How can I correct "Liquid error: comparison of String with 0 failed" when a collection is not published/ available?
If I make the collection unavailable/ not published I have
"Liquid error: comparison of String with 0 failed"
on the frontend.
Removing
{% if collections['catalogue'].products_count > 0 %}
shows "coming soon"
This is the line in question I think but I need to check there are products.
I've also tried adding
{% if collections['catalogue'] %}
I need the Catalogues section to be completely hidden until it's avaialble
{% if collections['catalogue'].products_count > 0 %}
<div class="contain collection collection--home" data-intro="fade-in-up">
<header role="banner" class="collection__title">
<h1 class="h3 font--condensed text--upper">Catalogues</h1>
</header>
<div class="collection-grid">
{% for product in collections['catalogue'].products limit:1 %}
{% include 'collection-item' %}
{% else %}
<p>{{ 'collections.general.no_matches' | t }}</p>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
{% endif %}
sorry I'm a liquid and Shopify nooob :-/
You can check the publishing date since that is null when is not published.
{% if collections['catalogue'].published_at != empty %}
// your code
{%- endif -%}
Please have in mind that you are checking for products count in your code but you are asking for collection availability which are 2 different things. A collection can be unavailable and still have products.
If you want to check for products swap it for:
{% if collections['catalogue'].products.size > 0 %}
// your code
{%- endif -%}

I followed the directions for the second way to tag a product to a blog
This is the website I used https://happypoints.io/shopify-add-products-to-blog-post-c2-stt-66/
This is the code that was entered
{% assign my_description = article.content | split: '=== split content ===' %}
{% assign my_description_size = my_description.size | minus: 2 %}
{{ my_description | first}}
<div class="show-product-list">
{% if article.tags.size > 0 %}
{% for tag in article.tags %}
{% paginate collections.all.products by 100 %}
{%- for product in collections.all.products -%}
{% if product.handle == tag %}
<div class="product_item">
{% include 'product-card-list' %}
</div>
{% endif %}
{%- endfor -%}
{% endpaginate %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
</div>
{{ my_description | last}}
after following all the directions I received an error message saying
Liquid error (sections/article-template.liquid line 42): Could not find asset snippets/product-card-list.liquid
I am not sure why the product wont link to the blog using the seo handle
Your code has a line:
{% include 'product-card-list' %}
That means Shopify expects to find some asset named product-card-list.liquid. Since it cannot, you get that error. Add that snippet of code, and your error will disappear.
I am using a free Venture theme on Shopify and i am trying to make a custom collection page.
I found a solution in stackoverflow but it was able to help someplace.
How to add collection.liquid to an existing page?
The summery of the solution is:
Copy everything that's in collection.liquid and paste it into a new snippet (let's say you call it collection-copy.liquid).
Then, in the page you want to add the collections page to, just add {% include 'collection-copy' %}
This solution worked well but there is one more issue for me. In the custom created page it says "Sorry, there are no products in this collection" In the customization of the same page there is a "collection" section. But in the "collection" section there is no option to choose a collection. There is only "Enable tag filtering" and "Enable sorting" check boxes.
Webpage: https://mottomfreedom.com/pages/less-is-more
Do you have any idea of assigning a collection with this custom created snippet?
{% paginate collections[settings.frontpage_collection].products by 20 %}
<div class="page-width">
<header class="grid medium-up--grid--table section-header small--text-center">
<div class="grid__item medium-up--one-half section-header__item">
<h1 class="section-header__title">
{{ collection.title }}
{% if current_tags %}
– {% assign title_tags = current_tags | join: ', ' %}
{{ title_tags }}
{% endif %}
</h1>
{% if collection.description != blank %}
<div class="section-header__subtext rte">
{{ collection.description }}
</div>
{% endif %}
</div>
<div class="grid__item medium-up--one-half medium-up--text-right section-header__item">

You are right about giving some time before accepting an answer :)) The solution worked but forced me to create 1 page and 4 liquid files per collection. And at the end, i figured out that some sections like "collection.list" doesn't directs to the page which i have created. I think you were talking about this at the beginning of the answer :)
After that, i found a much better solution. Just creating a new section.liquid file and placing it in "collection.liquid" with an "if" statement solved my problem.
{% if collection.handle == 'less-is-more' %}
{% section 'custom-featured-products-LESSisMORE' %}
{% endif %}
But in any way, i'm grateful for your interest. Thank you very much Dave.
It looks like there's nothing defining the collection variable anywhere.
I would suggest changing the beginning of your code snippet from:
{% paginate collections[settings.frontpage_collection].products by 20 %}
To:
{% assign collection = collections[settings.frontpage_collection] %}
{% paginate collection.products by 20 %}
There is an implicit collections variable whenever you're on a page that includes /collections/[something] in the URL, but when you're on a URL that's /page/[something], you have an implicit page variable in Liquid instead.
Note: if the collection set in your theme's value for settings.frontpage_collection isn't the one you want, you can possibly:
a. Change the value using the 'Customize' link beside your theme (most easily found on the /admin/themes page), useful if you're not going to use that setting for anything else;
b. Hard-code a collection handle, eg: collections['i-am-sure-this-will-never-change'], but hard-coded strings are ugly and should generally be avoided;
c. Create your own theme setting by adding an entry to config/settings_schema.json - see https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/development/theme-editor/settings-schema if you're still getting up to speed with custom theme settings; or
d. If all your content is in a section, you can use section settings (similar to theme settings) to make a variable that's tied specifically to just that block of code.
If you need to make these special pages for multiple collections, and each of these pages is largely reusing the same code, you can make your life easier by moving the common code to a snippet and passing variables to it from your page template. To do so:
Create a file in the 'snippets' folder of your theme. (For this example, let's say the file is called collection-in-page.liquid. We will be passing a collection into this snippet, so you can remove the assign statement.
In your page-specific template, figure out what the collection handle is going to be
a. This might be hard-coded, or it might be something you could look up by using metafields or tags on the page. Examples:
{% assign collection_handle = 'hardcoded-handle' %}, {% assign collection_handle = page.metafields.related_items.collection %}
In your page template, include the snippet you created. I find it helps to explicitly pass any variables I want to use, like so:
{% include 'collection-in-page', collection: collections[collection_handle] %}
Hope this helps!
In Shopify, I'm trying to take the template collection.liquid and render it in another page, just like embedding it. But i'm not sure how to accomplish that.
{% paginate collection.products by 50 %}
{% include 'breadcrumb' %}
{% if settings.show_sort_by and collection.products_count > 1 %}
{% include 'collection-sort' %}
{% endif %}
{% if current_tags.size > 0 %}
<h1>{{ current_tags.first }}</h1>
{% else %}
{% endif %}
{% if collection.description.size > 0 %}
<!--START HERO-->
<!--END HERO-->
{% endif %}
<!--START PRODUCT GRID-->
<section class="product-grid twelve columns alpha omega">
<div id="collection_hero" class="collection_hero_class">
<img src="http://carnegie.org/fileadmin/Media/News/press_releases/whitehouse.JPG">
</div>
{% if collection.products.size > 0 %}
{% for product in collection.products %}
{% include 'product-grid-item' %}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
<p id="no-products" class="animated fadeInUpBig">There aren't any products in this collection!</p>
{% endif %}
</section>
<!--END PRODUCT GRID-->
{% include 'paging' %}
{% endpaginate %}
I've been trying to do the same thing and kept getting errors.
Fixed it by making a new Snippet called list-collections and copying everything from list-collections.liquid into that. Then made a page template called page.list-collections.liquid and pasted this code into that before /div: {% include 'list-collections' %}
Then, I made a new page using the page.list-collections template, and entered my introductory text, images etc in that, which displays above product collections on the page when published :)
Copy everything that's in collection.liquid and paste it into a new snippet (let's say you call it collection-copy.liquid).
Then, in the page you want to add the collections page to, just add {% include 'collection-copy' %}
That should just dump everything that's in collection-copy.liquid and output it to your page.
The simplest way to do so is to :
Create a new page template for example : page.list-collections
Then place under : {{ page.content }} this line :
{% section 'list-collections-template' %}
Now create a new page in Shopify then select the new page template.
Normally you should be able to add new collections in the "Customize" section of your page !
I'm new to shopify. I'm trying to limit the output of the product for example 4 product for each tag. but seems like there is variables for me to loop..
anyone can help? thx.
{% for tag in collection.all_tags %}
{% if current_tags contains tag %}
<li class="active">{{ tag | link_to_remove_tag: tag }}</li>
{% else %}
<li>{{ tag | link_to_add_tag: tag }}</li>
{{ tag }}
{% if collection.products.size > 0 %}
<ul class="product-grid just">
{% for product in collection.products %}
{% if product.tags contains tag %}
<li>{% include 'product-grid-item' %}</li>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p><strong><br/>No products found in this collection.</strong></p>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
The limit parameter can be used to display the first 4 products in a collection:
{% for product in collection.products limit:4 %}
However if you need to display a limited number of products with a given tag, you will need to implement your own counter. See this discussion on the Shopify forums for an example of how to do this.
E.g.
{% for tag in collection.all_tags %}
{{ tag }}
{% assign counter = 0 %}
{% for product in collection.products %}
{% if product.tags contains tag and counter < 4 %}
<li>{% include 'product-grid-item' %}</li>
{% assign counter = counter | plus: 1 %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
For a good separation the logic how many items are to be displayed is better put somewhere the "List" is made ready for output.
This way you don't have to do content related maths in the view, which is never a good idea since it doesn't put code where it belong and other people wanting to change something may have difficulties to find it. That being said you can either put the limitations on the collection.products object based on a configured backend parameter just before handing the object to the rendering or you go further back and intervene at the "grab products from database" point and limit/alter the result. ;)
There sure is a possibility to use an incrementing counter and stop at 4 in the template but I can hardly recommend to use that since it's not where the logic should be. The template should show, not think what to show, otherwise it's hardly reusable.
I am trying to write a simple if statement, but always struggle with shopify's system.
Essentially I want it to do this:
{% if collection.product == 'discontinued' %}
This Product is Discontinued.
{% endif %}
If it's in this collection, then display this text/html. Otherwise it wouldn't display anything. This would be in the product.liquid template.
Any ideas?
This is what ended up working:
{% for c in product.collections %}
{% if c.handle == "discontinued" %}
This product is Discontinued
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
You can create an array of the collections for a product using map on product.collections. This which will create a new array with your specified property, i.e. the handles of each collection.
You can then check if this new array contains the handle you want to work with.
{% assign productCollections = product.collections | map: "handle" %}
{% if productCollections contains 'your-collection-handle' %}
{% comment %} DoSomething {% endcomment %}
{% endif %}
So for your example:
{% assign productCollections = product.collections | map: "handle" %}
{% if productCollections contains 'discontinued' %}
This product is Discontinued
{% endif %}
You can map other fields if your case is different, such as the title.
I guess this will help any one, I have used in the sidebar of shopify website.
The current collection page will get checked by this below code.
<div class="row-fluid not-animated" data-animate="fadeInUp">
<div class="title">By Collections</div>
<form class="coll">
{% assign col_tags = collection.title %}
{% for collection in collections %}
<input type="radio" value="{{ collection.url }}" name="collections" {% if col_tags contains collection.title %} checked {% endif %} >{{ collection.title | escape }} <br/>
{% endfor %}
</form>
If I understand how liquid collections work in Shopify, you will need to iterate over all of your products.
You'd need to do something similar to this if you are working with collections directly:
{% for product in collection.product %}
{% if product.tags contains 'discontinued' %}
This product has been discontinued :(
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
If you are just working with a single product you can probably just use the inner if liquid tag part.
References:
Collection.liquid
Product.liquid
You can indeed add discontinued products to a collection called discontinued.
When rendering a product, you could do as csaunders suggests, simply loop through all the products in the discontinued collection, and check if the id of the current product matches any of the products in that collection. If so, do what you must do. No need to use tags.
