I’m designing a Website for a Tattoo Studio, it was simple until i’ve tried to create personal galleries for each Tattoo Artist. I also read/watched many Tutorial but i didn’t find a solution… Below the navigation map, Artist-Page-Layout and the link to Webflow subdomain that explain better what i need to do.
“Galleries” collection. Each item is a gallery, having:
name field (standard)
reference field to the Artists collection
20 image fields
Then on the Artist page template, you will be able to add the dynamic collection of the galleries and filter it by the reference field equal current artist.
You may also want to add “gallery type” field in the Gallery item structure. It will let you separate 1,2 and 3 galleries of each Artist.
Hope my explanations make sense to you.
Feel free to ask more if you need more help
I followed your instruction to set the collections.
Now my problem is the Front End.
How can i build the Artist Page layout in order to browse the different Galleries within it?
Below 2 screenshot that help you to figure out what need.
Hmmmm… It seems the main problem will be to show all 3 galleries together in one “masonry grid”
Other than that, Part with the galleries I would make from the Tabs widget and add each gallery to the separate tab pane. Masonry grid can be easy done by following this post:
Once again, 3 galleries together put in one masonry grid will be hard, since each of them will be wrapped in a div (Dynamic item)
If masonry grid with all 3 galleries is necessary, then you will probably have to change the database structure
Create separate collections for the gallery, where will be all images.
Each item in this collection should have
image field
reference field to artists collection
gallery type
It will be a bit more complicated and may hit the Webflow CMS limits (maximum number of items in the collection) if site doesn’t have a paid CMS hosting
I’ve already create the Masonry Grid without problems but since 3 days the thing that stopped my job (and created problems with my client ) it’s the possibility to browse Galleries into the Artist Page.
As you suggested I’ve created Galleries (collection) for each Artist but it doesn’t work when i try to use the Layout below:
I see where you “stuck” and I know how to help you.
Please, could you re-create Gallery collection? For be able to show all 3 type of galleries you need all the images for one Artist inside one collection and each image should be a separate item (not the way I suggested first).
Let me know when structure will be done and I will be able to show you next step
You client will be NOT able to create COLLECTION, but will be able TO ADD IMAGES into existing collection.
So your role would be to create 3 collections for galleries, as many as you have artists( if there will be more artists, you need more galleries collections)
