NEW Tutorial 2022! SHOPIFY's NEW OS Store 2.0 allows you to create custom pages of content without having to code( click here to see the new method for custom pages of collections on Shopify's  Free DAWN theme)

This customization of the Shopify Debut Theme allows you to add custom content on a page using the sections feature.

Custom Page Template Shopify Debut Theme

Make a Duplicate copy of your theme before beginning. Don't forget to sign up for my newsletter for the latest tips on traffic generation, Shopify integration and updates.

Below are the code blocks need for this theme customization seen in the video:

 

Page Template Code

 

page.my-custom-collections.liquid 

Copy the one line of blue code and paste into your new page template.

{% section 'my-custom-collections' %}

 

Section Code

 Note I have made a code change to this section so it now a Static instead of a Dynamic Section. This means it will only show on your custom page and not on the home page. 

my-custom-collections.liquid

 Custom Section Template using Shopify Debut Theme

Add the Following Code to the new section, but note every custom page needs it own section with a unique name in the schema. Note the section of code in Green within the blue code.

"name": "My Custom Page"

Copy the Blue code from <div class="page-width"> to the {% endschema %}.

<div class="page-width">

Hi, this works fine. However how do you link the respective collections to the subset subset of collections? This coding only shows up as images but cant really go into the specific collections.

Hi

Great video. Works a treat.

I’m hoping though, and there is s coffee in this for you naturally if you could shed some light on how to add the Image with text.

I’ve managed to use your technique and copy the featured row but that only allows one.

I know about blocks but can’t seem to figure out how to connect the two.

However if i could find the section on debut that has the Image with text i could just copy that but I’m sure it’s not been made available.

Any help greatly received.

Cheers

Paddy
