How do I make a slideshow clickable with a link in the Refresh Theme?

[floriankurz]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a solution to make my slideshow images clickable in the refresh theme. At best, the link of the button should be adopted here. When the image is clicked, it should be redirected to the assigned page. Can anyone help me here?

Here ist my slideshow.liquid:

{{ 'section-image-banner.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-slider.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-slideshow.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

{%- if section.settings.slide_height == 'adapt_image' and section.blocks.first.settings.image != blank -%}
  {%- style -%}
    @media screen and (max-width: 749px) {
      #Slider-{{ section.id }}::before,
      #Slider-{{ section.id }} .media::before,
      #Slider-{{ section.id }}:not(.banner--mobile-bottom) .banner__content::before {
        padding-bottom: {{ 1 | divided_by: section.blocks.first.settings.image.aspect_ratio | times: 100 }}%;
        content: '';
        display: block;
      }
    }

    @media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
      #Slider-{{ section.id }}::before,
      #Slider-{{ section.id }} .media::before {
        padding-bottom: {{ 1 | divided_by: section.blocks.first.settings.image.aspect_ratio | times: 100 }}%;
        content: '';
        display: block;
      }
    }
  {%- endstyle -%}
{%- endif -%}

Thank you

I created a separate JS file named custom.js and linked it through theme.liquid placing this this code  {{ 'custom.js' | asset_url | script_tag }} right before </body>

const slideOne = document.querySelector('#Slide-template--Your Slideshow ID Goes Here-1');
slideOne.addEventListener('click', function() {
window.location.href = '/slideOneURL';
});

const slideTwo = document.querySelector('#Slide-template--Your Slideshow ID Goes Here-2');
slideTwo.addEventListener('click', function() {
window.location.href = '/slideTwoURL';
});

Rinse and repeat for however many slides you have making sure you don’t use a const more than once.

I also added code to my custom.css file to change the cursor to a pointer for each slide and linked it through theme.liquid by placing this code {{ 'style.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }} right before </head>

#Slide-template--Your Slideshow ID Goes Here-1:hover {
cursor: pointer;

}

#Slide-template--Your Slideshow ID Goes Here-2:hover {
cursor: pointer;

}

Rinse and repeat for however many slides you have…

Yeah, it's a bit clunky because you have to do this for each slide but t works.
