Hi,
i need a quick help to understand the difference.
I build a Site with CMS Collections and i saw that always a “template” was created under “CMS Collection Pages”.
I use my CMS Collections under one of my “Static Pages”. I insert there a Collection List, choose which Collection should use and designed it. Everything is working.
But what i don’t understand is, for what i can use this “Template” Sites under “CMS Collection Page”? Especially i ssaw that there are more SEO Funktions?
Should i create my Collections first inside the “Template” Sites? And than rebuild them in the “Static” Sites?
Well, i am confused. I watch some tutorials but could not figure out the difference.
Good question. The difference between a static page and a CMS collection page is the following.
A CMS collection template page is a page for an object in your CMS. A page is generated dynamically via the content in your CMS Collection so that each item has a individual page with a specific URL and specific content relating to that item. This saves you time as you don’t have to manually create a new page for each item in your CMS.
A static page is simply a page that you design yourself and need to create one every time you want a page with different information/content on it.
@FromMuc I may not be understanding your question properly. But here is another video! Hope this helps explain it.
Essentially the templates for your collections. Allow you to design one page for every collection item. And tied the elements to the entries in your CMS. And it auto generates the pages for those based off the template.
I also have a problem understanding the difference between static and CMS pages and I want to make sure I understand it due to the restrictions in number of pages that apply in pricing plans.
I watched both videos that you uploaded in this thread and here’s my question:
Takins as an example that real estate website you made, let’s assume that you want to add a video in the page of ONE of the real estate properties that are in that CMS collection. Either upload a video or embed a YouTube video. But ONLY in that one webpage, not in the rest of the real estate listings.
Can you do that? If yes, then would that turn that webpage into a static page because it doesn’t have the exact same template structure?
Let me add another example: Let’s assume I am building webpages for the team members of my company’s website.
I want the page of one team member to have this setup:
