How can I make background images editable via CMS in Webflow?
To make background images editable via the CMS in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Create a Collection: Start by creating a Collection in the CMS to hold your background images. Go to the Collections tab in the Designer, click on the "+" button, and create a new Collection. Add a field to this Collection that will hold your background images.
Set Up the Background Image Field: In the Collection Editor, click on the field you added to hold the background images. Set the field type to "Image" and make sure to select "Media" as the Source.
Add an Image Element to the Template: In your site's Template page, add an Image element where you want the background image to appear. Link this Image element to the field you created in the Collection.
Style the Image Element: With the Image element selected, go to the Style Panel and set the width and height to match the container where you will place the background image. Set the "Position" to "Relative" and set the "Z-index" to a value higher than other elements on the page.
Set the Background Image: In the Style Panel, go to the Background section and click on the "+" button. Select "Image" and choose the field you created in the Collection to set the background image.
Adjust the Design: Customize the design of the background image as needed. You can add overlays, text, or other elements on top of the background image by placing them above the Image element in the hierarchy.
Publish and Test: Once you have set up the background image, publish the site and test the CMS functionality. You should be able to add, modify, or remove background images using the CMS.
Note: Keep in mind that the background image editing feature via the CMS only applies to individual pages that are associated with the Collection. If you want to have different background images throughout your site, you'll need to create multiple Collections or use conditional visibility settings.
