Make homepages slides clickable?

[Michelle]

Hello,

Is it possible to make the homepage slides clickable as a whole? Instead of using a “Read More” button? I have already created images with text and buttons that I would like to use for the slides, but I can’t figure out how to make them clickable themselves.

Thank you!

I’m guessing it’s not possible? 🙁

Hi @judeamedia, To make the entire slider clickable please add this js in Boss theme’s custom js option.

jQuery( document ).ready( function(){
    jQuery('.slide_content').click(function(){
     window.location=jQuery(this).find("a").attr("href");
         return false;
}); 
});

and add the css in custom css option

.bb-slider-container .slide_content {
  cursor: pointer;
}

Oh thank you so much for your reply! You have no idea how much better my site will look if I can use the Buddyboss slider!

The click function works great! However, I’m not sure where to put the URLs. I put them in the “Give us a link” box, but they’re returning a 404.

Thanks again for your help! 😀

Hi @Pallavi,

Thank you, but that is where I am putting the links and they are returning a 404 error with this code.

Hi @judeamedia, Please attach a screen shot of your admin panel where you are adding the slider.

Hi @judeamedia, It is required to enter button text in slider. If you do not enter Slider title and description that is not required but url will work if you enter the value in button text.

Thank you so much! It worked!

Adding text to the button did create a button, though, so I had to add this code to custom CSS:

.readmore {display:none!important;}

I hope that doesn’t cause any issues on the rest of the site.

Thank you so much for your help in getting this working! 🙂
