Bookmark widget navigation arrows not working

StefanieWenker — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 16:56:33 GMT

I have been creating this app in experience builder that uses the bookmark widget (scrolling style with an advanced template). Everything was going great, until the arrows that allow you to go between bookmark tiles aren't responding anymore.

When I am editing the app in experience builder they work and also if I use the live view option, but then when I open the preview or look at the page where the app will be embedded the arrows don't work.

I recently added cards to the bookmark tiles so that I can have a hover effect and make the tiles look more like buttons and I am wondering if that is what caused this issue.

New insight: I also went back to a previous version of the app without the card bookmark tiles and the problem is the same. I tried creating an app from scratch using the Ribbon template. With the default bookmarks the blue navigation arrows work, but when I change the bookmark template to an advanced template the buttons aren't responsive again. Was there an update to experience builder - I noticed that there is a new Table (Beta) feature available now.

Any insights would be appreciated.

The Bookmark widget isn't working for me at all. And I took a look at a previous version of an EB app and the bookmark widget's contents are blank. It was working last week. We have a demo tomorrow and bookmarks is a new feature to showcase.

Hi Tom,

What part of it is not working for you? I also noticed that it is harder to get the bookmark to respond to clicking on it where I have text on the tile.

I added a bookmark widget to a new window. I call that window from a button. The idea is the user picks a map extent (bookmark) from a list of pictures, but nothing shows up in the bookmark widget. I had it all working last week. Now the window is blank when called from the button. Very frustrating.

Hi Tom,

Pretty sorry for the bug. Yes it is a regression issue for Bookmark widget that in window it shows nothing.

We will try to fix this as soon as possible in patch in the coming days.

Thanks,

Wei

Hi Stefanie,

I confirmed that this is a regression bug as well for advanced template of Bookmark widget. We are looking into it now. And will soon have a patch fix for it. For now you may use "paging" for the paging type, or choose other bookmark template.

Thanks for your feedback.

Sincerely,

Wei

Thanks Wei,

I have also noticed that the hover function for cards doesn't work very well in the bookmark tile - is that something that is related to this update too, or just because I am trying to combine too many objects?

I duplicated one of the cards I am using in my bookmark tile and dragged it onto the map to test if it still had issues and it changes when I hover over it as expected.

Sorry I am not very clearly understand your problem with Card. Can you describe your repro steps? What do you mean using in bookmark title?

Thanks,

Wei

Hi Wei,

The navigation is working again! Thank you so much for the quick fix.

The other issue is not an issue anymore either. I am using the advanced template with the scrolling navigation and on each bookmark I have added a card with the hover function enabled so that when you hover over it the colour changes. We only have text on the bookmark instead of pictures and the hover function makes it look more like a button. Yesterday the hover function wasn't working very well in the bookmark widget and the bookmark function didn't work unless you were at the bottom of the bookmark. But today it seems to be working again.

This is my first experience with experience builder and it has been a fun thing to get to know.

Thanks.

Stefanie
