Custom collection title in Aurora theme 5-0-2

Store Design
1

Hi Guys,

I was trying the Aurora theme and liking it. The only thing which is not working for me is the Collection names on the Featured collection/ Multiple Collections.

To display the collections - We need to select multiple collections. However, It takes the collection names from the title we have kept. Most of places I have kept title names to easily identify them where different products are to be tagged in different categories but similar collections - Example: Party wear Bracelets / Daily Wear Bracelets. So I have named my collection as same.

I want to display my collection name as Bracelets rather than title. Is it possible to achieve?

Please guide.

Also, I am not sure which images the collections take by default. Is there a way to upload custom images for each collection?

It is definitely possible.
In the Aurora theme, Featured Collections / Multiple Collections usually renders:

{{ collection.title }}

That means whatever collection title that you have in your backend will show on the frontend.

What you should do is leave your collection titles as they are for organizational purpose but create another field specifically for display purposes only.

Example:

Collection Title Backend
Party Wear Bracelets
Daily Wear Bracelets

Collection Title Display (frontend)
Bracelets

It would be easier for you to use collection metafields, instead of
{{ collection.title }}.

You need to modify the card code from within the section template.

You probably have:

{{ card_collection.title }}

Or

{{ collection.title }}

And replace it with:

{{ collection.metafields.custom.display_title }}

Example:

{% if collection.metafields.custom.display_title != blank %}
{{ collection.metafields.custom.display_title }}
{% else %}
{{ collection.title }}
{% endif %}

And finally create a metafield:
Go to the settings → Metafields and metaobjects->selection collection

Hey Swarique!

I can see this might feel a little overwhelming if you’re not familiar with theme code, totally understandable, this kind of customisation trips up a lot of store owners!

The good news is what you’re trying to achieve is very doable. The steps involved are:
Accessing your theme code through the Shopify theme editor, locating the correct section file for your Featured Collections, making the metafield swap that was suggested above, and then setting up the display title metafield for each collection from your Shopify admin.

Each step is straightforward when you know where to look, but if you’d rather have someone handle it cleanly without the risk of accidentally breaking something in your theme, that’s something I can help with directly.

Could I ask, are you using the Aurora theme from the Shopify theme store, and are you on a free or paid plan? That’ll help me understand exactly what access you have so I can point you in the right direction!

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I bought the theme outside shopify and then installed it. Hope I could answer.
