Connect a Repeater button to a Lightbox

Hey guys,

I’m new to building websites and haven’t coded in 40 years, old school Fortran, Cobal etc. I have created a repeater that looks to different datasets to pull information relevant to the page. i.e. My business partner, Prezzee Digital Gift Cards’ page, also lists all live auctions connected to them. Although I have all the different images, texts etc looking to and pulling the correct info, there is one problem. I need the “Bid Now” button to point to the specific Lightbox for the specific auction. Obviously with multiple auctions active at any given time, the relevant button needs to point to the correct Lightbox.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this? I thought of creating a new field within the auction dataset and linking it to that, however, I cannot find a way to connect it to a lightbox.

Cheers in advance,

Lee

N.B. When I uploaded my image it was the correct way up, not sure why its sideways.

Lee, have a look at the documentation introduction for repeaters in the section entitled Retrieve Repeater Item Data When Clicked . If you stored the actual lightbox name in a new field in that collection for for the various auction records, that data would be available when clicking the button.
