Hover over to play GIF in Squarespace 7.1 Gallery including clickthrough link with ability to use a universal filter

Hi there! 

Right now I have a portfolio with preloaded GIFs that are autoplaying that I would like to instead play on hover. Additional functionality I am looking for includes making the portfolio searchable (I realize these are two different requests, I just don't want conflicting code). I am new to coding and would appreciate any and all help! Thank you so much!

#2. Possible

Something like this?

pass: abc

#1. Can you share link to your site?

@tuanphan Hi there! Thank you so much for responding! Yes, like that example, except with a text overlay that also plays a GIF when hovering over the image (instead of autoplay) and has the ability to be tagged and filtered. I am looking for the design of the "Our Work V2 Experiment" page with the functionality of the "Our Work" page/ a portfolio template on the website. I am hoping to create the V2 Experiment without as much CSS so it is easier to change content down the line and also add a filter plugin. Again, thank you so much!

@tuanphan Hi again! Just checking in to see if perhaps you have found a solution? Thank you so much! You have the best code on here!

Here I used Filter Plugin (referral link)

• Text Overlay: Possible with CSS
• Gif: Yes. Possible. Use CSS to change each image to gif on hover
• has the ability to be tagged and filtered >> Can you describe this?

@tuanphan What is the CSS that allows for the gif to play on hover? Can the media stay in the portfolio gallery?

Can you send a gif file? I will give you example code.

Also where is Work page, Now I can't find it in Header menu

@tuanphan  Thank you for responding! The work page and the V2 Work page are both in the header (V2 is the style we want but preferably with the Squarespace template that Our Work uses), I apologize for the confusion. I have attached an example GIF file.

Add to Design > Custom CSS. This code for first item

a.grid-item[href="/ourwork/lsssizzle-mfybl"]:hover img {
    content: url(https://content.invisioncic.com/p289038/monthly_2023_03/2021LongStoryShortSizzle-high.gif.436c6863965855afc1ee3c087b82277c.gif);
}

/ourwork/lsssizzle-mfybl is project url

Thank you so much! Is it possible to have settings for mobile?

You mean replace to another gif on mobile or?

Is it possible to have it be a single tap to play the gif and then another tap on mobile for the clickthrough link?

Ideal here is hover on each item >> replace current image with a gif or video (with code)

If you have 19 items, we will need 19 code

If you still want to do this, let me know, we can give the code

@tuanphan yes, that would be wonderful! do the gif need to have a url?

Hi I also need help with how to do this same coding.

Hey there,
