I am trying to create a crowdfunding website. originally I bought a template for wordpress (fundingpress) but quickly realized that I am not experienced enough to edit the stylesheets + need more control over the content of my site due to regulations.
So I am going to hire a freelancer to do some stuff within webflow but I like to learn so this is what I am trying to accomplish
I want to be able to post a custom post (blog) which has a bunch of fields. I made a “collection” that seems to reflect this
name
company
pitch video
richtext
image
etc etc
But when I try to “create new (name of collection item)” it prompts me to the standard blog page inputs. How to access the tool to input my info into my collection so I have a custom post to display on the site.
Ideally I want to be able to post under the follow sections
Investments—3 categories of investments with different offerings in them
Blog–I want to be able to have a blog that has my own content
forum-want to attach a forum for users to discuss the platform.
I guess first off my question is how can I get input into the fields of my collection which I thought would be an option when I “create new blog post”
Sorry if the question is confusing I’m trying to wrap my brain around the jargon of all of this
not seeing anything at the link. I now have two investments. What I want is to get the main page to reference recent “investments” instead of recent “categories”
That happens because you have a data but have no design on the template page.
Every of your collections automatically creating template page, which you able to design as you wish. Template pages you can find in the all pages list, they are highlighted with purple color.
Click on the Template page name and create structure, style it or you can copy structure from another page.
For that you will have to disconnect the elements inside that Dynamic list from dynamic data, then choose different collection for that and connect fields to the dynamic data again.
Or, if you want a different style, remove that dynamic list and add new one, then style as you need.
getting there sabanna… however the content is locked. I saw a forum post on it but didn’t quite get it. How do I unlock the list wrapper from the content so I can assign a different collection?
Check all elements inside the dynamic item (class featuredThumbnail on this screenshot) and disconnect those, which highlighted with purple color, from dynamic content.
I am sure your mom was right.
