Hi. Thanx a lot for great content! Can u plz shed light for a complete newbie, is it possible to use cms for dynamic box generation without repeaters? Situation is: map with many shapes over it that is supposed to show more detail upon hover over individual shapes. I can’t create a normal repeater because map is of an irregular shape and there are 50 shapes or so. And if I display only one item as a repeater it pulls in only data from the first row. How can one enable generation of a pop up box that pulls info from cms based on the shape one hovers over? Many thnx in advance
Hi thanks! Like most problems there are several different ways to approach this. Whether using a naming convention and filtering the content queried accordingly, storing the actual shapes as images in the collection etc.
what if I have a object like this? and I want to make the repeater using the lineItems section? { "status": "INCOMPLETE", "lineItems":[ { "quantity": 1, "price": 120, "name": "A product", "productId": "a668ef33-f5b8-6569-d04c-1d123be68441" }] }

@@thewixwiz Yess, I found it. But I am in a lot of distress because I can't seem to move forward with my client's website dev project even though I did the exact steps from that other videos of yours.
@@thewixwiz is there a chance you could get on a really short call with me to help me sort out the issue? I'd be really grateful! I know I'm asking you for too much but I think I really need a veteran eye on this one and I am really stuck.
is there a way to create an element only in code? I see that I can create an element using UI and attach script to it by $w("#elementName"), but is there a way to dynamically create a new element then attach it to existing container in js code during running the script?
@@thewixwiz 🤣🤣🤣 I would like to build customized chat page using wix, but having difficulties appending chats to the chat display box, because I don't know how to create new html or text elements during run time. How can I achieve that? I don't want to use WixChat app because it's not flexible enough for my usecase.
You can! But note that the repeater data needs to be an array of objects each with a unique _id property (string). So if your array data isn't in that structure you will need to map it before passing it to the repeater.
this was super helpful in getting started with doing repeaters via velo instead of GUI, thanks!
Do you have a video in which I can visualize how to save item data from a repeater to a CMS dataset, if the item is a checkbox?
very helpful! thanks!!

@@irisli3829 Unfortunately not possible.. you would have to use a collapsed, pinned HTML element or inject the code via custom code in the settings
Can you populate a repeater using an array from an array field?
You can! But note that the repeater data needs to be an array of objects each with a unique _id property (string). So if your array data isn't in that structure you will need to map it before passing it to the repeater.
