Try checking the name that you are calling your Dataset Collection as it must be all one word, it can’t contain any spaces or special characters.
So if your dataset is wanting to be called something like ‘Members Collection’, then you will need to remove the space and simply have it as either ‘MembersCollection’ or ‘membersCollection’ or Memberscollection’.
However, please note that the way you have spelt your collection is very important as it must be the same in any code that you add to any of your pages. You can’t call it ‘MembersCollection’ and then have ‘#memberscollection’ in your code, it must be exactly the same.
The same goes for when you change the dataset id name of any dataset that you have brought onto the page in your Wix Editor. If you change the dataset name from ‘#dataset1’ to ‘#membersCollection’ in the element’s properties panel, then this must be exactly the same in the code too.
When ever i try to create a database, either with a template or scratch, i shows “an error occured, cannot create the collection, check your connection and try again”…my connection is pretty strong
Can some one tell me where i went wrong…is the server busy?
You should contact the Wix support team . You’ll get better help for your problem there.
I don’t even have the database option. Why?
