Collection

Due to restrictions with Shopify Collections, in order to customise the look and feel for each Collection we match a Product to the Collection (what we refer to as a Collection Product) and use the Collection Product attributes to customise the look and feel of the Collection.

Make Collection ‘Not for Sale’

You can prevent all items within a collection from being for sale by creating a metafield for the collection with the following attributes:

  • namesapce: shop
  • key: not_for_sale
  • value: true

To make the items within the Collection for sale, just delete the metafield.

To update, remove or add a new Collection to the Listings page, once the Collection has been created go to Navigation and then edit the Collections link list.

Collection Page

The look and feel of a Collection on the Collection Page page is done via the Collection Product.

The layout is determined by the template and can be set to one of the following: + collection: Only Products + collection.split: Split view: Campaign and Products + collection.all: Special layout used for the Shop Page showing only Products

Images can be sized and placed by setting the final string in the alt tag (after campaign-n) to x+y where x is the number of columns wide the image should be, and y is the number of columns to offset from the left. e.g. campaign-1 8+2

Images are set to fill the entire width of the columns they are placed in.

e.g. campaign-1-feature 11+1 will span 11 grid withs and be offset by 1 grid width.
