Addressing looped items in nested groups

[Daniel_eon]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to reverse-engineer some modules in the Design Manager that an agency did for us and make changes to them, so I am not too familiar with HubL yet and am reading through the developer documentation as I go.

This one is a carousel module, based on the bootstrap carousel. To add more slides, the carousel-item-class is looped. I added some optional CSS gradient overlay controls to the looped image slide, which works fine.

 {% for item in module.slide %}

 <div class="carousel-item-{{loop.index}} carousel-item{% if loop.first %} img-fluid active{% endif %}" data-interval="{{ item.slide_duration *1000 }}" style="background-image: 
 {% if item.overlay_gradient %}
 linear-gradient(
 {% if item.gradient_direction != 'custom' %} 
 {{ item.gradient_direction }}
 {% else %} 
 {{ item.custom_direction }}deg
 {% endif %}, rgba({{ item.gradient_first_color.color|convert_rgb }}, {{ item.gradient_first_color.opacity / 100 }}), rgba({{ item.gradient_second_color.color|convert_rgb }}, {{ item.gradient_second_color.opacity / 100}})),
 {% endif %}
 url({{ item.image_slider.src }});background-size: cover;background-position: center;">
 {% if item.link %}<a class="carousel-item-link" href="{{item.link}}"></a> {% endif %} 

The looped carousel-item is put into a module subgroup called “slide”. Within this slide subgroup, I would like to create another subgroup “gradient_settings” (hence a nested group) for just the gradient controls. But then, I don’t know how to correctly address the items in the nested group with HubL. I tried various combinations, e.g.

• item.gradient_settings.gradient_first_color.color
• item.slide.gradient_settings.gradient_first_color.color
• module.item.slide.gradient_settings.gradient_first_color.color
• module.slide.gradient_settings.gradient_first_color.color

etc., but none of these work.

How do I need to address items in HubL with this hierarchy?
Module - looped “slide group” - Nested “gradient_settings group” within the looped “slide group” - single item?

Thanks

Hey @Daniel_eon

Thank you for the information provided. I’ll tag a few experts that can share their knowledge with you.

Hey @FabianRichter @John @DavidFJones could you please share your thoughts with @Daniel_eon?

Thanks

Hi Sharon,

thank you, much appreciated

[John]

a screenshot of the module fields might help us wrap our head around what you are asking

Hi John,

thanks for the reply. So here is what the module structure /hierarchy looks like currently and which works with the code posted above:

And here is what I would like to do. As soon as I move controls in a nested group, the above code no longer works, as the path to the controls changes.

Pls try this

item.gradient_first_color.color

Hi vish,

thanks for the suggestion. This is how the items are currently addressed in the code, and this works fine. But that stops working once you put the items in a nested group.

Hey

Had created the same setup and i could access it with the code i sent.

Hello

you can use:

{% for item in module.FirstStepFieldGroup.SecondStepFieldGroup %}

{{item}} that you need

{% endfor %}
