Make column clickable for multi-column section on craft theme

Hey there,

I’m looking to make the multi-column fully clickable so if either the image or any of the text is clicked it will take the user to the same page as the link.

I’ve attached the multicolumn.liquid below. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

This will make your box clickable, if face any issue do let me know

Hopefully, it will help you. If yes then Please don’t forget to hit Like and Mark it as the solution!

@Dylan13

If you consider using an app, there’s an easy way without coding. You can refer to this thread for the solution:

https://community.shopify.com/post/2504181

Btw, here’s an overview of the steps using Easy Content Builder to achieve your layout:

  1. Create a 3-col layout
  2. Add three Image With Text sections (using the overlay option and image link)

PS. I’m a co-creator of the app; feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

Hey there, thanks so much that worked although it seemed to change the colour of all text and make the image corners not rounded. Any chance you can just make it the image that is clickable and leave everything how it was?

Thanks so much!

yes sure give me your store url and password if any I will provide the guide accordingly, but you will have to give me a like and mark my answer as solved :sweat_smile:

Thanks for the help.

Heres the link - https://louvrelounge.co.nz/collections/available-now

Of course I’ll mark as a solution and give you a like :slightly_smiling_face:

sorry but I am not seeing the section I gave code can you add that section somewhere and make it live so I can provide css?

Hey there, it’s the two images you see when you follow the link which I want clickable. These are the multi-columns which I took the code from.

https://louvrelounge.co.nz/collections/available-now

Hey @Dylan13

Are you sure you have pasted my code and saved it because this is something different

Hey @deepaksharma I didn’t save the code you supplied as it changed the look of it. Hence you will see it is the original code that I provided which is unchanged.

Just wanting to make the images clickable

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks again!
