Dawn Theme - Make image banner clickable

[calbowes]

Hi - i've started designing a new shopfront on the Dawn theme and so far it seems to be great.

However, i would like to know if it is possible to add the option of adding a url to the Image Banner section so that it links to your chosen url when clicked?

This is one feature on my old homepage (www.walltowallmusic.co.uk) that i would love to be able to replicate.

Thanks

I have the same problem. I want to do clickable the header banner. I put the code that you have given here. The link sections appear but when i put the link doesnt work. I am trying to click the banner and dont appear the"hand" only the "arrow"

Earlier in the thread I provided both the code and the CSS change here:

https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/dawn-theme-make-image-banner-clickable/m-p/1340320/hi...

On that message I provided the code and the change you need to make to CSS for it to work properly. If you don't make the CSS change it will not function.

Hi,

We've followed the instructions and it works fine on desktop, just not on mobile, even after changing the ' ' to none in the section-image-banner.css

This is the link to the test store we're adding the code to.

are you able to help solve the mobile issue.

Here's also the code from the css

In my honest opinion this should have been an out of the box feature. Along with clickable columns in the multi-column layout.

But I have restructured the schema and added some conditional statements that will make it much easier to make an image banner clickable.

How to install:

• Copy a backup of your image-banner.liquid file just in case.
• Replace all the text in your image-banner.liquid file with what's included here.

What this does:

• This will insert two URL link fields in the vanilla version of your Customize visual theme editor for Dawn. Allowing you to easily select links for your images.
• It will allow for a single or double clickable image layout in the vanilla version.
• To use the blocks versus a clickable image just be sure to leave the link fields blank and the blocks will reappear over the image(s).

Agree with you and thanks for providing the code.

Have you figured out how to make clickable columns in the multi-column layout? I've been looking up everywhere.

[TerraPowders]

I can provide you with a way to make your multi-columns clickable. This is based on the Vanilla Dawn version out of the box.

First backup your multicolumn.liquid then replace it with this:

Click to expand...

{{ 'section-multicolumn.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

Then fix the CSS by adding this to the bottom of section-multicolumn.css

.column-card-link {
  color: inherit;
  text-decoration: none;
}

.column-card-link:hover {
  text-decoration: none;
}

This should provide you with the ability to add links to your columns through your customizable theme editor.

Let me know if you have more questions.

@TerraPowders thanks for the code 🙂

I tried the first set for the clickable banner image(s).

I'm assuming the code copied correctly as I can now see the Paste Link box, if I add links for both images, it renders in desktop but in mobile it's a grey screen.

When I delete the link in the first image but leave the second, both images reappear on mobile, with the second pic linkable?

If I only use one image with a link it renders/works on desktop but shows as a grey box on mobile 😞

On the bright side the clickable multicolumn code works perfectly on both mobile and desktop 🙂 

Thank you!

[TerraPowders]

Did you use the following to adjust the CSS for the clickable image banner?

Fix CSS:

Go to the section-image-banner.css

Change the following (see note)

.banner::after {
  content: none; /* change the '' to none then save */
  position: absolute;
  background: #000000;
  opacity: 0;
  z-index: 1;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

The grey box is usually caused by this bit. Please let me know if you still aren't seeing a fix.

@TerraPowders thanks for responding 🙂

This is what is pasted into my section-image-banner.css.

When both images are added and linked - 

On desktop

Both images render and are clickable

On mobile

Nothing.

When 1st image link is deleted

Desktop

Only second link is clickable

Mobile

Renders both images but only second is clickable.

Hey @BTMR.

Thanks for the details on that. My version of the build is not reproducing this issue. Do you have a preview link I can look at to examine?

Also be sure that the code you are using in the image-banner.liquid is the one from this post:

https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/dawn-theme-make-image-banner-clickable/m-p/1340320/hi...

I know there has been a bit of back and forth over this in the thread, but the code in that perm-linked post is the one with the fix for grey boxes.

Hi there! This works as a great mobile solution on our website (shopsogold.com) but the link isn't working for the image on desktop. Is there a solve to make sure the link works on both versions? Thanks in advance!

Just kidding, read through the full thread and figured out the CSS issue!!

Hi Terra,

I've used your code to make my banner clickable in my Dawn 7.0v but have now updated to the 9.0v and it's not sizing my banner correctly. It's making it really thin. Any suggestions? Thank you 🙂

I have followed your advice several times and the results i get are this....   when you don't set your image to "Adapt section height to first image", your image will not appear.  and once i apply the liquid file and css file mods, i get this on the left hand side....   this brings up a selection list of 3 items.

any ideas?

here is the verbiage of one of the selections...
missing translation: "t:sections.image-banner.settings.desktop_text_box_position.label" is not present in any of the ["en-US", "en"] schema locale files

Hi,

Is there a solution confirmed for this? 

Could someone please send me a step by step guide to change this to clickable?

Thanks

@Personalisedpup 

Yes, you can take a look at it here. Did you try it out? If it doesn't work let me know and i'll help you. 

Kind regards,
Diego

Thanks Diego_ezfy. The code works but it obstructs our mega menu from working properly.  If you select a menu item that is above the banner image it's fine, but if the menu item is one of the dropdown items and it drops over the banner image, when you click the menu item, it takes you to the banner image link.

Hi @diego_ezfy

Thank you for providing this code and a link to your article! Quick question: after making this change I now get the following error when I edit headings in image banners: 

missing translation: "t:sections.image-banner.blocks.heading.settings.heading_size.label" is not present in any of the ["en"] schema locale files

I would greatly appreciate any help I can get with this! Thank you in advance!
