]]>We've also make it easy to set up the properties by including a 'product-properties' snippet in the theme. The snippet has sample code demonstrating how to capture different properties based on product type or tags.
You can also control what collections show up on this page by creating a link list called "Categories". If you don't have the link list set up it will simply use all of your collections (except "frontpage").
As always, if you need any support with the Vanity Theme, please feel free to raise a ticket in our help desk.

Note: the existing functionality of displaying the first image as a thumbnail is still available if you don't wish to use excerpts.
]]>1. On the blog listing page, you can filter articles by tag, as well as jump directly to all articles filed under a specific tag.
2. On the article page, tags as listed (as links) next to the article author and date.
You may have also noticed thumbnail images are being shown in the blog page. This is another theme setting, and when checked Vanity will display a thumbnail sized version of the first image in the blog post. Note: the image must be hosted on Shopify (not an external one).
To capture additional information on the cart page, you can specify a prompt in theme settings. This note is useful if you want to capture delivery instructions or perhaps a message for a gift item. You can read more about this in the Shopify wiki.
If you may want to ensure your customers have read and agree to your terms & conditions before checking out, you can specify an "agreement checkbox" prompt in theme settings. This will add a checkbox to the cart page with your prompt, and if the user does not check the box they will not be able to continue through to checkout page.
]]>Vanity now has an alternate template for collection pages called "collection.sidebar".
This template has the sidebar on the left, and 3 columns for products (instead of 4).
The menu items in the sidebar are automatically created based on the tags used in the collection's products.
To use this layout, go to your collection and select "collection.sidebar" in the Template section.
