I am trying to do the same thing, add image link to “Image with Text” section in debut theme. I do not see the place to add the schema you gave. It is saying this,
Error: Invalid JSON in tag ‘schema’. Can you please help me?
Topic summary
Goal: Make the homepage hero/image blocks clickable in Shopify (mainly Debut), linking to a collection or URL.
Working approach (Debut):
- Add a URL setting to the section schema (JSON) after the existing “button_label” entry: {“type”:“url”,“id”:“image_link”,“label”:“Image link”}.
- Wrap the hero content (or the image) with … in hero.liquid. For Image with Text (feature-row.liquid), use section.settings.image_link; for Text columns with images (feature-columns.liquid), use block.settings.image_link.
Common issues and fixes:
- Invalid JSON: place the new field inside the {% schema %} … {% endschema %} block, with correct commas and quotes, typically right after “button_label”.
- Link saved but not working or redirects to homepage: use the correct scope (section vs block) matching the file/section.
- Image becomes oversized/zoomed after wrapping: wrap the parent wrapper/div (above the
) instead of the
itself to preserve sizing.
Theme notes:
- Debut: multiple confirmations and file-specific examples (hero.liquid, feature-row.liquid, feature-columns.liquid). A slideshow tutorial was referenced.
- Minimal/Boundless/Supply: users asked; no confirmed final fix reported.
Status: Partially resolved for Debut with code examples; outstanding issues remain for other themes and some layouts. Screenshots were used to illustrate code placement.
