How can I use MixitUp Filters on collections with more than 100 items in Webflow?
Webflow has a built-in grid layout system that makes it easy to display and filter collections. However, by default, it only supports filtering collections with up to 100 items. If you have a collection with more than 100 items and you want to use MixitUp Filters, there are a few workarounds you can try:
1. Pagination: One option is to split your collection into multiple pages using pagination. You can create a filter interface using MixitUp Filters on each page separately. For example, you can have one page with filters for the first 100 items, another page for the next 100 items, and so on. This way, users can navigate between different pages to access the filtered content. Keep in mind that this approach may make the user experience less seamless, as users have to switch between pages.
2. Custom Code: If you're comfortable with custom code, you could use Webflow API and custom JavaScript to create a dynamic filter system. With this approach, you'll need to fetch the collection data from the API and then use JavaScript to filter and display the items based on the user's selections. This way, you can bypass the limit of 100 items since you're handling the filtering logic manually. However, note that this requires coding knowledge and might be a more complex solution compared to the built-in Webflow tools.
3. Third-Party Integrations: Another option is to integrate third-party tools or plugins that support filtering large collections. For example, you could explore options like Isotope or MixItUp itself (not the Webflow version). These tools offer advanced filtering functionalities and can handle collections with more than 100 items. While this might require additional setup and potentially some customization, it can provide a reliable solution for filtering large collections.
Keep in mind that these workarounds may introduce some complexity and might require additional time and effort to implement. It's important to evaluate the trade-offs and choose the solution that best fits your project's requirements and your technical skills.
