Re: Add a table using metafields?

How can I insert a table into product tabs using metafields?

Hi,

I'm reaching out there as I cannot get support from the theme developers. 

I have a store that is an OS2.0 Impulse theme. In here we are using product tabs (open/close) boxes for the product many descriptions and we are doing so using text metafields. The final tab is however a table and I'm unable to get up table info to it. i.e. tab blocks will only accept text metafields input. 

I've tried adding the table as a JSON metafield, however there is no option to pull this in as a product tab on the theme. If I leave the table on the base product description, it presents fine but it stacks ahead of the metafield content and this looks wrong. 

You can see what I mean on the actual page:
https://femfuelz.myshopify.com/products/whey-protein 
The final tab 'Nutritional Information' is where I want to place the nutritional info table.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me to overcome this? 

many thanks again.

Hi David,

I did find a solution. Essentially I had to create individual pages for each table (which is housed as normal in the description area). You can then use metafields to point to a page.

does it mean you need to create specific page with table for each product?

I was looking for a very similar thing to generate tables and ended up developing this free tool which can be implemented easily into your theme. https://webforward.github.io/shopify-tables/
