I’m trying to create a database in my Wix site. I have most things figured out but I can’t understand how to create a search query to make the database usable. I am so confused and have read everything I can in the documentation. I guess I don’t understand “java”. Is there any more robust “database” programs that will integrate with WIX? Can filemaker be linked to a WIX site? Any help is appreciated.
Hey Jason,
From an independent developer standpoint, I promise you the Wix database is extremely well designed, and will do what you want, once you figure it out.
What exactly do you want to do with it?
Hello Jason!
I understand that you’re new to Wix (and WixCode especially) so first of all - Welcome!
Now, let me assist you by directing you to a few articles that I think might be helpful to your goal of working with our database system.
Wix Code: About Connecting Page Elements to Database Content
Wix Code: About Database Collections
WixDataQuery API
As for integrating your site with 3rd-party services, we have a special method for that, its called wix-Fetch . Check it out!
One last thing, although similar by name, the coding language we use in Wix is actually JavaScript (JS).
In order to use our API’s you need to have some basic coding skills that can be easily taught via the internet. You can also check WixCode’s Youtube channel for simple tutorials.
Hope that helps!
Doron.
I would also like to have Filemaker work with Wix. I know it is possible and I “Kind of” understand the Wix-Fetch with the example I saw on the internet but… Filemaker required authentification and I don’t know and cannot find any example on how to connect to a 3rd party that required auth … Can someone help with this ?
