Displaying blog posts on the product card

[ejkej87]

Now blogs are displayed like this, i.e. globally for all products because I have created 1 template. I would like to create metafields to throw 2 links from each product and call them as blog entries.
How to replace it so that when the metafields were completed, it would take entries from them, and if not, globally?

{% liquid 
  assign firstArticleToRender = nil
  assign firstBlogHandle = nil
  assign secondArticleToRender = nil
  assign secondBlogHandle = nil
  assign articlesCounter = 0
%}

  {% for blogPage in section.settings.all_blogs.links %}
    {% if articlesCounter == 2 %}{% break %}{% endif %}
    {% for articleItem in blogs[blogHandle].articles %}
      {% if articlesCounter == 2 %}{% break %}{% endif %}
      {% if articleItem.handle == articleHandle %}
      {% if firstArticleToRender == nil %}
        {% liquid
          assign firstArticleToRender = articleItem 
          assign firstBlogHandle = blogHandle
        %}
      {% else %}
        {% liquid
          assign secondArticleToRender = articleItem
          assign secondBlogHandle = blogHandle
        %}
      {% endif %}
      {% endif %}
      {% assign articlesCounter = articlesCounter | plus: 1 %}
    {% endfor %}
  {% endfor %}

It looks like you are using very complex solution to achieve this, and it will affect store performance as well. You can just create a metafield and add comma separated articles list there and parse it in liquid. It will simplify the process.

If it is helpful to you, please give me a thumbs up as recognition and also mark it as the solution if applicable.
Thanks!

I already have 2 links in metafields that I display like this and I get 2 links but how to replace them in blog post rendering

[pawankumar]

If it is list then you should first convert into json to use in javascript like
let relatedLinks = {{ product.metafields.custom.related_product_with_blog_post | json }};

[ejkej87]

ok, I have the links pulled out, what next? is there any way to link them to blogs?

[pawankumar]

Do you need them on javascript ?
and what is stored in link here ?
you can just iterate over those links and use aricles liquid object to pull particular article

[pawankumar]

{% for related_product_with_blog_post_link in product.metafields.custom.related_product_with_blog_post.value %}
{% assign articleHandle = related_product_with_blog_post_link | split: “/blogs/” | last %}
{% assign blogHandleParts = articleHandle | split :“/” %}
{% assign blogHandle = blogHandleParts | first %}
{% assign _blog = blogs[blogHandle] %}
{% assign _article = articles[articleHandle] %}

{% render “card-blog”, article: _article, blog_title: _blog.title, blog_url: related_product_with_blog_post_link %}

{% endfor %}
