Hi everybody,
Recently, I started a new project with Softr and thought I’d share my thoughts on this. The main idea was an ordering platform for a client, similar to an online shop. I had to use several workarounds, which I would like to post here. Maybe somebody wants to build something similar or has a better idea. It’s very straightforward:
The product page is just a list item, but the action opens a modal with a “details page”. I integrated the new conditional logic form, so when you need a size (T-shirt) it only shows the size for this item, when you need a shoe size, you get a different field. Just wanted to show that this could be a workaround.
I also built “kind of a shopping chart”. I used two list table blocks - one for the ordering list and one to sum it up. To create a new order, I built a conditional form because I need sizes and colors on certain items. The cool thing is, that when you place a new order, the page reloads because I set the action in the ordering form to “open page” and just open the same page again. So all the “orders” are up-to-date.
I think it would be a great feature if softr made the image in the conditional form dynamic. This would open a whole new world to people who want to build online stores with softr.
I hope everything was explained well enough, contact me, if there are questions open.
