Creating a Blog with Customizable Topics and Filtering

At a glance
The post asks how to create a blog where each article has its own topic and users can filter by topic. The community members suggest using a multi-reference field in the blog collection list to connect to a separate topics collection list. They also recommend using Finsweet's CMS filter to enable the filtering functionality. Additionally, a community member suggests adding a search bar, and another mentions that Finsweet has a solution for creating a searchable CMS. The community members also note that Finsweet has a debugging tool to help with the setup.

How would I create a blog that each article has its own topic and then people are able to filter by topic?

You would need to add a Multi-reference field to the blog collection list, and use Finsweet's CMS filter to connect it

The multi-reference will allow you to reference another collection list, i.e. the topics, so you'll need a collection list called topics and you'll add them all there

Thanks @Emily Marais!
What about adding a search bar as well?

FS is great because it has a debugging tool you can use to find any mistakes you may have made in the setup

Let me know if I can help with the CMS filtering πŸ™‚ I have solid experience with it

Thank you @Emily Marais! I'm not doing it now, the client was just asking about options, but I'll definitely reach out when applicable. Thanks!
