.
These services are:
- Test Listing
- Posts: This API call retrieves data from the Post data type in app database.
To set it up, please:
- replace the link to the application with your own URL, you can take it from the application settings tab.
- Press the “Reinitialize call” button.
- Bubble tools:
- Save image: this API call is used in the reusable element "post-create" to extract the link on the post image.
- replace the link to the image with your own stored image URL, which can take it from any image stored in the “All Posts” base.
- Press the “Reinitialize call” button.
To set it up, please:
