Tips for Combining Items with Alternating Layouts in CMS Lists

·

Hi! Is there a trick to adding items with alternating layouts (e.g. Layout 409) to a collection list (data from CMS)? Each item is displayed in a separate list, but I want them in the same list. Also have the same problem Portfolio 9. It’s late, so there might be an easy solution that I just don’t see 😅

Mikael K. yeah this one is tough. For Layout 409 specifically because of the unique offset based on the card's location, you wouldn't be able to get the display correct if you just threw this into a collection. However, if the items are going to still be predictable, but you just want to offer up editing in the CMS - meaning you know you will only ever have 3 or 4 cards for Layout 409 - you could still power it with the CMS. You would essentially create 4 collection lists, each list has one card showing and you'd limit the collection to 1 and start 1, or 2, or 3 or 4. This way you can preserve the unique combo classes and the display.
