How do you connect your repeater to the products database? Whenever I preview my website it just shows me the placeholder images and texts. The wix youtube video never specified how to do that, but whenever I click on the template website the repeater is not connected to a dataset but is still able to show the products from the answers selected. Can someone please help.

I used this and my code is fine, my issue is how to Link my repeater
Hi! I was having the same issue and couldn’t get any assistance from Wix -_- I’ve spent hours on it, needless to say, really frustrating. I followed the Youtube video step by step too - but after some troubleshooting I realized the actual video has some errors:
-In the video, you’re asked to start by creating a Database Collection called “productKeywords”. However, the code refers to the database as “productsKeywords”…with an ‘S’. Even if you are super careful, and follow the code exactly, it won’t work! So, you need to either change the code throughout to say “productKeywords”, OR create a new Database Collection called “productsKeywords” (unfortunately wix doesn’t appear to let you simply rename a database collection…or even delete the first one you made…so yes, that means re-typing all of those keywords again).
-Once you’ve corrected the product/productS mess, you need to ‘sync’ your new Database Collection from Sandbox to Live mode. The video doesn’t show this either. To do so, go to your productsKeywords data page. “Sandbox” should be selected at the top. Click on “Sync” and then “Copy all items - Sandbox to Live” to make sure your work will be visible in live mode. I think you’ll probably want to do this anytime you make changes to your data.
That seemed to correct the main issue for me ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Wix should really correct this. How frustrating!
Hope this helps!
My problem is now fixed! you are a lifesaver!
@raeannadunkley yay!
does the quiz have to be live to show results? I’ve done everything on this thread but I’m still not seeing any products in preview mode. By everything I mean rechecked the code and database id names. I will really appreciate if someone can help.
