A lot of the features in the New Wix blog are things I was considering building with Wix Code to build a community site where users submit posts.
e.g. In New Wix Blog site Members can:
-
Add posts
-
Manage their own posts
-
Manage comments on their posts
-
Manage their profile page

Which makes me think “don’t reinvent the wheel if Wix has already just built memberships with blogging”
…but can I connect and use Wix Code functionality with New Wix Blog to customise it? Or is Wix Blog effectively a standalone app where I can’t access its database?
Why? I want to be able to:
-
Format new posts using a form into the Wix blog. This form would allow: A title, an image, URL, description text, category drop down and a number field. So the site wouldn’t allow free format blogs from the site members.
-
Have a small workflow - where I approve posts before they are published (to eliminate spam)
Is this possible, or will I need to replicate it from scratch using Wix Code?
