Hey @mgco,

Okay, I'll help you out.

 

1) go to your shopify admin>>themes>>action>>duplicate. (backup of the theme).

 

2) shopify admin>>themes>>action>>edit code>>search for image-banner.liquid

3) delete all the code in that file and paste this: 

{% if section.settings.link != blank %}

<a class="custom-link" 
   href="{{ section.settings.link }}"
   {% if section.settings.new_tab %}target="_blank"{% endif %}
   ></a>
<style>
.image-banner-section{
    position: relative;
}

#shopify-section-header{
z-index: 4 !important;
}

.image-banner-section a.custom-link{
    position: absolute;
    display: block;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    z-index: 3;
}
</style>
{% endif %}

4) click save.

5) Go to shopify admin>>theme>>customize.

6) From the “Customize” page, click on the “Image Banner” section.

7) You’ll see a new option at the top named “Link”

😎 Simply add the link you want you can also choose to open it in a new tab if you wish.

 

NOTE: if you have added any buttons, this new link will overwrite their URLs.

@suryagoswami7 I just tried this and while the "link" option appeared when I tried to customize. It had affected the banner height. Could you provide an updated version for the current Dawn template?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi, Does the code above work on a different shopify theme?

Code works great! However I have a transparent header so the icons are not clickable when on the banner. Scrolling down the icons work again. I would be very thankful if you could come up with a solution.

Hey @mgco, great question. I see that @suryagoswami7 was able to get you the code to make those changes. Let me know if it's working well for you. 

I wanted to let you know when you are subscribed to the Starter plan or higher you can reach out to our support advisors and request up to 1 hour of special coding to your Shopify made theme. Since you're using Dawn this theme would be included. If there are any other coding changes you need, don't hesitate to reach out.

Hello Kitana, 

I just read your post about the possibilty of reaching out to Shopify advisors for 1 hour of special coding for my Shopify store. This is the first time i am hearing this and I would like to make use of that service. Where exactly do I contact the advisors ? Also, I know exactly the changes I want done, does that mean I can just detail my desired results and they will deliver ? And is the 1 hour service free of charge ?

 

I am really looking forward to your reply.

 

Best Regards,

JUSTINCASE

Just start a shopify support chat and they'll be able to help you! I believe it's only basic coding (like this thread, making an image clickable). And it's free
