To open different pop-ups when clicking on different items (photos) from a collection list in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a collection list: First, create a collection list in Webflow and add the collection items that represent your photos. Each item in the collection list should have an image and any other relevant information you want to display in the pop-up.

  2. Style the collection list: Customize the design of your collection list using Webflow's Designer. You can set the layout, spacing, and styling options to match your desired appearance.

  3. Add a pop-up element: Now, create a pop-up element that will be displayed when a photo is clicked. You can use Webflow's built-in "Modal" component or create a custom pop-up using div blocks and interactions. Style the pop-up to suit your design preferences.

  4. Link the pop-up to each collection item: For each item in the collection list, add a link or interaction that triggers the corresponding pop-up. You can do this by selecting the photo element and using the "Click trigger" option in the Interactions panel.

  5. Create interactions: Set up interactions to control the visibility of the pop-up element when the photo is clicked. In the interactions panel, choose the "Show" action for the pop-up element and set a trigger on the selected photo element.

  6. Customize the content of the pop-up: Finally, customize the content of each pop-up to display the relevant information for each photo. You can bind dynamic fields from your collection to populate the content of each pop-up dynamically.

By following these steps, you can easily open different pop-ups when clicking on different items (photos) from your collection list in Webflow. This feature allows you to create interactive galleries or portfolios with custom pop-ups for each item.

Example: Here's an example of how you can create a collection list with pop-ups in Webflow:

  1. Create a collection list called "Photos" and add collection items with images and descriptions.

  2. Style the collection list to display the photos in a grid layout with a consistent design.

  3. Add a pop-up element, such as a Modal component, to the page.

  4. Link each item in the collection list to the pop-up element by setting up interactions. For example, when you click on a photo item, you can use an interaction to show the corresponding pop-up.

  5. Customize the content of each pop-up using dynamic fields from the collection. This allows you to display the relevant photo and description for each item in the pop-up.

By implementing these steps, you can achieve a fluid and interactive experience for your users when clicking on different items from your collection list in Webflow.
