Making entire slideshow images clickable (Studio Theme)

[RJH]

I am trying to turn my entire slideshow images into clickable links on the Studio theme, rather than using the slideshow button link. I found a partial solution here: https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/making-a-slideshow-image-clickable-in-dawn-theme/m-p/... 

It worked insofar as the images are now links, but my drop-down menu on desktop is no longer functioning correctly, as the slideshow link is now prioritized over the menu links. 

Would someone be able to help me resolve this issue?

Thanks for your help!

Hi @RJH 

You just need to find and open the theme.liquid file, add this code above the </body> as shown below:

<script>
        setInterval(()=>{
          let menuItem = document.querySelector("details[open]"); 
          if(menuItem){
              let slideShows = document.querySelectorAll(".slideshow__slide a"); 
              if(slideShows.length){
                  for(let i=0; i<slideShows.length; i++){
                      if(slideShows[i].style.zIndex === "999"){
                          slideShows[i].style.zIndex = "1";
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
          else {
              let slideShows = document.querySelectorAll(".slideshow__slide a"); 
              if(slideShows.length){
                  for(let i=0; i<slideShows.length; i++){
                      if(slideShows[i].style.zIndex === "1"){
                          slideShows[i].style.zIndex = "999";
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      })
</script>

I hope that this will work for you.

I didn't seem to have any luck with this solution. In the mean time, I did find another solution. Thank you though for replying to my inquiry.

Hi @RJH,

Please go to slideshow.liquid file and change all code:
