Getting Started with A List & Filter
This guide is here to help you get up and running quickly with CMS Plus. It skips the finer details and focuses on the basics: displaying your collection list and setting up a single filter. For a deeper dive into settings, configurations, and advanced features, check out the full documentation to unlock the true potential of CMS Plus.
Start with Your List: Collection+
Collection+ is the central hub for managing your collection list. Here’s how to set it up:
Link your collection list frame and a custom frame (for a "no results" state) to Collection+.
Assign it a unique ID number—this ID is exclusive to your list but can be referenced by other CMS Plus components.
Adding a Filter
Adding a filter is simple:
From all the Filter+ components, select the same type as the collection field you want to filter.
Drop a Filter+ directly onto your page.
Assign it the same ID you gave your Collection+ component.
Configure the rest, like the collection field name, filter condition, etc.
That’s it! Your filter is now linked to your list. When the page loads, CMS Plus detects and auto-filters your collection.
Unleash the Power of Customization
Sure, adding a filter straight onto the page is functional—but it’s not exciting. The magic of CMS Plus lies in integrating it into your custom components. This allows you to:
Interactively toggle filters as you interact with your design.
Set reusable variables for a more dynamic and scalable setup.
With CMS Plus, your filters become part of your design’s DNA, unlocking a new level of interactivity and control.
Just Getting Started
That’s enough to get your collection list working and a filter up and running. This guide just scratches the surface—there’s so much more each component can do! Dive into the full documentation to explore advanced features, configurations, and creative possibilities.
