Hi, I edit my works website but am really struggling with this - on the ‘team’ page, I have been asked to add a new section for a new subsection of our team (called advisory group). I created a CMS for advisory group, and have struggled to get it to the same formatting as the other CMS’s.
The main problem I’m having is the Advisory Group template is not the same as the other CMS’s templates, and I can’t copy and paste anything that’s linked to a different CMS.
Does anyone know how I’d get the Advisory Group template the same as the Trustee template?
Hi @natashacovill I didn’t checked your project but from what you have wrote you have issue because data are bonded to fields. If you will take some time and search forum you will find many identical requests.
Anyway when you unbind your CMS data you will be able copy section you need. All this is also described in WF docs.
Thanks, I did actually try unbinding and copy/ pasting before posting this but it didn’t seem to work either, or it pastes in a different area and then I can’t get it to the same position as on other pages.
I have also looked at other people’s posts, being very new to Webflow it’s tricky to understand a lot of the terminology thrown around - I’m sure you can’t understand it’s not easy being a beginner and having to do this for work!
hi @natashacovill I have looked into your project and each page has different layout with different class naming. You have let say a very explicit naming that may cause issues when trying to copy from other page as these classes may collide with each other when you do not pay attention.
Sit down with paper and pen and think about what elements should be named more globally (believe me naming is hard) and nuances of these “global” styles can be solved by combo classes.
I will recommend to create one full page where you will create desired layout with some fake data (NO CMS bind) and use this “template” to all pages that has to have identical layout.
You may under body element create div let say page_container and place everything inside. Once you will be done you will copy page_container and it will contain all inside instead copying section be section.
Another advice I can give you when you have let say header section done for desktop do not start with another section but make header responsive means adjust layout for viewports.
Once you have responsiveness approx done than jump on another section. Just suggestion.
