Hey everyone,
So I’m building a WIX site with a Premium account and I wanted to create a site that was a public database that people could update by submitting their info and then see the data on a page on the site.
Basically, you enter your info and it shows up.
Do you guys have any tips on how to do it? I’ve created Datasets and the fill-in boxes etc. I just don’t know how to put a database publicly and visible on the site.
Thanks! Appreciate it
The dataset you have created will connect to a data collection which is essentially a table in a database. So whatever you save there you simply need to render to your users.
The key is to save the update properties and then refresh the dataset (wix-dataset - Velo API Reference - Wix.com) which will update the view(s) you have set up for the data.
The easiest way to populate you page (Lightbox, Repeater etc) is to use dataset binding as described here:
Ensuring the data in a form is saved requires you to connect a button to the correct dataset function:
Hope this helps.
Hello,
As Stcroppe mentioned that is one way to make a members page, and offers more customization.
Another method is using the official Wix members feature. Here is a video tutorial describing how to set it up and an overview of it. In regards to your case, I think this will help you greatly.
Best,
Majd
Just to add to Majd’s comment. To use the membership mechanism to actually allow the members to manage their data then you probably should also look at this documentation and its related links:
