How can I add country flags next to the country names on my interactive map in Webflow using a CMS item? Also, how can I make it so that when I click on a country on the map, it takes me to that country's page?

TL;DR
  • Create a CMS Collection with country names, flag images, and slugs.
  • Add a Collection List inside an interactive map to display country names and flags.
  • Use a Link Block around each country's name and flag to link to its dynamic page.
  • Align flags and names using Flexbox for proper styling.
  • Optionally, add custom interactions for hover effects or dynamic SVG modifications.

To add country flags next to country names in your Webflow CMS-driven interactive map and make each country link to its respective page, follow these steps:

1. Structure Your CMS Collection

  • Go to CMS Collections and create a collection called Countries (if not already done).
  • Add the following fields:
  • Name (Plain Text) – Country name
  • Flag Image (Image) – Upload the flag for each country
  • Slug (Auto-generated) – Used for linking
  • Region/Coordinates (Optional) – If needed for positioning markers

2. Add the Map and Dynamic List

  • Insert an Image or SVG map in your Webflow project.
  • Add a Collection List bound to the Countries collection inside your map container.

3. Display Flags Next to Country Names

  • Inside the Collection Item, add:
  • A Text Block bound to the Name field.
  • An Image element bound to the Flag Image field.
  • Use Flexbox (with align-items: center) to align the flag next to the country’s name.

4. Make Countries Clickable to Their Pages

  • Wrap the Text and Flag inside a Link Block.
  • Set the Link Block to navigate to Current Country (dynamic country page).
  • Publish your site, and clicking a country will now take users to that country’s CMS page.

5. Use Custom Interactions (Optional)

  • If using an SVG map, you may need custom interactions to change styles or move markers dynamically:
  • Set an Interaction to highlight or enlarge the country when hovered.
  • Use Custom Code if required to modify an embedded SVG dynamically based on CMS data.

Summary

  • Store country names, flags, and slugs in the CMS Collection.
  • Use a Collection List to dynamically display names and flags.
  • Wrap each country in a Link Block to navigate to dynamic pages.
  • Use custom styling or interactions to enhance user experience.
