Dev Diary Ep62 - Introducing Filter Tags

Hello again!

Yes, we’re back again with another dev diary video, and yes, we’ve got another new component to demo! This one is all about the new Filter Tags Component.

If you’ve not watched the Accordion Demo or the Filter Demo, I’d recommend you do that first before diving into today’s video.

The Tags, Accordion, and Filter Components will be available in a new beta later this week. We’ll also share the demo files from the videos alongside the beta release.

What a week this is turning out to be :sweat_smile:

Thanks for Your Feedback

Thank you!

See you soon,
Dan & Team Realmac.

It looks really nice but I think having comma separated tags - where multiple tags could be viewed at once - would be a lot more intuitive (and Mac like). Sorry to nit-pick :slight_smile:

Looks superb. As you showed it it seems to be “Give me everything that contains this tag OR this tag”
Can you also do “This tag AND this tag” So for example, “Opening Hours” and “Christmas”
So if the first Accordion had tags of “Opening Hours” and “Christmas” but the second just had “opening Hours”, selecting filters of “Christmas” and “Opening Hours” would just show the first Accordion.

You’re on a roll. We can only hope that the blog and other still promised features turn out this good.

You are really on a roll!!! I will put some feature requests to the roadmap page only to prevent that you guys sitting there on Sunday and have no work left :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

WOW!!

Now this is going to be really useful, can’t wait to get my hands on all this new stuff.

Great work!

I was thinking the same thing. I was trying to figure how to use this feature to cobble together a blog! :+1:

Yeah, a built-in simple tag cloud for any element is going to be needed, having to cycle through hidden tags is not a good idea for ui.

The collections are not limited to “tags” - that’s just a very simple example use case. Collections can contain any number of controls. It’s really powerful stuff.

We plan to expand on the way the records in a collection can be managed and organised in the future.

Hi, I’m using the Fitness project, and I’m having trouble editing the Classes page, specifically the timetable. I tried rebuilding the Classes page on a new page, but I’m unable to get the buttons to work in the preview. How do we modify the classes page? Thanks

Are you trying to edit the text within the table? If so, this can be a little fiddly as you have to double click above the current text to edit it, rather than in the blank space following the word. To help with small words, you can turn off titles as highlighted below.

I’m able to edit the text box in time table. I was referring to the preview in browser. How do I change the filter tag button names?

Those are set in the “Tags” setting. For example if you wanted to add Filter Tags for “Outdoors” and “CrossFit”, you would add them like in the below screenshots, then you can preview in browser and the tags would appear on the page.

Dan starts going over that part in the YouTube video at the 6:10 mark if you want to skip to the section where he goes over that part, direct link below:

Thank you. I watched that video five times. I was lost because I didn’t think it was the same because I wasn’t using an Accordion. The grid does the
same thing.
