How to change a link to a button | Summary block

Go to solution Solved by bycrawford,

Recommended Posts

Hi there!

I have added a Summary block to my home page to display the latest blogs. Currently it is showing the 'read more' as a link, but I would like that to display the link as a button (see attached image).

Does anyone have any code I could add to this page so the read more links display instead as buttons? ideally with an outline in #11394D colour if possible (although I'll settle with black)

Thanks in advance.

Smiles,

Jo

Hey Jo,

Use this:

.sqs-block-summary-v2 .summary-item-record-type-text .summary-read-more-link {
  border: solid 1px #11394D;
  padding: 10px;
  width: 60%;
  text-align: center !important;
  margin-top: 30px !important;
  transition: 0.2s;
  
  &:hover {
    background: #11394D;
    color: white;
    transition: 0.2s;
  }
  
}

Thanks you so so much, now one last request, is there any way we can change the font in the Read More box to Bebas Neue CAPS? without the arrow (ideally).
Sam thank you so so much!
You are so flipping clever!

Hey Jo, thanks for the kind words! So to add in Bebas Neue as your font in caps, here is how the code would look:

.sqs-block-summary-v2 .summary-item-record-type-text .summary-read-more-link {
  border: solid 1px #11394D;
  padding: 10px;
  width: 60%;
  text-align: center !important;
  margin-top: 30px !important;
  transition: 0.2s;
  font-family: 'Bebas Neue';
  text-transform: uppercase;
  
  &:hover {
    background: #11394D;
    color: white;
    transition: 0.2s;
  }
  
}

To get rid of the arrow, there are some codes floating round, but I believe they mess with the styling of the button code I gave you. If you download an amazing plugin called Lazy Summaries from SquareWebsites (https://www.squarewebsites.org/squarespace-plugins/lazy-summaries) it allows you to change the text (screenshot attached). If you input whatever you want and hit save, the text will change and the arrow will no longer be shown.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Sam!
So is this code to replace the code you sent me previously, or in addition to?

Hey Jo, this would be to entirely replace the code that I sent earlier 🙂
