By default StoryChief will publish to your default collection, using the default blueprint and the mapping defined in config/storychief.php.

The following article explains how to set up publishing to multiple collection types/blueprints and mapping.

Before you get started

Connect your Statamic website

Set up the publishing to multiple collections

Step 1. Create a custom field of type "single option" on StoryChief where you can select your collection type.

Add options and set a label and description making it clear for your case.
See the example below.

Step 2. Configure your Statamic website to change collection, blueprint and/or mapping based on the custom field value we created in Step 1.

⚠️ Caution: The following should be done by your developer.

Inside App\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php register a custom implementation for the storychief_config facade.

<?php namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
  /**
   * Register any application services.
   *
   * @return void
   */
   public function register()
   {
      // Register a new binding for the facade 
      app()->bind('storychief_config', function () {
         return new \App\Facades\CustomStoryChiefConfig();
      });
   }

   ...

Step 3. Create the CustomStoryChiefConfig() class where you can change the collection, blueprint and mapping based on the incoming $payload.

<?php namespace App\Facades;

use Statamic\Support\Arr;
use StoryChief\StoryChief\Helpers\Configuration as StoryChiefConfig;

class CustomStoryChiefConfig extends StoryChiefConfig
{
   public function set(array $payload): void
   {
      // Find the custom field in the $payload
      $collectionCustomField = Arr::first(
         $payload['data']['custom_fields'] ?? [],         
         function($field){
            return (isset($field['key']) && $field['key'] === 'MY_CUSTOM_FIELD_KEY');
         }
      );

      if(
         $collectionCustomField && 
         $collectionCustomField['value'] === 'news'
      ){
            config()->set('storychief.collection', 'news');
            config()->set('storychief.blueprint', 'newsitem');
            config()->set('storychief.mapping', [
               'title' => 'title',
               'content' => 'body',
            ]);
      }
   }
}

🎉 You're done, grab a coffee, you deserve it!
