My demo does not match the Wized Academy tutorial

[jillbascome]

Good day, I have started the wized academy tutorial. I have entered the get_products_list as per instruction but do not get the complete item list show up as it appears in the tutorial. I believe that is also why my items are showing either.

Wized

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hey @jillbascome!

Let’s work through this systematically to get your product list working

Check these three key areas:

1. Request Configuration

• Open your Wized configurator and test the get_products_list request manually
• Check if the response shows data in the data object
• If empty or showing errors, verify your endpoint URL, authentication settings, and HTTP method

2. Element Binding

• Find your product list wrapper element and confirm it has a wized attribute (like wized="product_list")
• Check the Render List configuration points to the correct data path (e.g., r.get_products_list.data.products)
• Make sure you’ve set an index variable (like v.i)
• Verify child elements have their own wized attributes with proper configurations

3. Page Load Trigger

• Check if you have a “Page Starts Loading” or “Page Finishes Loading” event that triggers your request
• If not, create one to fire your get_products_list request when the page loads

Could you share screenshots of these three areas? This would help me identify exactly what’s happening with your setup

If we can’t resolve it through these steps, @Support-Luis, @Support-Pedro or @jesse.muiruri can take a deeper look at your specific configuration.

I think this is the problem, I have products in quotes so I have the text…(am I right…and wrong)? How is this supposed to appear

Hi @jillbascome

That seems ok - the specific highlights is from the data store Requests | Wized Docs

You can actually check if your request has actual data returned by it there.

If you can see data - usually in JSON format then that means the data loads correctly, otherwise there could be an issue with the way the request runs and an error message should show still in the data store.

If the data is confirmed to load, the next item to be checked would be the elements configuration. You can access your elements( Intro to the elements | Wized Docs ) and check if the elements present to display the contents are configured correctly with the appropriate render list configuration (Render List | Wized Docs) and set text (Text configuration | Wized Docs) setting

Also you can share a preview to your project for us to get a better look because the link earlier provided is a view restricted to owners and editors of a project. You can get the preview link by accessing your project settings and under the “Share Project” option enable sharing and a link will be shown.

It looks like I checked all the boxes but I know I am missing something.

[elvisben]

I’ve seen the preview and the element settings doesn’t have a configuration to enable it to show content. I believe you are on this course: Wized academy if so - this topic is explained in module 3, have you reached there yet or are you on another course?

[jillbascome]

I am in wized academy course and I went through module 3, obviously not thoroughly. I will go back to it now and hopefully resolve my issue. Thank you for the help…I knew it was my newbie-ness.

I now remember that I couldn’t understand where I was to enter the array[index] as per instruction and all the steps after. I see the array for products and the items inside when I open the function editor but I don’t see where I am to do the tasks instructed in the course. Good thing is I do follow the concepts I just don’t see where I am to enter so that I can connect the index

[elvisben]

First you need to do the render list this will be on the item_list attribute. When you click on this element an option should appear on the left panel with the List setting you are supposed to choose your variable and the array - simply doing this will duplicate the element a number of times equal to the number of items in the array an example is below:

Next you’ll choose the element of content you want to render eg say item_price you’ll click on it once more and on the left panel there is the Text setting. You’ll use a combination of the array and the index to get to the actual item and then access the property you want, this is through JS object notation - in this case if it price it would be return r.myRequestWithData.data[v.myIndexVariable].price
A sample is as below

[jillbascome]

But when I select the item list element and go to index variable it just says select and there is no drop down with a list setting I am supposed to choose. If this is because the data attribute isn’t in the webflow side, I cannot check it to see. It was the template I assume we all connect to for the course, so assuming all attributes are there, how do I select the variable or do I create one by hitting the plus, would the index variable show then? I can’t proceed to the rest of the solution without it that much I know…

[elvisben]

I see - then I believe you haven’t added a variable in this project.

To add a wized variable go over to the data store and under the variables section there is a + button you can then name the variable appropriately eg myVariableForRenderingList

You can check out some further documentation: Variables | Wized Docs
