To create a filter for products based on CMS attributes in a Categories Template page on Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up CMS Collection: First, make sure you have a CMS Collection set up with the necessary attributes for the products, such as categories, colors, sizes, etc. In this example, we'll assume you have a 'Category' attribute for the products.

  2. Create the Categories Template page: Next, create a Categories Template page in your Webflow project. This template will display the products filtered by category.

  3. Add Collection List: Drag and drop a Collection List element onto the template page. This will be the container for your filtered products.

  4. Filter the Collection List: With the Collection List selected, go to the settings panel on the right-hand side. Under the 'Filters' tab, click on the 'Add' button. Choose your 'Category' attribute and set the filter condition to 'is current'.

  5. Design the template: Design the layout for the filtered products within the Collection List. You can use Collection Item elements to display the individual products, and then style them accordingly.

  6. Publish and test: Preview the Categories Template page to see the filtered products based on the category. Make sure to publish your changes for the changes to take effect on your live site.

By following these steps, you can easily create a filter for products based on CMS attributes in a Categories Template page on Webflow. This allows you to showcase products based on specific categories and improve the navigation and user experience on your website.
