How can i add or link author info to the design?

and what about other items such as summaries/descriptions, published date, categories, etc

Hi @Nicco 🙂
for this i would use the article object from Shopify.
https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/article
Inside you finde the user object which contains all the Author information (Name, Image etc)
https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/objects/user

So a author name would look like: li-object="article.user.name"
author Image: li-object:src="article.user.image | image_url: width: 100"

This is how to use the image_url filter: https://shopify.dev/docs/api/liquid/filters/image_url

The image of an author is the user image in shopify backend

what determines the dropdown arrow? (i DON'T want one)

the arrow is from the webflow dropdown. you can delete it webflow. Hope that helps

is that not linked to a certain setup on shopify's end of things?

is this a navigation? are there any liquid attributes applied to the arrow? can you send me the read only link?

yeah i have it straight from the starter template

possible to have 2 versions of a nav? or an option for editors inside of shopify to HIDE links/buttons? to only have a logo?

currently they have a "splash" page up: https://getbovi.com/

wanting to keep this while i test adding the blog in place

Hi Nico,
yes thats possible. We use prefixes in the menu title to show diffrent types of dropdowns: link.title contains '1-'

and then remove it in the text again: link.title | remove: '1-'

Here is an example: https://www.aqon-pure.com/

Does that solve your problem @Nicco ?
