sg1977 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hi there! I’m trying to create a summary block that points readers/users to other parts of my website. I have article pages, but they’re not designed as blog posts. I don’t have blog posts or products. Does anyone know how to create a summary block that points to regular pages of my site? In case it’s helpful, I’m using a 7.1 template. Thank you! Link to comment
Ziggy Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Summary blocks only work with blogs and products in 7.1, you can use images or other standard blocks to create links, or use the List (auto-layout) section to add a some summary block style (but it needs manually populating, unlike a summary block). Please like and upvote if my comments were helpful to you. Cheers!

Thank you. I've tried to use Lists and Galleries. But I'm not able to link the images within the galleries, AND the text beneath them. Do you know if there's a workaround? Appreciate your help and time! Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Your best solution is to create a blog page in the unlinked section of your site, and create a summary block in the main part of your site. If you don't want anyone to click thru to the blog post you can disable that with the following code in custom css. .summary-thumbnail-container { pointer-events: none !important; } Link to comment

sg1977 Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 One quick follow-up: once I create a summary block on the main site, and disable the click thru to the blogpost: how do I link to the pages that I actually want people to go to? Link to comment
derricksrandomviews Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) I should have read your original post a bit more carefully. If you want to go to any other page besides the blog page, then you would not disable the click thru, you would set the blog post for "post title should link to source url" in the settitngs/content setting of the blog post itself. Insert the url and turn on the toggle. When the title or image in the summary block is clicked it goes to the url (internal or external link) that you set. It won't open in a new window without code, just to let you know. Edited February 3, 2023 by derricksrandomviews Link to comment
nat456987 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Hi, I'm trying to do this too - but I have another summary bock elsewhere which I do want to be able to link through from. Is there a way of disabling the link on one summary block without doing it site wide? Thanks so much Link to comment

If you give an example of where you want to do this I can provide you with some code. Please like and upvote if my comments were helpful to you. Cheers!
