Hello, 

I'm having troubles setting up a dynamic Feed for the GWD Bindings..

My Images in the Carousel keep changing but it's always the same Image but I have multiple Rows... 

I'll attach my Binding and Feed Setup.. 

Would really appreciate some help since I'm going nowhere with this for hours after watching countless tutorials and videos.. 


Thank you!!

Best,
Tom

Hi Tom,

Are you using DoubleClick file with the Custom Schema (the dynamic profile from your Studio account)?

For Studio Custom Schema, they will only return the first data of the feed from your dynamic profile when the binding is created and initialized, as you can see it in the "Generate code" section in Studio such as the following:

You probably notice the same "HTML5 generate code" in the your file if you look at the code view in GWD. That is the reason why you always see the same image in the carousel gallery when you preview your file locally from GWD. 

Can you please publish to Studio first and preview from Studio again?

By the way, in the screenshot that showed your binding "CRS | pluckandjoin Image_URL.url | join", I think when using "pluckandjoin", you probably don't need to add "join" again at the end. I tried to do the same in my own file but I have problem to preview the images in the gallery. 
Perhaps you can simply use "CRS | pluck Image_URL.url | join" for the binding?

Thanks,
Emily

Working now,
Thank you so much Emily! 

If I may I have one more question.. I'm trying to fetch the Image Feed directly from the assets ( Best Practice? ) but it doesn't seem to work... I Set the Field to AssetLibrary path but it's not Loading the Images ( not even the 1st row ). Do I need to change something in the GWD Bindings? 


Thanks again, 
Tom

I forgot to ask one more Question... There is a Possibilty to Load in the Feed through Google Docs but I get the "Error" that I need to first send the Document to "See Attachment" It's in German and it basically says that I need to first send it to the Email Adress... Is there an Approval Period? I would just like to test it since my Agency would like to extend their Portfolio to Dynamics. 

Thanks Again, 

Tom
