CMS Category Pages - New Build Question

At a glance

The community member is building a website using Airtable as the CMS and is facing a challenge in creating a category page that shows a selection of pages instead of the full list. They are looking for suggestions or tutorial videos on how to achieve this. The comments suggest that the community member should check out Baserow as a potential alternative to Airtable, and provide links to resources on creating overview pages in other CMS platforms like Hygraph. However, there is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.

Useful resources

So as I embark on our test build I am running into a few headscratchers for sure. I am building use Airtable as the CMS, really like how that works and I have a single page with all elements from the CMS running and then an individual page from that list - much like you would have products listed. One thing I can't seem to find or work out is creating an in between page for a category, showing just a group of pages and not all the pages.
Any suggestions or how to videos would help.
Also any suggestion on if there is a better CMS option than Airtable.

directly comparing airtable, baserow is our fav

I am not sure I understand what you mean by something "in between" ... any page is just rendering data you give to it, so you can create whatever data selection with your query

Hey Oleg, I mean just a category page, so its not showing the full list, just a selection of the list (it could be a department, country, city etc.) I am sure there will be some code I can write for it.

Thanks for the link above as well, I will check that out.

how is this different from any overview page we have demonstrated with a number of videos and docs? e.g. posts overview in hygraph or other templates and videos

SSavvyChris

Do you have a link to that as I am probably searching for the wrong thing as I build my terminology
