How can I set up my CMS collection list in Webflow to display all the information from different CMS collections?
To set up a CMS collection list in Webflow that displays information from different CMS collections, follow these steps:
Create CMS Collections: First, you need to create different CMS collections to store the information you want to display. For example, if you have a website for a blog, you might have separate collections for blog posts, authors, and categories.
Design Collection Pages: Create individual Collection Pages for each CMS collection. This is where you will define the layout and design for displaying the information from each collection. For example, you might have a Blog Post Collection Page, an Author Collection Page, and a Category Collection Page.
Add Collection List: On a page where you want to display all the information from different CMS collections, add a Collection List element from the Add Panel. This element will act as a container for all the collection items.
Configure Collection List: With the Collection List selected, go to the Collection List settings in the right sidebar. Here, you will set the CMS collection to display and define any filters or sorting options you want to apply. Select the collection you want to display, and you can choose to filter by any specific criteria, such as categories or tags.
Add Collection Item: Inside the Collection List, you will add a Collection Item element for each item you want to display. This element represents a single item from your CMS collection.
Design Collection Item: Customize the design/layout of the Collection Item element to determine how each item will be displayed. You can add and style various elements like text, images, links, or even custom code to structure the content from your collections.
Bind Collection Fields: Within the Collection Item element, you can use Dynamic Binding to connect each element to the corresponding CMS fields. For example, if you have a blog post collection, you can bind the title field to the heading element and the content field to a paragraph element.
Customize Styling: Style the Collection List, Collection Item, and individual elements using the Webflow Designer. You can apply different layouts, fonts, colors, and styles to achieve the desired look for your CMS collection list.
Preview and Publish: After setting up your CMS collection list, preview it to ensure that all the information is displaying correctly. Make any necessary adjustments, and when you're satisfied, publish your site for the changes to take effect.
By following these steps, you can easily set up a CMS collection list in Webflow to display all the information from different CMS collections.
