User Specific Content (v2)

Sorry for not using the correct terminology but i’m a complete begginer to wix code and am still learning.

I will be providing / selling music services.

For example, a user uploads a music track for it to be mixed and processed in our music studio; the user then pays for this service while uploading the track (this is all done using a third party form as Wix Stores and forms doesn’t currently offer the option to sell services etc).

I would like each user to be able to monitor the status of their order and view previous orders. Since I can’t see a way of this information being available automatically using wix code at the moment; is there a way of me updating each customers profile page manually with the status of the current order and previous orders?

Lastly, is there a way of visually customizing these order / profile pages? Most demos of wix code I have seen look like plane table layouts. Otherwise I would be happy to manually create a page for each user although I don’t think wix offers individual password protected pages for discrete users (i think wix only offers general member pages).

I have attached an image of the kind of page I would like each user to see - like i said, i’m happy to manually edit the status of the order either through WYSYWIG methods or through wix code. But i need some advise as to the capabilities of wix code for this kind of service or what direction I should take.

Hi,

thank you for a detailed explanation of what you are trying to achieve.

First on the member pages. You do have an option of individual password protected pages the Editor. If you go to page Settings → Permissions you have an option to set a password for a specific page.

However, we may have better options here. What you could do, is use Wix Member Login application to allow your site members to have profiles. This will create a profile page for each of your members. What you can do further, is customise the page to pull additional information from a Wix Data collections. For example, you could have a collection with all the orders, so you can show user his/her history. This way you only need to update users data in the database. Furthermore, you don’t need to visually duplicate pages for each user.

Regarding visual complexity, the editor is really rich. Aside from table, you can use Repeaters to display visually rich and complex elements for every repeating item in your data. You can use graphics elements and a bit of show&hide magic in Wix Code to display the order progress bar.

I hope this puts you on the right track. Let me know if you have any further questions.
