I am looking for the best way to create a portal. I am creating a virtual school on IMVU (a virtual world) and want to make it so that when students click on their name on the website it will ask them for a password to sign in. Once they input the password it will take them to their portal which I can display grades and etc.
Anyone know the best way to do that?
Just do something like this then.
https://support.wix.com/en/article/corvid-tutorial-building-your-own-members-area
You can simply use the tutorial as a base to work off of and simply put in whatever user input you wish to have on there.
Plus, you don’t have to stick with the Wix own windows for login and signup, you can create your own custom lightboxes for login and signup so that they can match your own website branding and design.
But doesn’t that make them create a profile? I’ve seen one where you just click on a button and the button takes you to a page that says “Guest Area” and asks for a password and with the password opens up just your portal.
Yes. however I did say that you could use it as a base for you to work off from, so you don’t have to have the seperate update page if you don’t want to. Neither do you have to do a profile page either, you can add whatever elements you want onto that page and it will be only that unique member who can see their own dynamic page.
That could be your guest area with a button called ‘My Portal’ which if clicked, brings up either your own custom login lightbox or Wix own login window and once the user has logged themselves in, they then get taken to their own page.
Either that or you write your own code that gets the current users id after they log themselves in and takes them to their own unique dynamic page.
For that these two api reference will get you started.
