    Being able to sort your products would be a good first start. Not having a sorting option built into the settings is a gross oversight. And then ignoring customer requests for years to add it...

    Another request:  A way to set "sold out" text to be consistent with the product's type.
    Use case:
    For products that can have multiples (e.g., posters): "Sold out" should be displayed For products that are one of a kind (e.g., original works of art): "Sold" should be displayed For products with limited capacity (e.g., classes and workshops): "Full" should be displayed Currently the only way to do this is to organize products types by page and use code injection on each page.

    LKW got a reaction from Beyondspace in The future of 7.0?   
    Hello, All. I've been away from the forum for a while and am wondering if there's any estimate of how long 7.0 will still be available. Has anyone heard anything on this?
    Thanks.

    I wish I'd known Squarespace was going to scrap its concise 7.0 product interface, where everything in a tab was accessible at a glance on a single browser page, and replace it with a clumsy interface that is mostly empty space and requires a huge amount of scrolling to see all the attributes of a product.

    Squarespace will continue to support version 7.0 indefinitely, just as they do with version 5.

    LKW got a reaction from MillyBanks in Display multiple dates for same event   
    I guess there's been no improvement from Squarespace on this?
    We've been living with this problem for years. What we do is make sure that each of our event descriptions and excerpts leads with text giving the actual date and time, e.g., Saturday Oct 30 and Saturday Nov 6, 2021, 10 am to 4 pm.  I believe that over time we have actually trained our clientele to recognize and subliminally adjust for Squarespace event date anomalies. 😁
    A worse problem, as I see it, is that a disjointed event date span, like the one above, makes a mess when displayed in the calendar format, because it shows the event on every single day in the intervening week. We finally just gave up trying to display a calendar of events on our Squarespace site.

    Bless you for maintaining and publishing a Squarespace change log! I had no idea your log existed, and I will definitely be referring to it in the future. I'm sure it will save me "many hours angry time," as a former colleague used to say.

    I have not yet heard a peep back from Support on this issue.

    LKW got a reaction from Beyondspace in Remove product import .csv file names from Link Editor "Files" list?   
    Does anyone know of a programmatic way to remove entries from the "Files" list in the Link Editor? (7.0/Montauk)
    Sure, you can manually select "Delete" on each file, but that is so clumsy when you have a lot of junk files. And why would you have a lot of junk files? Because every time you import a product .csv file, apparently that filename gets added to the list of files in the Link Editor. Then if you later try to use the Link Editor to link to a static file you actually care about, you have to scroll thru all the .csv files you have ever imported.
    So, before I get started on setting up our new store (with products whose prices will be updated daily via .csv imports) I am wondering if there is a way to deal with Link Editor file clutter. Anyone have any suggestions?
    (Am I the only one who's ever had this problem? I am mystified as to why the product import .csv clutter up the list. You can't reuse them, you can't download them, and you can't tell how big they are or when they were uploaded. In fact, even failed import attempts add filenames to the Link Editor list. I contacted Customer Care about this a year ago and they said they'd look into it, but I just did a little test and found that the problem still persists.)

    Update: Squarespace help has told me they can replicate the problem (which means they'll stop telling me it's because of customization on my site or choice of  browser) BUT it could be several months before it's fixed . This, combined with the fact that onsite "search" function was so bad we hid the search function rather than have people get bad results, is forcing my hand to look at Wordpress...

    Another problem I'm seeing is that when you're editing a page, clicking on a hyperlink to modify it can actually take you to the linked page and you lose your edits! This seems to happen when there are multiple hyperlinks and you've just inspected one hyperlink (i.e. the link editor box pops up and you close it) and then you click on another to inspect it too. Clicking the second one navigates you away from the page you're editing.
    So far I'm just fiddling around on a test page, because at this point I'm afraid to edit any our production pages. I emailed Cust Svc yesterday but have not yet heard back.
    (The funny thing is that I stumbled onto this while trying to figure out how to delete an apparently orphaned product page so I could reuse its URL. More on that later...)

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention that -- my formatting menus are disappearing, too. Not all the time, just seemingly randomly. Like, if I wait a few minutes, they work again. Could this be some kind of extreme latency problem?

    And are we the only ones seeing this? Maybe there is just one corrupted server on the SS farm? (Or AWS, or whatever they use.) And yes, I've emailed a followup to the support case I opened, but still haven't heard back.

     I should've spent my pandemic year learning Wordpress instead of molecular gastronomy.

    I am having the link editor problem today in both Chrome and Firefox on Mac OS. I thought I fixed it on Chrome by clearing the cache but it has returned after a couple of successful uses. This is with 7.0.
    The behavior I see is that clicking on text gives you the text formatting menu, but clicking on the link widget causes the entire menu to disappear and no link editor dialog appears. I can continue to modify the text but without any formatting.

    LKW got a reaction from Beyondspace in Product images + aspect ratios   
    Well, for example, take a look at the product collection page here: whitprint.com/emprex-2020-inv
    On mobile, there's so much whitespace beneath each wide image that its title appears to label the image below it.  So instead of the product collection page, I use summary blocks to display product thumbnails, and that looks a lot better on mobile. However, summary blocks crop the images, which is not what you want when displaying art.  But it seems the better of the two choices.
