How to add Buttons to Featured Collection

Topic summary

A user is experiencing issues with a carousel/slideshow on their Shopify Dawn 12.0.0 theme. The carousel works on both mobile and desktop, but lacks navigation slider buttons and instead displays a “1/4” counter indicator beneath it.

Goal: Remove the “1/4” counter and add proper carousel slider buttons for both mobile and desktop views.

Proposed Solution:
A community member suggests using CSS media queries to hide slideshow controls/counter on mobile devices:

  • Access theme editor via Shopify admin (Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code)
  • Locate the slideshow code in the template/section file
  • Add custom CSS targeting mobile devices (max-width: 767px) to hide controls:
@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  .slideshow-controls,
  .slideshow-counter {
    display: none;
  }
}

Status: The solution addresses hiding elements but doesn’t fully resolve adding proper slider buttons. The discussion appears incomplete, with the response text partially corrupted/reversed.

Hello @AryavK

Yes, it is possible to remove the slideshow controls/counter for mobile devices only in the Dawn theme. You can achieve this by using CSS media queries to selectively hide the controls and counter on mobile devices. Here’s an example of how you can do it:

  1. Access the theme editor: Go to your Shopify admin dashboard and navigate to “Online Store” → “Themes”. Find the Dawn theme and click on the “Actions” dropdown, then select “Edit code”.

  2. Locate the slideshow code: In the theme editor, search for the code that generates the slideshow. This code is usually found within a section or template file and may have CSS classes or IDs associated with it.

  3. Add custom CSS: Within the slideshow code, you’ll need to add custom CSS to hide the controls and counter on mobile devices. Insert the following CSS code:

@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
  .slideshow-controls,
  .slideshow-counter {
    display: none;
  }
}
  • In this example, the CSS code uses a media query to target mobile devices with a maximum width of 767 pixels. It selects the slideshow controls and counter elements and sets their display property to “none” to hide them on mobile devices.
