Are you a Wix user struggling with long text overflowing in your repeater? Worry not! In this blog post, we will walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to shorten repeater text characters in Wix with no code required. With just a few simple steps, you can achieve a sleek and organized design for your website. So let's dive in and learn how to shorten repeater text characters with ease!



Step 1:

Add a Collapsible Text Element The first step in shortening repeater text characters is to add a collapsible text element to your Wix page. You can easily do this by dragging and dropping the collapsible text element onto your canvas. Once added, you can customize the design of the collapsible text according to your preferences.


Step 2:

Change Text to Link Next, click on the "Change Text" option in the collapsible text settings and select "Link." This will allow you to connect the collapsible text to your repeater data later on.


Step 3: Turn on Dev Mode and Disable "Read More" Button To further customize the collapsible text, you can turn on Dev Mode in Wix, which reveals the "Show Button" toggle. You can disable this toggle to hide the "Read more" button in the collapsible text, making it appear as a shortened text by default.



Step 4:

Change Design of Collapsible Text You can also change the design of the collapsible text to match the aesthetics of your website. Click on "Change Design" to customize the font, size, color, and other design elements to make it visually appealing.



Step 5:

Determine Number of Lines to Show in Collapsible Text To control the length of the text displayed in the collapsible text, click on "Layout" and specify how many lines of text you want to show when it is shortened. This allows you to display a concise and organized text in your repeater.



Step 6:

Drag Collapsible Text into Repeater and Connect to Data Once you have customized the collapsible text, you can drag and drop it into your Wix repeater. Connect it to your repeater data by simply selecting the field in your database that contains the text you want to shorten for each repeater item.


Step 7:

Connect to Database Field with Texts to Shorten Finally, connect the collapsible text element to the appropriate field in your database that contains the texts you want to shorten. This will automatically populate the collapsible text with the shortened text for each repeater item.


Conclusion:

And there you have it! With these easy steps, you can shorten repeater text characters in Wix with no code required. This simple yet effective solution allows you to achieve a clean and organized design for your website, without the need for complex coding.


Say goodbye to long overflowing text in your repeater and welcome a sleek and user-friendly design. We hope this step-by-step guide has been helpful and that you can implement it in your Wix website.

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

});
