Multi-Level CMS structure without third-party tools

Design help General
1

Hi everyone, I’m working on a project that involves several levels of information, and I can’t seem to find the right solution.

Level 1 > Level 2 > Level 3 > Page Detail

I’d like to manage everything through the CMS without relying on third-party tools. Is it possible? Maybe with CMS Nest?

Thanks in advance!

No. Webflow supports collection>post. If you need nested paths I would choose a platform designed to support that natively. There are ways to hack the presentation but I can’t see why someone would want to go through all the effort and limitations.

Hello Jeff,

I’ve ended up using categories and removed one level.

  • Level 1: A page using the name of the main category
  • Level 2: A collection list with the same name as Level 1
  • Level 3: Categories
  • Page Detail

Here you go an example

It’s not supported natively, however it’s actually the main use case I designed SA5 Layout for. I’d most likely build the 3 levels as 3 separate collections, with each collection item containing a single-ref to its parent item.

For example, continent, country, city is a 3 level hierarchy.
Here’s a simple demo of what that looks like a 3 collection lists that are “stitched together” with SA5 layout.

It uses a simple container-item tagging approach, where custom attributes can just be bound to CMS slugs for convenience.
