A client is looking to streamline their Upcoming Events Section.
They currently have a calendar interface and are looking for something similar.
We have created a collection tied to a repeater and dynamic pages. As the dataset appears, it only displays in a list sense (regardless of how it’s sorted).
We are looking to structure this as a calendar. We have looked at other options (Wix apps, Google Calendar, old wix forum questions etc.) but then sacrifice dynamic pages and have another place where updates are needed to be made.
Is there a way through velo, design etc where we can rig something that would most resemble a calendar?
You could create a repeater where each row (ie. "Number of items) was limited to 7 items and then update the data in it either through Velo or by directly connecting a dataset.
Most of the issue sounds like it comes down to design. Velo would be advantageous because you could, for example, hide elements in the repeater when they shouldn’t display.
Both ways should be doable but Velo would be a lot more flexible.
Thanks for taking the time to reply!
I have tried that workaround!
The issue with this is that the compiling of items per day is non existent. So even though its laid out in 7, if a day has multiple items it will just keep repeating as specified, ‘ignoring’ our calendar fake out.
How would one do it through velo?
I looked through velo statements and couldn’t envision expressions that would work.
It’s definitely possible in Velo but would require existing experience with JavaScript. If you need this help then try either the Collaboration section of the forum or https://www.wix.com/marketplace for paid support.
