I need help with getting the $w.onReady() function to be called on my product page. I’ve the same code in my product gallerie pages which works fine. When I put the code in the product page it doesn’t seem to fire the $w.onReady() function. All I’m trying to do is an Insert into a database collection. Can anyone help?

Greetings, it’s not clear whether or not you are using a dataset. If so, you need to add an onReady for that too so that you are assured that the dataset is loaded before adding a record.

$w.onReady(function () {
    $w('#dataset1').onReady( () => {
        $w('#dataset1').new();
    }) 
})

I was able to add a record in preview mode in the onReady function of a product page with the wixData.insert command.

I’m using the following code

import wixData from ‘"wix-data’;

$w.onReady( function () {

let toInsert ={ “pageName”: “Product”};

wixData.insert(“SiteHits”, toInsert)

});

I’m using the product page from stores. It’s added when I added my store. I have no idea if it’s using a dataset. When I inserted your code, the compiler gave me errors $w(#pageApp1).onReady().

Here’s my scenario. On my home page I have a collection of items. When the user clicks on one the product page displays just that selected one. It also has an add to cart button. When the user clicks that an item is added to the cart. When the user clicks back or the menu item, the home page is redisplayed.

Hope you can help, thanks. Chris

@cmclarenmcl Your code looks fine. The only thing it could be is your collection name or field key is not correct. Both are case sensitive. In the example below from the collection page, “roomType” is the field key and what Wix Query recognizes.

@tony-brunsman , I use the same code in 4 pages. Those pages insert an item in a data collection properly. But the same exact code doesn’t do anything on the product page. Is it possible that because the product page is built dynamically there is no call to the pages $w.onReady() function? Maybe an oversight? I’d be more than happy to let you see my site if that would help?

@cmclarenmcl I just tested the code on a dynamic product page onReady and it did write the data. At this point, it would be good to see your site. I’m wondering if you’re getting an error.

@tony-brunsman That would be great. my site is ayersresinart.com. How do I give you permission to look at what I’m doing?

@cmclarenmcl There is an error when you go to the product page:

You have a double quote around the left side of wix-data and a single quote on the right side. I didn’t notice that in your code above. Make that ‘wix-data’ and that should solve it.

@tony-brunsman You’re awesome. Thanks for the help. I’ve looked and looked. Thanks again. Great job!
