Dropdowns + Documents

Hello!

I am creating a Dropdown for a client that is linked to a database.

In the database I have a Title and a Docmuent. When they select a Title in the Dropdown I need it to go directly (with or without a Go button) to the Document, in a new window preferably.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

I think you can try setting an “if” condition for each value of your dropdown item to go to the related document on wix.Location; under your dropdown’s onChange event.

Should look something like this:

import wixData from 'wix-data';
import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

//with go button:

 export function gobutton_click() {      
     if ($w("#yourdropdown").value) ==='title1' {             
             wixLocation.to("wix:document://yourdocument1")         
        ($w("#yourdropdown").value) ==='title2' {             
             wixLocation.to("wix:document://yourdocument1")         
        //more if conditions for each dropdown value          
        }      
     }  
 } 

//without go button:

 export function yourdropdown_change() {
     if ($w("#yourdropdown").value) ==='title1' {
            wixLocation.to("wix:document://yourdocument1")
        ($w("#yourdropdown").value) ==='title2' {
            wixLocation.to("wix:document://yourdocument2")
        //more if conditions for each dropdown value    
     }
     }
 }
 
 // mind the difference between ' and `
