[Solved] Looking For Nested Repeater Work-Around

I am aware that nested repeaters have been requested multiple times and that they are currently not allowed.

For my website I have a collaborator page that I would like to have a variable list of external links.

I have implemented a less than desirable method, however wanted a more dynamic approach.

I have a collection of collaborator links that contains information for the link.

Next, I have a collection of collaborators which has three separate link columns.

Finally, I use a Layouter set up to use each of the above columns from the collaborator collection. The issues with this method come from having more than three links. I have to manually add columns and set up each item to accept additional links beyond three.

I would ideally like to use a separate collaborator link dataset, and then filter out what is displayed based on a reference to the collaborator dataset. However, I also want a separate repeater that dynamically extends (starting from the middle) as new links for a collaborator are added.

I appreciate any thoughts or solutions. Thank you.

Sounds like you’re on the right track with the setup and you should be able to do with reference fields . You would have two datasets; one for the links and info and another filtered to match up to the current dynamic page . Then on the dynamic page, you have the images and links show up only for the correct pages. Made a video tutorial that I’m sharing below.

Thank you for your reply. I ended up finding a much better solution by separating the information into a pseudo-lightbox container. The container appears whenever a collaborator is clicked and populates the information and links within based on which collaborator was clicked on.

@games-w-love Glad you found something and quite like the look.
