Hey guys.
On a website which I maintain, is a strip for the upcoming events.
The previous admin simply used text-blocks and had to change event data manually, after the first event on the list was done.
I want to automate it. I already have found the following page .
The problem is I dont want the year to be displayed.
When im trying to do it this way all of the repeater blocks show the same content but actually formatted as I want it.
I also wann to try to add scrolling elements (like to arrows or navigation dots) to navigate through upcoming events (on the website there is space for 3 blocks).
I’ve tried many different codes using forEachItem and other repeater-functions. And also took a look into dataQuery-reference, but didn’t get smarter after reading.
The first problem is more important for me. It would be awesome if you could help me, even by just giving clues, in which direction I should move. I want to try to deal with the second problem myself.
Cheers
That is a custom coded tutorial for using with the Wix Events app.

You are limited to what you can do with the Wix Events app through Corvid for the time being.
Before creating your custom events gallery, you need to add the Wix Events app to your site . Use the Wix Events app to create events and add event information. Notice that a database collection named Events has been added to your site. This collection contains all of your event data.
Apart from those two custom tutorials for it.

These are the fields that you can connect to so far.

If you are wanting to do something differently to what is available through Wix Events, then don’t use the Wix Events app and make something up yourself.
Hello!
If you connected your data to your own custom repeater then check out this tutorial that shows how to limit text in a repeater:
https://support.totallycodable.com/en/article/limit-characters-in-a-repeater-using-wix-code
It should be able to guide you to what you are looking to do by limiting the string of the text. (Another way would be to split the string and I use examples of splitting on other tutorials I have on YouTube —- like creating custom Share Buttons uses this method)
