I’m using the “persistent left nav” screen to be able to navigate through different screens in the app. However, I’m facing an issue when I click on different tabs, the right section which is a transparent rectangle shows a black screen for a second then shows the screen that was clicked. This isn’t ideal design-wise, I’d like to have it either stay transparent or maybe create a loading screen. If anyone knows how to fix this I’d love to hear it.
I just tested and I directly go to the screen that added in the link action! This kind of thing happens on apps after the performance update and now it’s fixed and I believe that should be fixed on web apps too
Are you able to share a video about your setup too?
Hey guys so I’ve have actually noticed this as well! I’m noticing it’s Only happening if you link from a model/float/slide menu to another screen.
Adalo data works with links to and back from a screen. So because your menu screen has a transparent background but the menu itself is “technically” a modal, when you link from it the data on the page previous is no longer available.
I’m still trying to find a work around. But I’d recommend contact Adalo support by submitting a ticket. Just so they are aware.
While you are waiting for your issues, I would recommend to put the left menu in the same screen as your dashboard screen, if you want to minimize it, use group visibility to do that.
Hi @Yongki, I am trying to implement your advice to put the left menu in the dashboard screen. How do I minimize/maximize the menu when a user clicks the menu icon? I understand conditional visibility rules but how do I set a variable based on the click on the menu icon to control the visibility? Whenever I try to do this via an update action on a property of the logged in user I get an error when clicking the menu icon in the running application. Thanks!
Use a text input, you can update with change input value.
For example, when entering the screen, this text input is empty, you can use conditional visibility to check empty, then at the click of icon, add action as change input value to something other than empty, this will act as variable.
