Capturing Article.Handle and using it to find a Collection with that handle

[Nigel_Burke]

Hi all. I'm a bit stuck on this one. I've done something before but cannot for the life of me remember how to do it. Any help is greatly apprecited.

I'm trying to show a Collection on a Blog Article Page. The Collection I need to show has the same handle as the blog article.

The Article handles will be along the lines of 'nigel-burke'. So the Collection I am trying to show on that Article page is called 'Nigel Burke' along with '-ambassador' at the end of the handle too. I'm then wanting to show the products in that particular collection on that particular article page.

This is the code I am trying to use...

{% capture my_variable %}{{ article.title | downcase | replace: ' ','-' | append: '-ambassador'}}{% endcapture %}

<div class='ambassador-collection'>
{% for product in collections.[my_variable].products %}
{{ product.title }}
{% endfor %}
</div>

But it's not working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Nigel

Kate, thank you for taking the time to help me with this. 

I managed to get it working with your help, thanks. There was a little change needed here and there as you weren't to know a few things it needed to do too.

You set me off in the right direction though, so thank you again!

This is how it ended up working for me...

{% capture my_variable %}{{ article.title | downcase | replace: ' ','-' | append: '-ambassador'}}{% endcapture %}

<div class='ambassador-collection'>
{% for product in collections[my_variable].products %}
{{ product.title }}
{% endfor %}
</div>
