How can I make my accordion in Webflow display unlimited amounts of copy instead of a limited amount?
To make your accordion in Webflow display unlimited amounts of copy, you can use dynamic content. Dynamic content allows you to populate your accordion with as much copy as you need, without any limitations. Here's how you can do it:
Create a CMS collection: Start by creating a new CMS collection in your Webflow project. This collection will store the content for each accordion item.
Add fields to your CMS collection: In the CMS collection settings, add fields for the title and body copy of each accordion item. You can also add any additional fields you need, such as images or videos.
Design your accordion: Start building your accordion in the designer. Use a
div
orcontainer
element to hold your accordion items, and give it a class name.Add a collection list: Inside the container element, add a collection list element. This element will pull in the content from your CMS collection.
Connect the collection list to your CMS collection: In the settings panel of the collection list, connect it to the CMS collection you created earlier.
Design the accordion item: Inside the collection list item, design the layout for each accordion item. You can use elements such as headings, paragraphs, images, or videos to display the content from your CMS collection.
Style the accordion items: Use the Webflow designer to style the accordion items as desired. You can apply different styles to the container element, the collection list, and each individual item.
Configure the interactions: To make the accordion expand and collapse on click, add an interaction to the accordion item. Set the trigger to "click" and choose the appropriate action to show or hide the content.
Preview and test: Preview your site to see how the accordion behaves. Make sure it expands and collapses correctly, and that the content from your CMS collection is displayed properly.
By using dynamic content and a CMS collection, you can make your accordion in Webflow display unlimited amounts of copy. This allows you to easily add, remove, or edit the accordion items without having to manually update the design.
