How can I nest CMS items inside my folder structure in Webflow?
To nest CMS items inside your folder structure in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
Create a folder structure: Start by creating a folder structure in your Webflow project. This can be done by creating nested collection lists or using a combination of collection lists and static elements.
Create the parent collection: Create a collection to serve as the parent for your nested CMS items. This parent collection will be used to organize and group your nested content.
Create the nested collection: Inside the parent collection, create another collection to house the nested CMS items. This nested collection will contain the actual content you want to display within the folder structure.
Set up the necessary fields: Set up the necessary fields in your nested collection to store the data for each nested CMS item. These fields could include things like title, description, images, or any other relevant information.
Link the parent and nested collections: In the parent collection, create a multi-reference field that links to the nested collection. This will allow you to associate the nested CMS items with their respective parent folders.
Design your folder structure: Use collection lists, dynamic lists, or any other appropriate elements and styling to design and display your folder structure on your Webflow site. Make sure to customize the styling and layout to match your desired design.
Populate your nested CMS items: Now you can start populating your nested CMS items with content. Create new items within the nested collection and assign them to the appropriate parent folder using the multi-reference field.
Display the nested CMS items: Finally, use dynamic referencing to display the nested CMS items within their respective parent folders. You can do this by using collection list references and creating dynamic queries to filter the nested CMS items based on their parent folder.
By following these steps, you can effectively nest CMS items inside your folder structure in Webflow, allowing for organized and structured content display.
