Ability to add a dynamic slider in Webflow CMS

You can, at least, i did it today. It’s a bit of a hack, but this is how you do it:

  1. Make a div to put in your slider
  2. Insert a slider
  3. Insert a dynamic list into the first slide

  4. Select a collection to get images from, set layout to full width, and restrict the item to display start item 1, limit to item 1.

  5. Set background of that slide to a picture, but don’t upload any (you’ll get the standard background cover). And set picture to cover, align center, and non-repeat.

  6. On your dynamic item, specify min-width, and overflow: hidden.

  7. Delete slide 2 from your slider. Copy & Paste slide one as much as you want slided
  8. Restrict slide 2 to use dynamic list item 2, slide 3 to use only item 3 etc.
