I have a external collection of wines coming from Algolia (the search feature is so good), on the page I want the user to be able to favorite, comment and review the wine:
Just the information I need to show a simple listing on their profile. But my problem is then, when a user clicks a wine, how would I be able ti query my external collection with the ID to get that specific wine?
Or does this need to be stored in Algolia to easily get out?
A question also: When I want to list all the favorites and link to the wine info page, is there any way to pull the information from Algolia for one object without having to use a list?
A little update here:
I’ve tried now to make a list of the “Local Algolium” in the profile with the entries that belongs to the user, and inside that list have another list to do the lookup of that object to Algolia:
But the objectID of the Local Algolia (seen in last screenshot) is not passed to Algolia, even tough I can easily print it inside the list without any issues… Any take on this? @Ben@ashley@jeremy
Yeah, that’s what I wanted but the list inside the list (with a external collection) is not getting the ObjectID from parent list. It’s only sending a empty request…
I’ve managed to work around this by loading the local info into a hidden input box, then using that to run the query. I’m using Airtable. Also the new custom actions may have more options for workarounds that I haven’t explored yet (e.g. using arrays).
@alexid95 - Are you still working on this project / using Algolia with Adalo? Trying to implement it myself and wondering if you’ve run into the same issues I am (and how you may have resolved them).
