How can I store and display a user's name input on every page throughout my Webflow site?
To store and display a user's name input on every page throughout your Webflow site, you can use Webflow's built-in CMS feature. By creating a CMS collection, you can store the user's name as a dynamic field and then display it on every page using the CMS.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
Create a CMS collection: Go to the CMS tab in your Webflow project and create a new collection. Name it something like "User Data" or "Visitor Data".
Add a field for the user's name: In the collection settings, add a new field and name it something like "Name". You can set the field type to Text or Rich Text, depending on your requirements.
Design your input form: On the page where you want the user to input their name, create a form element using Webflow's form elements or the form block. Add an input field and bind it to the "Name" field in your CMS collection.
Create a submission interaction: Select the form element and go to the Interactions panel. Create a new interaction that triggers on form submission. In the interaction, use the "Set Field Value" action to store the name input value into the CMS collection's "Name" field.
Display the user's name on every page: Now that the user's name is stored in the CMS collection, you can use dynamic binding to display it on every page. Add a text element where you want to display the user's name and bind it to the "Name" field in your CMS collection.
By following these steps, you'll be able to store and display the user's name input on every page throughout your Webflow site. This allows for dynamic personalization and a better user experience.
