Hello! I have been working on mborozny.wixsite.com/4-ways-database much of today, now incorporating the new image upload button into the design. Now my images do load into the database collection. Hurray!
Here is the problems with which I have struggled for hours:
My select dynamic page field content is not populating in a gallery located on https://mborozny.wixsite.com/4-ways-database/kids-photos. The only way I can get the images to link to the designated kid’s photo pages is by attaching the link to each image in the Change Image option. To show you how it isn’t working, I have left the first image in the gallery without a link.
I have gone through the video tutorials, the article tutorials, the dynamic pages checklist, recreated the page several times, etc., and I cannot get the gallery to populate. I have ensured that the settings for the database are open to anyone except the delete from database field.
Additionally, I tried to create a list connected to the database (list selected from User Input Elements), and this did not work.
Extra info: I have synced data between the sandbox and live databases many times.
Please advise.
Hi,
You have an item in the collection without any data (looks like an empty row).
Can you please delete that row and try again?
You can delete a row by right-clicking the row header and selecting “Delete”:
Thank you, Tomer. I’ll give this a try in the morning and report back.
Tomer, would I do this in the sandbox or live database collection? Thank you.
I went in this evening and removed the row in sandbox mode. This didn’t resolve the display issue.
When you preview the page in the editor, it still doesn’t work? Or did you mean in the public site?
In both the editor and public sites.
I just got it to work! I analyzed the code for the page, it appears that the text comment for one of my photos was either too long or not formatted in a way the database would accept it. Also, for the Photo Gallery page, I connected my dynamic dataset using Child’s Name (single) as the link parameter, while I used “All” as the connection for the individual child photo profiles, incorporating the Previous and Next buttons. The new pages are located at https://mborozny.wixsite.com/4-ways-database/kids-photo-gallery and https://mborozny.wixsite.com/4-ways-database/kids-cooking-photos. Thank you.
What was the problematic text?
It was the text comment under “Julia.” I shortened it, and it seemed to work, allowing the 3 photos to populate properly.
well, text length should not have been an issue.
I suspect it was something else in that string, hence we may have a defect there.
can you find the original text?
can you try to make it long again and see if it works?
thanks.
Hi Ziv–I can backtrack later today; I’m about to start a meeting. Thank you.
So, the new text comment is, “Julia loves carrots since she was 2. Here she is making carrot risotto in our kitchen.” I cannot bring back the old comment, but it was something like “Julia loves carrots, and she has loved them in this photo, when she was 2. Here she is making carrot risotto in our kitchen.”
