To link a multi-image field to a Lightbox in your Webflow project, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Multi-Image field: Before linking the multi-image field to a Lightbox, make sure you have a multi-image field set up in your Webflow CMS. This field will store the images that you want to display in the Lightbox.

  2. Design your Lightbox: In the Webflow Designer, create a Lightbox element on your page or within a Collection List where you want to display the images. Customize the design according to your preferences, such as the layout, styling, and transitions.

  3. Set up the Collection List: If your multi-image field is part of a Collection List, add a Collection List wrapper to your Lightbox element. Bind the Collection List to the appropriate Collection (which contains the multi-image field).

  4. Add an image element: Inside the Collection List, add an Image or Image Link element. Bind the image source to the multi-image field in your Collection. This will ensure that the images from the multi-image field are dynamically linked to the Lightbox.

  5. Set the Lightbox trigger: Select the image element within the Collection List, and configure it as the trigger for the Lightbox. In the Interaction panel, click '+ New Interaction' and choose 'Lightbox' as the trigger type. Select your Lightbox element as the target.

  6. Publish your changes: Once you have linked the multi-image field to the Lightbox, publish your changes to your Webflow project.

Now, when users click on the image within your Collection List, the Lightbox will open and display the corresponding images stored in the multi-image field.

By following these steps, you can easily link a multi-image field to a Lightbox in your Webflow project. This allows you to showcase multiple images in an interactive and visually appealing way.
