Adding Links to List Section Images

Site URL: https://amethyst-orchid-6rbh.squarespace.com/config/

Hi.

So when designing my website, I have used a list section to allow users to choose between two options. However, I cannot find a way to allow the users to select their option by clicking on the respective image. Instead, they would have to click on the button below the image.

Is there any way to set it so that members can choose their option by clicking on the image instead of having to use the button? I would prefer it this way as I feel as though the button looks unprofessional.

Let me know!

It should be possible with code, if you are on a business plan or above. However we can't view the site right now so we'll need you to set a password in the visibility settings and share it with us.

Thank you @paul2009, this is great!

Is there a way to have the image clickable/tappable to link, but remove the buttons so that it is just the pictures and their respective titles showing?

You should be able to hide the buttons with CSS. For example, something like:

.list-item-content__button-wrapper {
  display: none;
}

Thank you @paul2009. I've seen your responses everywhere in the forum. Much respect.

Hi,  @paul2009

I'm trying to make the list section item clickable using the code. But it's not working. Only buttons are clickable. I also used the CSS code to hide buttons. Each item has already assigned link to other page (within site).

I'm still building the site so images and titles are just for placement.

I'd greatly appreciate if you can help me for any possible reason.

Thank you so much!

The screenshot shows that the interactive 'Banner Slideshow' mode is being used. If you change this to 'Simple List' mode, the code will allow items to be clicked.

I tried your post with the code for making the list section images clickable and it is also not working for me. Are you able to help?

There are no known issues so if it isn't working, do check that:

• you are applying it to a "list section", not a summary block or similar
• you've added it correctly to code injection footer

If it still isn't working please provide a working link to the page on the site so that we can take a look. See How to Post a Forum Question if you need help with this.

Thank you! the website is https://megankarp.com/

It's the section" Latest plus products" on the homepage.

Thank you for the link.

The "Latest Plus Products" list section is using the Carousel design option, and so it is not possible to use the code in this case.

When Carousel is used, the entire section can be clicked and dragged to allow users to scroll through the visible list and reveal more items. It is therefore not possible make these areas clickable to trigger the CTA. 

I hope that helps to explain.

Ahhh okay that makes sense! thank you for your help! 

Thanks @paul2009. This is a great solution. I appreciate you responding to each of these posts as well.

I'm running into one issue: Even if I choose to have a URL open in a new window through the link editor, this solution opens the link in the same window. Is there a way to force links to open in new windows? Thanks in advance for the help.

Are you testing this whilst logged out of the website, or whilst logged in? Links set to Open in New Window will always open in the same tab when you're logged into your site. 

@paul2009 Thanks for your response. This happens even if I'm not logged in. You can see it happening on the live version of the site now in the Highlights section of https://swiftlinestudio.com/

All of the items listed in this section have Open in New Window turned on in the Link Editor. Here's an example screenshot:

Thank you for sharing the linking solve. I am running into the same problem as  @Swiftline - my Simple List links that are toggled to "open in new window" are not opening in a new window. I've tested using other web browsers, logged out.

If it isn't working as expected then I recommend contacting Squarespace Customer Care directly.

Hi @paul2009, 

Thanks for this awesome solution! Just a note on what others have mentioned re: opening links in new window. I've removed your script from code injection and "open in new window" works as expected, so the issue doesn't seem to be on the Squarespace end. I know you're providing this for free and "as is" (and am very grateful that you do), just wanted to let you know 🙂

Thanks again!

Hi @paul2009 When I use this code, it will hide all the buttons on all list. I have one section with a simple list "behandlungen" on several pages. How can I hide the buttons on all these sections without the other list above with buttons. I tried several .simple-list css but it is always hiding all list style buttons.

Correct. It will apply to all buttons in all lists. If you want to limit this to one section, you'll need to identify the ID of that section and then prefix the CSS with this. For example, for the homepage, you can use this instead:

section[ data-section-id="63f357eea67eec7ce5b274c0"] .list-item-content__button-wrapper {
  display: none;
}

If you need help identifying section IDs, please take a look at my old guide for How to apply CSS to one Squarespace page.

Hi @paul2009
The css with display none is working fine now! 
The website is live now, but I'm facing another issue and I would like to ask your help again? 
 

https://www.akupunkturpraxis-luzern.ch/anwendungen-tcm
On the 3rd section I have a simple list and on the bottom of the page I have a simple list. 
I want to exclude the first simple list with the 8 tiles from clicking on the tile. When I hover on desktop with the mouse I can click on each of them. I want to remove this. What exclusion would I need to add?

Many thanks in advance!

Add the following to Design > Custom CSS.

[ data-section-id="63f781dcf209a7224ce4e387" ] .user-items-list-simple .list-item {

  pointer-events : none;
  
  }

[ data-section-id="63f781dcf209a7224ce4e387" ] .user-items-list-simple .list-item[data-is-card-enabled="true"] .list-item-content__description a {

  pointer-events : auto;
  
  }

Let us know how it goes.

Hi @creedon
Thank you for checking! Well, now the function is gone, but I have links in each box that are not working any more now. 

I believe I need to exclude this section (data-section-id="63f781dcf209a7224ce4e387")  from not using the added code https://sf.digital/squarespace-solutions/make-squarespace-list-items-clickable

Any idea how to do that?
