Question:
I would like to know if it is possible to have the name of a Wix Event category shown as Text inside a custom repeater that is connected to Wix Events?
Product:
Wix Editor and Wix Events
What are you trying to achieve:
I am setting up a camping website and there are a few different types of site, Weekend Meets and Temporary Holiday Sites. Because I want more creativity with the design I have designed my own repeater to show the sites but struggling to get the category to show as it seems to be the only connection that is not available via the dataset.
What have you already tried:
Tried using GTP to assist with the code but I couldn’t get it fully working.
Before asking questions → you always should first make clear your Website/Project-Setup, for example like…
- I am using the ordinary Wix-Editor (this has been done).
- You also mentioned that you are working with events, but this is not clear enough.
With the installation of the Wix-Events-App you get a bunch of new DATABASES, you should also mention this.

Some pics about your current WEBSITE-SETUP helps a lot to help you much faster and more efficient → wasting less time (which you even do not pay for)
This just for memories.
So since you get the data from your dataset → it means you also have a database somewhere in the background. We know now exactly about what kind od DATABASE we are talking.
You already tried to get the item-data inside the repeater by code? If not yet…do it…
$w.onReady(()=>{
$w('#myRepeaterIDHere').onItemReady(($i, iData, index)=>{
console.log(iData);
});
});
Implementing this little peace of code should give you the ability to see whats going on in the repeater’s data.
Open the console and inspect all the data.
Questions:
- What kind of data is included in each of the ITEMS ?
- Is your wished data included aswelll ?
- If not what to do next ?
- If so → what to do next ?
