To create a random link on your landing page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
- Create a Collection:
- Go to the Webflow Designer and navigate to the "Collections" tab.
- Click on the "+" button to create a new Collection.
- Give your Collection a name and set it up with the necessary fields.
- Add a field for the URL of the random link.
- Add Collection items:
- Once your Collection is set up, you can start adding items to it.
- Each item should represent a random link you want to display.
- Enter the desired URL for each item.
- Insert a Collection List on your landing page:
- Go back to your landing page in the Webflow Designer.
- Drag and drop a Collection List element onto your page where you want the random link to appear.
- Connect the Collection List to the Collection you created in the previous steps.
- Style the Collection List:
- Customize the appearance of the Collection List to match your design.
- Apply styles to each item within the Collection List, such as custom fonts, colors, and spacing.
- Create a custom code embed:
Open the Settings panel on the right side of the Webflow Designer.
Scroll down and find the "Custom Code" section.
Click on the "+" button to add a new Custom Code Embed.
Insert the following code into the "Head" section of the custom code embed:
\`\`\`html<script>$('.collection-list-item').sort(function() { return 0.5 - Math.random();}).appendTo('.collection-list');</script>\`\`\`
This code will randomly shuffle the items in the Collection List.
- Publish your site:
- Once you're done with the setup, publish your site for the changes to take effect.
Now, when visitors load your landing page, the Collection List will display a random link from your Collection, thanks to the custom code. Each time the page is reloaded, a different link will be shown, giving the appearance of a random link.
