Can the section in my Webflow Home page, where a CMS collection of events is displayed, be automatically hidden when there are no events?

TL;DR
  • Select the section containing the CMS collection of events, open element settings, and use the Conditional Visibility panel to add a condition for visibility when items are in the collection.
  • Publish and preview the site to test that the section hides when there are no events by temporarily removing all items from the CMS collection.

To automatically hide a section in your Webflow Home page that displays a CMS collection of events when there are no events, you can use Webflow’s conditional visibility feature. Here are the steps:

​

1. Use Conditional Visibility in Webflow

  • Select the Section: Locate the section that contains your CMS collection of events.
  • Open Element Settings: Click on the settings icon for the CMS Collection List.
  • Conditional Visibility Panel: Scroll down to find the Conditional Visibility option.
  • Add Condition: Set a condition such that the section is only visible when there are items in the collection. For example, “when isset Collection.”

​

2. Test the Visibility

  • Publish Changes: Ensure you publish your changes to see them live.
  • Preview the Site: Use the Webflow Preview feature to ensure that the section hides when no events are available.
  • Check with No Events: Temporarily set your CMS Collection to have no items to see that the visibility works as intended.

​

Summary

By setting a Conditional Visibility condition on your CMS collection section, you can ensure that it remains hidden when there are no events available. This provides a more dynamic appearance and improves user experience.
