Hiding a collection programatically from the Catalog page

[tscanlan]

I want to use an if statement to check if a collection is "Creations" and prevent it from being displayed in the Catalog/store. I want to use this collection as a set of images to display on a custom page (I'll remove the add to cart and price in the template as well). Thank you for any help! I am using the Debut theme. I feel like I am close with if collections.title = "Creations" but I cannot get it to work.

Hi @tscanlan 

Instead of this you can use 

{% if collection.title conatins 'collection name ' %}

  your code here

{% endif %}

If you have again issue with this so you can contact me on skype ( skype id : cid.6072cc42f2bf365c).

Thanks.

Hi @tscanlan 

Aibek is here from Speedimize.io 

You write this wrong, it should be like this:

{% if collection.title == "Creations" %}

code here

{% endif %}

You specified collections in the plural. Plus, when comparing, you must specify ==

I set a product type as "nodisplay" and I used {% if product.type != 'nodisplay' %} to skip over displaying those products in the "Catalog." The products labeled with "nodisplay" do not show up as expected but I am having a problem. The store displays only 7 photos (it would be 8 minus the 1 hidden product) and says "Sorry, there are no products in this collection."  (see image)

I want to remove a collection from the global object with something like: {% collection remove: '/collections/creations' %} but I don't know what that syntax would be

How can I keep this product type from showing up and also stop from breaking the store?

My pieces of code I have bolded to make them easier to find:

<ul class="grid grid--uniform{% if collection.products_count > 0 %} grid--view-items{% endif %}">

{% endif %}

        {% for product in collection.products %}

 {% if product.type != 'nodisplay' %} 

          <li class="grid__item grid__item--{{section.id}} {{ grid_item_width }}">

            {% include 'product-card-grid', max_height: max_height, product: product, show_vendor: section.settings.show_vendor %}

          </li>

        {% else %}

          {% comment %}

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

          The onboarding styles and products are only loaded if the

          store has no products.

          {% endcomment %}

          {% if collection.handle == 'all' and collection.all_vendors.size == 0 and collection.all_types.size == 0 %}

            <li class="grid__item">

              <div class="grid grid--uniform">

                {% for i in (1..limit) %}

                  <div class="grid__item {{ grid_item_width }}">

                    <div class="grid-view-item">

                      <a href="#" class="grid-view-item__link">

                        <div class="grid-view-item__image">

                          {% capture current %}{% cycle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 %}{% endcapture %}

                          {{ 'product-' | append: current | placeholder_svg_tag: 'placeholder-svg' }}

                        </div>

                        <div class="h4 grid-view-item__title">{{ 'homepage.onboarding.product_title' | t }}</div>

                        <div class="grid-view-item__meta">

                          <span class="product-price__price">$19.99</span>

                        </div>

                      </a>

                    </div>

                  </div>

                {% endfor %}

              </div>

            </li>

          {% else %}

            {%- assign is_empty_collection = true -%}

          {% endif %}

        {% endif %}

        {% endfor %}

      </ul>
