Question:
How can I create a list page with CMS content and use this page as a template for other list pages with different CMS content?
Product:
Wix Editor
What do you want to achieve:
Hi, I want to create 12 pages with the same design. Each page will display a list of different places in the city. I don’t need a specific item page for one of these places.
problem:
when i copy a cms list page, the layout is always totally destroyed and i have to fix everything again by hand.
What have you tried:
I’ve tried creating a dynamic list page and copying that page and linking it to a new cms collection - doesn’t work.
I have tried creating a cms collection on a non-dynamic page and copying it - the layout is always destroyed.
Try using Wix Blocks, create the page layout in Wix Blocks and connect data via widget APIs, but ofc you’ll need coding with Velo and JS knowledge to do this.
If you don’t want to code you can try these:
Instead of copying page copy and paste the sections you have.
Try duplicating pages (I’m not sure if you meant this by saying copy paste).
And I’m also not sure what you mean by saying layout is destryed? You mean the data connections between your elements and your collections or you mean the UI elements going to different places?
I can’t code unfortunately, so I’m looking for a workaround.
Instead of copying the page, copy and paste the sections you have.
→ then with a changed layout i have to adjust the layout on all pages handily. is there any way to avoid this?
Try to duplicate pages (I’m not sure if that’s what you meant by copy paste).
→ I tried that, unfortunately the layout is completely destroyed (the UI elements go to different places and have a different style and typos)
I think i will go with the solution: creating a cms collection on a non-dynamic page and copying the sections.
