How to customize list of collections?

by sneakyimp - Member - 11:48PM, Apr 16, 2008

I’m trying to customize the page that lists collections (I.E., http://mydomain.com/collections) but I cannot determine which of these files corresponds to that page:

theme.liquid
blog.liquid
cart.liquid
collection.liquid
index.liquid
page.liquid
product.liquid

Also, I tried putting some code in a page that I created but it wasn’t parsed, the code was just printed out. Am I correct in thinking that Page content is not parsed as liquid code?

There isn’t a template for that page, rather a global shopify stylesheet…

http://domain.myshopify.com/global/list_collections.css

You can override this with your own styling though.

Actually, there is a template for this, which we have total control over – except the entrance is through the back door, & I had to machete my way through the bushes to find it.

The template is called “list-collections”, and there are 2 urls that point to it:
http://www.myshop.com/collections
http://www.myshop.com/products

You customize it by entering this code into your theme.liquid template:

{% case template %}
    {% when 'list-collections' %}
        [your html]
    {% else %}
       {{ content_for_layout }}
{% endcase %}

Christina! Bless you. I get the feeling that the only influence I have over the apperance of my collections list is that I can apply CSS styling to the #tag-list UL tag.
