How to add collection.liquid to an existing page? - shopify

Question

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 !
