Can images in a Webflow grid span cells when derived from a CMS?
Yes, images in a Webflow grid can span cells when derived from a CMS. Webflow's grid system allows for flexible and customizable layouts, including the ability for images to span multiple grid cells.
To achieve this, you can follow these steps:
Create a CMS collection: Go to the CMS section in Webflow and create a new collection. Add an image field to the collection, which will store the images you want to display.
Design your grid layout: In the Designer view, create a grid element and define the number of columns and rows you want. Adjust the size of the cells to accommodate the content, including the images.
Link the CMS collection: Select the grid element and go to the Settings panel on the right. Choose the CMS collection you created in step 1 from the dropdown menu.
Insert the image: Inside each cell of the grid, drag and drop an image element from the Add panel. Connect the image element to the image field in your CMS collection.
Adjust the spanning: By default, each image will be contained within its own cell. To make an image span multiple cells, select the image element and open the Layout panel on the right. Increase the "Columns" or "Rows" values to adjust the spanning.
Style and customize: Lastly, style and customize the grid and image elements as desired using the Designer tools. You can set dimensions, add borders, apply filters, and more to achieve the desired visual presentation.
With these steps, you can leverage Webflow's powerful CMS capabilities to create dynamic and responsive grid layouts where images can span multiple cells.
