Adding a logo over a Slideshow

Site URL: https://caseyhowarddesigns.com

I'm trying to get a logo to lay on top of an image slideshow on my client's homepage. Template is Hayden. I know how to add the logo to the custom css files, but not sure what html to add and whether it should go in the custom css section or a code block on the homepage.... help?

Screenshots below of roughly what I'm trying to accomplish!

Hi there danielle77, please try this

To add CSS, go to Design -> Custom CSS
 

#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1540315449823_3808 {
  position: relative;
}
#block-yui_3_17_2_1_1540315449823_3808:after {
    content: "";
    position: absolute;
    background: red;
    width: 50vh;
    height: 50vh;
    z-index: 9999;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    background: url(//static1.squarespace.com/static/5babde5a90f904186af144b2/t/5f18f2f2db72d903c7582448/1595477269078/?format=1500w) no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

Hello there @bangank36

thanks for this piece of css, I used it on my website and it worked perfectly fine.

May I ask your help for 2 more things? 

1) How can I make the same logo clickable to link to a page?

This is my site:

https://www.adrianaforconiphotography.com/

In the homepage now I've temporarily duplicated the section. The one on top should be the final one.

The one below is the previous version, where you have the correct link to proceed to /works.

2) I would like to have the cursor transformed in left and right arrow to scroll through this same gallery images. I tried different codes found on other threads here, but nothing worked for me so far.

Many thanks,

Adriana

#1. Do you use Personal or Business or Commerce Plan? Each plan will need a different code to make logo clickable

#2. No idea

Hi @tuanphan,

thanks for your reply. I have a Personal a Personal Plan.

May I ask another question?

Do you have any idea if these pieces of code can be used and adapted someway to Squarespace?

@tuanphan would you be able to help me do this with my site: www.quadrant25.com (pw: Quadrant25)? I don't know what I'm doing wrong with the code/id/image url but nothing shows up for me when I insert the CSS. 

This is the most recent url for the photo: https://photos.google.com/u/2/photo/AF1QipOwczZd2LTkuejU7-FwrDR9UQoDFcW4piCBIAFg. I had to remove the background on a black image which is why it looks all black when you use the link.

Thanks for any help.

GG Photo URL won't work.

You can upload image to Squarespace & get url

Follow this guide: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205813928-Uploading-and-managing-files

Suppose image name is: supaj.png

your website is: quadrant25.com

then the image url will be: www.quadrant25.com/s/supaj.png

Thanks for the info. You can disregard. I decided to try something else.

Hi @tuanphan, hi all,

I would like to place a logo over a full-width slideshow. When the images slide automatically (no arrows, no dots), the logo should always stay in the same place.

Is there a code to put a svg file over a gallery section? (squarespace 7.1, Businessplan)

Thank you so much for your help!
Many greetings!

For all gallery slideshows or specific? If specific, can you share link to page where you use slideshow? We can give the exact code

I think it is called gallery slideshow. But please have a look for your self:

Website: 
PW: 

The logo should be on the section between the yellow field and the news banner (see screenshot attached).

Thanks a lot for your help!
