Conversations about creating, managing, and using metafields to store and retrieve custom data for apps and themes.
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 }}
