Creating custom edit pages and input fields

Ask the community

Hi, I’m new to Softr and coming from Glide.

Is it possible to create custom edit pages? I find the current form pages too limiting in terms of design and layout.

Is there a way to add custom input fields on a page? As I can see the dropdown elements can only be displayed as the primary column. Is it possible to display elements differently?

Thanks

Hi @katapulte,

Recently, we released our Vibe Coding block, which might be what you’re looking for. It allows you to create the block of your choice using simple prompts.

Please check this short tutorial for more details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmsYnQEhEM8

I tried using the vibe coding block but it doesn’t show up in the builder. I always have to preview the app the see the actual UI.

From the tutorial video it looks like it’s possible to see the vibe coding block UI from the builder but I must be doing something wrong because I always get an error that says « Error, content will appear when data is loaded » or something like that.

Any tips?

It can help to start with three initial steps:

  1. configure the block as normal by selecting a data source (your database and one table)
  2. Prompt “use these fields: (then list field names and ideally the fieldid for each)“
  3. Prompt (for example) “create a dashboard to show … “ or “create a form with … “ or “create a record viewer that works like an email inbox” etc.
