Making repeater containers size constant

Hi

I have a repeater connected to a data set which provides text of variable sizes (namely Title and Subtitle).
I would like the repeater containers to appear nicely aligned - so all containers of the same size, regardless of the size of the text they contain. Namely, some will have blank space (for short text), some will have cut text (for long text).

I am having difficulties achieving that:

  • padding with blank space is not acceptable as you would have to redo all previous entries if a long one suddenly appears
  • the “add a box behind your elements” does not work as the box grows with longer text
  • I am looking into css atm, but I am not sure whether the simple Wix editor is up to it
  • a search on the forum did not seem to bring any definite answer

My question is:

  • is it at all possible?
  • if yes, could someone please provide me with a clue?

I use Wix Editor and I am quite new to it so please forgive me if it’s a dumb question!

Thank you very much for your help

No such thing as a dumb question :slight_smile:

I know this has been a challenge a few people have faced before, and my suggestions were going to be the ones you’ve already tried :sweat: :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

You could potentially try collapsible text, although not exactly what you need, you can stop “overspill” of text and it will be truncated with …

Then potentially connect to a dynamic page to read more :thinking:

An alterative is to explore Wix Studio - it’s different in the way things are built, as it’s a responsive editor, but might allow a little more freedom for what you need.

Thanks Noah - I’ll give it a try!
