Goal: Add a customizable slideshow block to Shopify Dawn blog post templates to avoid overly long pages from inline images.
Update: It is feasible with custom Liquid code combined with Shopify metafields so each blog post can reference its own set of images.
Guidance provided: A link to Shopify’s metafield documentation was shared for implementing and accessing metafields in Liquid templates.
Technical context: Metafields are custom data fields attached to resources (e.g., blog posts) that store additional content (like image/media references) which themes can render dynamically.
Action items: Define blog post metafields for images/media; update the blog post template to read these metafields and render a slideshow; configure per-post values; test customization.
Status: No specific code snippet or step-by-step instructions were provided. The request for concrete code and metafield setup details remains open and unresolved.
Hi!
I would like to add a customizable Slideshow Block to the template of my blog posts. Is that possible?
Right now I’m adding my images to the Content block in the blog editor but I end up with a page which is just too long so I would like to know if I could have a Slideshow that I can customise to each blog post.
Could someone help me with that?
Here is a link to one of my blog posts: https://blast-objects.com/blogs/news/op-t-oog-columns
Thank you!
hi yes you can add slideshow via using some custom code + metafields so that your each post show its own images.
thanks
Hi! Thank you for that!
Do you know what code/matefields i could use for that?
thanks!
