Dynamic asset subfolder path for Craft Commerce

Question

I have a asset field where I would like to save the images in dynamic folders. The upload folder should be parsed for the Dropdown field values in a Matrix field.

For a normal Dropdown field it works with

{{ object.dropdownFieldHandle }} 

but for a Dropdown field in a Matrix field i can't get it working.

Any help is very appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

If you have an Asset field outside of Matrix and you want to set its "Upload Location" to be a dynamic value of Dropdown field inside of a separate Matrix field, something like this should work:

{{ object.matrixFieldHandle.type('matribBlockHandleTheFieldLivesIn').first().dropdownFieldHandle.value }}

Answer 2

I gave up my project to dynamically upload assets through matrix field dropdown values where the asset field is outside of the matrix field. I actually just wanted to save assets in a logical structure. I now save my craft commerce assets like this: product category/manufacturer/productionyear

{{ object.categoryFieldHandle.first.slug }}/{{ object.dropdownFieldHandle }}/{{ object.dropdownFieldHandle }}

Maybe this helps someone.
