Is my reference to the CMS field correct in my custom code for the timer in Webflow?
When using custom code for a timer in Webflow, the reference to the CMS field may vary depending on how you have set up your structure and fields within the CMS. Here are a few things to consider when referencing the CMS field in your custom code:
Ensure that you have properly named your CMS field: Make sure you have assigned a unique name to the CMS field that you want to reference in your custom code. This name should match the name used in your code to avoid any errors or confusion.
Use the correct syntax in your code: Depending on your CMS field type, you may need to use different syntax to reference the value. For example, if you are referencing a text field, you can use the
{{ field_name }}syntax. If you are referencing a number field, you can use{{ field_name.value }}.Check the path to the CMS field: If your CMS field is nested within a collection list or other dynamic element, you may need to specify the path to the field in your code. For example, if your CMS field is inside a collection list called "blog-posts", and the field name is "title", you can reference it as
{{ blog-posts.title }}.Test your code: After including the reference to the CMS field in your custom code, make sure to test it thoroughly to ensure that the timer is displaying the correct value from the CMS. Preview your site and check that the timer updates according to the value in the CMS field.
Remember to optimize your code for search engines by following these best practices:
- Ensure your timer is visible and accessible to both users and search engines by using appropriate HTML elements and structured data.
- Include relevant keywords in your code, such as the purpose of the timer or the content it relates to.
- Use proper headings and semantic tags to structure your code and make it easier for search engines to understand the context of the timer.
- Optimize your website's overall performance to ensure fast loading times, as page speed is a crucial factor for both user experience and SEO.
