Creating additional page.details templates

Using the Page.details Template 

In the ArtiStick theme, there is a page.details template that can be used to create an internal page that is completely configured with content blocks in the Theme Editor (which are similar to homepage sections). All of the content blocks in the page.details template can be re-ordered in the theme editor as well, so you have lots of control over the page layout and what's included!

The page.details template is commonly used as an 'About Us' or 'Our Story' page as the content blocks give you various options to include and share details about your brand, shop and products in creative layouts.

In order to use the 'page.details' template, the theme will need to be published! The templates from which you can select are limited to the templates available in your currently published theme.

If you are unable to currently publish your theme and would still like to set up the ‘page.details’ template, we have instructions on how to access unpublished templates here.

Once your theme is published, when adding a Page in your Shopify Admin (Online Store > Pages), the page.details template is named page.details and can be selected under Template > Template Suffix:

Since all of the actual page content will be configured with content blocks in the Theme Editor, you can leave the content field in the page admin area blank!

Once you've created your page in the Admin, you can head into the Theme Editor (Customize) > Select your page from the drop-down page selector (or if you've added the page to your Navigation, you can click the link to the page there!) Your theme editor on the left will then update with the page settings.

Available content blocks

All of your page content gets configured with content blocks that are similar to homepage sections. To add a content block, in the theme editor simply click 'Add Content' and start adding blocks!

The available content blocks are:

Creating additional page.details templates

By default, any page that is using the page.details template will contain the same content. In order to have unique content on different page.details pages, you will need to duplicate the template.

Note: If you're looking to create a high number (10+) of custom pages with unique features/content-blocks on each, we advise seeking a customized solution from one of our recommended Shopify Experts, with whom you can discuss your custom page requirements and consider the use of Shopify's Metafield implementation for this level of unique customization. An excessive number of additional custom page.details templates will result in difficulties using the Customize settings editor.

In order to duplicate the page.details template, you'll need to edit the theme's code. If you are unfamiliar with making changes to code and need further assistance, we have a list of recommended Shopify Experts who can lend a hand!

Step 1: Head into Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit Code.

Step 2: Under Templates click Add a new template.

Step 3: Make this new template of the 'page' variety, call it 'details-2' and then click 'Create template'

Important: You must start the name you enter here with the word "details" in order for all features to work. For example, entering "details-2" (which becomes "page.details-2.liquid") or "details-about-page" (which becomes "page.details-about-page.liquid") will work, but "about-page" (which becomes "page.about-page.liquid") will not. 

Edit the template code

Step 4: Remove all the code that is in the file you just created and replace it with this code: 

{% comment %}

  The contents of the page.details-2.liquid template can be found in /sections/page-details__main-2.liquid

{% endcomment %}

{% section 'page-details__main-2' %}

Step 5: Save your template!

Step 6: Under Section click Add a new section.

Step 7: Call this new section 'page-details__main-2' and click 'Create section'

Step 8: Copy all the code from the page-details__main.liquid file into the new page-details__main-2.liquid file.

Step 9: Save your section!

Need even more pages?

This process can be repeated if you need still more different page content for different pages by creating more templates and sections and following the naming conventions as the above instruction, such as:

Template: page.details-3.liquid

Section: page-details__main-3.liquid

...and so on
