CMS Slider

At a glance

The community member is new to Webstudio and has questions about transitioning from Webflow. They use methods from Timothy Ricks and Finsweet in Webflow and are unsure about the token system in Webstudio. They have issues with images being out of scale or disappearing when copying and pasting projects from Webflow. They like that Webstudio doesn't require adding classes for styling, but are unsure how to manage multiple items at once, whether to use classnames or tokens. They also want to know if they can use a CMS slider like SwiperJS, and inquire about the roadmap for animations, which they notice are not yet in place. The community members provide some guidance, suggesting a tool for handling image issues, explaining that tokens replace classes for styling, and confirming that Swiper.js can be used, but there is no exact ETA for animations.

I'm new here and considering switching from Webflow to Webstudio. There are a few things I don't understand yet so I'd love your guidance.

I use a lot methods from Timothy Ricks and Finsweet from Webflow. I hope you can point me to the right direction, I'm a quick learner.

I'm not familiar with the token system yet. I try to copy and paste projects from Webflow over, and one thing I notice is the image always out of scale or disappear on the canvas.

Another thing I like about this is that you don't need to add classes to style, which would save a lot of time. However, how do you manage multiple items at the same time? Should I use classname or token?

Can I use CMS slider? I mainly use SwiperJS in Webflow but unsure how it works here.

How's the roadmap for animation? I notice the animation is not in place yet, so it would be super helpful to know.

Any community leader here that I should follow?

TIA

Hi,

the image always out of scale or disappear on the canvas.

sounds like a bug, we have this tool for providing json data you are trying to copy-paste, please copy that image in a way that is broken when pasted in webstudio and paste it into that tool, then copy json over and post it here

Token replaces classes for styling in webstudio, please check out university and docs https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4vVqpngzeT4sDlanyPe99dYl8BgUYCac

Swiper.js is the way, we have a template in the marketplace but its mostly the same way

Thank you @Oleg Isonen let me check it out.

I use a lot of CMS so it's important to know if I can do something similar. I know there's unlimited nesting but I have never used headless cms before (if I say that correctly).
