What is the relationship between the custom meta object “salt x” and products on your site?
What are you trying to loop through? Eg products or metaobjects?
Topic summary
A developer is attempting to dynamically retrieve and display metaobject data on a custom Shopify page (URL: /pages/salt/salt-x) using Liquid code but is encountering difficulties.
Current Issue:
- The user has created a metaobject in Shopify (visible in screenshots) but cannot successfully output its data on the page.
- They’ve attempted using
shop.metaobjects[request.path]to access product data and iterate through it, but the implementation isn’t working.
Guidance Provided:
- A responder explained how to assign theme templates to metaobjects through the CMS admin and theme customizer.
- Two approaches were suggested: using the theme customizer to connect sections to metafields, or creating custom sections with direct HTML/CSS/Liquid editing.
- Screenshots demonstrate the metaobject admin interface and template creation workflow.
Outstanding Questions:
- The exact relationship between the “salt x” metaobject and products needs clarification.
- What specific data structure is being looped through (products vs. metaobjects)?
- The use case and desired layout remain unclear.
The discussion is ongoing, awaiting more specific details about the data structure and intended implementation.
