Collection / Database questions & best practices

Hey there

Working on a website for a client. I’d rather not post a link to that here. So I will try to describe this in the best detail I can and appreciate any help you might be able to provide.

I have a client that does speaking engagements and has a library of digital education courses. I want the “product pages” to follow a similar template but not be identical in design. I did not make this a dynamic set, as there are different graphics and animations I want to use for different sections. Also not all of them have the same structure of information.

Right now I’m working on a part of the page layout that has a list of dropdown items under headers.

so

Header 1


Header 2


The issue I’m running into is that I can’t seem to filter each repeater to a different sets of data within each dataset. So I’ve made multiple datasets from the same collection on each page. This doesn’t seem like the most efficient way to do this. So I’m open to suggestions. The “Headers” also change per the different pages.

On top of it seeming not efficient, I ran into an issue today where I logged back into the site and all of my connections were broken that were using duplicate datasets. So I think I may have to come up with another solution. Infact, the entire collection that housed the data for the datasets was deleted. When I restored it, there was just code in most of the fields. I then had to go back and manually reconnect everything still.

Any thoughts?

Any suggestions on how you would structure data like this? What I’ve been trying to do is create a collection of “classes” with top level information, like data, etc. etc. and then datasets that have the bullet points for those classes.
