hey dave parrish here uh
the guy with the knack videos um if you
like these
please like them
ring that bell and i'd ask you subscribe
to the channel too but let's get into it
today's topic this by the way is gonna i
hope my shortest video okay i say that
and they end up being long maybe i
ramble but
um
this is if you're changing a name of a
page the actual page
on the pages side the top level thing or
even uh applies to when you change it
but
uh
you just you need to do a couple of
things so it's right and your app is
tight it's just not a single name change
uh and i'm gonna jump into those uh in
just a second here
appreciate it thanks
[Music]
okay here's the skinny when you have to
change
page names in your live app
um
this would be real quick
here's an app it's one of their
template apps
and i'm going to give this example using
a button but
look i add new unit this some run up
type thing
oh i spelled unit wrong when i put this
in here or just because you want to
change the name
let's go look at the live ad
uh there it is
and when we open it up it's a modal
pop-up it's spelt wrong there too
and up here the url is spelled wrong
this is what i'm getting at
let's go to
i'm gonna change this i'm gonna make
this right
unit okay
there it is
okay initially when i did this i thought
it was done but you're not let's go back
to the app
okay that looks good
oh wait
the title appears still wrong the url's
still wrong so we want to make those
righteous so we have a tight app and by
the way if this wasn't a modal pop-up
you ever want to take moto pop-up make
it into a full page
maybe there's
a little too much stuff on there and you
want to see it on full page you can just
return refresh the browser
that's going to become full page so and
if it's not a modal pop-up you're going
to get a chrome trail up here
and add new unit is still wrong so let's
go
and just fix that we're going to go to
the page so we fixed it here that's just
cosmetic
and go here
the actual page setting and we need to
make
the page title which would be a modal
pop-up which shows up top or if it's not
a modal pop-up it's going to appear in
the come trail
and then you also have to do
the url
you can
you can copy the other one or just make
this paste or just make this right
save it
and i'm going to refresh
now let's open up this again
units
there it is
it's right here it's right in the url
um
so that you got to do that
double deal
stuff uh with the title and the url if
you're just changing uh
like this a page title
uh or it could be a subpage title too it
doesn't matter
you can change it right here
you're just gonna just do both of them
gonna take care of everything if you
need to call this something else i don't
know the units
you want to make this the units do
if you're concerned about these how this
is formatted you can actually just copy
it i think i mentioned that
and it'll put it in
it'll look like this but when you save
it
you go back to it's going to put in the
right format
so this just take care of those things
um
not a modal popup but let's take scare
that that's it
so quick video don't forget
that if you change something it also
affects uh the chrome trial
sometimes and
definitely the url if you want that to
