Hello
I have a online music store selling various music media. Each media (CD,Vinyl & Tape) is a catagory I want to simply add on the product page as a “Related Products” that will also show more titles from that specific Band/Artist. Obviously I cant use the Related product gallery since I can only choose by the same catagory, and a band will have mutiple releases in different catagory (CD,Vinyl,Tape) See miamimetalmerchant.com for a better visual
When starting my site I DIDNT use dynamic pages or create my own collection. I simply went “off” the built in Wix Stores Collection for almost a year. Little did i know the limitations of this out of box set up, but I have over 10,000 releases & over 2000 photos in the Wix Product collection, so I really dont want start all over, but rather utilize that Wix Stores Product Collection some how. So I have added the Band/Artist as a Brand tag to each of the Bands releases, as shown below to add as a “link” for this in future, so now I am trying to implement it
After research I have read the follow page, which is basically what im trying to but as mentioned using the repeater layout like the Related Products slider
Using Connected Datasets and Repeaters
I have created this new collection, which 1st field name being the Band (again the Band name is the “BRAND” tag as sjow above in the picture)
The 2nd field in the new collection, I made it a Multi-Reference , and added each bands release to in the same row, for each Band.
Then I tried to link the dataset together, refrencing the BAND (via the Brand tag) throughthe Filter options of the Dataset but cant get the same band releases to show. It seems to just populate the repeater with items from the whole Wix Products collection (not band / brand specific matching)
There has to be a easy way to implement this as the concept sounds simple. Would apprichate any assistance as I am sure this is a walk in park for many. Also, I am not a code person, and would like to avoid code. When reading that page it seems simple to do WITHOUT CODE, but it seems I am just not creating the collections right, or selecting the right fields name / dropdown from the GUI.
Im using Wix Editior, I guess what ever is “out off the box” . that how “new” I am
