dynamic url no longer generated

I created a new dynamic page ‘edit’ and connected it in a repeater to the dynamic page. The edit button in the repeater links to the dynamic page

This worked for the first record when connecting via the dataset icon. Subsequent rows do not create a dynamic ‘edit’ url.

I have removed all old entries from the collection so that the new entries should pick up the ‘edit’ dynamic url when automatically created but they don’t.

In addition the collection does generate an ID url and FullName dynamic page url for new row entries and the FullName dynamic page link has also stopped linking, which is strange.

so i don’t know why
a) the ‘edit’ url is no longer being created when a new row of data is created
b) the FullName dynamic link has stopped working i.e. linking to the dynamic page

the edit dynamic page is named - {created by} {FullName}
the Fullname dynamic page is named - (FullName} {ID}
so they are different if this matters

Thanks

How are you showing the links to the dynamic pages in your repeater, are you doing something like in this page here?
https://support.wix.com/en/article/about-displaying-database-content-in-a-repeater
Which works on this basis here.

Please show a screenshot of your page

If it isn’t like above and you have buttons in your repeater that are linked to the dynamic pages then you will need to write your code like the example code in the Wix API Reference for repeater.

You can see Yisrael’s example here about using repeaters with inputs etc.

Hi J.D. i have used and connected to the dataset before, like i said it worked previously. I connected it like this.

I know what the problem is now, the problem is that adding a dynamic url to the collection doesn’t work well with wix.

on another occasion i had to delete and rebuild my collection from scratch including linking every single field key this took two days to fix. Yes it fixed a problem but not the root cause.

Once a dynamic page has been created, even when deleted the collection still remembers the old dynamic page url? thats possibly one problem

so how can i add a dynamic page within an existing collection and allow the collection to create the automated url without starting from scratch ?

I have deleted the two dynamic pages and re-established them, only to find the url’s still empty when creating a new entry into that row

Thanks

ok i completely deleted the old collection and rebuilt. I still cannot get any dynamic urls to be populated upon completion of a profile.

can anyone tell me why the dynamic field key’s are not auto populating ?

Hi Heath, thanks, so i made a pretty silly mistake although didn’t realise until i looked at the dynamic page naming requirements properly. Because i had only used one dynamic link until this point i didn’t get it. I do now. I think, well its working.

Next question can we please look at the click counter again? I’m on UK time but willing to stay up to get this sorted tonight

Thanks
Adam
