Make entire column clickable

the problem is that josues edited columns.php shortcode is more than 2 Years old

here is one edited new columns.php file of Enfold 4.2.3 on pastebin : columns.php with clickable link

or as direct download: Download

i have inserted on the edited lines some comments !

1) Now download it – and upload it to your child-theme/shortcodes folder
2) insert in functions.php of your child-theme:

add_filter('avia_load_shortcodes', 'avia_include_shortcode_template', 15, 1);
function avia_include_shortcode_template($paths)
{
  $template_url = get_stylesheet_directory();
      array_unshift($paths, $template_url.'/shortcodes/');
  return $paths;
}

3) see how it looks on ALB:
see here in Action ( the red 1/2 column): https://webers-testseite.de/weber/clickable-columns/

Well i see that Josue has not included a link_target option – so i try to implement that too

First i edited again links are the same as above.
I added the option to set the link target !

1) on which version of enfold you are with your install ?
2) what is behind that custom-class (iconboxstyle) ? (css code please)

the code above sets the possibility to overwrite parent shortcodes (or insert new one)
you don’t need to replace the parent theme file ( this is why child-themes are the best solution)

did you inserted the code to functions.php of the child-theme? or to the parent-theme?
Child is the way to do!

i guess i know: it does not make a sense to set for iconbox a link here !

you see that : https://kriesi.at/support/topic/make-entire-column-clickable/#post-909838

and think of Josues css code:

a.flex_column {
    text-decoration: none !important;
}

see my test page –
1) if iconbox itself get a link – the structure was destroyed. (
2) first of the 1/4 th columns got no link on iconbox – everything is ok.
3) if you have a text-block in that clickable column – the text will get his hover state- to avoid underlining you have to set some css code

on my Enfold it works: https://webers-testseite.de/weber/clickable-columns/

here is a little tutorial of mine: https://webers-testseite.de/edited-enfold-alb-elements/

it is nearly all the same thing – an edited ALB Element comes to child-theme / shortcodes folder
your changings are on the bottom of that tut.

If you do not have after that success please wait til a mod is here and give him the account information in private area.
Maybe the could help you in that case

i’m now looking for the code error : why the link_target does not work on my end.

Yes – please download again. Download

it seems that you have to pull in new columns to be influenced of the new code.

you have clicked on one of those columns. because the visual hover-state of my test-page is in quick css.

you have downloaded the column.php again as in thread here https://kriesi.at/support/topic/make-entire-column-clickable/#post-909911
