Enhance Wix's membership profile page

Hello.
I am using Wix’s new membership settings: not a manual database. There seem to be a stock set of options members can upload to their profile, and I want to add a few more. I want the member to be able to add their website and their social media links to their profile. And then for those to be publicly visible as social media icons attached to their profile. Ideally I could modify the “about” module to include a few more form settings (so I don’t need to add multiple “submit” buttons).

I found this page: CMS: Creating Custom Member Profile Pages | Help Center | Wix.com … However it seems to be adding private information to a separate page: not information that can be publicly attached to their profile and visible (and non-editable) to everyone.

Is there a more comprehensive code editing area? All I see is a panel on the bottom of my screen that says:

$w.onReady( function () {
//TODO: write your page related code here…
});

Thank you!

Hi Deanna!

What you mention should be relatively simple to accomplish by creating a database that queries your existing member’s database and allows members to store these links on their profile page. Or else you have the option of creating a custom member’s page so you can simply have all of this data in one database. You will have to get comfortable with the API for this.

That panel at the bottom of your screen is much more comprehensive than you might think and is what you would probably need here, but in addition you also have the Backend and Public areas to tell the server what to do or create modules. Unless you are linking to an external database outside of Wix, I don’t think you’ll need this.

I’m available if you would like help doing this, otherwise best of luck!
