Dynamic Data Question

Hello all! I’ve been using Wix for about 48 hours now, and I am REALLY impressed. I am a long time off-and-on web developer having previously handwritten web apps in ColdFusion and PHP, as well as some JavaScript and jQuery coding.

I can’t tell if what I’m trying to accomplish is possible or not so I thought I would ask you all. Here’s the scenario. I want to have an administrative page where a member of office staff can login, select a family, and enter their monthly tuition and other fees into a collection. Then, when the family logs in and checks their account information page they can see only their tuition and other pertinent information. I know how I would do this in other languages. Is such a thing possible in Wix? Could someone point me in the right direction?

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback!
We hope you enjoy using the product.

As for what you asked, it should be possible to do this.
I can give you a few tutorials / articles that might help.

  1. https://www.wix.com/code/home/videos - There are many good tutorials there, but the one I think can be most relevant is ‘Database Collections, Data Binding and Advanced Admin Workflows’.
  2. Site Members: About the Member's Area | Help Center | Wix.com - You might be able to utilize ‘Members Area’ feature to save you some work with managing users.
    You can also use Dynamic Pages yourself to achieve this.
    More information can be found here: https://support.wix.com/en/wix-code/dynamic-pages
  3. Finally, you can see documentation for various APIs here: Velo API Reference - Wix.com .

If you need any further information, feel free to contact us any time.

Thanks,

Itay Koren
