How to add custom label to your article?

Concept supports adding custom labels to your articles, which you'd see on your blog or news pages.

Custom labels can be applied to each article. This feature utilizes metafields, so simply add metafield definitions and assign labels to the desired articles.

Essential Prerequisite: Before applying standard or custom metafields, ensure you've reviewed Shopify's guide on adding metafield definitions.

Note:

This step only needs to be done once and will affect all articles. If you have already done this, please skip it. Since metafields work independently of the theme, this step also doesn't need to be done again when you update or reinstall the theme.

Adding two new metafields

This part guides you through creating two new metafields: Tag color and Tag background.

  1. On your Shopify Admin dashboard > Settings.

  2. In Custom data > Blog posts.

  3. Follow the steps outlined in the table below.

    • The left column details creating the Tag color.
    • The right column focuses on Tag background.

    Remember to click SAVE after creating each metafield.

    After choosing the Blog posts, you click the button Add definition on the top right corner.

    In the Add blog post metafield definition, set up the details of the Tag color metafield including:

    • Name - Tag color
    • Namespace and key - theme.tag_color
    • Select content type - select Color and One value.

    In the Add blog post metafield definition, set up the details of the Tag background metafield including:

    • Name - Tag background

Assigning metafield values for the article

  1. From your admin panel, navigate to the Blog posts. Select the article where you want to add labels. For this example, we'll use an article titled 'The Journey of Stereo Sound'

  2. On the article editing page, scroll down to find the Tags section where you can add labels. To view all metafields' values, click Show all next to the Metafields section.

  3. The Tag color and Tag background fields are displayed here. To customize these colors, simply click on each field and choose your desired color from the color picker.

    "

    For this example, we used #ECFCCB for the tag color and #4D7C0F for the background.

    Then click Save to finish.

  4. Once you finish these steps, the 'The Journey of Stereo Sound' article will be labeled Speakers with the color scheme you defined!
