I have a section on a collection template that calls in 4 collections. Schema looks like this:
{
"type": "collection",
"id": "set_col_1",
"label": "Set builder 1"
},
{
"type": "collection",
"id": "set_col_2",
"label": "Set builder 2"
},
{
"type": "collection",
"id": "set_col_3",
"label": "Set builder 3"
},
{
"type": "collection",
"id": "set_col_4",
"label": "Set builder 4"
},
I want to print out the selected collection title, url, and featured image. I realize I could do this manually for each item, but for the sake of learning, I want to iterate.
I have this:
{% assign set_col_count = 0 %}
{% for i in (1..4) %}
{% assign set_col_setting = "set_col_" | append: i %}
{% if collections[section.settings.set_col_1] != blank %}
{% assign set_col_count = set_col_count | plus: 1 %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% if set_col_count > 0 %}
<div class="Grid">
{%- for i in (1..4) -%}
{%- assign set_col_setting = "set_col_" | append: i -%}
{%- assign collection = collections[section.settings.set_col_setting] -%}
<div class="Grid__Cell 1/2--desk">
{{ collection }} <!--Prints EmptyDrop -->
{{ collection.title }} <!--Prints nothing -->
{{ set_col_setting }} <!-- Prints text set_col_1... set_col_4 -->
</div>
{%- endfor -%}
</div>
{% endif %}
I am getting an EmptyDrop. I am not sure how to get the collection object. Obviously something is wrong in `{%- assign collection = collections[section.settings.set_col_setting] -%} `
What am I missing? If I jump out of this loop and just do, say, `assign collection = collections[section.settings.set_col_3]` and print `collection.title` , it works as expected.
