[Rio_Omnis]

Hi I am in need of making the images on multiculumn clickable. 

This is the store: Pete's Rubbers 

If I could get help I would really appreciate it.

Hello @Rio 

Please follow the steps to modify your theme and enable clickable images in the multi-column section:

1. Log in to your Shopify Admin.
2. Go to: Online Store > Themes.
3. Locate the theme you want to edit and click Actions > Edit code.
4. In the code editor, search for "multicolumn.liquid" and open the file

     5. Inside this file, search for "media--transparent", select the code highlighted in the screenshot, and replace it with the code provided below:

📌 Reference Screenshot: New Code Screenshot

Code to Add:

{% if block.settings.clickable_image %}
  <a {% if block.settings.link == blank %} 
      role="link" aria-disabled="true"
    {% else %} 
      href="{{ block.settings.link }}"
    {% endif %}> 
{% endif %}
  {%- liquid
    assign number_of_columns = section.settings.columns_desktop
    assign number_of_columns_mobile = section.settings.columns_mobile
    assign grid_space_desktop = number_of_columns | minus: 1 | times: settings.spacing_grid_horizontal | plus: 100 | append: 'px'
    assign grid_space_tablet = number_of_columns_mobile | minus: 1 | times: settings.spacing_grid_horizontal | plus: 100 | append: 'px'
    assign grid_space_mobile = number_of_columns_mobile | minus: 1 | times: settings.spacing_grid_horizontal | divided_by: 2 | plus: 30 | append: 'px'
    if section.settings.image_width == 'half'
      assign image_width = 0.5
    elsif section.settings.image_width == 'third'
      assign image_width = 0.33
    else
      assign image_width = 1
    endif
  -%}
  {% capture sizes %}
    (min-width: {{ settings.page_width }}px) calc(({{ settings.page_width }}px - {{ grid_space_desktop }}) * {{ image_width }} /  {{ number_of_columns }}),
    (min-width: 990px) calc((100vw - {{ grid_space_desktop }}) * {{ image_width }} / {{ number_of_columns }}),
    (min-width: 750px) calc((100vw - {{ grid_space_tablet }}) * {{ image_width }} / {{ number_of_columns_mobile }}),
    calc((100vw - {{ grid_space_mobile }}) * {{ image_width }} / {{ number_of_columns_mobile }})
  {% endcapture %}
  {{
    block.settings.image
    | image_url: width: 3200
    | image_tag:
      widths: '50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2250, 2500, 2750, 3000, 3200',
      sizes: sizes,
      class: 'multicolumn-card__image'
  }}
{% if block.settings.clickable_image %}
  </a> 
{% endif %}

6. Search for "image_picker" in the same file and add the following code below it. This enables a clickable image setting in the theme editor.
📌 Reference Screenshot: View Screenshot

{
  "type": "checkbox",
  "id": "clickable_image",
  "label": "Make image clickable",
  "default": true
}

7. Search for "endstyle" in the same file and add the following code above it. Reference screenshot: View Screenshot
Code to Add:

.multicolumn-list__item .media--adapt .multicolumn-card__image {
    height: 100%;
  }
  .multicolumn-card__image-wrapper .media a img {
      height: 100%;
      width: 100%;
      object-fit: cover;
      object-position: center center;
      transition: opacity .4s cubic-bezier(.25,.46,.45,.94);
  }

8. Save the file.

Now, images in the multi-column section will be clickable based on the settings.

The last code you have provided I don't know where to place it because I don't have anything that looks like that in my code. I am attaching screenshots maybe you can let me know where I can place it.

Hello @Rio_Omnis 

As we have seen, you are in the correct file, but you have not gotten where to add code, so please replace the full code of the file with the one below code:
