Content

Tackle has sections for guides, field reports, store details, brand pages and questions and answers. Each section needs content from the Shopify admin or the theme editor. Empty sections show nothing to shoppers.

Journal guides linked to products

A guide is an article in a blog. You can link a guide to products in two ways.

Use the custom.products article metafield to list the products that a guide covers. See Metafields.

When the article has products, the article page shows an In this guide grid of those products. The article template includes the Article products section for this grid.

  1. Open the article template in the theme editor. Use article.json.
  2. Check that the Article products section is below the article. Set Heading (default "In this guide").
  3. Article cards in blog lists show the count "N products" when the article has linked products.

Show guides on a product page

Use one of these sources in the Guides block on the product page. The block heading is "From the journal".

  1. Set the custom.guides product metafield to a list of articles. The block shows these articles first.
  2. If the metafield is empty, the block shows articles from the Fallback blog that are tagged with the product handle.
  3. Set Maximum guides (default 4).

The block shows nothing when neither source has articles.

Journal feature

The Journal feature section shows one lead article and up to four more from a blog.

  1. Add the Journal feature section to the home page.
  2. Choose the Blog.
  3. Turn on Show numbering to show a number on each article. The number counts down from the number of articles in the blog. The default is on.
  4. Turn on Show reading time to show an estimate, based on 200 words per minute. The default is on.

Each article that has linked products in custom.products shows the count in its meta line, for example "3 products".

Field report

The field report is a dated list of conditions, for example a fishing report or trail conditions.

  1. Add the Field report section to a page. Tackle has no template for it, so you add it to a page that supports sections.
  2. Set Heading (default "Field report") and Report date (default "November 2026").
  3. Add an Entry block for each report. Set Place, Date, Conditions, What worked and an optional Collection link.

Entries show in the order you set in the theme editor. Put the newest entry first.

Store locator and opening hours

The store locator lists up to 20 stores. The page template is page.stores.json.

  1. Add the Store locator section to a page that uses the stores template, or to any page that supports sections.
  2. Set Heading (default "Visit a store").
  3. Add a Store block for each shop. Each block has: - Store name, Address, Phone, Email - Map link: a link to a map. Tackle does not embed a map. - Photo - Services, for example "Pickup, fishing advice" - Time zone offset, for example +01:00 - Hours for each day, in the form 09:00-18:00. Leave a day blank when the store is closed.

The store shows "Open now, closes {time}" or "Closed, opens {day} {time}". The status uses the store time zone offset and the shopper's clock. Tackle does not load third-party scripts for the store locator.

Brand index and brand pages

The brand index lists brands from A to Z.

  1. Create a page with the brand index template. The template is page.brands.json.
  2. Add or keep the Brand index section. Set Heading (default "Brands").
  3. Optional: set Brand menu to a menu of brand links. When the menu is blank, the brands come from the product vendors.

Each brand can have a logo and a story.

  1. Open the brand collection.
  2. Set the collection metafields custom.brand_logo (file) and custom.brand_story (rich text). See Metafields.
  3. Assign the brand collection template, collection.brand.json, to the collection.

The brand template shows the brand header with the logo, title and story, and then the product grid.

FAQ with collapsible content

Use the Collapsible content section for questions and answers.

  1. Add the Collapsible content section to a page, for example a page called "FAQ".
  2. Set Heading (default "Frequently asked questions").
  3. Add a Question and answer block for each item. Set Question and Answer. The answer is rich text.
  4. Turn on Add FAQ structured data to add FAQ data for search engines. It is off by default. Search engines decide whether to show it.

Tackle has a FAQ page template, named faq. Create the page, then choose the faq template in the page's template setting.
