I have a code for your shopify system. Following the tutorial and support guidance, I did everything step by step, but after I'm done creating the file and editing it with the script below, then trying to save it, it gives me an error:

Unable to update the file

  • Invalid preset "{"en"=>"Video Background"}": cannot include blocks in preset because there are no blocks defined.
So I don't know what to do at this point. I really need this feature for my website, because my business is migrating from Wix to Shopify. Heres the tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wajvd9oL9Zg)

I have a code for your Shopify system.

Unable to update the file
Invalid preset "{"en"=>"Video Background"}": cannot include blocks in preset because there are no blocks defined.
So I don't know what to do at this point. I really need this feature for my website, because my business is migrating from Wix to Shopify. Here’s the tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wajvd9oL9Zg).

Hey there! I see you've followed the tutorial and added the code, but it looks like the error may be due to missing blocks in the preset for the "Video Background." This can happen if the "blocks" section in your schema is incomplete or not properly defined.

Here are a few steps that might help:

Check the Block Definitions: Ensure that each block type you need is included in the blocks section of the schema, especially the "video" type since the error mentions blocks.
Adjust the Preset: Look at the presets section to ensure that the block type aligns with the schema. The error you’re seeing can happen if the preset specifies a block that isn’t fully defined in the schema.
Save and Test: After adjusting, save and refresh your theme editor to see if the changes take effect.
If this doesn’t resolve it, you might want to compare your code with the tutorial in case there were additional steps for defining blocks within the preset. Shopify’s support or community forums could also provide guidance on custom sections. Let us know how it goes! 😊

Also, if you’re looking to enhance image quality with ease, consider the modyedge. It’s popular for its AI-driven photo enhancement, offering clear and vibrant transformations, perfect for content creators and business owners alike.
