Dawn theme - Making multicolumn images go to url? Code help please!

Store Design

Topic summary

Goal: make each image in the Dawn theme’s Multicolumn section link to its own external URL.

Key fixes

Implementation notes

Outcome

  • Original issue (images redirecting to homepage) resolved by switching to block settings and adjusting anchor placement. Multiple users confirmed success.

Additional guidance

  • For two columns/two images: ensure each block has its own link and is handled within the for loop.
  • Some suggest using block.settings.link if the block already provides a “link” setting.

Open issues

  • Requests: enable slider on desktop, restore mobile slider behavior post-change, make images non-clickable when no link is set, add hover overlay effect, and resolve cases where links reload the current page.

Context

  • Code snippets are central; screenshots show layout of multicolumn images.

Hello! And thank you. I was also needing a solution for linking images in multicolumn.

I have one other question. I want the mobile slider to work on desktop as well. That currently is not a native option. How might I make the slider work in desktop mode as well? I have four images which I would like to slide horizontally on desktop.

Thank you!
