I ended up developing a lot of code behind a button on a page (this is basically a drop down menu which is a popup). The menu has further popup for one of the buttons (already managed to get that working). The button, and the associated functionality, is working all well.

When I tried to save this button (which drops down a menu) as custom component, I can't find any such link when this button is in the header. When I drag the button down from the header the "Save as custom component" appears. When I save it as custom component, no functionality is saved into the custom component.

I am heartbroken, I can't replicate the complex functionality on each page individually. I really want this drop down menu saved as custom component so that I can drop it on several other pages. ....any help?

Hello,

Thank you for feedback. Let us test this more.

As a workaround create this custom component on the page (not header) and use where you need.

Alena, that is also an issue as I reported above. Even the creation of custom component on page does not work because the attached functionality does not get saved with custom component.

Further problems:

#1. Any button with a pop-up, when saved as a custom component does not save the popup along. The custom component thus saved does not work.

#2. There is no way to manually add a popup to a custom saved button.

Folks, anyone?

Alena, that also does not work. Please read my first post and the following ones.

Hello Xman,

Sorry for the radio silence here, we are working on your issue and will get back to you with the update.

hi xman,

I am a little new to appery but can that page be saved as a template?

And use that page template for every other page you create / add. I am not very sure whether it'll work the way you want but you can perhaps try that out while Appery support works out other ways of getting it to work

I think your code will get replicated too, but just remember to add the "Work Area" component before you will be able to use that template for new page creation - I have added a screenshot of how the "Work Area" component looks like - as it is a little elusive - It will appear only when you select the template page. And once you add the work area component to the template, you are ready to use that page template as a starting / initial template for your new pages. When you add a new page with this page templage, do remember to break the component apart before you can see the events and stuff

Cheers,

Hi M&M,

That does not work when you already have tons of pages and are adding functionality in question later.

true xman. I dun really have much idea about the workings of your app. How about something like this - add a grid to the header...and move the button into the grid (1 row 1 col something?) ...and then try to save it as a custom component...any chances that would work?
