Yes, you can achieve a URL structure with multiple sub-collections in Webflow without creating separate collection paths. This can be done using the Parent Collection feature in Webflow.
Here is how you can achieve this:
- Create the Parent Collection:
- First, create a collection that will be the parent for the sub-collections. This parent collection will determine the first part of the URL structure.
- Set up the fields for this parent collection, such as "Title" and any other relevant fields.
- Create and publish some parent collection items with unique titles.
- Create the Sub-Collections:
- Now, create the sub-collections that will be nested within the parent collection.
- Each sub-collection will have its own unique fields and settings.
- Set Up the Relationships:
- In each sub-collection, create a reference field that will link it to the parent collection. This reference field will establish the relationship between the parent and the sub-collection.
- Make sure to set the "Reference field" to the parent collection.
- Design the Templates:
- In the Designer section of Webflow, design the templates for each collection and sub-collection.
- Customize the layout, elements, and styling based on your requirements.
- Configure the URLs:
- In the Editor section of Webflow, go to Project Settings and select the "Hosting" tab.
- Under "Collections" > "Parent Collection," you will find the option to configure the URL structure.
- Use the available fields from the parent collection and sub-collections to create the desired URL structure.
By following these steps, you can achieve a URL structure with multiple sub-collections in Webflow without creating separate collection paths. This allows for a more organized and streamlined website structure.
