Dawn 2.0 Multi-Column: How to create a hyperlink column

[EverythingBoati]

Hi All,

I hope someone can figure this one out for me. I am trying to make the multi-column columns clickable link instead of using the "link label", which appear at the bottom of each column with an arrow, I managed to get rid of the arrow by deleting the "Icon-arrow" script but leaving the file in place, I then tried another code to create the hyperlink connection, but that code disabled the padding functionality and made everything looked squished together. If you need more information, please drop me a message.

Thank You in advance

Hi ExpertRookie,

Thank you so much. This code works perfectly, allowing all the functionality of the original code but also adding the hyperlink to the column.

Your time and effort are much appreciated.

@EverythingBoati You are welcome

Hi hope you are well

i used the above as i also was looking to have my multicolumn link to a page! this part has worked perfectly, but i am unable to change the colour scheme. Is there an easy fix for this now?
