Make project thumbnails unclickable or even use custom link.

Dear @l_s
can you explain a little more in detail what exactly you want to achieve?

Best!

For anyone interested, since the help here is clearly limited:

In the end, I solved the issue with the Plugin "Code Snippets", which I use to execute a php redirect, coming into play whenever a post (in Laytheme = projects) is loaded:

add_action('template_redirect', 'proj_redirect_to_home');

function proj_redirect_to_home()
{
global $post;
    if (is_single() && $post->post_type=='post') {
		$redirect_title = urlencode(get_the_title());
        wp_redirect( esc_url('https://www.domain.com/contact-order/') .'?subject='.$redirect_title );
        exit();
    }
}

Now I redirect to a form, which sits on a separate page. The form is generated by Contact Form 7, which needs to be extended by another plugin called Contact Form 7 - Dynamic Text Extension, to use the dynamic field get parameter. This should be more comfortable than a mailto.

Then, I have a footer activated for all projects, where I have the following function added as a html snippet in the gridder:

<script>
window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(layoutObj, type, obj){
	if(type == "project"){
		location.reload();
	}
});
</script>

Since Laytheme runs as a single page app, the page needs to be refreshed to execute the redirect.
This can also be done by editing Laytheme's frontend.app.js but that's more complicated plus you get issues while updating, obviously.

Cheers :)

Dear @l_s
cool!

We give our best to help. But when it goes into more deep problem solving – we cannot help everywhere.

Thank you for sharing!

Best!

to answer the original question:
every project now has this checkbox

and news posts also have this checkbox
and they also have a url input to have a different link
https://laytheme.com/documentation/newssection.html

[arminunruh]

is there a function where i can switch off or on the project to project arrows in the top header !?

i think your question is unrelated to this topic?

you can only turn on or off project arrows in lay options

Hey @arminunruh dear @mariusjopen , thanks for much for this update, was super helpful on the site we are currently building! Unfortunately, on mobile, custom links that link to a page outside of the current website do not work. Any idea why? All other internal links do, and all external links work on desktop just fine.

Please have a look at this section https://224.shortnotice.online/besuch/ all the way down.

hey,

for the mobile tap issue you might be hitting: there's a bug where external custom links don't open on touch devices when the thumbnail mouseover is set to "on touch, show mouseover state". i've found the cause and will fix it in the next theme update. for now, you can try changing the mobile behaviour in customize → project thumbnails → project thumbnail mouseover → "behaviour on mobile devices" — try "always show mouseover state" or "show mouseover state on touch or tap, tap again to enter project" and see if the external links work then.

Hey Armin, thanks for the super swift response! The links work once "always show mouseover state" is selected, but unfortunately we can't use that option as the whole website is built on thumbnails with alternative images (and thus mobile would look completely different then). But thanks a bunch already for taking care of this issue in the next update, very much appreciated!

[arminunruh]

yeah, of course, no problem. It's going to be fixed with the next update.

[arminunruh]

ok it should be fixed now

[sreibel]

Works, thanks again
