Hello,
I’m creating a fictional website so i can learn about Wix Studio, but have stumbled on a problem. The problem being, i don’t know how to add content to my repeaters in the editors.
I don’t know how i can access those repeaters individually so i can customize each repeater to display something else. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I provided a screenshot. The first slider works fine, but i don’t know how to get to the second.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I fixed it. You must click a repeater, and scroll towards it.
Additional information:
[Is there any additional information you want to add that might help others answer your question.]
Repeaters are elements keep the same layout and are used to display data from the CMS.
Lets say you have a 100 items that you want to display on your site.
Instead of making a layout for each of the 100 items individually, a repeater allows you to just design the layout for one item, connect it to the CMS via a dataset, and it automatically uses the same layout for all the rest of the items, making your job much easier.
You can learn more about that here:
Thanks for the quick answer, i know the purpose of the repeater. But what i want is for every repeater to display something else. Not the same thing.
I provided another screenshot.
As you can see, the second repeater has different content than the first. And i want to continue it with the other repeaters, but i cant access them.
I think what you are inquiring about would be found in the Inspector Panel which I’ve circled in the screenshot below.
If you still can’t access the other repeater items you want in the slider use that same Inspector Panel items part I circled to open the list and move the item you want to edit to the top of the list so it’ll be accessible in the editor. Then you’ll have to re-arrange them when you’re finished designing.
As mentioned above Repeaters aren’t really great for what you are doing and work best for CMS where you only design 1 (or 2 with the AB option) of the items and then the data Collection fills them in for you automatically so you don’t actually edit each item manually and need to worry about rearranging anything.
Nearly anything you might need from Wix in regards to design and layout will be found in that right hand panel which varies depending on the different elements you select so it’s worth checking out all the options in there for all your different site elements to familiarise yourself with what’s available, it will most likely be in there somewhere!
