Is there a way to create a dynamic CMS slider in Webflow that includes both video (from YouTube or Vimeo) and imagery, where each image can open in a lightbox when clicked?
Yes, it is possible to create a dynamic CMS slider in Webflow that includes both videos (from YouTube or Vimeo) and imagery, where each image can open in a lightbox when clicked. Here's how you can achieve this:
Create a Collection: Start by creating a collection in Webflow for your slider. You will need to define the fields for each slide, such as title, image, video URL, and any other relevant information.
Design the Slider: In the Designer, create a section and add a Collection List element. Link this element to your collection and set the layout to "Slider."
Add the Image and Video Elements: Inside the Collection List, add an image element and a video element for each slide. Bind the image element to the image field in your collection, and bind the video element to the video URL field.
Lightbox Interaction: To enable the lightbox functionality, you will need to use interactions. Select the image element and apply a click interaction. Set the trigger to "Mouse Click" and choose "Open Lightbox" as the action. Customize the lightbox settings to your preferences, such as the size and animation.
Save and Publish: After customizing the slider and lightbox, save your changes and publish your site. You can then add new slides and manage the content in your CMS.
By following these steps, you can create a dynamic CMS slider in Webflow that includes both video and imagery, where each image can open in a lightbox when clicked.
