I’ve created a collection which includes a column with type “Document” which I’ve used to store links to uploaded PDFs. When I connect a table on a dynamic page to the collection and create the dataset, this field is not available.
The field name is “Information” - does that have something to do with it?
All suggestions are welcome. I’ve been in the software business for 42 years and have coded my own sites in VBScript and Transact-SQL for years, so I’m accustomed to a certain amount of latitude with regard to using all kinds of data and displaying it on a page. Would appreciate help with this particular nuance of collections and tables that I haven’t figured out yet on Wix.
A document can’t very well be included in a table - an obvious real-estate problem. You could add another column to the collection for the document type. You could use a text string or an icon. Connect this field to the table and you’ll have the indicator you need.
Thanks, Yisrael. After some additional trial and error I figured out the same solution. Now I’d like to differentiate the columns connected to URL and document fields as links by something other than text color. Is there a way to CSS-style a table connected to a dataset?
Hey guys how can i connect a document column to a pdf reader in dynamic pages in order to display a different document on each page? On my dynamic page, once I click on the pdf reader element, the button to connect it to a collection doesn’t display. How can I do?
on a related note i have a form on which i maintain an ad item data collection, which has Images and PDF documents in it. For images I cvan display a thumbnail image with and Change Image button next to it. But for PDF, all I can do is display a n change Document button. I would like to display the name of the currently stored PDF documenht. Is there a way to do this?
