Please use codeblocks when posting things like that rednaxela9546, here is your message with codeblocks applied to it. ```I would like to put my collections (e.g. die hard, rambo, ...) in my library alfabetically between the movies.
I would like to hide the items that are part of that collection.
there are some other collections (like IMDB Top 250, Trakt top, Studio's, ...) I would like to keep only in the collections section, not in the library.
is that possible? how to configure that?
I had configured something like :
`templates:
collection:
optional:
- collection
- movie
tmdb_collection_details: <<collection>>
tmdb_movie: <<movie>>
sort_title: <<collection_name>>
sync_mode: sync
collection_order: alpha
visible_library: true
collection_mode: hide_items
collection_section: "035" ``
but it does not do the trick
in plex advandced library settings, do I need to hide collections or show collections? or does Kometa overwrite that behaviour?
is there a good guide on this topic?```

Look at my config and see if that's what you want. I think I do that...
dapper copper
how do these 2 work together?
if I put visible_library: false
and I put collection_mode: show_items
sharp timber
if I put visible_library: false
and I put collection_mode: show_items
visible_* is relating to the recommended tab
collection_mode is relating to the collections tab, so in the above case, you would be hiding library items that were in collections

thats why the sort title is !035_48 Hrs.
this was driving me nuts! 🙂
I couldnt find out where it was coming from
frigid heron
collection_section: "035" ``
collection_section is specific to the default metadata files; it does nothing outside that context
sort_title: <<collection_name>>
Sets sort title to the name of the collection, so the collection should appear in that location is the colelction tab OR the library [when sorted by title]
collection_order: alpha
Controls sort order of items within the collection
visible_library: true
Make this colelction visible in the library
collection_mode: hide_items
Hide items which are in the colliection doesn't work with smart collections
in plex advandced library settings, do I need to hide collections or show collections? or does Kometa overwrite that behaviour?
Set that to whatever you want as the default behavior, Kometa can override it.
sharp timber
why do you put the `` after it ?
that's an error on the response from the bot. there should not be a `` after
frigid heron
You can change the sort title format with a template variable.
sharp timber
do you have the rest of your file? because what you pasted shows the template setup as sort_title: <<collection_name>>, which should be "Black Panther", but somewhere, something else is adding the collection section in front.
frigid heron
But the template you show above made me think you are creating your own collections. What are you doing?
sharp timber
personally, i am using the default franchise collection, the sort title is literally just the collection name
frigid heron
Are you attempting to modify the defaults, or are you creating your own collections?
dapper copper
I used to have collection_section: "035" in it as well
sharp timber
with this, the "35_" should disappear on your next run
dapper copper
ok
sharp timber
but i will say, just from observation, you pasted one thing, and then your file template was not the same as what you pasted above. As well as you did not tell us that you changed the file after the run with the screenshot
frigid heron
Fees like maybe you're attempting to use the default templates without a full understanding of how they work?
dapper copper
tell me
you mean the default plex collections ?
or the default Kometa templates ?
see my first post : "is there a good guide on the topic?"
it could very well be that I still have A LOT to learn 🙂
ok I think I get it
the example I gave, with the Marvel Collection is already in one of the defaults
frigid heron
Regarding your initial question:
is there a good guide on this topic?
It's not clear to me what the "topic" is. If it's how sorting things works and how you can leverage that in Kometa, I linked you to one.
If you are using collection_section, then you are either creating collections with the defaults [in which case customizing them is covered in the wiki] OR you are leveraging the templates from the defaults [for which there is no documentation]
The templates and screenshots you are providing do not match, so it's not clear what in fact you are doing, so it's hard to provide any meaningful answers.
If the question is how showing and hiding things and collections works, that's also covered in the wiki.
dapper copper
ok... you might be right... let me study a bit on it first
