Hey everyone!
I'm new here. Hope this is the right place for this sort of thing.
I'm simply trying to have a button on a repeater link to the same items individual dynamic page (I opened an "item page", and a "category page"- for the repeater).
I've been searching all day but didn't find any piece of information that could help. So either this is really obvious, or.. I don't know..
(the idea is to have a repeater show different items, and to have a button to take the user to the full page).
I know there's a "Page URL" column in the database. but I didn't find a way to have individual pages URLs show in it. so it's just empty.
I could link to the dynamic page through the link option (link> page> "which page" drop down menu), but sadly, this results in every button on the repeater linking to the same page.
If anyone could tell me how to either link to a dynamic page, or write a simple code to fetch the link to a dynamic page to the URL column, or anything useful for navigating in a website with about 1500 items really..
I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you very much,
Ruby
Hey Justin,
Thank you for the response. I actually opened a ticket a few days after this post.
and issue was solved. my problem was I had the database set to "sandbox" and didn't make the transfer to "live" and therefore I could see the pages on preview but not on the live site.
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Maybe this short thread will help someone in the future.
Hi Ruby, I'm still stumbling along a bit, myself. I'm not certain if I understand what you are trying to accomplish. If I did, https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-code-tutorial-creating-a-dynamic-category-index-page
may be what you're ooking for. Otherwise, you could populate a URL field in your dataset and have the repeater populate from that.
Hope that helps if you haven't arrived at a solution already .
No responses yet.. I'll take any feedback really. should I just give up on this? are dynamic pages not yet really usable? I'm starting to think I should open every page manually ( around 1500 pages), but I would really like to avoid it if possible.
If anyone had any experience with this I'd love to get your opinion.
Thanks again.
