Hello,

I’m looking to create a real estate website with advanced search and these parameters:

  • 3 store categories: Residential, Commercial, Vacant Lot.
  • Home page search can search all 3 based on which is selected.
  • Search within each category would search just that category.
  • Search parameters are: Neighbourhood, Price, Tags (keywords from listing).
  • They can search with just Neighbourhood or Neighbourhood + Price, Neighbourhood + Tags, or Neighbourhood + Price + Tags.

Is this possible with Wix? Squarespace looked like the viable option but the last point can’t be achieved.

Hi Jay,
I recommend checking out this video tutorial regarding this matter.
You can also this thread for an example of filtering a repeater and this thread regarding filtering a table using multiple user inputs.

Moreover, note that currently there’s no integration of Wix Code with Wix Stores.

Best,
Tal.

Your new platform is literally blowing my mind. I had no idea WIX had these types of capabilities. So, I get how search works, and I get how databases work but my last issue is what about creating databases with addresses that link to maps, video embeds and image galleries?

Essentially, I’m looking to recreate this page in a way:

Hi,
You can check out this thread about adding a Google Map to your page. Moreover, note that that you can create a dynamic page and add the Google Map to the page so it displays the map of a particular location.
You can check out this thread regarding creating a Google Map with multiple markers (if necessary).
As for displaying image galleries connected to a database, I recommend reviewing this article .

Good luck!
Tal.

What about video and image galleries with lightbox?

Check out the last article I mentioned above, it’s about displaying image galleries dynamically. You can a gallery to a lighbox and bind them to the DB collection. As for videos- currently, there’s no option to upload videos to a DB collection. You can submit a feature request here .

Best,
Tal.

Sorry. Don’t know how I missed that. No video huh? That really sucks. It’s the last feature I need to move over a bunch of sites. I submitted it. With video being so critical to success online these days I hope it’s added this month.

I just had a thought … could I create an image with a link to light box a video as a popup? Something similar to the “Watch our Video” button on this page? I created this one on Squarespace.

You can have a video URL saved in your database, set the video URL and display it. Note that it should be a video from Vimeo or Youtube. In order to open a lightbox whenever someone clicks on an image, you can use the openLightbox function.

Good luck,
Tal.

I actually figured it out, and it works exactly as it should but there’s a small glitch. I was adding a social video player and then using a URL cell in the database. It wouldn’t work. Then your college mentioned that same technique in another post on here so I went back in to see what was going on. Presto-chango, it works perfectly. For some reason I had to close out of the editor and go back in to get it to function properly.

I have a dataset with text fields and a URL field
I have created a table, and want do display the video that relates to the row that is selected in a lightbox.
How do you do that?

The Table has fields as follows:

“Title”
“Description”
“Author”

The dataset it is linked to also has a field called
“Link” (which is a URL type field)
I’ve not though shown this field in the Table.

I’ve looked at the onrowselect, and row commands, and oncurrentindexchange and get selected item commands, but cannot get the wix window open lightbox functions to work properly.

The Tabel ID is “Video Tutorials”
The Lightbox page is called “Video Lightbox”

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried sending the video URL of the row selected to the lightbox using the openLightbox function?
Should the issue persists, please send the site URL and specify the page name, I’ll have a look.

Thanks,
Tal.

HI Tal,

Thanks for replying!

Its more a question of not knowing where to start.
I deleted the page out of frustration

Its similiar to your other posts using Table Cell Select and if that cell contains an image, it opens that image in a Lightbox.

My problem is slightly different. I want to load the video into a lightbox.

Dataset:
The videos are actually on youtube, and their URLs are referenced in a dataset called “Video Tutorials”, in a field called “Link” , with field type “URL”

The other details are as decribed in my earlier post.

On the page I’ve created: The Table has fields as follows:

“Title”
“Description”
plus a few more purely decriptive text fields

The Table is linked to a dataset called “Video Tutorials”, which has a field called
“Link” (which is a URL type field) - where the Video URLs are stored

Right now, I’ve just included the Video URLs as a linkpath to the first column (Called “Title” of the Table)

See here >> (bottom half of page)

https://sachin1882.wixsite.com/startechcapital/guides

Does that make the problem clearer?

I’d like it so that when a particular row is selected, it opens the video (related to that row) in a lightbox
OR, that
when the linkpath of the first column is clicked, that it doesn’t open the link in a new window - as it currently does -, but opens it in a lightbox

I don’t think the second option is possible, and I’m failing at the first. : - (

Hi!

How do we add an additional dropdown after 3 dropdowns (that are conditional) to filter whatever results with a new condition?

So to be specific

My drop down 1 needs to ask the province of the property
drop down 2 needs to ask the city within the province selected
drop down 3 needs to ask the district within the city selected

and i want to add a drop down 4 asking the user to specify another condition if they need a premium building, grade a, b, or c

Hope someone can help
