Hi Shopify Community, Please help

I’m currently working on a project where I need to fetch and display metaobjects from a specific folder in Shopify using Liquid. The folder is named “Johnson Controls” under the “Connections” metaobjects.

Despite my efforts, the metaobjects are not being displayed correctly on the page. I’ve included debug statements to verify the fetched metaobjects, but it still doesn’t seem to work.

Here is the code I’m using

{% assign connection_name = 'connections' %} {% assign folder_name = 'Johnson Controls' %} {% assign metaobjects = shop.metaobjects[connection_name] %}

{% comment %}
Debugging Output: Display all fields of each metaobject
{% endcomment %}

Debug Information

    {% for metaobject in metaobjects %}
  • Name: {{ metaobject.name }}
      {% for field in metaobject %}
    • {{ field[0] }}: {{ field[1] }}
      • {% endfor %}
    • {% endfor %}

{% assign filtered_metaobjects = metaobjects | where: ‘company’, folder_name %}

{% if filtered_metaobjects.size > 0 %}

{% render ‘meta-tags’ %}
{% else %}

No metaobjects found for the specified company.

{% endif %}

{% for metaobject in filtered_metaobjects %}

{% if metaobject.photo.value %} {{ metaobject.name.value }} {% else %}

No photo available for {{ metaobject.name.value }}

{% endif %} {% if metaobject.name.value %}

{{ metaobject.name.value }}

{% endif %} {% if metaobject.job.value %}

{{ metaobject.job.value }}

{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
