How to generate a dynamic URL to a category page using a template manifest

Con risposta

Data ultimo post: 16 giu 2022

Hello,

I'm using a help centre template and it has custom blocks that can navigate to another page when clicked.

We can put a URL in this custom block to link it to a category page called "Clients". However, we may not want it hard coded as that URL may change in the future, for example in the case it get’s deleted. I was wondering if there is a way we can call a function to generate this URL dynamically?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, you need to add only clients_page_url instead of {{dc.clients_page_url}}

Remove curly braces and dc, it would be only clients_page_url

i). Your anchor tag should have setting's identifiers like this.

ii). Your manifest block should be like this.

iii). Then your setting in sandbox would be like this.

Thanks

Hi Ifra,

Thanks very much for your response.

The url for this custom block needs to be set in the manifest.json file but it doesn't seem to allow for a dc variable, only a string?

This doesn't work...

Is there a way to add a dc variable in the manifest.json file?
