Is it possible to open a CMS lightbox group in Webflow by clicking a button?

Yes, it is possible to open a CMS lightbox group in Webflow by clicking a button. You can achieve this by using interactions and some custom code. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Create a CMS collection and add a lightbox field: First, you need to create a CMS collection and add a lightbox field to it. This field will hold the images you want to open in the lightbox group.

2. Design your lightbox group: Next, design the lightbox group layout. You can add a lightbox wrapper element and inside it, add a lightbox link for each image in the CMS collection. You can give each lightbox link a unique class.

3. Link the lightbox group to the CMS collection: After designing the lightbox group, go to the Collection List settings and link it to your CMS collection. Make sure to bind the lightbox link to the lightbox field in the CMS collection.

4. Set up the button: Now, you need to add a button to your page and give it a unique class.

5. Create an interaction: Go to the Interactions panel and create a new interaction. Choose the button you created as the trigger and select the "Click" interaction type.

6. Add custom code to the interaction: In the interactions panel, find the "Element Actions" section for the button and select "Run JavaScript". In the code section, you can use the Webflow API to trigger the lightbox group to open when the button is clicked.

var lightboxSelector = '.your-lightbox-class';var lightboxElement = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(lightboxSelector))[0];var lightboxInstance = new Webflow.Lightbox(lightboxElement);lightboxInstance.show(0); // Open the first image in the lightbox group

Make sure to replace '.your-lightbox-class' with the actual class of your lightbox group.

1. Preview and test: Preview your site and test the button. When you click the button, the lightbox group should open with the first image.

By following these steps, you can open a CMS lightbox group in Webflow by clicking a button. This provides a user-friendly way to showcase multiple images in a lightbox without the need for any additional coding.
