🔔 Let's get started! 🎉


Steps

  1. Add a lightbox to your site

  2. Add elements you wish to display

  3. Connect the elements to your dataset

The Code


Step 1: Import wix window.

The wix-window module contains functionality that pertains to the current browser window.
import wixWindow from 'wix-window';

Step 2: Add a page code to your repeater to get the ID of the item and send it to your lightbox

$w.onReady(function () {

    $w("#repeater9").onItemReady(($w, data) => {

        $w("#triggerButton").onClick(() => {

            wixWindow.openLightbox("lightboxName", data._id)

        });

    });

});

Step 3: Import wix window and wix data on your lightbox to receive data from the repeater on your page

import wixWindow from 'wix-window';
import wixData from 'wix-data';

Step 4: Use the lightbox getContext() function to receive the data(ID) and use it to filter the dataset using the dataset's setFilter() function.


$w.onReady(function () {

    let dataID = wixWindow.lightbox.getContext();

    console.log(dataID)

    $w("#dataset1").setFilter(wixData.filter().eq("_id", dataID));

});

That's it!

Love the tutorial!!!

You are truly great at creating these instructional videos!! Thank you! I am having trouble figuring out . . 'the triggered email' . . it is not being sent to the user submitting the form, the form and the email to the admin works great. . Could you point me to where this might have already been addressed? or any other help? On a second note. .the submit button success/failure message will go back to the default message once it's connected to the data set(I couldn't figure that out either. )

Great Tutorial

Hi !

First of all, I want to thank you for your great tutorials, they helped us a lot with the coding.
But I still need your help, if you don't mind. I have based on Save Calculated Field using Wix Data Hooks Codes, to code my form . but the problem is I don't know why the code only reads the computation for "week2" computation and not the "weeks"

here is the code

I also did a separate column in the dataset where the chosen datas for both fields will be placed.

$w.onReady (() => {
$w("#Person").onChange(() => {
$w("#weeks").onChange(() => {
$w("#week2").onChange(() => {
let person = Number($w("#Person").value);
let weeks = Number($w("#weeks").value);
let week2 = Number($w("#week2").value);


$w("#totalLabel").show();

$w("#totalLabel").text = `"${String(weeks * Number(person))}페소"`; //DESIGN YOUR MESSAGE
$w("#totalLabel").text = `"${String(week2 * Number(person))}페소"`; //DESIGN YOUR MESSAGE

});
});
});

});

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I see why this is a problem. The onChange() function seems wrong in combination.

To combine onChangeFunctions use this method

$w("#Person, #weeks, #weeks2").onChange(() => {

//code here

});
