I am trying to create a profile-type database and collection. I have a members-only page set up with a user input form that links to my database. Then my database has a dynamic page with a profile template design on it connected back to the collection.
I want the profile page (dynamic page) to be public and have the settings set to read-only. I want my members only page (user input page) to be read & write but it seems when I set it to that option it makes the form grey and I’m not able to fill in any information at all. I did test the page by setting it to write-only. I was able to fill and submit all the data I’m requesting and it uploaded to my database collection properly but then disappeared.
I would like my members to be able to sign in, see all the information they have previously entered in the database, make any changes to text, links or uploads, then update their information.
So I’m wondering if there is an issue with the read & write option or if I’m missing a step?
Do I need to connect my database differently or modify my user content page?
Same issue with me … doesn’t work with Read and Write but works when Write only. In fact I have realised it works if I input contents to fields first time when set to Write only and then changing it to Read and Write makes it start working … So Read and Write is not working when there is no previous values in the fields …
Just like @shriakhilesh007 said, read-write works when you have a previous submission available (saved to your collection as an item) it means that the first submission needs to be through a write-only form.
Usually, the workaround for that is creating two similar pages, both with the same form: First page: write-only dataset - first time submission. Second page: read-write dataset, use this page as the updating platform - grant access only to those with an existing form (and obviously each one for his own form and info - maybe dynamic pages will come in handy in this case)
// About dynamic pages
Still trying to figure all this out. I can make a read dataset page just fine, but I can’t quite figure out how to set up a read-write page where existing members (with data) can pull up THEIR data, edit (update) it, and resubmit?
Are there any articles or examples that cover this? I’ve read the dynamic pages info but it all seems to describe read-only uses of the data.
This has been my problem too. It seems like super basic functionality. A user has some data that they can continually update. There shouldn’t be a need for a 2nd page. Just the form that has their saved data. Or, the form is empty if they haven’t yet filled it out. Why wouldn’t “read/write” on the dataset achieve this. Seems like a design flaw/bug.
I’m trying to avoid using Corvid as much as possible. But, could I use that to achieve this behavior? How? The Wix videos don’t show this behavior.
