Re: blog's text field as dynamic source, how?

blog's text field as dynamic source, how?

i'm designing a blog page (dawn theme)

the standard option is pretty boring so i'm in the theme editor on the blog page.

i have image with text. 
The image i can click the 3 dots from the dynamic content and it shows the blog's featured image. great!

at title i can select dynamic source and than title. so far so good.

but than the theme makers of the dawn theme have not created the actual blog's text field as a dynamic source.....

how can i:
have blog text show as dynamic source
can have multiple dynamic  images in my blog instead of only one featured image

Hi @jasss 👋

If a store needs a specific behavior themes should be researched to find one that has such behavior.

The content of a blog is a standard behavior with simple output in almost all sane themes, no configuration fiddling needed by merchants.

Providing an override of the content is not a standard practice either with custom-liquid, metafields or other logic. 

 

For building themes for dynamic sources in themes, see the dev docs for the implementation technicals.

https://shopify.dev/docs/storefronts/themes/architecture/settings/dynamic-sources 

 

💣Dynamic-sources availability is inferred automatically developers cannot dictate it explicitly.

For some metafield types + setting types there may be no dynamic-source interoperation.

In those situations using a liquid setting to output a metafield as liquid logic is the main workaround, i.e. {{ product.metafield.namespace.key.value }}
