Example: Input Repeaters

@barb Are you still having a problem with the dates sometimes being blank? If so, post a new question with the details so your problem gets the attention it deserves.

@Yisrael (Wix) Will do. Thanks for checking in!

Silly me didn't see @barb post here already 🙈🙉🙊🐵🥃

@Yisrael (Wix) Hey Yisrael, one more quick question. I have page that is taking almost 1 minute to load. It is not something that I can readily put on the forum, but it is a key component of my website. How can I get some help in addressing this. We are getting close to doing a product launch and I have already done a couple of client presentations with the site, however, I really have to do something about the speed as even during the presentation my clients and I are sitting there watching a blank screen. Many thanks, talk to you soon. Chris

@chrs_ppls I would really suggest that you contact the Wix support team regarding the page load time, as they will be better equipped to address this subject.

If you feel that this is Wix Code issue, then post the Editor URL of your site. Only authorized Wix personnel can get access to your site in the editor. Please include the name of the page involved.

@Yisrael (Wix) .... Well I have called them like 4 times already and the canned answer is always, "since there is code on the page we will have to ask you to turn to the Wix support forum."

I know that certain things however are not a code issue, but just the fact that my page has code on it pretty much gives the support team an instant disqualifier from helping me at all. For example, below is a picture of a page where the text gets messed up on the load.

As soon, as I right click and attempt to have a look at the console in chrome, it automatically snaps into place and there are no errors shown in the console.

That is not a coding error, there is something happening on the back-end there, I think.

Perhaps you can help me with this, but quite frankly I have literally spent hours with the support team and sent multiple emails back and forth even after they said that they would escalate the issue to the development team. After about 5 emails back and forth however, I found out that the email traffic was with a regular support agent and not someone from the development team, after which I again got the canned, please turn to the forum guidance.

Many thanks in advance.

I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work with data pickers, although I haven't tried it myself. I guess I will someday.

@Yisrael (Wix) The date picker(calender window) isn't showing outside the container of the repeater So we need to create a enough space for the container to show the full date picker

@Yisrael (Wix) I added a box collapsed on load to allow room for the date picker calendar to pop up. When the user clicks the datePicker, the code expands the box and the calendar pops up. I have added a close button to close it but if the user doesn't notice it and clicks back on the date picker field, the space and the close button remain.

I'd like it to collapse the box automatically whenever the calendar closes but I haven't been able to do this automatically.

Go to this link for a little video of the behavior of the problem. (Probably too big to include in this post) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqVwwlxJf0s

code relevant to this video

$w.onReady(function () {
$w("#datasetTable").onReady(() => {})

//to expand box for calendar when user clicks on datePicker
$w("#datePicker1").onClick((event) => {
let $item = $w.at(event.context);
$item('#box1').expand();
});
});

//Close button to collapse box for calendar
export function Close_click(event) {
let $item = $w.at(event.context);
$item('#box1').collapse();
}

// collapse box when user changes date
export function datePicker1_change(event) {
let $item = $w.at(event.context);
$item('#box1').collapse();
}

NEED HELP

Is there a way to collapse the box whenever the calendar collapses without the user having to click the workaround "close" button? (watch the video if this doesn't make sense).

Thanks in advance if anyone has a suggestion.

By the way, Yisreal's example above seems to be working now. I used it to create the page I show in the video on this post. The page is his method to add new items, edit input fields, and delete fields. My only problem (which is being reviewed by support) is that sometimes, the datePicker field is empty when I click Show more entries. A real head scratcher! I know the dates are in the data collection because I can display a date in a text field even when the datePicker shows it is blank.
