How can I dynamically filter the collection items in Webflow to display only the ones that match the category on the page?
To dynamically filter collection items in Webflow and display only the ones that match the category on the page, you can follow these steps:
Create a Collection: Start by creating a Collection in Webflow that contains the items you want to filter. Add a field to the Collection to specify the category of each item.
Design a Collection List: On your webpage, design a Collection List that will display the items from the Collection. This can be done within the designer by dragging and dropping a Collection List element onto the page.
Set Up Filters: Within the Collection List settings, locate the "Filtering" section. Here, you can set up filters to determine which items will be displayed based on the category. Choose the field that contains the category information and set the value to match the category on the page.
Bind the Category: In order to dynamically filter the items based on the category on the page, you need to bind the category value to a dynamic link or a dynamic embed. This can be done by selecting the relevant element, going to the Settings or Link Settings panel, and connecting the correct field from the Collection.
Preview and Test: After setting up the filters and binding the category field, preview your website and navigate to the page where you want to display the filtered items. Make sure the items are being displayed based on the category specified on the page.
By following these steps, you can dynamically filter collection items in Webflow and display only the ones that match the category on the page. This feature allows for more control and flexibility in presenting your collection items to the users.
