How do you create an indexing page in Debut theme?

Topic summary

A user seeks to create an indexing page in the Debut theme to display collections or tags with filtering capabilities.

Initial Request:

  • Wants to list collections/filters (like brands or designers) similar to a reference image provided
  • Needs this functionality on a separate page

Solution Provided:

  • Code snippet shared to list all collections using Liquid markup: {%- for collection in collections -%} with collection titles

Evolved Requirements:

  • User clarifies they need tag-based filtering instead, specifically for 200+ designers
  • Each product has one tag identifying its designer
  • Goal: Create a designer index page where clicking a name shows all products with that tag
  • Wants bidirectional navigation: from index to products, and from product pages back to designer listings
  • Prefers avoiding creating 200+ separate collections

Recommended Approach:

  • Collections aren’t necessary; filter functionality is needed instead
  • Suggested solutions: Install a “Filter products by tag” app, hire a developer for custom functionality, or contact the responder directly for development work

Status: Remains open; requires custom development or third-party app implementation.

Hello, this is the first post I make so apologies if its poorly worded or ends up in the wrong section or something. But I was wondering how you could make an indexing page (like in the picture below) for your collections/filters (such as brands or designers) in debut theme.

Hi @Michael_Stromqu , do you want these to be on a separate page?
**This piece of code is gonna list all your collections.


  {%- for collection in collections -%}
    - {{ collection.title }}

Thank you Marina 2 years later!
And what if I was about to do the same thing but for tags? And then refer to pages where I show all these productions with this tag? Preferably not collections, but if its the only option then I can do it. Because I have 200 different..

Hi @Michael_Stromqu would you like to list all products that have some specific tag on a different page?

Yes! All my products just have 1 tag, that is the designer of the item.

So I would like a page where I list all designers, and if you press this designers name it shows all products with this tag.
And also the other way; from the product page you can cick on the designers name and come to a page with all those products.

If possible I would like to avoid to create collections for this, because I have 200+ designers.
Thank you! Kind regards,

Ooooh, now I get it. No need to create collections for each of those, but you will need filter functionality for those.
I can’t give you some quick solution, since this requires some work.

You can always find an app to do this for you, something like “Filter products by tag”, or find a developer do create this functionality for you. If you decide to go with second option, you can contact me (DM).
