Upload SVG icons
AUG 2023 - IMPORTANT NOTE: Shopify now allows uploading SVG files. For those who used SVG inline (under the Icons With Text block), which is now deprecated, you are required to re-upload those SVG icons to be compatible with the new change in Shopify. Then update your icons' width by following this guide.
Set the icon width

To adjust the icon's width, simply enter the extra class into the CSS classes field: image-width-100 (replace 100 with the desired value).

Change the SVG icon color

Here are steps to adjust the SVG icon's color:

  • Step 1: Convert your HEX color to CSS filter property.
Simply use this free tool, enter your HEX color format (e.g. #121212) to convert to CSS filter property. Then, copy the generated CSS filter result.

  • Step 2: Navigate back to your Theme Editor > click on the App section containing the Icons With Text block where you want to change the SVG icons' color.
  • Step 3: Paste the generated CSS filter property into the Custom CSS field. And hit Save.

How to create an Icons With Text metaobject

Note: Connecting metaobjects to your Online Store through dynamic sources is available for the Pro version only. You can configure this setting normally in the Theme Editor, and you need to upgrade your plan to apply it to the front end. Go Pro.
Step 1: Update Staff permissions

If your store has multiple staff members, make sure you assign the right permission for staff to work on the metaobjects.

Otherwise, your staff can not add entries when working with the metaobjects.

Step 2: Create Metaobjects
  • From your Shopify admin, navigate to Apps > Posstack Easy Content Builder > Custom Data.
  • Click on Create next to the desired content type (Icons With Text, Tabs, Accordions). Once created, you should see the message Metaobject and Metafield created:

  •   And all metafields associated with the above-mentioned metaobjects are automatically created too. You can check those metafields by following these steps:
    • In your Shopify admin, click Settings > Custom data
    • You should see 3 metafields Products, Pages, Blog Posts:

    • Click on each metafield Products, Pages, or Blog Posts to see the metafield definitions:

Step 3: Create entries for the Metaobjects
  • From your Shopify admin, select the part of your store that you want to add a metaobject to. For example, Products (Easy Content Builder now supports metaobjects for Products, Pages, Blog Posts).
  • Click the name of a product you want to edit.
  • In the Metafields section, click on the form field to add an entry (ECB Accordions, ECB Tabs, or ECB Icons With Text depending on which metaobjects you created in Step 2)

To create other entries, you repeat the exact steps by clicking Select Entry > Create New Entry. If you have already created entries, simply click the checkboxes to determine which entries will be displayed on your storefront. Here is an example of metaobject entries we created for demo purposes:

  • Once done, click Save.
Step 4: Connecting metaobjects to your Online Store through dynamic sources
  • From your Shopify admin, click Apps > Easy Content Builder
  • From the Easy Content Builder dashboard, click Manage Templates.
  • Then select the template that you want to edit and click Customize.
  • From the Theme Editor, open the Icons With Text block where you want to edit. Then insert two classes into the CSS classes field: dynamic-source image-width-100 (replace 100 with the desired value for your icons' width).

  • uk-text-bold: set the weight of both the Heading and body text to bold

Create layout boxes with different card styles
