Splitting Collection Description- Dawn Theme 13.1

Store Design
1

I have a lot of text on my collection pages. I want to be able to split it so the top part would have the collection name

and links to the related collections. Detailed description of the collection goes under the product grid.

Is it possible to do that ?

Hello @surewaydm

Welcome to Shopify Community.

This is a custom requirement needs code editing. I would recommend you to seek help of a developer at reasonable cost.

Thanks

I have done something similar with the product description by splitting the description into short and long description. I was hoping to do the same with the collection section!
Or use metafields.

Yes, it can be done via metafield. If you are good with it.

Then

  1. Add a custom-liquid section on the collection page and add ‘{{
    collection.title }}’ code in it.
  2. Similarly add another custom-liquid and add ‘{{ collection.description
    }}’ code in it.
  3. For related collections, create a collection metafield of type
    ‘Collection list’ and configure it with collections page.

I found an easier solution by using the split filter to get the first part of the description. Then I added custom liquid section to get the second part of the content. As for the subcategories, I used css to get the buttons.

The problem with metafields is that I cannot format it.

Hello.

Fellow Shopify Store Operator here. I’m switching from the Debut Theme to the Dawn Theme. My collections pages were split with information above and beneath the products. Will you please share exactly how you were able to do that? I’m not sure about the split filter or the custom liquid section. My collection pages do not have subcategories.

Thanks in advance.
