Dawn Multiple Clickable Image Banners To Different Links

Topic summary

A user is attempting to make multiple image banners clickable in Shopify’s Dawn theme, with each banner linking to a different URL. The initial problem: all banners were redirecting to the same link as the first banner.

Key developments:

  • User initially followed a tutorial but encountered the linking issue
  • A helper (Dan-From-Ryviu) provided custom CSS code and step-by-step instructions via external links
  • Solution required adding button links to each image banner section, then applying CSS to base.css file
  • Additional issue emerged: banners disappeared on mobile after applying the code

Resolution:

  • Problem was solved by:
    1. Adding individual button links to each banner in the theme customizer
    2. Inserting provided CSS code that sets banner elements to absolute positioning with 100% width/height
    3. Adding supplemental CSS for mobile responsiveness (.banner__media with relative positioning for screens under 767px)

Outcome: Banners now display correctly and link to different URLs on both desktop and mobile devices.

Hi, I’ve followed the code below to make the image banners clickable and it has worked for me. The problem is all the subsequent banners follows the link from the very first banner. How do I make it link to different pages?

Hi @HealthifyBoutiq

If you want banner clickable without button then you can following this

https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dandong910/making-a-slideshow-image-clickable-in-dawn-theme

Tried it and it didn’t work. Do you have a version for Image banner?

Hi @HealthifyBoutiq

You can follow this instruction for image banner

https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dandong910/how-make-image-banner-clickable-shopify-dawn-theme

My banners dissapeared after applying the code. Maybe because i’ve added other code before to the image-banner.liquid file to add show it tablet/mobile & desktop option

Could you share your store link to check?

pass: welcome

Please add link to button link of your images and then add this code at the bottom of your base.css file so I can check

.banner__buttons .button,
.banner__buttons,
.banner__box,
.banner__content {
width: 100%!important;
height: 100%!important;
max-width: 100%!important;
padding: 0!important;
position: absolute!important;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
opacity: 0;
bottom: 0px;
right: 0px;
margin: 0px !important; }

i’ve added the code above to base.css

The 3 banner images are supposed to appear on homepage:

Hope I’ve given you the correct information

You must add link to your button of image banner to make it works

I’ve added on both First & Second button link but its not working on desktop.

Banner Images on mobile dissapeared.

Not caused by my code but you can solve it by adding this addition code

@media (max-width: 767px) {
.banner__media { position: relative !important; }
}
