Access content of FAQ widget

I’m creating an FAQ widget with a lot of content. It’s annoying to add content through the Question Manager in the widget settings, and it will be annoying to maintain when content changes. I’m therefore trying to connect the widget to a database, but there is no easy way to do this, like there would be for a repeater or table.

How should I go about doing this? I was thinking that maybe I could code a connection between the FAQ widget and a database table but I’m new to Corvid and I’m not sure if/how this is possible.

You shouldn’t use this ready-made widget.
Instead, create your own FAQ area using a repeater.
That way, you’ll be able to design it as you wish (and you won’t be limited to their designs) and you’ll be able to connect it to you database.

Thanks!
The widget does have a feature that I would very much like to use; but I don’t think this feature is available in repeaters (or maybe you can code it-- not sure). When using the widget you can create categories, which allows for a menu with the FAQ. Is there anyway to implement this into a Repeater, or to code it.

@akivazcooper yes. It can be done with repeaters and code.

@akivazcooper You can create a “category” field in your database and filter the repeater accordingly.

@ahmadnasriya Thank you! Just found out how.

See “Corvid by Wix | How to Create a Dynamic Category Page” on the Wix YouTube channel.
