To ensure that each CMS item in your real estate site has its own unique lightbox-style gallery with its own media pictures in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a CMS collection: Start by creating a CMS collection in your Webflow project. This collection will hold all the real estate items with their respective data, including the media pictures.

  2. Add a lightbox-style gallery field: Inside the CMS collection, add a new field of type "Multi-Image" to hold the media pictures for each real estate item. This field will allow you to upload and manage multiple images for each item.

  3. Design your template: Create a template for the real estate items in your CMS collection. This is the layout that will be used to display the individual items on your site.

  4. Add a dynamic list: Place a dynamic list element on your template where you want the gallery to appear. Set the list to display the CMS collection you created in step 1.

  5. Add a lightbox component: Inside the dynamic list, add a lightbox component. This component will enable the lightbox-style gallery functionality for each CMS item.

  6. Bind the lightbox component to the multi-image field: Within the lightbox component settings, bind the image source to the multi-image field you created in step 2. This will connect the gallery to the specific media pictures for each CMS item.

  7. Style the lightbox component: Customize the appearance of the lightbox component to match your design preferences. You can adjust the size, layout, and styling to create a visually appealing gallery.

  8. Publish and test: Publish your site and test the gallery functionality by navigating to the individual pages for each real estate item. Each item should now have its own unique lightbox-style gallery that displays the media pictures specific to that item.

By following these steps, you can ensure that each CMS item in your real estate site has its own unique lightbox-style gallery with its own media pictures in Webflow.
