Hi, I am struggling to accomplish this and not finding any answer so taking my chance here.
I have a collection page that displays a list of contacts inside a table
I have below the table a collection section that points to 3 other lists
I have more than 50 lists. How do I do to have 3 unique collection items on each collection pages?
Right now the items are the same on each pages. There are no categories so I can’t point to the current category.
Page 1 → display list 1, 2,3
Page 2 → display list 4, 5, 6
…
The details of your implementation depend entirely on your data, navigation, and what you’re trying to achieve. But based on what you’ve given, here’s one approach;
So in my case contact list 1 is the table where I call name, url, address etc. from a cms collection.
List 1, 2, 3, are redirecting to other contact list template page.
But I have 100 lists and they all display the same 3 lists in the “other section” (3 first one of the collection list). I can’t manage to have each template page displaying 3 different lists from the 100 available.
I tried to add a ranking field and added a number to each list. Then I wanted to sort the suggested lists by ranking “greater than current list ranking” but it’s not possible to filter by a current field… Like that each page would have reference 3 lists that have a ranking greater than the current ranking and I would have covered the entire list.
It’s for SEO purpose each list of the 100 should redirect to 3 different lists. And it should always be the same for each lists.
Redirects are not a thing here- you just use Reference fields to each of the 3 other lists you want.
Add those 3 fields and set the 3 related lists you want.
In your collection page you simply bind each of your 3 related lists using those 3 fields you’ve created.
That’s a different design from what you’ve described above and involves a very different approach that will require some javascript dev. In designs like this you need to choose a direction before building it.
Yes aligned with you my approach is not optimized I am lacking technical/dev knowledge so this why I am exploring different options on the go. I can manage JS/Jquery but I don’t write it so I am limited
The reference bind mentioned could work indeed but does it mean I would have to do it manually for the 100 list?
Yes. With those 3 referenced lists you have for each list, you can;
Explicitly set them using Ref fields or a MultiRef field.
Have them randomly picked from the set of all possible lists ( but they will change every 12 hours )
Build a custom script-based filtering solution that will show just the ones you want, relative to the current item.
Option 1 should not be that difficult to implement, and if you’re good with spreadsheets, you should be able to export your lists, update those references in the spreadsheet, and then import/update those changes specifically.
