Here is my attempt to recreate.

I´ve got the drag and drop working, but have no success with open the link by dropping the project.
Can somebody give me a hint how to implement a link to open my projects by dropping?
Tried it with the project “smart-thermostat”
This is how my custom code looks right now.


Thanks in advance!

Cheers twan

Hey @Twan I’ll take a look :slight_smile:

So each one of your “Droppable” “.project” items needs a “link element” in them, as the snippet shown above is looking for this snippet to open the corresponding page:

Use the HTML Embed element to place this snippet:
<a href="/your page address here" class="link-to-open"></a>

I think that’s all that is missing, as I can’t publish to test :smiley:

Let me know how you get on!

P.S. Thank @StuM for tagging me

Thanks @StuM !

Hey Aaron, hope it´s fine to use your site as reference :slight_smile:
I did add the HTML Embed as told. But that wasn´t the problem.

Found out that I needed to add this too.

I thought this is just to delay the new opened site to give your animations time.

Thanks for your help!
