shop near commented on Google Base Feeds For Shopify

shop near — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:16:38 +0000

I’ve got the feed working, except no products are showing up in it. My apologies if it’s something obvious as I’m a newbie, and thanks in advance for any help. My theme.liquid:

{% case page.handle %}{% when “rss” %}<?xml version=”1.0” encoding=”utf-8”?>
<rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>{{ shop.name }}</title> <link>{{ shop.url }}</link> <description>All of Shop Near’s Products</description> <language>en-us</language> <copyright>Copyright {{ “now” | date: ”%Y” }} {{ shop.name }}</copyright> {% for product in collections.all.products %}<item> <title>{{ product.title }}</title> <link>{{ shop.url }}{{ product.url }}</link> <description>{% for image in product.images limit: 1 %} <img src=”{{ image | product_img_url: ‘medium’ }}” alt=”{{ product.title }}” />{% endfor %} <a href=”{{ shop.url }}{{ product.url }}”> {{ product.title }}</a> {{ product.price_min | money }}{% if product.price_varies %} – {{ product.price_max | money }}{% endif %} {{ product.description | strip_html | truncate: 300 }}</description> </item> {% endfor %}</channel>
</rss>{% else %}

Collection (s) Content on the FrontPage by dickthehippy

dickthehippy — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 16:39:00 +0000

Hi,

I’m looking to create a frontpage that features the content from a collection – looping out all products, perhaps as a vertical list. Is this possible?

As help would be much appreciated …

Thanks

Dick

Fredenslund commented on Fresh label -> showing if a product is within a collection

Fredenslund — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 14:12:16 +0000

I’m going for an other approach – tags, even we are using them for related products. Seen in this post:
http://forums.shopify.com/categories/2/posts/20159

{% for mytag in product.tags %}
  {% if mytag == 'label-2008' %}
    <img src="{{ 'a_fresh-product.gif' | asset_url }}" alt="Nyt produkt" class="gallery-fresh-product-big" />
   {% endif %}
{% endfor %}


Works fine :-)



Fresh label -> showing if a product is within a collection by Fredenslund
Fredenslund — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 10:31:37 +0000
I wan’t to show a label if a product is within a collection, in this case a 2008 it works great on frontpage, product page and the first page of of a collection but not page 2, 3 ect. i think it have some thing to do with pagination but can’t figure it out


{% capture thisthing %}{{product.handle}}{% endcapture %}
  {% for product in collections.maileg-collection-2008.products %}    
    {% if product.handle == thisthing %}
       <img src="{{ 'a_fresh-product.gif' | asset_url }}" alt="Nyt produkt" class="gallery-fresh-product" />
      {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}


	If the poduct is within the collection “maileg-collection-2008 the product picture shows up with a ´08 label above ( se image )


	Product page 1 : http://designerleg.dk/collections/maileg-produkoversigt
Product page 2 : http://designerleg.dk/collections/maileg-produkoversigt?page=2


	Hope to get a little help on this :-)

When you upload your images to Shopify, the aspect ratio is respected in the creation of the various size ‘derivatives’ (i.e. thumbnails). Unless you apply a width and height yourself, in your theme, they should not be smashed.


images are imported in several resolutions

	What do you mean by this?


Smashed images by Spencer
Spencer — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 20:06:25 +0000
Some of my thumbnails appear smashed due to the fact that the images are imported in several resolutions. Is it in any way possible to make an image display one way if height>width, and another way if width>height? Is it possible to get dimensions of an image and save it as variables? I appreciate it. :)


	If this isn’t possible, what is a good solution to the problem?


	Spencer

Big thanks to both Caroline and Christina for this – works a treat!

duck or goose is {{ current_tags.first }}


	Use that Tag in your title, when appropriate to do so! In other words, make sure the variable is defined…


	(And you can thank Christina who has documented in the forums this undocumented variable…)


Unique titles for pages - help please by jonathanbriggs
jonathanbriggs — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:13:24 +0000
Google Webmaster tools indicates that I have multiple pages with the same <title></title> title tags; a less than optimum situation for SEO.


	This occurs because the tags associated with an item each produce a different page. For example I have a collection of Foie Gras called /foie-gras that can be subdivided by tag into /foie-gras/duck and /foie-gras/goose.


	The page_title variable returns the “Foie Gras” of the collection but not the “Duck Foie Gras” and “Goose Foie Gras” that I need to make the titles unique.


	Is there another variable that I can use. I have looked through the Wiki but not spotted one.


	Here are two pages that illustrate my problem.


	http://www.marketquarter.com/collections/foie-gras/duck
http://www.marketquarter.com/collections/foie-gras/goose


	Thanks for any advice


	Jonathan

That’s good stuff!


	If I knew how to make a new section on the wiki for code snippets (It needs to be there) then I would add this and several others I have used and collected. That and there is no section for operators on the wiki at all.

capture works like assign, but is often more powerful, because you can generate a user variable based on liquid output + basic strings, etc.


	And this is very handy, by the way. Thanks Oliver!

Oliver, good stuff!!


	I see the capture class in the liquid documentation but there is no explanation as to what it does or how it functions. Can you elaborate on that?

Well – I did not realise there was a “contains” operator. makes things a lot more simple. here is the updated code.


{% assign typeList = ',' %}
{% for product in collections['collectionName'].all_products %}
     {% capture compareType %},{{product.type}},{% endcapture %}
        {% if typeList contains compareType %}{% else %}
               <li>{{ product.type | link_to_type }}</li>
               {% capture tempList %}{{typeList}}{{product.type}},{% endcapture %}
               {% assign typeList = tempList %}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Oh super.  Thanks Caroline, I will try that!

You should check out this stickied post most answers to common questions will be found there.


	All the code you are asking about in your posts is in the theme.liquid template’s html, and should be self explanatory once you start poking around in those templates. If you have not already I would download Vision so you can play around with the code in a more editor friendly environment than working online.

Your image is too large. I don’t think it can be over about 760px wide to keep it from breaking the containing element.


	The words are in you header because you need to remove them in the theme.liquid template’s html.


    <!-- begin div.header -->
    <div id="header">
      <div id="title">
        <h1><a href="/"></a></h1>

        <h2></h2>
        <div id="description"></div>

        <p class="underline"><a href="" title=""></a></p>

      </div>
    </div>
    <!-- /end div.header -->

	Comment out the title element and you should be good to go. Or you could add some css for #title and set it to display:none;
