Hi Guys,
I have built out the majority of my website but I just need a function to link the button in my repeater to the direct profile of the member for which each the individual repeater box displays the information for (If that makes sense)
So basically I have a repeater showing snippets of user profiles and I want the button to link to the full profile.
Is this possible?
Many thanks in advance!
Which user profile are you talking about?
As both the Wix Members User Profile page and the Wix Members Profile tutorial page are only accessible by the specific site member themselves.

apparently we are in the same situation, from a repeater we need to link the item profile of a dynamic page.
my request:
Hi, thanks for responding.
I have created my own user profile pages as dynamic pages but I can’t link to an individual user’s profile page - is there a way to get a unique identifier within the database that I can use to link to?
Hi again,
Additionally, I see the member menu on the member ‘Profile’ page shows the below statement;
“Every member gets their own page. It’s public and other people can see it”
I have thought that the solution is to take the Url that autogenerates in the database and through them redirect the button event. but the name of the field of that Url always generates error in the code when from current data set I want to take it.
I have no coding experience or skill whatsoever so I am trying to just use the website GUI functionality! I built profile pages on both dynamic pages and over the existing wix member page but I cant link to either :S
Are you talking about the Wix Members app and it’s own Profile page as yes you can see each site members unique profile page there.
However, that is only for site members who are currently logged in who can view other site members profile pages from there.
If a general public user tried to access those profile links, then they would not get to see it as they don’t have the permissions to do so.
If you use the Wix Members app, then you are restricted to what you can do with that app as all those pages will be dynamic already and only be able to be viewed by the unique site member that they belong too.
Well apart from that one member profile page that is!
This is the profile page that Wix Members get, which is also connected to the Wix Forum and Wix Blog apps too.

You will also see the link to it in the My Account page which shows the community url for your profile page, which clearly states underneath that it is your own personalised url that other members can see.

Plus, you have access to that apps collection that gets added automatically to your site, however the permissions for that are site member and read only

To bypass it you will need to use Wix Data Options.

If you want to do members own profile then look at using the Wix Members Profile tutorial as shown here.

@givemeawhisky could you help me with my post? I’m stuck at this point and nobody has answered me. I thank you in advance
@givemeawhisky Thank you for your reply! So, with the community member page that other people are able to view, is there a way to link to that page? I.e. store that individual identifier in the database when a user uploads their info and link to that value from a button?
