Yes, it is possible to add a 'like' button feature on CMS product pages in Webflow that will show a filled love heart and allow the client to view which products have been liked and the number of likes. Here's how you can achieve this:
Create a Collection for your products: In your Webflow project, create a Collection to store your products. Add necessary fields such as product name, description, image, and a field to store the number of likes.
Add a 'like' button to the product page: Design your product page template and add a 'like' button element. You can use a Webflow symbol to make it consistent across all products. Style the button to initially show an unfilled love heart icon.
Set up interactions: In Webflow's Interactions panel, create a new interaction for the 'like' button. You can trigger this interaction on the button click. In the interaction, change the appearance of the heart icon to a filled version (using the desired icon set or SVG).
Increase the like count: In the same interaction, add another action to increase the count of likes stored in the CMS field for that product. You can use the Webflow CMS API or custom code to update the CMS collection.
Display the likes count: Add a dynamic element on the product page to display the number of likes. Connect this element to the respective CMS field that stores the like count for each product.
Show liked products: To enable the client to view which products they have liked, you can create a separate Collection for liked products. Whenever a user clicks the 'like' button, add that product information to the liked products Collection. You can then create a separate page or a section where the client can view their liked products.
By following these steps, you can create a 'like' button feature on CMS product pages in Webflow that tracks the number of likes and allows the client to see the liked products.
