How can I create a dynamic drop-down filter for a CMS list in Webflow, similar to the one on this website? Thanks!
To create a dynamic drop-down filter for a CMS list in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
1. Set up your CMS collection: First, make sure you have a CMS collection set up with the necessary fields for your filter. For example, if you have a collection of products, you might have a field called "Category".
2. Design your filter interface: Create a dropdown element in your desired location on the page to serve as the filter interface. You can style this element to match your design.
3. Populate the dropdown options: Open the dropdown settings and go to the Options tab. Here, you will manually add options that correspond to the categories in your CMS collection. For example, if your collection has categories like "Shirts", "Pants", and "Shoes", you would add these options to the dropdown.
4. Add interactions to the dropdown: Select the dropdown element and go to the Interactions panel. Create a new interaction for when the dropdown value changes. Choose the action to affect a different element, and select the CMS list element you want to filter.
5. Specify the filter criteria: In the interaction settings, you will define the filter criteria based on the selected value from the dropdown. For example, you might set the filter to show only items where the "Category" field matches the selected value from the dropdown.
6. Apply the filter: Save your interaction, and now when a user selects an option from the dropdown, the corresponding CMS items in the list will be filtered and displayed accordingly.
7. Test and refine: Preview your website and test the filter functionality. If needed, you can refine the design and interaction settings to further enhance the user experience.
Please note that creating complex filters may require custom code or integration with external tools. However, the process outlined above should work for basic dynamic drop-down filters using the native features of Webflow.
