A common request is to rename one of the collections, for example rename “Services” to “Courses”.
Edit the collection settings in the _config.yml. Update the collection name and defaults.
# _config.yml
---
....
collections:
services: # change to courses
output: true
permalink: /:collection/:path/
....
defaults:
- scope:
path: ''
type: services # change to courses
values:
layout: service # change to course
....
Rename the collection folder collections/_services to collections/_courses
Update the services page pages/services.md frontmatter.
# pages/services.md
---
layout: list
collection: 'services' # change to courses
title: Services # change to Courses
description: 'We deliver a complete range of digital services.'
permalink: '/services/' # change to /courses/
header_transparent: false
hero:
enabled: false
heading: "Services" # change to Courses
....
Rename the file to pages/services.md to pages/courses.md
Update _layouts/service.html to _layouts/course.html
Edit pages/home.md and update the services featured block to courses.
# pages/home.md
---
---
services: # change to courses
enabled: true
heading: 'Our Services'
sub_heading: ''
limit: 3
sort: 'weight'
view_more_button_enabled: true
view_more_button_text: 'View All Services'
view_more_button_link: '/services' # change to /courses
hide_thumbnail: false
hide_icon: false
hide_description: false
---
Edit _layouts/home.html and update the include that renders the services to render the courses.
Replace all page.services with page.courses
<!-- _layouts/home.html -->
{% if page.courses.enabled %}
<div class="strip strip-base">
<div class="container">
{% include components/grid.html
collection="courses"
heading=page.courses.heading
sub_heading=page.courses.sub_heading
limit=page.courses.limit
sort=page.courses.sort
view_more_button_enabled=page.courses.view_more_button_enabled
view_more_button_text=page.courses.view_more_button_text
view_more_button_link=page.courses.view_more_button_link
hide_thumbnail=page.courses.hide_thumbnail
hide_icon=page.courses.hide_icon
hide_description=page.courses.hide_description
%}
</div>
</div>
{% endif %}
You will need to go through all the new course files and markdown files and update the titles etc to refer to courses instead of services.
