Sync two portals

[pctechtv]

I have a portal on my layout that has about 5 rows, I have another portal from the same relationship next to it that is only 1 row displaying a picture(container). How can I get the 1 row portal to be in sync with the active row of the 5 row portal and show it corresponding picture. Do I need to separate table occurrences? Thanks

Use a button or a script trigger in the first portal to set a global field or a variable to the ID of the record in the clicked/activated row. Use the global field/variable to filter the second portal.

untested - additional steps may be required to get the second portal to refresh.

Yes I cant get it to refresh, but the grabbing the ID part was very helpful. I did not know that clicking on a portal row could give you the ID via a script. From here I should be able to figure something out. Thanks

It was your method that exposed it for me, I quickly solved it by creating another table occurrence and setting the ID = to the global you suggested and it works like a charm. Thanks!

I should have pointed you here right from the start, but I plum forgot about it:
