Creating a Drop Down Menu Linked to a Database

I am a “newbie” to Corvid and coding. I am working to build a members-only website which will allow a member to look up information from one of my databases. I am struggling to set up the drop-down menus, which are linked to a dataset. I have followed the instructions provided by Six. However, I am not able to get this drop-down function to work consistently. I am having two unique issues which I outline below.

  1. For Dataset A, the drop down function works but it appears in reverse order. The Sandbox is accurate but the Live dataset reverse-sorts the data. No matter how many times Sync it, the Life dataset is in reverse order.

  2. For Dataset B, I am not able to get the list to work at all. When I go to the Preview file, the drop down is blank without any selectable items. Also, the Sandbox dataset is accurate but the Live dataset is in random order. Syncing the file does not correct this issue.

Is there a trick for getting this drop down feature to function?

Hello.

It’s unclear whether you are using code or data binding to connect your dataset to the dropdown.

If you are using data binding please follow the guidelines here or reach out to Wix Customer Support . They will be of great help. This forum is only for code related issues and discussions.

If you are using code, please share your code, link to your site and thename of the page with the issue, and we’ll try our best to assist.

Good luck!

@samuele Thanks! I am using trying to use data binders to see if that will achieve my desired outcome. If not, I will either have to learn to code or hire someone. The link you sent was very helpful: I learned that Database A was created in reverse order and the “Sort” function does not change the display of the database. I have a lot to learn.
