Question About Dynamic Content
Paul Srch
I have a Collection called Webinars and a Collection called Modules. Each Module contains a Reference field pointing to a Webinar. There will be one or more modules per webinar, but it's not the same number of modules per webinar; one may have 1, another may have 5, and another may have 3 modules.
Can a Dynamic Detail Page for a Webinar automatically display all related Module records where Module.Webinar = Current Webinar?
Is there a supported way to build parent/child relationships between collections and render the child records dynamically on a Detail Page?
What I'm looking to do is build a single dynamic content page that shows informatin for each webinar from the webinars collection, and then all of the modules assiciated with that webinar. Not sure if this is possible, but it would be nice to have the modules in an accordian.

Accepted AnswerHello,
Yes, this parent/child setup is supported in SP Page Builder Pro 6.4.0 and later. Version 6.4.0 introduced filtering through Reference and Multi-Reference fields in the Collection addon.
On the Webinar Dynamic Detail Page:
-
Add a Collection addon.
-
Select Modules as the source collection.
-
Add a filter using:
- Condition: Related
- Association Field: Webinar
It will automatically display only the Module records connected to the currently viewed Webinar, regardless of how many modules each webinar has.
A fully dynamic Accordion item for each module is not currently available through the standard Accordion addon, so that part may require a custom addon or override.

Accepted AnswerI havent been able to fully implement this yet, but it looks like it will be exactly what I need, so I will mark it as accepted.

Accepted AnswerI'm now working on something related (haven't been able to get back to the originial issue yet).
I have a set of "Courses", set up as a dynamic collection. I also have a set of "Instructors" also set up as a dynamic collection.
In the Courses collection, I have a field named "Instructors" which is set up as a multiple reference to the Instructors collection.
I can edit an item in the Courses collection and select one or more Instructors.
However, on the Details page for the Courses, I can't figure out how to get the specific instructor or instructors for the course I'm looking at to show up. When I use the Dynamic Text addon, the dropdown for the field does not include Instructors as an option, so I can't select it.
Can you figure out what I'm doing wrong?
