Theme Customization

There 2 ways customize theme:

    You need go to Shopify admin -> Online Stores -> Themes and click Edit HTML/CSS

How add custom css file?

Difficult customization of theme requires style changes in css. Theme has main assets/style.css file. You can directly add own changes in that file, but it is bad for updates. It is easy in future simply replace old style.css with new style.css.

That is why we propose create own custom.css file and write changes in it.

Steps how create custom.css:

  1. Goto Shopify admin -> Online Stores -> Themes -> Choose your theme -> Edit html/css


  2. Click Assets -> Add a new asset -> Create a blank file -> Write 'Custom' -> Choose '.css' -> Click 'Add Asset'


  3. Click custom.css -> Add a new css changes -> Save


  4. Last step is adding custom.css in head.liquid

    Click Snippets -> Click head.liquid -> write {{ 'custom.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }} after {{ 'font-icomoon.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }} -> Save

Simple Menu

This material is taken from official sources https://help.shopify.com/manual/sell-online/online-store/menus-and-links#create-a-drop-down-menu

This type of menu in Seiko by default.

Create a drop-down menu

A drop-down menu displays a list of links when Your customer hovers their mouse over it.


  1. From Your Shopify admin, click Online Store, and then click Navigation.

    The navigation page of most new stores has both a Main Menu menu and a Footer menu. You can make drop-down menus on Your storefront from any link in the Main Menu.

  2. Click Add menu.

  3. Type in the name for Your navigation. The handle will be automatically generated for You (do not edit it):


    For this walkthrough to work, the name You enter MUST be the same as the name of the link in Your Main Menu that You wish to drop-down from. Because we want to drop-down from Catalog, we will name our menu "Catalog".

  4. Click Add menu item one time for each link You want to include in Your drop-down menu.

  5. For each link You've clicked to add, type in a Name, then click Link drop-down box and choose Your destinations for these links (e.g. You can link to specific collections, all products, or pages etc.)

  6. Click Save

  7. To check Your work, click back into the Navigation page of Your admin. You should have a new menu with the same name as one of the Main Menu links, like this:

  8. You can check Your work in Your storefront

Megamenu

You can set megamenu only for 1st level navigation items in Your top navigation.

Goto Shopify admin -> Online Stores -> Themes -> Customize Theme -> Megamenu


There You find such options Enable dark overlay on hover and Appearing style (none, fade, slide)

By default all 1st level items in navigation have simple type of dropdowns.


How convert Simple dropdowns to Megamenu dropdowns?

It is very easy. You just need set Apply Megamenu Dropdown for needed 1st level item.

Goto Shopify admin -> Online Stores -> Themes -> Customize Theme -> Megamenu

You see next:


Our simple menu contains 1st level items: 1st Layouts, 2nd Women, 3rd Men etc

If You want to do for Women Megamenu - You just have to set Apply Megamenu Dropdown - checkbox Yes for Item 2nd


Every Megamenu item has 9 options:

  • Apply Megamenu Dropdown - type checkbox. This option apply that this item will have megamenu behavior
  • Assign menu handles, sepparated by comma - type textarea. Every column in megamenu dropdown is separated navigation. Write here menu-handles.
  • Columns in one row - type selectbox. Here You can choose 2/3/4/5/6 columns visible in one row
  • Top Html Container - type textarea. Here You can write any html content You want see in the Top of Megamenu dropdown in current item.

See video guide megamenu dropdown creation

Set Megamenu Images & Limits & Video

In our demo You can see preview links in topnavigation


Goto Shopify admin -> Online Stores -> Themes -> Customize Theme -> Megamenu -> Assign menu handles, sepparated by comma


Here we see menu handles, separated by comma

Such code use only for columns with menu items : menuhandle, menuhandle, menuhandle (by default)

Such code use only for columns limited 5 visible items : menuhandle|5, menuhandle|5, menuhandle|5

Such code use only for columns with images : menuhandle||path_to_image, menuhandle||path_to_image, menuhandle||path_to_image

Such code use only for columns limited & images : menuhandle|5|path_to_image, menuhandle|5|path_to_image, menuhandle|5|path_to_image

path_to_image - any image path, easy way upload preview in admin/settings/files (max recommended width 500px)


Example code for Video like in demo

Next Code you can insert in any megamenu html area (left / right / top / bottom)

Hover video to play it

If you want hide video in mobile use class 'hidden-xs'


                    

Set Navigation Labels

In our demo You can see labels in topnavigation


Goto Shopify admin -> Online Stores -> Themes -> Customize Theme -> Megamenu -> Labels for navigation items


As You can see all Labels were filled in one place. We decided that this method is more easy way to keep them.

Important rule separate them with ";"
First part is Navigation item Title:Second part Title of the Label:Third is optional (if You want blue color write alt)

For example, I want red label with discount -50% on Navigation Item 'Sale' - write "Sale:-50%"
For example, I want blue label with discount -50% on Navigation Item 'Sale' - write "Sale:-50%:alt"

Setup sidebar filter

In contrast to our top competitors on TF, we completely redesigned filter.

Early often was principle when you had ~ 5 filter groups of tags hardcoded to the theme : Price, Brands, Popular Tags, Sizes

And the bigest problem was that these filter groups were are same for all categories (Women, Men, Electronics

Now every category has own set Of filter groups.

Women

Electronics

Sidebar filter based on tags. Tags must be assigned for products by your own criterias.


Product has tags:Sim 1, electronics, Andriod, Acer, Above 200, 4

If you click some tag in sidebar filter module searchs all products with clicked tag.

Q:How Sidebar filter collects and distributes all tags from all products by logic groups.

A:You have to do it yourself:

Goto Shopify admin -> Online Stores -> Themes -> Customize Theme -> Collection page

There filter groups:



1 Group Tags Filter It is Group that collects associated within the meaning of the tags

Available options for filter group:

  • Enable - type checkbox. Default checked

Your Shopify store comes with a built-in blogging engine. Blogs are great for content that you’ll be updating regularly. They’re also best if you want to encourage feedback on an article, because people can post comments on your blog posts. Choose to post on your store’s blog if you’re looking to create discussion and build a community around your products and your brand.
