I have encountered a weird problem. I basically have a database with icons (logos) and have set up my repeater to display the logos based on the database input - this works! Each image is unique based on what’s in the database.
Now, the problem is, that I have added another image (connected to the same database) that is supposed to display an icon (if there is one attributed to it). Since not all items in my repeater should have this icon, I decided to use the image only in the database entries that are supposed to have it and keep the other fields empty (so that there is no icon displayed in the items where there shouldn’t be one). Instead of NOT displaying anything where I’ve left it blank on purpose, the repeater has attributed (i guess) the icon that I’ve used in a couple of database rows as a default one. Even the ones without an image uploaded in their row have it! I have made sure that my database is synchronized to live properly, published, and I have also made sure that my image field in the repeater is connected to the proper database and respectable image field. For some reason it doesn’t keep the blank ones blank, it adds the image anyway!
You’ll need to provide more information in order to get assistance. Are you using code? If so, share it here in a code block. How do you have your Repeater set up? How are you populating the Repeater?
Hello there! Apologies for the lack of information (still a newbie here!). No, I do not use a code on the repeater in order to populate it, although I do have a code implemented to filter it out based on dropdown/user input options. I have connected the repeater using the wix interface option “Connect to Dataset” (I’ve attached an image).
And this works - the image field conencted to this dataset pulls the correct image from the database and displays it. However, items in the database that do not have an image attached to “thePledge” (the database field pictured above) which should be blank, are not blank - they still contain the image that only some databse rows have. Image for reference:
As you can see, most fields are blank (on purpose) as only a few of the repeater items are supposed to have this blue dot/badge attached to them. The plan was that this serves as a badge. If left blank in the database - there is no badge. If the badge has been uploaded to the field - there is a badge and it shows in the repeater. Though for some reason, these blank fields that do not have this badge image attached to them - still show the blue badge across the repeater. It seems like for some reason, this blue badge is the default image associated in case there is nothing uploaded to this database row.
Important to note: I have another image field in the database, which is Logos of companies. There are many different logos and I noticed that if left blank - there’s no image attributed to the field - which is how this should work as well but doesn’t.
I hope this makes more sense now!
Have a lovely day
@dlakadorijan Please post the URL and explain where and how to see the issue.
I can only post a picture and explain it again. Cannot post the link publicly because that segment of the webpage is not live yet and I do not want to risk getting in trouble with my employer.
“Senior Data Scientist” - it SHOULD have this blue circle badge. Because in my database field for “Senior Data Scientist” I have uploaded that badge in the image field.
“Test Job” does NOT have the blue circle image uploaded to the databse. Yet the repeater still shows it - even though the image in the repeater is connected to the correct dataset and field.
Hope this makes it more clear, picture above for database reference. Senior Data Scientist SHOULD have this blue badge image in the repeater container.
Test Job SHOULD NOT, hence why i left it empty in the database but the repeater still shows it.
I solved it!
The problem was that when adding an image element to a repeater, you automatically have to select one from your wix library. I guess it sets this as the default and appoints it to empty database image fields (even if you link the image in the repeater to a dataset manually). I just linked it to a blank photo of the same dimensions and got the result I wanted.
Glad you worked this out. Leaves me more time for beer.
