Image Banner Hyperlink Issue - Craft Theme

Topic summary

A user is experiencing hyperlink issues with image banners in the Craft theme. Initially, mobile navigation drawer clicks were being overridden by the image banner hyperlinks.

Attempted Fix & New Problem:

  • Adjusted z-index values to prioritize the drawer menu on mobile
  • This fix broke desktop functionality: hyperlinks stop working when viewport exceeds 750px
  • Chrome inspection reveals new code appearing at this breakpoint

Current Code:
The user shared their image-banner.liquid custom code, which includes:

  • Absolute positioning for clickable overlay links
  • Z-index of 2 for the custom link
  • Z-index of 3 for menu drawer navigation
  • Media query targeting screens under 749px

Status:
The discussion remains open with no responses yet. The user is seeking help to resolve the desktop hyperlink failure while maintaining the mobile menu fix. The schema section of the code appears corrupted or improperly formatted in the post.

I use the craft theme, and I have a section of my website where I have image banners that hyperlink to other sections of my website. I found this custom code on the internet, and don’t remember where.

For the longest time, on mobile if I was on this page with the hyperlinked image banners, and then wanted to click into another section of the site using the drawer menu, it would give the hyperlinked image priority.

Now, I have fixed that by changing the z-index (I think.)

My issue now is that with this fix, I have now found a much worse problem - If I go into desktop mode, my hyperlinks no longer work. It’s when my px is over 750, a new line of code emerges (when I have inspected it on Google Chrome) and I truly don’t know what to do. Here’s my code for “image-banner.liquid”, any help would be wildly appreciated.

{% if section.settings.link != blank %}
<a class=“custom-link” href=“{{ section.settings.link }}” {% if section.settings.new_tab %}target=“_blank”{% endif %}>

.image-banner-section { position: relative; } .image-banner-section a.custom-link { position: absolute; display: block; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; bottom: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; z-index: 2; /* Increase the z-index to place it above other content */ background-color: transparent; /* Add a transparent background color */ pointer-events: auto; /* Enable pointer events to make it clickable */ } /* Ensure your menu has a higher z-index to be on top */ #.menu-drawer__navigation { z-index: 3; }

{% endif %}
