I want to display a description of "Test" collection's page.
If the url is mysite.com/collections/test then it will show the description part.
But if the url have extra tags, example: mysite.com/collections/test/big it won't show the description.
I tried with this code below but it didn't work:
{% if collection.description != blank %}
{% if collection.url == '/collections/test' %}
<div class="collection-description regular-content mb30">
{{ collection.description }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
Please help me with this. Thank you.
Just add an extra condition to the first if, which will check if you have added any tags.
{% if collection.description != blank and current_tags == blank %}
<div class="collection-description regular-content mb30">
{{ collection.description }}
</div>
{% endif %}
The current_tags object lists all tags used in product/articles filtering.

I am trying to pull through related blog posts if the article.tags == the string given within the section settings.
I have tried a few different variations but to no effect. My code looks like this (don't worry about the content within the if loop, this is all fixed into shape by the CSS):
{% for article in blogs.news.articles limit:1 %}
{% if article.tags == section.settings.brand-news-tag | strip_html %}
{% assign image_src = article.image.src | img_url: 'large' %}
<div class="brand-page-featured-news-blogs">
<div class="brand-page-featured-news-article">
<div class="brand-page-featured-news-article-image" style="background-image: url({{ image_src }})">
<div class="brand-page-featured-news-article-image-contain">
<div class="brand-page-featured-news-article-image-overlay">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="brand-page-featured-news-article-contain">
<h6 class="brand-page-featured-news-article-title">{{ article.title }}</h6>
<div class="brand-page-featured-news-article-content">
<p class="brand-page-featured-news-article-published">{{ article.published_at | date: "%d %B 20%y" }}</p>
<p class="brand-page-featured-news-article-text">{{ article.content }}</p>
<div class="brand-page-featured-news-article-button">
<div class="brand-page-featured-news-article-button-text">

{% schema %}

This is the line in question:
{% if article.tags == section.settings.brand-news-tag | strip_html %}
I have tried to use a few other variations like without the '| strip_html'. I have tried to put it inside quotes like this {% if article.tags == "'" and section.settings.brand-news-tag and "'" %}. I have also tried to use 'contains' opposed to an '=='.
How can I use a variable within the if statement?
I have tried using -
{% if article.tags contains section.settings.brand-news-tag %}
I have also tried without any if statement narrowing down the blogs.news. this works as expected. Meaning it is something to do with this if statement not comparing to the blog tags. Although I have directly copied the blog tag in from the blog post to go into the variable within the section.
This also doesn't work -
{% for article in blogs.news.articles limit:1 %}
{% if section.settings.brand-news-tag != '' %}
{% assign blogfilter = section.settings.brand-news-tag | strip %}
{% endif %}
{% if article.tags contains blogfilter %}
This also doesn't work (Goodfellow is the tag copied) -
{% for article in blogs.news.articles limit:1 %}
{% if article.tags contains 'Goodfellow' %}
Here are some images of the blog side of things:
If you look at the article object in Shopify documentation then article.tags return an array. So an array cannot be compared with a string using == equals operator. You are looking for contains as explained in the logical and comparison operators documentation.
So your code will become
{% if article.tags contains section.settings.brand-news-tag %}
Moreover, you don't need strip_html as the field type is text. So Shopify will take care of it. You can use strip filter to remove any space and tabs from the start and end of string just to be extra sure.
String Filters
For your particular scenario, you don't need the limit: 1 inside for loop because you don't know that first object will contain the tag. So you need to iterate over all the objects and break out of loop if condition is satisfied. Sample code
{% for article in blogs.news.articles %}
{% if article.tags contains 'Goodfellow' %}
{{article.tags}}
{% break %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
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 %}

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!
I am looking to create clickable images, like clickable tabs on the blogs.liquid page that filters the page into relevant blogs categories/posts. Currently, the code below just lists the tags and filters correctly.
I have tried to assign an image to each category and while it shows, it is not clickable and therefore does not filter. My hope is to just have the image be clickable and then hide the text.
<ul>
{% for tag in blog.all_tags %}
{% if current_tags contains tag %}
<li class="{{ tag | handleize }} current">{{ tag | link_to_tag: tag }} - current tag</li>
{% else %}
<li class="{{ tag | handleize }}">{{ tag | link_to_tag: tag }}</li>
{% if tag == 'cat1' %}
<img src="#1">
{% endif %}
{% if tag == 'cat2' %}
<img src="#2">
{% endif %}
{% if tag == 'cat3' %}
<img src="#3">
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
If any of you have any suggestions that will work on the Shopify platform I would be really grateful as I still haven't managed to work it out. I am using the Supply theme in case this is helpful.
Thanks.
Silly me, if you just use the URL link that it triggers there is no need for liquid at all... e.g just link the a normal:
<a href="www.randomsite.com/blogs/education/cat1">
It will achieve the same thing.
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 am trying to create a navigation bar in the sidebar dynamically. I used the following code:
<ul>{% for collection in collections %}
{%if collection.title != 'Frontpage' %}
<li class="abcdef"><span class="heading">{{ collection.title | link_to: collection.url }}</span></li>
<ul>
{% for tag in collection.tags %}
<li> {{ tag }} </li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</ul>
It was working fine for me but with one exception that my tags must not include spaces. But I have some tags with images. Can you guys, tell me how to do that so, that i can even include space without any interuption?
I think you want to be using the link_to_tag filter.
See: Link To Tag on the Shopify Wiki. In your situation, a solution could be:
{% for tag in collection.tags %}
<li> {{ tag }} </li>
{% endfor %}
