Hey, everybody!

Theme “Dawn”.

Let me start from afar. I am making a website for a single product. I needed to add the product to the homepage. I used the “featured product” block, removed the “view full details” button as I need to display all the information here. Next, I needed to add a “collapsible row” to the product . In the basic “featured product” customization this feature is not present. So I did the following: Edit code > Add a new section > created a new section “featured-product-new.liquid” and added the following code here:

{{ 'section-main-product.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'section-featured-product.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-accordion.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-price.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-rte.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
{{ 'component-loading-overlay.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}

{%- style -%}
  .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
    padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
    padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom | times: 0.75 | round: 0 }}px;
  }

  @media screen and (min-width: 750px) {
    .section-{{ section.id }}-padding {
      padding-top: {{ section.settings.padding_top }}px;
      padding-bottom: {{ section.settings.padding_bottom }}px;
    }
  }
{%- endstyle -%}

{%- assign product = section.settings.product -%}

{%- assign first_3d_model = product.media | where: "media_type", "model" | first -%}
{%- if first_3d_model -%}
  {{ 'component-product-model.css' | asset_url | stylesheet_tag }}
  
  
{%- endif -%}

{% javascript %}
  if (!customElements.get('product-modal')) {
    customElements.define('product-modal', class ProductModal extends ModalDialog {
      constructor() {
        super();
      }

      hide() {
        super.hide();
      }

      show(opener) {
        super.show(opener);
        this.showActiveMedia();
      }

      showActiveMedia() {
        this.querySelectorAll(`[data-media-id]:not([data-media-id="${this.openedBy.getAttribute("data-media-id")}"])`).forEach((element) => {
            element.classList.remove('active');
          }
        )
        const activeMedia = this.querySelector(`[data-media-id="${this.openedBy.getAttribute("data-media-id")}"]`);
        const activeMediaTemplate = activeMedia.querySelector('template');
        const activeMediaContent = activeMediaTemplate ? activeMediaTemplate.content : null;
        activeMedia.classList.add('active');
        activeMedia.scrollIntoView();

        const container = this.querySelector('[role="document"]');
        container.scrollLeft = (activeMedia.width - container.clientWidth) / 2;

        if (activeMedia.nodeName == 'DEFERRED-MEDIA' && activeMediaContent && activeMediaContent.querySelector('.js-youtube'))
          activeMedia.loadContent();
      }
    });
  }
{% endjavascript %}

{%- if first_3d_model -%}
  
  
{%- endif -%}

{%- liquid
  if product.selected_or_first_available_variant.featured_media
    assign seo_media = product.selected_or_first_available_variant.featured_media
  else
    assign seo_media = product.featured_media
  endif

Next, I added a new block to the home page, the “collapsible rows” appeared and work quite well.
But now “add to cart” and “buy it now” buttons don’t work in this new block.
I tried to find unbroken code for these buttons in the base “featured product” block to take from there. But nothing came up.
I would be very glad for help.
Thanks!
