How can I make homepage photos clickable on Studio theme?

[sheenamays]

I have a multi column on my homepage where I need to make the photos clickable.I am using the Studio theme. I need the clickable links to work on a desktop and mobile device.

Here is the current code: https://pastebin.com/48ALSSsp

How do I fix it? Please and thank you.

Hi,

Please replace the multicolumn.liquid with the code below.

{{ 'section-multicolumn.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ 'component-slider.css' | asset_url }}" media="print" onload="this.media='all'">
<noscript>{{ 'component-slider.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}</noscript>

    padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
  }

  @media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
    .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
      padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
      padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
    }

<a href="{{ block.settings.image_link }}">    

</a>

This fixed the image being clickable, but it created another issue. The images are now distorted and not retained inside their boxes. I have looked at the code side by side and there is zero differences other than those changes. What about that anchor tag is causing this?

[solverStaff]

I have to fix it on your live theme. If you'd like to discuss this more, don't hesitate to send me a PM.

Hi,

As you see the code, there are only 2 changes (anchor tag & schema) from the original file as below.

anchor tag

{% if block.settings.image_link != blank %}
<a href="{{ block.settings.image_link }}">
{% endif %}

{% if block.settings.image_link != blank %}
</a>
{% endif %}

schema 
        {
          "type": "url",
          "id": "image_link",
          "label": "Image Link"
        },

In most cases, the anchor tag should not affect to break the container (image box). However, in case you are not using the anchor tag for the image, you may use the code above. If there are any other things affect the layout, I have to access to your theme file.

Please send me private message to let me collaborator access to your store (only for the theme change & for free). If you like to resolve the issue by yourself, please check the media, media--transparent, and multicolumn-card__image classes.

Thanks.

Hello @sheenamays 

You have to add anchor tag before img tag. If you have no coding knowledge then you have to hire a Shopify expert. You can contact us below details if you want.
