Is it possible to display a loader GIF until a CMS Collection Item is created and then redirect the user to the Collection Item's page in Webflow?
Yes, it is possible to display a loader GIF until a CMS Collection Item is created and then redirect the user to the Collection Item's page in Webflow. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
Design your loader GIF: Create or find a loader GIF that you want to display while the CMS Collection Item is being created. You can use online tools or software like Adobe Photoshop to create a loader GIF.
Upload the loader GIF to your Webflow project: Go to your Webflow project, and in the Assets panel, click on the "Upload" button to upload the loader GIF to your project.
Set up a Collection List on the page where you want to display the loader: Drag and drop a Collection List element onto the page. Make sure the Collection List is connected to the CMS Collection where you will be creating the Collection Item.
Add a Conditional Visibility setting to the Collection List: Select the Collection List, go to the Settings panel, and click on the "Add Condition" button under the Conditional Visibility section. Set the condition to check if the Collection List is empty, using the "Is Empty" condition.
Design and style the loader GIF: Select the Collection List and design it to display the loader GIF while it is empty. You can do this by adding a div or an image element inside the Collection List and setting it to display the loader GIF.
Add a JavaScript interaction to redirect the user: Select the Collection List, go to the Interactions panel, and click on the "Add New Interaction" button. Choose the appropriate trigger for the interaction, such as when the page finishes loading.
In the interaction settings, select the "Redirect to Page" action as the type of animation. Choose the Collection Item Page you want to redirect the user to when the CMS Collection Item is created.
Publish your changes: Once you have completed the steps above, save and publish your changes to see the loader GIF in action. When the CMS Collection Item is created, the page will automatically redirect to the Collection Item's page.
By following these steps, you will be able to display a loader GIF until a CMS Collection Item is created and then redirect the user to the Collection Item's page in Webflow.
