Tutorial: Making Your Slideshow Clickable

Topic summary

Tutorial provides theme-specific steps to make slideshow images clickable by editing slideshow files (e.g., add code near the <img tag) for legacy Shopify themes (Debut, Narrative, Minimal, Brooklyn, Boundless, Simple, Venture). After editing, links are added via Slideshow > Button link. Note: Supply already has a Link URL setting. Tested on themes as of Sept 2020; Shopify support covers free themes only.

Key outcomes and clarifications:

  • Brooklyn: User couldn’t find <img; instructed to use in-file search; adding code above <img worked.
  • Debut: Mixed reports; ultimately confirmed to work. Slides become clickable even without a stored link; support says this is expected behavior. Request to make clicks conditional on a set URL remains unanswered.
  • Other requests (custom content images, clickable subheading, mobile slider button placement, header overlapping): redirected to new threads; no solutions posted.

Online Store 2.0 themes:

  • Multiple requests for Dawn, Craft, Refresh, Ride, Sense. One user shared an external Dawn solution that worked for them (ezfy tutorial). Another shared a Dawn image-banner replacement snippet (partially shown).

Third-party themes:

  • “Fashe” user made slides clickable but lacks a “Button link” setting; no resolution provided.

Notes: Code snippets and images/GIFs are central to applying this tutorial. Thread remains open with unresolved requests for OS 2.0 and third‑party themes.
