Hi Zaid,

you have set the dataset with read/write permissions, meaning it can also update data records not only insert (which you really wanted), therefore you find it keep editing the same record every time, just replacing the image.
please also consider what you want to put (if any at all) at your other columns in your db collection - title and number, the problem will be more clear then.
also think about how you want to display/search the uploaded content and then you may want to separate the display page from upload new image form

if you fix the settings as here below, it will fix the issue:

Shlomi,

thank you for the feedback.
in all honesty i don’t have an experience with web design,
what i want to do is the following, it is web invite for my upcoming wedding.
the idea i had is to give people the possibility to upload the pictures that they take during the wedding so we could view them and download them when we want and at the same time building kind a gallery so friends and family could view them too.
do you have any suggestion about how i could set up suck a site.

thanks again.
Zaid

Hi, indeed it requires using wix code at the moment proceeding with the direction you started,
please have a look at the following link - https://www.wix.com/code/home/repeaters
or if you want to avoid wix code altogether use an iframe to display a shared photo album from google/facebook etc but this is not the goal of this forum :wink:
