Marketplace dashboard - Linking multiple collections

Hi all,

I’m relatively new to coding and have been learning on the go so please bear with me. In short I’m building a sort of marketplace website and I’m trying to create a Member dashboard that links to 3 different collections:

  1. Members collection
  2. Items collection → each item needs to be connected to a member (Member ID) from the Members collection.
  3. Orders collection → each order needs to be connected to an item (Item ID) from the Items collection.

In this dashboard I would like to build 3 main pages:

  1. a member’s page that displays (and updates) data from the Members collection – DONE
  2. a page that displays, and allows this specific signed-in member (Member ID) to add his own items (Item ID) to the items collection.
  3. a page that displays, and allows this specific signed in member (Member ID) to edit orders in the Orders collection connected to his items.

I have successfully finished step 1: a Member profile page, pulling and displaying data from the Members collection. Additionally, I have created an update page in order to update the data in the Members collection. (followed this very helpful tutorial: Tutorial )

I’m getting stuck in a few places:

  1. I can’t figure out how to create a (Member ID) column in the Items collection, that links each (Item ID) with a (Member ID).
  2. Same but how to create an (Item ID) column in the Orders collection that links each (Item ID) with an (Order ID). (haven’t gotten this far yet)
  3. I can’t seem to figure out how to navigate from the (Members Pages) to/from (Items Pages) to/from (Orders Pages) - I’ve tried the wix.Location API but keep getting an “error 404”

ANY help, whether pointing me to tutorials or showing me where to look would be greatly appreciated.
