How can I use Webflow to create buttons on a CMS page that scroll down to relevant subtopics in a collection list, where each subtopic has a dynamically generated ID?
To create buttons on a CMS page in Webflow that scroll down to relevant subtopics in a collection list, you can follow these steps:
1. Set up your Collection List: Create a Collection List and add the subtopics as items within the list. Make sure each subtopic has a unique field, such as a "Subtopic ID", which will be used to generate the dynamic ID.
2. Insert the Collection List on your CMS page: Drag and drop a Collection List element onto your CMS page, and connect it to the desired collection. Customize the styling and layout of the Collection List as per your requirements.
3. Add an ID to each subtopic: Within the Collection List, select the subtopic element and open the element settings panel (the right sidebar). Under the "Settings" tab, add a dynamic attribute to the subtopic element's ID field. Use the "Subtopic ID" field from your collection as the dynamic value.
4. Create the scroll buttons: Add a button element wherever you want the scroll buttons to appear on your CMS page. You can style these buttons to match your design preferences.
5. Add Interactions to the buttons: Select one of the buttons, and go to the Interactions panel (the right sidebar). Add a new interaction, and choose the "Scroll to" action. Set the target to an element by using its ID, which can be found in the "Collection List Item" settings panel within the Navigator panel. Choose the subtopic element and select "Set as initial appearance".
6. Repeat step 5 for each button: Repeat step 5 for each button you want to create, making sure to set the appropriate target for each button.
Now, when you preview or publish your CMS page, each button will scroll down to its relevant subtopic within the dynamic collection list.
Remember to adjust the animation settings, such as easing and duration, to achieve the desired scrolling effect. Additionally, you can customize the appearance of the subtopics when they become visible using Webflow's built-in interactions or custom CSS.
