How can I display a Metaobject field in a blog template?

[matsbeckman]

In Shopify, I have created a metafield definition in “Blog posts” with the namespace and key “custom.designer”.

In this metafield, I have selected a Metaobject with the reference “creatives”, and in this Metaobject I have a single text field with the key “creatives.designer”.

Can someone help me, how to display the field from the Metaobject in a Blog template?

I have tried with the following, but I haven’t succeeded yet:

{% for article in blog.articles %}
  <h2>{{ article.title }}</h2>

  <!-- Accessing the Metafield -->
  {% assign customDesignerMetafield = article.metafields.custom.designer %}

  <!-- Accessing the Metaobject -->
  {% assign creativesMetaobject = customDesignerMetafield.creatives %}

  <!-- Accessing the Text Field in the Metaobject -->
  {% assign designerField = creativesMetaobject.designer %}

  <!-- Displaying the Text Field Content -->
  <p>Designer: {{ designerField }}</p>
{% endfor %}

Hi @matsbeckman

Kindly check if you’re looking something like this

So, you should do it like below

{% for article in blog.articles %}
  ## {{ article.title }}

  
  {% assign customDesignerMetafield = blog.metafields.custom.designer %}

  
  

Designer: {{ customDesignerMetafield }}

{% endfor %}

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi @Sheesh_b ,
Thanks for your reply,

It doesn’t seem to work for me unfortunately.

Long story short. I want to display designers name, from a blog post, on a blog list in the blog template. The designers name is mentioned in a Metaobject field on a blog post, and I want to display this name on a blog posts grid like the example below:

To get the value from each designer (Metaobject) I have made the following metafield in the blog post custom data:

Hope this make sense.

Hi @matsbeckman

You can try below code in case:

{% for article in blog.articles %}
  ## {{ article.title }}

  
  {% assign customDesignerMetafield = article.metafields.custom.designer %}

  
  

Designer: {{ customDesignerMetafield }}

{% endfor %}

Hi @Sheesh_b

I get the reference “Designer: gid://shopify/Metaobject/57854722385” when using your solution.

Do you know how to translate this to the real value?

Hi @matsbeckman

Can you share your store access in private message to work on this better as I’m not getting what you’re doing at your side to check it better.
