What?
You can now use Selection Tags in your input forms to allow visitors to select and submit multiple choices. This info is stored in your database collection when the form is submitted.
How?
After adding the Content Manager, the Input category in the Add panel will be added, where you can find Selection Tag presets. Next, connect the Tags component and the Submit button to your collection.
Reminder
Allow Write permissions for your dataset and also set the collection type to be Form Submission.
Enjoy!
Great! Is it also possible to use it to display tags?
It would be very nice to use this to show filtered content in a repeater with the tags in in the content manager. I don't think it is possible yet.
Hi,
You can achieve it using code. Have a look at this video, which is demonstrating on Wix Editor and not on Editor X but it will run through the steps to achieve your need. Please follow up if you have any further question. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRdm7NjOouU
@Naama Great! That will be no problem to do! Thanks
+1 for Leo's suggestion:
It would be great to use these tags as an user-input to filter datasets in repeaters as a very simple but elegant way to filter products, services, items etc.
Right now it is only possible to use the user-input in form of a dropdown menu. Is there a reason why the other input types (like radio-buttons i.e.) are not supported in the dataset-filters?
Hi Chris,
Check out my reply to Leo regarding Repeaters.
About the other comment, I have shared your suggestion with the relevant product team.
Thank you 🤗
Is it possible to to have multiple filters ? or just a search bar ? theo
You can use tags as search, as well as a search bar. Just use the .and query when you use the selection tags to filter the content. wixData.
Has anyone successfully used the code from the example Naama provides above?
@Naama Ben-Oliel Ronen Checked my code matches and not working for me on an EditorX site…
It worked for me. What is the problem exactly?
Hi Leo
We've got it working but have two problems.
The sort order set in the dataset settings is no longer working, the repeaters are coming out in a random order.
The first tag is selected on page load, can't see anywhere in the code that's defined.
Did you have any issues like this?
Matt
