Struggling to get the blog 19 component to work with the finsweet attributes

@Andy you mind also sending the published URL (webflow.io) so I can see it not working

but I can see why already too, but I can show you a trick once you send the URL

@Matt Sure thing, here you go:

https://www.effectivegiving.ie/charities

Or you mean this one? https://effective-giving-ireland-aca627.webflow.io/charities

yeah either one is fine for what we gotta do here

@Andy so going the finsweet route is the most complicated way to go about it. Are you against just turning those into links and taking the user to a page that lists out the blogs within that category? I'm trying to find an example

it would be identical to this actually
https://webflow.com/blog

but yeah, you can use Finsweet's self-support tool, which is just this query parameter you use at the end of your published URL and follow the prompts, and it will tell you what is missing:
https://effective-giving-ireland-aca627.webflow.io/charities?fs-attributes-support=true

With that said, it looks like Finsweet CMS Filters is wanting to have the filers be a form, so you'd have to convert the first CMS collection list you have now to include form elements, not link elements.

You will also want to make sure that you are putting the attributes on the CMS collection LIST - right now, you have the attributes on the CMS collection list WRAPPER.

Additionally, you've included the default "IDENTIFIER" value. In your case, you'll want to change all instances where that is in the Finsweet documentation to be simply "category" and make sure that its identical across all instances where you define that value.

I'm seeing several missing attributes, which you can also see by that link above.

I'd say once you've resolved those issues, we can probably check in with the self-support tool again to see what else there might be, and go from there but those were the big things I saw in my quick glance.

But again, i think we might be over complicating this implementation.

Thanks @Matt I'm going to explore the simpler option similar to the webflow example. If that won't do it I'll come back to Finsweet later and see if I can get it to work following your guidance. Appreciate the support! 🙌

Might also be worth updating those components so the filters are made with forms rather than links just to help mitigate confusion when others try and use them with the finsweet power ups.
