Core Implementation

Navigation from Live/Staging to Designer

We want to construct this-

  &itemId=6372c946cfa1f92b809ce59b

Extraction approach;

  • Shortname. Extracted from CSS / JS path.

    • For Hyperspeed-proxied sites, we need an alternative approach.

  • Locale ( optional? ) From <html lang>

  • PageID. From <html data-wf-page>

  • ItemID. Could potentially determine this through a lookup using <html data-wf-item-slug> through the Webflow API to obtain the Item ID. The Collection ID and Site ID would also be used here.

    • Consider building this into Hyperflow Central Services for better resolution.

For reference, here is a typical <html> element in Webflow;

Alternative Shortname Approaches

  • Webflow API, through Hyperflow Central Services

  • Explicit HEAD settings
