YouTube Dynamic Field in Dawn Theme Template

[jvanzile]

I created a Page Template for Music Artist Bios that include a Music Video from YouTube for each Band. I would like to add the Artist or Band URL in a metadata field and populate each Bio page dynamically. There will be a lot of Bios and therefore videos so I need to use YouTube. I do not see any way to do this dynamically.

You can do this with metaobjects. So create a metaobject with all the fields like video, artist name, etc. Add your entries(artist) through that metaobject. And create a page metafield and assign this metaobject field to the metafield. 

Check out this video, i believe this explains exactly what you need.

This was super helpful in many other ways, it caused me to rethink the design of my whole Shopify site with the Bios. I haven't been able to quite figure out how to accomplish what I am trying to do with this method yet. I created a metaobject template and am populating that with the dynamic metadata fields that I've created, works perfectly. What I am trying to do now is add a Section for the YouTube video to the template and populate from the metaobject template. Still playing around with this and referring back to the video you provided.

Yeah, the guy explained the concept of metaobjects pretty well and in your case it matched pretty I mean you were trying to achieve almost exactly to what this guy took as an example to explain the concept.

Anyways glad it was helpful.
