Hey guys,
I have a main database that references other databases. I access this database to dynamically display information and media on a webpage.
I know that you can access a field by doing:
$w("#dataset1).getCurrentItem()["<Enter Field Name Here>"];
Is there a way to do that with references?
Example: $w("#dataset1).getCurrentItem()["projects"]["projectLanguage"];
If not, do you have any suggestions on how I may achieve something similar to it?
Thanks.
Cheers. I found that out about 30 mins ago. :p
The only reason I found that was because I used Chrome's Developer Console rather than Wix's.
Wix = 'ref'
Chrome = '_id'
I appreciate the help though Tal :)
Hi,
Lets say that you have a dynamic page, you can get the _id attribute of the current item:
$w.onReady(function () { let currentItem = $w("#dynamicDataset").getCurrentItem(); let refID = currentItem.fieldName._id; }
Afterwards, you can use the get function to get the relevant record from the referenced collection.
Good luck!
Tal.
