Problem displaying content on repeaters

Hi, I am trying to have dynamic data appear on a repeater. The content I want is just text that displays the HTML of blog posts in a text area. I am using this to copy and paste into Mailchimp to send out newsletters. My problem is that when I set the text, it doesn’t update and I am not sure why.

allContent is the repeater, and textContainer is the text box that I will put the HTML content into. Here’s my code:

$w.onReady(function () {
    
    $w("#allContent").onItemReady( ($item, itemData, index) => {  
        let richtext = itemData.richContent.html;
        let title = '<h2 class="mc-toc-title">' + itemData.title + '</h2>';
        let divider = '<hr style="width:100%;height:8px;color:#1121f7;background-color:#1121f7;" />';
        $item("#textContainer").text = title + '<br />' + richtext + '<br />' + divider + '<br />';
});

});

The repeater is already connected to the posts data, which is $w(“dataset2”). All I have in my repeater is the text content.

Update:
I managed to get everything to display how I want to except the rich content. It displays as “undefined”

Hey, does anybody have a solution to this? It would save an enormous amount of time to just copy and paste the HTML. I know I could get the plain text, but then I would have to reformat everything and that just complicates it even more than the current solution. I’m also aware there is an RSS feed from the blogs, but this won’t let me filter the categories and I am unsure how to filter the posts.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

What if using instead of this one…

$item("#textContainer").text = title +'<br />'+ richtext +'<br />'+ divider +'<br />';

…this one…

$item("#textContainer").html = title +'<br />'+ richtext +'<br />'+ divider +'<br />';

…???

Also, check what do you get as RESULTS for…

let richtext = itemData.richContent.html;
console.log("Richtext: ", richtext);

What do you get as result and in which format?
Inspect it and then try to find your solution.

Hi, thank you for your response.

Regarding the switch from .text to .html, I am trying to get the text of the html be the output. I don’t want it showing up as that, I am trying to copy whatever the output as (as an html) and paste it into mailchimp.

For the console.log, it outputs a JSON format, and I was hoping to extract just the html components out of it. I can see that it shows up as a large JSON with the text showing as “PARAGRAPH”, and maybe wix has allowed us to get that information without using the plain text.

If you have any ideas on how to solve this problem, I would much appreciate it.

Thank you again for your response!

In this case i would have either to reconstruct your issued setup, or to take a look directly on your EDITOR, to be able to help you out.

In this case i need to inspect all the processing and behaviour of your code.
