Line Properties Now Supported
It's great to see Shopify now lets you capture additional properties for products via the new Line Item Properties feature. This allows your customers to specify additional information (such as the monogram text for example) on the product page. We've just updated the Vanity cart page liquid template to support this new feature.
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.

Collection Listing Page
Showing featured collections on the home page has been possible for a long time in Vanity (using theme settings). We've just updated the theme to support the '/collections' page as well. Instead of the default listing, which is a bulleted list, you will now see a gallery of images similar to how products are displayed. Hovering over an image with your mouse will display the collection name and the number of items in the collection.
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").

Search Products Only
Vanity now has a theme setting that allows you to specify that only products get returned in search results. You will find it in a section called "Search". Select the checkbox to show only products, otherwise you will also get page and article content.

Image Alt Tags
Vanity already has comprehensive SEO (Search Engine Optimization) support (being the only Shopify theme that supports the hProduct microformat), and today we expanded that with support for the new alt tags in images feature. Now any alt tags will be used if they are defined, otherwise it will default to the product name.
