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 %}

I'm new to Shopify and Liquid. I know that you can't nest a liquid tag within another liquid tag ie:
{% something {{ something_else }} %}
I was wondering if there is a workaround for this kind of scenario? Possibly involving 'capture' or clever use of 'raw'?
I'm building a site that uses product tags to denote which chocolates go in which products (collection of chocolates). On the product page I can easily return the tags as a list:
<ul class="chocolates-menu">
{% for tag in product.tags %}
<li>{{ tag }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
However, I'd like to render snippets with file names to match the names of the tags (these will contain an image, chocolate name and chocolate description) ie:
<li>{% render '{{ tag }}' %}</li>
The closest I've got is:
{% for tag in product.tags %}
{% capture chocolate_tag %}
{% raw %}{% render{% endraw %} {% raw %}'{% endraw %}{{ tag }}{% raw %}' %}{% endraw %}
{% endcapture %}
<li>{{ chocolate_tag }}</li>
{% endfor %}
This will output the correct code but as text on the page (rather than parsing it). ie: {% render 'Tag Name Here' %} simply as the text of the list item. Any help from brighter folk, is much appreciated. Thanks.
I would suggest creating a snippet for all your chocolates and using the tag as a variable to output what is needed.
Here is a visual representation of what I mean and is kinda clearer from your discussion with #Fabio Filippi
snippets/chocolate.liquid
{% assign tag_image = tag | append: '.png' %}
{% case tag %}
{% when 'diet' %}
<img src="{{ tag_image | file_img_url: '100x' }}" class="responsive" />
{% when 'dark' %}
<div>My dark chocolate HTML</div>
{% when 'white' %}
<div>My white chocolate HTML</div>
{% endcase %}
and how to use:
{% render 'chocolate', tag: tag %}
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.

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">

Add default products to help with onboarding for collections/all only.

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 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.
More info here: https://help.shopify.com/themes/liquid/objects/current-tags
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.
Django template system lets you easily specify a template and fill it with different data using extends and blocks.
What I need to do is to have several templates, filled with the same data (blocks) while avoiding code repetition. It sounds like a usecase for templatetags but consider this example:
<div class="container">
{% get_tags page as tags %}
{% if tags %}
<div class="ribbon">
<span class="ribbon-inner">{{ tags|join:' | ' }}</span>
</div>
{% endif %}
</div>
If I wanted to display the tags in another template using a different html elements/classes I would have to create at least two templatetags (has_tags and get_tags) or include html in templatetags code.
I'd like to have something like this:
#common.html
{% block tags %}
{% get_tags page as tags %}
{% if tags %}
<div class="ribbon">
<span class="ribbon-inner">{{ tags|join:' | ' }}</span>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
#template_A.html
{% include common.html %}
<div class="container-1">
{% block tags %}
{{ block.super }}
{% endblock %}
</div>
#template_B.html
{% include common.html %}
{% block tags %}
{% get_tags page as tags %}
{{ tags|join:', ' }}
{% endblock %}
The problem is that include renders the template first, therefore it doesn't work this way. There are a lot of similar points in the file I'm editing, so creating and including template for each of them is not a great solution either.
Any thoughts?
Well, this is my solution:
#templateA.html
{% include "_common.html" with parent_file="_templateA.html" %}
#templateB.html
{% include "_common.html" with parent_file="_templateB.html" %}
#_templateA.html
<i>{% block tags %}{% endblock %}</i>
#_templateB.html
<b>{% block tags %}{{ tags|join:' & ' }}{% endblock %}</b>
#_common.html
{% extends parent_file %}
{% block tags %}
{% if not block.super %} # this does the trick
{{ tags|join:' I ' }}
{% else %}
{{ block.super }}
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
This allows having HTML templates in _templateA.html and _templateB.html. If the block is left empty, it is filled with default from _common.html, while it can be overriden in _template.
It would be nice to override the block tag to avoid code repetition in _common.html but the following implementation fails on block.super() because of missing context.
#register.tag('overridable_block')
def overridable_block(parser, token):
from django.template.loader_tags import do_block
block = do_block(parser, token)
if block.super():
return block.parent
return block
Haven't found a way past this yet.
