How can I connect a multi-image field to show a gallery in Webflow?
To connect a multi-image field and display it as a gallery in Webflow, follow these steps:
Create a Collection: The first step is to create a Collection in Webflow, which will hold the data for your gallery. Go to your Webflow project's dashboard and navigate to the CMS Collections tab. Click on the "+ Add Collection" button and give it a name (e.g., "Gallery"). Add any other necessary fields to the Collection, such as a title, description, and any additional information you want to display for each image.
Add a Multi-Image field: In the Collection editor, add a "Multi-Image" field to your Collection. This field will allow you to upload multiple images for each item in the Collection.
Create a Collection Page: Next, go to the "Pages" tab and create a new Collection Page for your gallery. Choose the Collection you just created and customize the layout and design of your page as desired.
Add a Collection List: On your Collection Page, add a Collection List element. This element will loop through each item in your Collection and display it on the page.
Bind the Multi-Image field: Select the Collection List element and go to its settings panel on the right-hand side. Under "Bound to Collection," choose your Collection and select the Multi-Image field you created. This will tell Webflow to populate the Collection List with the images from the Multi-Image field.
Add an Image element: Inside the Collection List, add an Image element. This element will display each image from the Multi-Image field.
Bind the Image source: With the Image element selected, go to its settings panel. Under "Image Settings," choose "Dynamic" as the source. Then, select the Multi-Image field from your Collection as the dynamic source for the image.
Style and customize: Finally, style and customize your gallery to match your desired design. You can adjust the image size, spacing, and any other visual aspects using the Webflow Designer.
By following these steps, you can connect a multi-image field to show a gallery in Webflow. Each image uploaded in the CMS will be displayed dynamically on the Collection Page, allowing you to easily create and update galleries as needed.
