I would like to display a certain breadcrumb only if the user is on the /collections/all page but am having trouble with which code I use to check that I am on that page. I tried collection.title and collection.handle and collection.url == all and it didn't seem to work. What code can I use?
I figured this out. To create specific breadcrumb code for the /collections/all page, I used:
{% if collection.handle == "all" %}
all products
{% endif %}
(there is other code that creates home >> etc.)

I have a number of different collection templates. They differ in the filters that they contain. Some have three filter dropdowns, some only have one.
I would like to display different templates based on the collection type (handle). I know that you can manually change template in the admin, but I want to handle this programmatically within Liquid so the client doesn't have to worry about toggling alternate templates.
I have had no luck in the documentation or Shopify community forums.
An example of the logic:
If collection.handle = handle-name,
Then use collection template X,
Else default collection template
Grateful for any pointers.
For detailed information you may refer to Shopify documentation on Creating Alternate Templates or a similar blog post on Partners Blog.
These articles suggest creating files with particular collection handle, that can be selected manually. Since you do not want to do that and have specified that only filters change based on different collections, so instead of replacing the whole template you can simply include the different snippet or section based on collection handle.
Example, inside collection.liquid
{% if collection.handle == 'collection-1' %}
{% section 'collection-filters-1' %}
{% elsif collection.handle == 'collection-2' %}
{% section 'collection-filters-2' %}
{% else %}
{% section 'collection-filters-default' %}
{% endif %}
I am on the product info page and would like to know if its possible to get the current collection that the product is in so that i can do some stuff. How can i get the current collection? I have tried collection.title and it doesnt show anything.
In order to get the CURRENT collection, you MUST have the collection handle in your URL.
So for example if the product URL is something like so /collections/COLLECTION_HANDLE/products/PRODUCT_HANDLE you will have access to the current collection.
In your case since you don't have access to the collection title I assume that your URL is just /products/PRODUCT_HANDLE.
This means that you are generating the wrong URL's ( not wrong, but not full ). You must look for product.url in your collection and add the filter within: collection.
So your collection liquid code should look something like this
{% for product in collection.products %}
... SOME OUTPUT ...
Details
{% endfor %}
This will force your product url to include the collection URL as well.
Try it if your URL in this format "/collections/COLLECTION_HANDLE/products/PRODUCT_HANDLE"
Try This:
This product is in the {{ collection.title }} Collection.
Although there might be many collections product assigned but the better way to get the current collection title that is in URL
Note: Using this code you can do stuff on your product page only if collection is in the URL.
{% assign product_collection = collection.title | link_to: product_collection.url %}
{% unless product_collection == blank %}
<h3>Current Collection is: {{ product_collection }}</h3>
{% endunless %}
I am beginner Shopify developer, I have customise collection.liquid page. How to customise breadcrumb show selected collection name?

I'm currently working on a shopify site and need to create a filter on a products page. My goal is to have primer paints show up in a different section of the product collection page. What I'm having trouble with is how to filter for primers. We have a tag set up in the product page named "Primer". What I want is for the loop to check whether a product has the primer tag, and if so, display that as one of the products in the loop. I'm relatively new to Liquid, so I don't know how to combine clauses if that's possible. I've looked up the "Where" clause, but don't entirely understand how it works.
Here is the code as it stands:
<div class="{% if settings.show_collection_sidebar %}desktop-10{% else
%}desktop-12{% endif %} tablet-6 mobile-3" id="bside">
<div id="product-loop">
{% for product in collection.products %}
<div class="product {% if settings.products_per_row == '3' %}
desktop-4{% cycle ' first', '', ' last' %}
{% elsif settings.products_per_row == '4' %}
desktop-3{% cycle ' first', '', '', ' last' %}
{% endif %} tablet-half mobile-half"
id="prod-{{ product.id }}"
data-alpha="{{ product.title }}"
data-price="{{ product.price }}">
{% include 'product-listing' %}
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
How could I filter for the desired results? I've tried {% if product.tags contains 'Primer' %} in quite a few places, but to no avail.
Thanks for your help.
Have you considered using two collections to accomplish what you're after?
If you made a dynamic ("Smart") collection for all your primers (Let's assume the handle for the collection is 'primer'), you can access that collection at any time through Liquid:
{% assign primer_collection = collections['primer'] %}
{% for product in primer_collection.products %}
<h2>HAVE SOME {{ product.title }}!</h2>
{% endfor %}
Then, if you wanted to exclude all of your primer products from the main collection, create a collection named 'all' (or at least with the handle 'all' - the actual title doesn't strictly matter - see footnote). By default, the 'All' collection is, true to its name, every product in your store. However, if you create your own 'all' collection, you can define it to mean "Everything except certain items" - in your case, 'everything but the primer'
Having Shopify pre-filter everything for you through the collections themselves greatly reduces the headaches of trying to apply filters after-the-fact and dealing with misleading item counts, uneven pagination, etc.
Handles: At the bottom of each collection and product in your Shopify admin is the SEO settings. Editing these allows you to change what the handle for the collection/product is, and this is what Shopify uses to look up your collection/product internally
Yet another shopify question. I have a sidebar on shop/collections page
settings.sidebar_categoryblock_linklist
Which shows links to my main collecions: men/woman/kinds ect.
Yet I have another collection list based on product tags:
Winter/Autumn/Casual/Business etc
How do I get to display them on the sidebar? Meaning how can I put several linklists as categories link lists?
Thanks in advance

In a collection page, you have access to all the tags (unique) that the products have. You can use these tags to see if the belong to any collection and then display them. The code is as follows:
{% for tag in collection.all_tags %}
{% assign c_collection = collections[tag] %} // c_collection is used so the current display page's collection doesn't get disturbed
{% if c_collection.title != '' %}
{{ tag | link_to: c_collection.url,c_collection.title }} // not sure about this, but you can use proper html as well here
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
