Waiting on a fix


There is going to be yet another delay for the Shopify Tutorial from Scratch series, due to an ongoing bug with the list-collections.liquid template which I want to cover in Part 10.

What’s wrong?

The issue right now is that the template that is used for the collections listing page, aka. list-collections.liquid, does not load properly. When you go to your-shop.myshopify.com/collections, it’s supposed to load the contents of list-collections.liquid; but currently it does not.

The only way to have content appear on /collections is by creating a snippet, and then checking for the template handle in theme.liquid as follows:


{% if template == 'list-collections' %}
  {% include 'collection-listing' %}
{% else %}
  {{ content_for_layout }}
{% endif %}

This works but we shouldn’t have to do this. I want to make sure my tutorial doesn’t include any unnecessary workarounds.

The awesome devs at Shopify are aware of the issue and are working on a fix. I really want to publish Part 10: list-collections.liquid tutorial before I move on to customer accounts because it just makes sense from an order point of view.

Apologies again for the postponing :(
