Will be great to see the code examples for the Master pages & page sections examples.

I’ve seen that docs already have a content schema examples and frames also, thats nice!

Hi Ottomen,

Nice to hear you’ve been testing out the examples from the docs in your dev store. Once feature functionality is finalized we’ll have more examples available for testing master pages and page sections. I’ll make sure that this forum is notified when these updates are made :slight_smile:

Cheers,

is there any news on that feature? I have been trying to find some examples on how to setup master pages with content-sections, but no luck so far

Hi @campsafari ,

Are you testing out the developer preview with the sections-compatible Debut theme? You can add content sections to the master page of products, as is shown in this example video. This content section will then appear on all product pages that have sections enabled.

Hope this helps,

What is the release date for content sections on any page?

Thanks

Hi @EdwardLaw

We don’t have a full release date for content sections on all pages at the moment, but this will be available to merchants later this year. In the meantime, we have launched sections on the cart, 404, and password pages on developer preview stores.

Hope this helps,

@Liam

Thanks for the update.

When adding content sections will the associated data be attached to the theme or the page?

Regards

Ed

Good question @EdwardLaw .

So when user-generated content is added to a content section (eg: adding text into a text field on a section setting), that text is not stored on the theme, but rather on a store level. Previously content added to sections would be recorded by the theme and stored in the settings_data.json file. With the new section types, this is no longer the case and content is stored on a store level. This makes it easier for content to be ported across to a different theme, when a merchant switches their theme.

Hope this helps!
