How to embed hyperlinks to (buttonless) slideshow banners in Dawn theme 6.0.2

[lucasgbona]

Hi there, 

I have managed to add page links of my store to the banners but what I really have to do is to add external hyperlinks to the (buttonless) slideshow banners so they take to the Facebook webpage, whatsapp group and  Instagram profile. 

I would really appreciated if anyone could give a hand with that.

Thank you.

@lucasgbona when you add a link to the button I hope it will automatically embed on whole slide

[Rahul_dhiman]

So thats possible . Please check the screenshot which might give you better Idea

Hey Rahul, 

Thank you for your reply.

I am actually on the Slideshow instead of image banner section. I have 5 slides on slideshow that have their height customised to 350px and all are buttonless. 

I have managed to add a box link to them although I can't add an external hyperlink to the banners as the options given are for my store webpages only as displayed in the screenshots below:

 

If you are still able to help me with it I'd be much appreciated. 

Thank you.

@lucasgbona 

So if you can share the link to the website I can check . So you need the banners to be clickable ? Without any text on the banner ??

If yes then there might be little adjustment needed in the code .

[lucasgbona]

Yes, the banners won't have buttons and will be clickable throughout each one.

Thank you.

@lucasgbona add this css 

.banner:after {
    position: unset !important;
}

and add href value of a tag , 

[Rahul_dhiman · Accepted solution]

Okay so the solution for this is that you need to replace the code in slideshow.liquid with the one below . With the code below you will see the option to add banner link and that way the banner would become clickable .

So to got slideshow.liquid 

1: Online Store >> Themes >> Edit code 
2: Find the file called slideshow.liquid 
3: Replace the code inside with the one below and save .
4: Open Customize and Open the slideshow . You will see an option marked in the image .

Hey Rahul, 

The solution you provided works well. I appreciated your help.

One last question. 

On mobile responsive the slideshow has a big space at the bottom of it, making a good room between it and the next section.

Would you be able to help me to remove that space on mobile responsive please?

 I added a screenshot of it for further details.

Thank you, once again.
