Hello everyone, today suddenly out of nowhere it has become impossible to use 2 or more of the same thunkable modules in a project, somehow after 1 is added to a screen it stops loading the other ones that are added afterwards.

Thanks

Hello @sketch  
Thank you for sharing a video and your project URL.  
I was able to replicate the issue only with this specific module or a copy of it.  
I will continue investigating and share an update as soon as possible.

Hello @ioannis I suppose it is related with the draggableImage module then?

From a test a ran just now it seems that Thunkable somehow doesn’t properly send the styling data to the iframe, the more i add the more console logs i get but all with the same default styling or the styling of the first added module but it doesn’t take effect on the others i add after it.

Edit: it seems that the function to set the styling is not getting called in Thunkable.

Hello @sketch  
I think the issue is on the web viewer because if I add different components and update them on the function, it works with multiple modules on the same screen.

Really? I tried that too but that doesn’t work for me,  
It in facts doesn’t call the function at all for me.

Did you delete the post message block to do this or the whole webviewer?

Btw I tested cloning/create blocks and then it does work, so I’m honestly not really sure if it is completely tied to the webviewer.

I showed your module to the engineer who worked on Modules and they thought that what you did was very cool. They have a lot on their plate right now but they do want to look into why your particular module isn’t working. All other modules that I have (with and without webviewer) are working fine even if I have two of them. If I had to guess, it might be due to having two iframes each on its own webviewer.

I’ll see if the engineer had more time to look into your module when I see them tomorrow.

Thanks @brianl I really appreciate that!  
Please thank the engineer for me and no worries, I understand he may be busy so I’ll be patient!

P.S. i have been messing a round a bit with the module and project so u=you may need to remix it again.

They are working on a bunch of different things, some of which are related to Modules. I would wait to see if any of the Modules changes that come out in the future will resolve this problem. In the meantime, unfortunately, they are completely swamped.

Hi @brianl thanks for letting me know.  
As of now there is no work around that you are aware of?  
I really need this to work😅  
Sorry if it’s a bit pushy,I understand your all busy but I need it for a project asap

@sketch It is well before Brian’s normal working hours in his time zone. He’ll get to checking on this as soon as he can.

This is what I would do:  
Since it looks like it works when only one of it is on the screen, if you know how many you need on one screen, I would just add that many in the module. Instead of multiple modules holding your code, I would try one module that holds multiple web viewers or have your code handle multiple image inputs.

How many images are you look at having at a time?

Hi @brianl @matt_conroy.

I hope you’re all doing wonderful 😊

Is there by any chance some news on this?

Im slowing down on school so im picking up more fun projects on Thunkable modules and would love to be able to finish some modules.

Btw @brianl i apologize for never replying again, i got swamped with school and completely forgot to reply 😅

Kind regards.
