How to have the product image slider_dawn theme

Store Design

Topic summary

Users are seeking ways to implement a product image slider in Shopify’s Dawn theme without using apps.

Initial Challenges:

  • Early attempts involved custom code from external tutorials, but users encountered issues like broken “add to cart” buttons and uncertainty about where to paste code snippets.
  • One user found a solution at made4uo.com that worked well but wanted mouse-over zoom instead of image pop-ups.

Working Solutions Shared:

  • made4Uo provided a free code solution converting Dawn’s product page to Debut-style functionality, featuring:
    • Working product slider and zoom
    • Variant buttons connected to images
    • Thumbnail resizing
    • No external libraries or apps needed
  • A vertical carousel solution was later shared for updated Dawn versions.
  • Guybrush_shopz created a custom tutorial without extra libraries.

Built-in Solution:

  • Hey_Jak revealed that Shopify Dawn theme has a native slider feature that simply needs to be enabled through theme settings, eliminating the need for custom code.

Ongoing Issues:

  • Some users reported “missing or invalid parameter” errors when adding items to cart.
  • Mobile display questions remained about showing all images vertically without scrolling.

It’s not working properly. The add to cart button does not work.

There is no such file like ‘product-galery.js’.i create it but did not help

Thank you though!

I found this solution. It is almost perfect for what I want except I’d rather have the zoom over with mouse instead of the image pop up.

hello after doing this all working but getting error when add to cart -

Required parameter missing or invalid: items

Hello everyone! We also tried several of the tutorials out there, and none of them really seemed to work or they came with lots of extra libraries - so I decided to write a version and a tutorial myself. It’s free to read here - would love to hear if its helps anyone: https://www.der-burtchen.de/2022/05/ein-produkt-slider-mit-dem-shopify-theme-dawn/2/
