Custom coding using Shogun page builder

[FranziRak]

Hi,

i want to override my collection page in shogun, because i want a complete different look, but i dont know how it works. 

Everytime i was using shogun and selecting collection page builder the collection is coming into it which is not looking like i want.

i also want to use product page builder but in this i want to have my own programmed varinats into shogun but it is not working or i dont know how it works. So i want to have a own designed template for products which i can load to all product pages so i dont need to do every single product page in shogun.

I need help please.

Hello @FranziRak 

Colby here from the Shogun support team!

When you create a collection page in Shogun, Shogun does still use your theme's default collection template but allows you to edit around it to add customizations to the page. Depending on exactly what you are wanting, it may be better to edit your theme template for collection pages or use a different page type as a standard page that is fully customizable, but this does depend on the design you are looking for. 

For adding your own programmed variants onto Shogun Product pages, if you have the code for it, you can add it to any Shogun pages using either our HTML or Custom elements as seen in this article here: https://getshogun.com/help/en/articles/1392108-shogun-is-missing-a-feature-i-need-what-now

If you do have questions on what is possible while using Shogun, please feel free to reach out to our 24/7 support team at support@getshogun.com and we will be happy to help with any questions you have!

hi @Colby_W  thanks for your answer, so if i am using another page i will not have the right link in the header, like rakao.de/collection/... it will be there rakao.de/pages, i think this is not good because of analytics and data based google missions right? so is there any possibility if not for collection for product site to include all my customized forms of variants? so i will also have it into shogun?

Hi @FranziRak 

You are correct that building the page as a different page type would cause the page's URL to not include the /collection/ part of the URL address. If this does affect your analytic system, then I under the concern although there is not a workaround for this. Currently, it is not possible for the collection page to not include the theme template's product display while using Shogun, but other types of pages like Product or Standard pages can be created from scratch and be fully customized.
