How can I make my slideshow images clickable in Dawn Theme?

[darkcloud367]

Hello Guys, I tried some methods of older posts but they dont work anymore.

I am looking for a solution to make my Slideshow Images Clickable in Dawn Theme. On clicking the image, it should be redirected to the assigned page. Can someone help me out here?

Hi @darkcloud367 ,

I have a solution to your problem. Please follow the video I guide to solve your problem. Make sure you configure the slideshow as I instruct and replace the code I provided with the correct sileshow.liquid file.

Ensure that you follow the instructions exactly and you will get the results shown in the video.

The code to replace in the file sileshow.liquid:

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

Hi @darkcloud367 ,

Replace this code:

          "type": "select",
          "id": "color_scheme",
          "options": [
            {
              "value": "accent-1",
              "label": "t:sections.all.colors.accent_1.label"
            },
            {
              "value": "accent-2",
              "label": "t:sections.all.colors.accent_2.label"
            },
            {
              "value": "background-1",
              "label": "t:sections.all.colors.background_1.label"
            },
            {
              "value": "background-2",
              "label": "t:sections.all.colors.background_2.label"
            },
            {
              "value": "inverse",
              "label": "t:sections.all.colors.inverse.label"
            }
          ],
          "default": "background-1",
          "label": "t:sections.all.colors.label",
          "info": "t:sections.slideshow.blocks.slide.settings.color_scheme.info"

with the following code: 

 "type": "color_scheme",	
          "id": "color_scheme",	
          "label": "t:sections.all.colors.label",	
          "default": "background-1"

Result:

Good luck @darkcloud367 !

Hi, I finally found an answer (yours) to make a slide image clickable. I hate to ask you but if you still have that loom video and can repost the link, It will make a lot of us Really Happy 8-) The first link you posted in 2023 has expired (or died of old age) 

[tmccrone1990]

Hello! I was wondering if you are able to add to this code, a way to make the mobile image and desktop images for the slideshow allowed to be separate? I currently have a code that does this, and it works well, but I also want to make the image clickable and it seems with these codes I can only do one or the other.
