Passing a section schema variable to a snippet

Technical Q&A
1

Hi Shopify Community !

I’d super appreciate getting your insight on a particular problem that’s been torturing me for an hour :

I have a custom schema here in my section :

	  {
        "type": "text",
        "id": "banner-1-text",
        "label": "Texte",
        "default": "Texte"
	  },

==

Now I want to pass the text written in there to a snippet in that same section, so i did this :

{% assign banner-1-text = section.settings.banner-1-text %}
{% render 'collections-banner', banner-text:banner-1-text %}

And in the snippet, I’m outputting a bunch of stuff, but for the sake of this question let’s shorten it to :

<div>
  <p> {{banner-text}}</p>
</div>

This, according to what i read on forums, should do the job, but for some reason nothing is passed to the snippet and the

tag returns an empty tag

I really have no idea what I’m missing, so any help would be of great use and appreciated !

Thanks !

Not sure if it’s the issue, but it’s convention to name your liquid variables and schema ID’s using underscores instead of hyphens.

Try calling it banner_1_text instead of banner-1-text and see if it works.

Hi @RMoreno ,

Please change the code: banner-text => banner_text

{% render 'collections-banner', banner-text:banner-1-text %}

=>

{% render 'collections-banner', banner_text:banner-1-text %}

and


  

 {{banner-text}}

=>


  

 {{banner_text}}

it will work fine.

Thanks for the best practice !

I’ve tried though and it’s still not showing anything ..

I’m using the theme Expression (not that I think it has any impact but just in case).

Assuming you renamed your schema with underscore as well, it’s now a new variable and you’ll need to go into the theme editor and set it.

Hehe
Edit : I had forgotten to rename the assignment tag as well.

Works like a charm now ! Thanks a lot !
