CMS link problem

Hello! I’m not a Webflow expert, I’m using it first time to build my portfolio. Almost finished, but had a small problem.

On the downside of the work page, there is a link to move to the next project. The links are sorting out in the wrong order and I don’t understand why. I’ve already used all types of sorting and it doesn’t help. For example, on the Ida-Viru project, a link goes to the same project and the user cannot go further.

I can’t wait to see your help!

Hey @Kseniia_Klimchuk , the function that you want may be difficult to do natively, there are custom solutions out there built by experts to assist you for this.

Some examples below:

Timothy Ricks solution

Hope these will help you achieve it.

Thanks for the answer! I have seen this video. Is there any other way that I can avoid using the code because, in my free plan, I can’t use it :(

If you have a fixed amount of projects to showcase, or do not need to update it very often. You can try changing it to “My Other Projects”, that would be easier to achieve. Just have to nest the same collection, create the link layout and set filter to Work is not equal to Current Work.

The current way may also be achieved if you create multiple links and play with the filter for each so it only shows the project link you want on each project. For example creating a collection field called Project Number.

Say you have Project Number 1 - 4:

Create 4 different Project Link Block linking to each respective projects.

On Project Link Block 1, since you want it to only show on Project 4 → set 3 filters Project Number is not 1 , Project Number is not 2, Project Number is not 3

And you do the same for Project Link Block 2, except the filter will be Project Number is not 2, 3, 4 so it will only show for Project 1. So on and forth.

The downside to this method is that you have to manually change and create link blocks settings for each new project, not automated on adding CMS items.

hi @Kseniia_Klimchuk as was already mentioned WF doesn’t offer any next/prev feature. for such functionality you will need custom code or any “plugin/extention”

In this case the easies way is to use only one link “back to projects” that will redirect to page where you presenting all your projects. :man_shrugging:
