How to Create a Private Journal

Hi! So I’m having trouble with understanding if this is possible to do and how to do it. I want a section for journals or diaries that are private, that nobody can see. Kinda like how the site Penzu is. I want to have private entries for people and to have the option of multiple notebooks (similar to a folder) so they can separate topics if need be. (This is just for one page, not the entire website itself.)

Is there a way to achieve this? Please let me know. Thank you.

You can make certain pages password protected or only available to site members or only available to site members who have a specific member role etc.

You will find out more about this on the Wix Support pages.

Plus through the Wix Users API too to check the currently logged in users details.

Thank you!

However, that wasn’t everything I was looking for I think… I don’t know how to create a way for people to press a button and it takes them to that area for writing. Or how to create a way for people to press a button and it creates a folder where they can keep all these writings (or notes). I understand putting in the buttons, and I notice you can add links, but is that how I do it? Do I create a page where I can link them to that area? I also don’t know how to create that- how to create the place for them to write.

I apologize for this, I just don’t understand how to create a website like the way I’m thinking even though everyone says using Wix is as simple as a click…

@4223justin I think you should go through the Community Guidelines to understand the kind of support you can expect from this forum.

No Freebies. Don’t expect anyone to provide code snippets or full solutions; the community is here to help you learn how to solve problems.

What you are trying to accomplish is a bit advanced so if you are completely lost you can hire someone from the Wix Arena which is a hub for Corvid and other experts.

@shantanukumar847 Thank you. But I think I may have to just quit this idea and let it never see the time of day.

You can create a form that a user submits to a database. I’m still trying to figure out how to then filter so that the member only sees their entries from the database.

THIS WAS SOOOO HELPFUL!!!
