Email as passcode - compared to user input?

Hello all!

I’m looking to create a passcode protected page, but I would like people to access it by entering their email address that they had previously entered on a form - if it’s an email address that was not entered into the form, it will not let them in.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hi,

I assume your form is submitted to a database collection holding all email addresses.
If so, use ’ wixData.query() ’ to check if the email exists when clicking a button (set a button onclick() )

Thank you! I’m very new to coding - where would each of these functions go? Is one embedded in the other?

Hi,

Yes… you should set onClick for your button that will look a bit like this:

export function button1_click() {
    const input = $w('textInput1').value;
    wixData.query('collectionName').eq('email', input).find().
        then(result => {
            //do something here...
        });
}

Thank you!

Everything worked perfectly when I did this through preview - however once the page was published, nothing happens. Any reason that could be happening?
