I am using a slide background with a side panel incorporated. I have added the fields i want to the panel, so far so good.
I can make the database go to the next record using a ‘button’ - no problem there. BUT how do i make the database go back to the beginning once the user selects the second or third slide?
I don’t want to use more buttons - it looks messy.
Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated. TIA
Hi Victoria,
can you please share some screenshots or url of the site you are building? i could not understand the issue you are trying to describe,
thanks,

Hi Victoria,
thanks for sharing, i understand what you mean. however are you looking for advice regarding the user experience or implementing an idea you have?
thanks,
Shlomi
Both. Sorry.
I had the idea that i would like one button for ‘additional dates’ and once the user had reached the end of the available dates the button would then read ‘previous dates’; allowing them to go back and forth. Then when the user went on to the next slide the database would restart.
Hey Victoria,
Not sure whether you wanna dive into a bit of coding, but this method should help you out: wix-dataset - Velo API Reference - Wix.com.
Let us know if that helps!
Thanks, I will.
Hi Victoria,
We have looked into your site and your use of the different elements (slider, data element groups etc), our ux expert might suggest another approach. if you’d like please share your email so we might schedule a talk to discuss
thanks,
Shlomi
By all means. I could use all the help and advice. Thanks so much.
please share your email so we can schedule such talk
Adas Bradauskas - I am still trying to get this to work. Can you give me an example of how the code should look. Thanks so much, I appreciate your help.
Hi Victoria,
Do you still need help? The link is broken.
If you could give me a new one, and specify what’s still missing. it’ll be great

Hi Liran,
The link is:
Desktop is the problem. I’ve managed the cell site.
What I am trying to do is use a database for my clients courses that contains various dates for those courses.
I liked the idea of a slide that you can scroll through the pictures with the added ‘pop-in’ (per slide) with all the pertinent info from the database.
My problem happens when you change slide the database doesn’t start from the beginning and then the ‘buttons’ become inactive.
Does this make sense?
I’m not sure I fully understand the use case, but from what I see, you connected the buttons to be ‘next item’ and ‘previous item’ on the Courses Dates databases.
Now, courses dates had data for all courses, this means that you do not have a filter on the dataset, which filters the data to be only the course that is currently selected on the slide show.
And course dates database have only two entries, so basically after one ‘next’ we’re done moving forward.

Hi Liran,
There are just two at the moment to see if I could get it to work. There could be five going forward.
I get it… but what I’m trying to point out is that you have all types of courses date in the same database (and dataset), so you don’t really filter the dates pop-up according to the selected course.
Sorry Liran, I am confused now. In my course-dates database there are courses with three available dates. The slides are just for info on what you’re modeling. Therefore I don’t need a filter just the ability to scroll through the dates (forward or back) and once you change the slide the database automatically returns to record one.
I have added a filter using title contains ‘**Limited Availability **’ seems to work … Fingers crossed!!
