I am trying to add a page on which I can display the Books collection I have created, similarly to how the Talent (home page) and About Us pages are displayed.
can anyone help me?
I have created a books collection and some sample books but so far seemingly having no joy.
I have duplicated the About Us page in order to use its as a template but the content is locked to “Teams”. Any idea how to edit this and input Books?
The switch will need to happen under the collection list’s settings. Your book collection content probably isn’t going to match up well with the team content/layout. It’s usually better to start the design from scratch with new collection content.
Thank you. I noticed that. My only issue is that it was seemingly locked. Of course the content will be different as I have different selectors but just can’t seem to access that CMS collection in any sort of straightforward way…
Are you saying there’s another way to add the collection? (I understand I could / should read up on this but was trying to run against a clock!)
As Port of Folio says, you can just add a new collection list, bind it to your new collection and then begin designing it and binding content.
If you want to “rebind” your current collection list to a new collection you must unbind all of its child elements first. Look for purple things, those are a good indicator of data-bound content. Check everything on the left side navigator, and for each element in your collection list, check everything on the settings panel for bindings.
I am trying to connect the books component now and have managed to create a collection div but seemingly difficult to create a similar design to the one I already have above that with “Teams”.
Either that or I have totally forgotten how to do this, which is worrying
