Nested CMS Lists in Webflow

[@goldenant9450]

i was literally just thinking about reorganizing a clients website using a tagging system but didn't know how to approach it or if it was possible. it seems the answer is no, but timothy created a solution, so yes.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Been looking for a solution all day that worked on CMS template pages. This works perfectly and very simple to implement.

Thats a gamechanger for me as i recently run into these native webflow boundries. Amazing content!

Great Tim, I tried it and it works flawlessly. As always, thank you!

Ever hear someone talk and just think to yourself.. "man, this person is just so much smarter than me..."

I wish Webflow would release some native solutions for these problems. Fully customizable schemas and nested lists are standard with headless CMSs like Sanity. Would be nice to bring that over to the no code world.

Hey Tim! Thanks again for yet another super helpful video! I'm building out my design porfolio using the webflow CMS and was wondering if there is any way to "fully" customize the body section of the cms template page for each project? Ideally I'd have the template consisting of the main header, full hero image, (insert custom component sections) and then the footer. My aim is to leave much of the project sections to be customized. I've built out the components for the sections and tried to use a "slot" to customize the order and flow, but it's no surprise that it doesn't work. Not sure if there's a solution out there for this or if I need to build them out using individual pages. Thanks in advance!!

can someone help me, i have a page where i have set and created everything as in the video, but when i change the pagination, the script cmsNest(); is not loaded automatically, when i enter this manually in the console, the elements are loaded. how can this be created automatically?

if i wanted to make the individual tags clickable objects that direct the user to a filtered list of any cms items that have the clicked tag, would that be possible using webflow's cms filtering? so using your site as an example, could I put a link block inside the "drums" tag that takes you to the home page BUT applies a CMS filter of "drums" to only show cms items that have the "drums" tag? hope that makes sense 😬

[@TheFlyingEpergne]

nevermind, I worked out a way to do it! I just wrapped the tag text (on the "current collection page") in a link div and set the link location to be the "current tag collection page" I think styled that "current tag collection page" to look exactly like my cms page that contains all my blog posts but it's dynamically filtered using the link div's tag. in case anyone else is wondering

What is the difference between this and Finsweet CMS nest ?

completion hook for example ?

This one looks way simpler to implement

Hi! Thank you! Amazing as usual! I didi it on one project - works as charm! Did it on a second one and on Crome browser it does not show nested collections. It shows on my phone and ipad and Safari, but on Crome in shows that target didn't fetched. I tried to put this code before other code, but still doesn't work. What it might be? Thank you who ever can help with it))

[@nhato4644]

Hi Tim, what is the native way to do this, multi ref?

[@timothyricks]

Yes, we can create a multi-reference field and add a collection list inside the CMS items that is connected to that field. It’s just limited to one nested list per page and no nested lists inside components natively.

This was needed! 🤌
