  my_collections_field:
    type: collections

Templating

You’re more than likely using this field as a way to dynamically display a collection.

Since the collection tag accepts a pipe-delimited list of collection names, you can join them together like this:

<ul>
  {{ collection from="{listings|piped}" }}
    <li>{{ title }}</li>
  {{ /collection }}
</ul>

<ul>
  <li>A blog entry</li>
  <li>A thing entry</li>
  <li>etc</li>
</ul>
