I have an online store on Shopify. What I am trying to do is on a product page, have a "also needed" type list. I've created all my lists and other items, but what I can't seem to figure out is how to list the variants of one product on another product page.
What I have for my option menu is this:
<select id="product-select" name="id" data-id="{{ 304164943 }}">
{% for variants in product.variants %}
<option value="{{ variant.id }}">{{ variant.title }} - {{ variant.price | money }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
which outputs:
<select id="product-select" name="id" data-id="304164943">
<option value=""> - </option>
<option value=""> - </option>
<option value=""> - </option>
<option value=""> - </option>
<option value=""> - </option>
<option value=""> - </option>
the data-id of 304164943 is for the product I want to list the variants of but the dropdown menu this generates is empty.
You can not access a product via its ID with Liquid. You can however access it will the handle. So if the handle was known you could do this:
{% assign relatedProduct = all_products['some-handle'] %}
{% for relatedVariant in relatedProduct.variants %}
<option value="{{ relatedVariant.id }}">{{ relatedVariant.title }} - {{ relatedVariant.price | money }}</option>
{% endfor %}
You've also got an error in your loop code posted - it should be for variant, not for variants. I'm guessing that's just a typo here.
The product page will only return the object of the product belonging to that page. It won't return the object of another product. So to access this you'd need to do some javascript jiggery pokery or create a link list. Here is a tutorial using a link list:
http://www.tetchi.ca/shopify-tutorial-how-to-create-a-part-picker-form/
Or, you can go the JS route. You'd need to grab the product object via ajax, and append the returned data to the page. To grab this data, you'd need to do an ajax get using the Ajax api:
https://docs.shopify.com/support/your-website/themes/can-i-use-ajax-api
So if using jquery - something like this would work: (where <product-handl> is the handle of the product you wish to insert)
$.get( "/products/<product-handle>.js", function( data ) {
var variants = data.variants; // all your variants
// Then you can loop over the variants insert the options into your page...
});
As this is added after the page has rendered, you'll need to do some ajaxy cart stuff so you can put stuff in the cart. Your theme may already have some ajaxy cart stuff in it.

What I want to do:
Capture two variables {{section.settings.{{title}}_modal_title}}
Context:
The links in the linklist are not really used as links, but purely so user can reorganize it in their Shopify portal.
External javascript file creates elements (modals) on click event, value from section.settings.XXX_modal_title is supposed to be used in the created modals.
The linklist:
<ul class="menu">
{% for link in linklists.main-menu.links %}
<li data-menu="{{ link.title | upcase }}" class="menu-link">
<p class="menu-title">[{{ link.title | upcase }}]</p> <-- Click event
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
What I tried:
My first try was adding the liquid tag itself with .insertAdjacentHTML('afterbegin', {{section.settings.${attLowerCase}_modal_title}}) when the element is created, but soon realized that liquid renders the values first. The output of doing this is literally "{{ }}"
My second try was to capture two variables and put it in a hidden input.
{% assign title = link.title | downcase %}
{% capture section_title_variable %}
{{section.settings.{{title}}_modal_settings}}
{% endcapture %}
<hr class="item-line">
<p class="ueq-menu-title">[{{ link.title | upcase }}]</p>
<input type="hidden" id="about_modal_title" value="{{section_title_variable}}">
In depth example:
section.settings
{
"type": "text",
"id": "about_modal_title",
"label": "About window title",
"default": "ABOUT"
},
User clicks on link ABOUT
<ul class="menu">
{% for link in linklists.ueq-menu.links %}
<li data-menu="{{ link.title | upcase }}" class="menu-link"> <-- "ABOUT"
{% assign title = link.title | downcase %} <-- downcase to "about"
{% capture section_title_variable %}
{{section.settings.{{title}}_modal_title}}
{% endcapture %}
<hr class="item-line">
<p class="menu-title">[{{ link.title | upcase }}]</p>
<input type="hidden" id="about_modal_title" value="{{section_title_variable}}"> <-- captured should look like this {{section.settings.about_modal_title}}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
on click event, get the value from hidden input, and use it when creating elements.
"Why not use {% javascript %}?"
I prefer to do it this way, since most of my script files are external. I like to keep it that way.
"Why capture it like that?"
The links in the linklist are already known, this was in the design. Thats why in sechema one of them is called "about_modal_title". Since this is used inside a for loop, this was the only way I could come up with to connect the title and schema settings with each other.
If someone knows a better way to do this instead of putting it in a hidden input, please let me know :)
In proper Liquid syntax, curly-brackets are never embedded inside curly-brackets
The syntax {{ something_{{ you }}_want }} is illegal Liquid syntax - once an expression is started, using either {{ or {%, everything up to the next }} or %} is evaluated as one template command.
In your example, you're looking to combine two strings in order to get the name of a setting that you want to access. In a dedicated programming language, we would expect there to be nice shortcuts for something like this. Liquid, however, is first and foremost a templating language, and doesn't have such shortcuts. Instead, we will need to accomplish our goal in two steps.
The first thing we need to know is that we can access properties in two ways: {{ settings.fieldname }} is equivalent to {{ settings['fieldname'] }}
Thanks to that second syntax, we can access an arbitrary setting using a variable:
{% assign field = 'fieldname' %}
{{ settings[fieldname] }}
So to do something more complicated, we just need to use assign (or capture - just be aware that capture includes whitespace as well!) to get a variable that contains the name of the field we want to access, then pass that in to the square brackets:
{% assign title_field = link.title | downcase | append: '_modal_title' %}
{{ section.settings[title_field] }}
I am looking for a simple way to implement a simple "coming soon" (pre-launch) page for my project. Users should be able to leave an email and name in order to be notified when the project is launched.
You already have an email field on this page. When enters his email and clicks the Notify button, an inactive customer account will be created for that user. On launching your store you can send account invites to all the customers that submitted this form, using standard Shopify functionality.
You mentioned that you also want to collect customers names. You can do that by adding additional fields to this form. You're using Debut theme so just open the sections/password-content.liquid file and add these fields between {% form 'customer' %} ... {% endform %} tags. Note, as Shopify customer will be created, you have to use two fields - one for the first name and one for the second name. Just duplicate the email field and change name attributes. See an example below how these fields may look like, note how field names are grouped with contact[...]:
<input type="text" name="contact[first_name]" placeholder="First Name">
<input type="text" name="contact[last_name]" placeholder="Last Name">
You can also change the tags to be applied to the customer on creation. In the Debut theme, these tags are password page and prospect by default.
Adding more fields
You can collect more information on this page. Just add "note" fields with names like contact[note][Field name]. The information from these fields will be displayed in the Customer Note field. For example, if you want to ask customer leave a phone number you would use something like that:
<input type="text" name="contact[note][Phone]" placeholder="Phone">
You can follow the logic from this tutorial: Add fields to the customer registration form. Just make sure you're grouping fields with contact[] prefix rather than customer[] as described in the tutorial, which is actually about another form.
What I found with the Debut theme is that if you put
<input type="text" name="contact[first_name]" placeholder="First Name">
<input type="text" name="contact[last_name]" placeholder="Last Name">
in between these tags {% form 'customer' %} ... {% endform %}
The form fields get squished together.
I found that the below worked for me, if you add it before the section {% form 'customer' %} ... {% endform %}:
<center><input
type="text"
name="contact[first_name]"
placeholder="First Name">
<input
type="text"
name="contact[last_name]"
placeholder="Last Name"
></center>
<br>
I've added a screenshot to show you what it looks like in Shopify
This is the final result of my code
I have got it working to capture the first and second name by adding these fields:
<label>First Name</label>
<input
type="text"
name="contact[first_name]"
id="{{ formId }}-first_name"
class="input-group__field {% if form.errors contains 'first_name' %} input--error{% endif %}"
placeholder="Please enter your first name..."
{%- if form.errors contains 'first_name' -%}
aria-invalid="true"
aria-describedby="{{ formId }}-first_name-error"
data-form-status
{%- endif -%}
>
<label>Last Name</label>
<input
type="text"
name="contact[last_name]"
id="{{ formId }}-last_name"
class="input-group__field {% if form.errors contains 'last_name' %} input--error{% endif %}"
placeholder="Please enter your surname..."
{%- if form.errors contains 'last_name' -%}
aria-invalid="true"
aria-describedby="{{ formId }}-last_name-error"
data-form-status
{%- endif -%}
>
I'd love to know how to display errors if the fields are left blank though. Anyone know how to do this?
Many thanks.
I'm so close on this, but I just can't get the syntax right. I've been messing with this off and on for days. Essentially I have a greeting card message and I want the message to be filled in by the customer for every Greeting Card on the checkout page (cart.liquid) and I need the attribute name to change for every index. Therefore I'm adding the index to each attribute name, but to no avail. For testing purposes, here's a basic input field:
<p class="cart-attribute__field" style="min-width:300px;">
<label for="to{{ forloop.index }}">To:</label>
<input class="checkMe" id="to{{ forloop.index }}" type="text" name="attributes[To{{ forloop.index }}]" maxlength="40" data-stk="{{item.id}}" value="{{ cart.attributes['To'+forloop.index] }}" >
</p>
And its this part (value="{{ cart.attributes['To'+forloop.index] }}") that is giving me trouble.
You cannot use '+' operator in liquid code to append. Try this instead:
{% assign cart_attr = 'To' | append: forloop.index %}
<p class="cart-attribute__field" style="min-width:300px;">
<label for="to{{ forloop.index }}">To:</label>
<input class="checkMe" id="to{{ forloop.index }}" type="text" name="attributes[To{{ forloop.index }}]" maxlength="40" data-stk="{{item.id}}" value="{{ cart.attributes[cart_attr] }}" >
</p>
Note: Improvise as required.
Why would you not just use line item properties as described on https://docs.shopify.com/manual/configuration/store-customization/page-specific/product-page/get-customization-information-for-products
On my product page, with the following line of code in the product.liquid template, it generates 3 seperate dropdowns for the 3 different product options the product has, eg Type Color Size..
<div class="select">
<select id="product-select" name="id">
{% for variant in product.variants %}
<option {% if variant == product.selected_or_first_available_variant %}selected="selected"{% endif %} value="{{ variant.id }}">{{ variant.title }}</option>
{% endfor %}
</select>
</div>
however, i used the same code in the product-loop.liquid to show the same drop down on the collections page (without the option to add to cart).. but this time the dropdown appears as 1 single combined dropdown.
how do i split them up like before?
heres a screenshot of what both dropdowns look like :
You need to include option_selection.js in your collection.liquid template.
paste the following line at top or bottom of your collection.liquid template
{{ 'option_selection.js' | shopify_asset_url | script_tag }}
in my product page i have this input field for quantity:
<input min={{variant.title}} max="240"type="number" id="qty" name="qty" value={{variant.title}} />
the value of variant.title is 12, it represents the minimum amount that you could order
my concern is that when i click add to cart button, how do i pass the quantity input value to the quantity input field in cart page?
im pretty sure that the block of code below is the looping for the cart values, but where is the cart object assembled?
{% for item in cart.items %}
{% include 'cart-item' with item %}
{% endfor %}
See here on the Shopify wiki: Adding a quantity box to your product pages
If you adjust your input field to have name="quantity" the value will be passed to the cart.
For example:
<input min="{{variant.title}}" max="240" type="number" id="quantity" name="quantity" value="{{variant.title}}" />
