Prestige theme : subcollections on different pages, not menu

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Issue: In Shopify’s Prestige theme, the author wants each collection to lead to its own page showing that collection’s subcollections. After duplicating collection templates (A and B), customizing subcollections on one page causes changes to appear elsewhere, suggesting settings are shared unexpectedly.

Key need: Display subcollections per collection page without relying on the main menu, and keep pages independent.

Proposed solution: Create a new snippet/template (subcollection.liquid) that:

  • Uses the current collection handle (collection.handle) to find a matching navigation list (linklists[collection_handle].links).
  • Loops through those links to derive each subcollection handle from the link title, then outputs the subcollection image, title, and link.
  • Add/render this snippet inside the main collection section: {% render ‘subcollection’ %}.

Implication: For each collection, set up a navigation list named exactly as the collection handle and populate it with links to its subcollections so the snippet can pull and display them.

Status: A concrete code snippet and integration step were provided. No confirmation yet that it resolves the shared-settings behavior; discussion appears ongoing. Code snippet is central to understanding the fix.

Hi everyone,

I’m stuck here : I’m trying to create new pages where I can show subcollections.

In fact, the different collections are on the home page, but when you click on one, I want to land on a different page that show the subcollections.

I use the Prestige theme, and I don’t think they have that kind of option…

So I tried to create new templates for collection page by copy the code. The new template is indeed created, so I create the new page with the new collection page template, I create the new menu in navigation. Until then everything is fine…

The problem is, and I don’t understand why (i’m not a coder…) :

Now there is page collection A (with template A), and page collection B (with template B).

When I want to personalize the theme and change the different subcollections on page collection B, the subcollection of page collection B changes also !

What can I do ?

Is it something to change in the code ?

Hii Havaapoint

Please create template (subcollection.liquid) and added this code

{%- comment -%} COLLECTION HEADER {%- endcomment -%}
{%- assign collection_handle = collection.handle -%}
{%- assign subs = linklists[collection_handle].links -%}
{% if subs != blank %}

{% for sub in subs %} {% assign subitem_handle = sub.title | handle %}
{% if collections[subitem_handle].image %} {% else %}
{{ 'collection-1' | placeholder_svg_tag }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

and render this code on main-collection section like this

{% render ‘subcollection’ %}
