    dhob got a reaction from CaptainBarnacles in Where did the product item nav (prev/next) go?   
    An update to anyone following this... Fenix from Code +Tonic has developed a solution to the problem here. He's posted a video showing how it works here: https://youtu.be/Wa-oEJWAfuA
    The way this currently works is that the pagination links will give the full name of the previous and next items in a store page's product lineup, with the links appearing at the bottom of the particular product page. He took a stab at this problem after I posted about this on reddit.
    If you are interested, you can contact him about this via his website here: https://codeandtonic.com/contact

    Just a status update for anyone following this... @paul2009 was unable to craft a solution due to a bug in the Squarespace code, as noted on his site here: https://sf.digital/product-ux-extension. Squarespace, meanwhile, has told me that Pagination was a "bug" that was never intended to be in the 7.1 platform. This seems incredibly disingenuous, considering that this "bug" was clearly core functionality carried from the 7.0 commerce platform straight into 7.1 when they started it. To add to this, Squarespace is now claiming that the 7.1 platform is "beta" software, so they have no need to guarantee functionality of any kind. This is interesting, seeing as they're selling the 7.1 platform right alongside the 7.0 platform and have no warnings of it being a beta product. Attached here is their statement to me, dated November 22, 2021. 
    What's also odd about all this is that Pagination actually works on the 7.1 platform if you only use the Quick View option. So their code can clearly do Pagination. Why Pagination from Quick View can't just handle Products in their full view is beyond me.

    I officially threw in the towel on Squarespace because of this issue and canceled my 7.1 site. One year's worth of work down the tubes.

    Do cars exploding upon impact after driving off a cliff make a sound if no one at Squarespace is around to hear them? This metaphorical/philosophical conundrum stands at the heart of the problem here. Bear with me, if you will... 
    I've had an ongoing dialog with Squarespace support about this issue. They liken the removal of pagination to road construction - sometimes disruption happens in order to improve the system. That's all well and good, but road construction generally leaves behind a new road when completed. Squarespace's approach to road construction here is like tearing out a bridge, walking away, and patting themselves on the back for a job well done. Meanwhile cars are driving off a cliff into a dark abyss and exploding on impact.
    I had put months of work into building a new 7.1 site and spent a bundle on design work from a professional graphic designer. The removal of pagination instantly put me out of business. How? I'm a professional artist/photographer who sells work online. I'm dependent on viewers being able to move from one photograph to the next within a portfolio while having that portfolio integrated into a commerce engine. The removal of pagination instantly made each photograph a dead end road (to keep the road work analogy going). I suspect I'm not the only artist or craftsperson who wants to sell their work AND have viewers be able to move between items for sale. The 7.1 platform now offers the option of either selling your work OR showing work as part of a portfolio (via a Gallery or Portfolio) but not both. Pagination allowed both at once. This is a serious downgrade.
    In terms of when pagination might be added back to 7.1, I was given a timeline that can only be described as "maybe to never." How am I supposed to plan around that?
    If this doesn't bother you, consider this in the broader framework... Squarespace has shown that they can and will remove critical functionality without prior feedback or warning. In an instant, you can be functionally out of business without recourse. In this case, pagination had been part of the commerce system for literally years in the 7.0 system and was carried straight through to 7.1. There was no reason to expect this functionality to be removed. Squarespace sold me on moving from my old 7.0 site to building a new 7.1 site based in part on pagination as core functionality of the 7.1 commerce engine. 
    If the idea of being put functionally out of business overnight troubles you, please create a support incident with Squarespace and raise the issue. You can cut and paste what I've written here if it makes it easier. Only if enough people complain will they pay attention. I'm fighting this battle and losing. I just had to resurrect my old expired 7.0 site just to have this functionality again. I now have to start all over again. Please help Squarespace hear the cars exploding at the bottom of the canyon.

    I wish I'd known that Squarespace would put me out of business by removing core functionality from the 7.1 commerce platform without any warning. Like almost all artists, my work exists in the form of portfolios, with each piece living within a larger body of work. I relied on Pagination in the Product Detail pages of the 7.1 commerce engine for the "previous" and "next" links that allowed viewers to move between individual works in my portfolios. Squarespace removed Pagination on Product Detail pages from the 7.1 platform without any warning, despite that it had been a core part of the commerce engine carried straight through from the 7.0 platform. Every competing platform offers Pagination on Product Detail pages, including Squarespace 7.0 even. Without it, I was instantly put out of business, as each piece became a dead end road. After six months of trying every possible way to solve the problem, I finally had to shut down my 7.1 site. This is a huge blow to me personally, but it's hard to see how it benefits Squarespace when every artist, craftsperson, or businessperson wants to make it as easy as possible for buyers to see and navigate through all the products they have on offer. Even more troubling is the fact that Squarespace has now shown that they can and will remove core functionality that your business depends on at any time and without any warning. I paid Squarespace to help put me in business, and instead I got put out of business. I've been a huge fan and longtime user of Squarespace, but I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone.

    Found a way to solve this
    It's possible to find out what's the next/previous product using the Squarespace website JSON. On any page add ?format=json-pretty to the url to see the information. You can get that info with  javascript fetch and add the links to your template. More detailed info about this can be found my this blog post. It needs a bit of extra code because of the bug mentioned in the previous posts. 
    Plugin now available
    Just released the Squarespace 7.1 Pagination plugin. It'll do everything for you with a quick copy-paste.

    So I found this code that works to display the currency (USD) in the product page, although once you make a change to the product (ie: size, colour) it disappears again. I need to be able to show the currency in my pricing, both on the product page and in checkout, otherwise its very confusing to customers (I'm a Canadian business selling in USD).
    Here is the code I'm using to display USD in product pages, which works until you select modifiers:
    ".sqs-money-native:before { content: none !important; } .sqs-money-native:after { content: ' USD' !important; }"
    This is the version for cart currency display, but I haven't had any luck with it at all:
    .sqs-fullpage-shopping-cart-content .cart-container .item-price .price:first-letter, .sqs-fullpage-shopping-cart-content .cart-container .subtotal .price:first-letter { color: #fff; } .sqs-fullpage-shopping-cart-content .cart-container .item-price .price:after, .sqs-fullpage-shopping-cart-content .cart-container .subtotal .price:after { content: ' USD' !important; }
    Can anyone help amend this to display for all product variants, but even more importantly "in cart"? It seems completely ridiculous that Squarespace doesn't display currency in cart, its causing me a ton of problems. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    dhob reacted to kirkroberts in How can I disable product image cropping?   
    For those working on a 7.0 template in the Brine family this Custom CSS might get you going:
    // product index .ProductList-image, // product quick view .ProductItem-gallery-slides-item-image { height: 100% !important; left: 0 !important; object-fit: contain; object-position: center center; top: 0 !important; width: 100% !important; } It should make the image take up as much space as possible within your chosen product index image size, without cropping the image at all.
    It also works on the Quick View, if you have that enabled.
    Note that you can adjust the "object-position" to dictate how the not-cropped image aligns in the "box" created by the Styles setting for product index page images.

    dhob reacted to paul2009 in How can I disable product image cropping?   
    NOTE: This is an old post from 2020 that refers to the older version of Squarespace - version 7.0.
    If you are using the newest version of Squarespace, please see my post entitled Product image aspect ratios on Squarespace 7.1 instead.
    Original post:
    @Marta's site is built with a Brine-family template in Squarespace 7.0. The Brine-family template uses the 'Advanced Products Page' which automatically crops product images to fill the image container. This behaviour is designed to improve the appearance of products pages and cannot be disabled - even with code.
    If you have product images with different aspect ratios, for example portrait and landscape artwork, there are two workarounds available:
    1. If you want to use the same template, you must "reframe" your images before uploading them so that they always match the selected crop shape you have selected in Site Styles. For example, below is some artwork with a portrait aspect ratio. The image file has been edited to add a white border, changing the aspect ratio to landscape to match the setting in Site Styles. (The yellow border is not part of the image file - I've added it to illustrate the shape of the white border on this white page!)

    2. Use one of the older templates that uses the 'Classic Products Page'. Bear in mind that these templates are much older (some as old as 2012) and do not include a number of advanced commerce features. The Classic Product Page is currently available with these older Squarespace 7.0 template families:

    The code was written in 2016 and like many of the older code samples provided on forums, it therefore understandably doesn’t take into account the introduction of Ajax on many Squarespace templates since that time.

    window.Squarespace.onInitialize(Y, function() { If like me you’d like to understand why, I wrote an explanation here: https://sf.digital/squarespace-solutions/why-doesnt-my-code-work-until-i-refresh-the-page

    Hi. The following Javascript, inserted via footer code injection should do the trick:
    <script> (function() { var prices = document.getElementsByClassName('sqs-money-native'); var thisPrice; var i, I; for (i=0, I=prices.length; i<I; i++) { thisPrice = prices[i]; thisPrice.innerHTML = thisPrice.innerHTML.replace(/(\.[0-9]*?)0+$/, "$1").replace(/\.$/, ""); //http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1015402/1015434#1015434 } })(); </script>
    I didn't test this throughout your site...just checked a couple pages. Do let me know if this works for you.

    I wish I'd known that Squarespace would put me out of business by removing core functionality from the 7.1 commerce platform without any warning. Like almost all artists, my work exists in the form of portfolios, with each piece living within a larger body of work. I relied on Pagination in the Product Detail pages of the 7.1 commerce engine for the "previous" and "next" links that allowed viewers to move between individual works in my portfolios. Squarespace removed Pagination on Product Detail pages from the 7.1 platform without any warning, despite that it had been a core part of the commerce engine carried straight through from the 7.0 platform. Every competing platform offers Pagination on Product Detail pages, including Squarespace 7.0 even. Without it, I was instantly put out of business, as each piece became a dead end road. After six months of trying every possible way to solve the problem, I finally had to shut down my 7.1 site. This is a huge blow to me personally, but it's hard to see how it benefits Squarespace when every artist, craftsperson, or businessperson wants to make it as easy as possible for buyers to see and navigate through all the products they have on offer. Even more troubling is the fact that Squarespace has now shown that they can and will remove core functionality that your business depends on at any time and without any warning. I paid Squarespace to help put me in business, and instead I got put out of business. I've been a huge fan and longtime user of Squarespace, but I wouldn't wish this experience on anyone.

    Wish I had known there is no way of integrating squarespace with a till system in the UK. Cant even find a third party. Also discovered it's impossible to create a shipping option in the UK that excludes certain postcodes. The site is built now so can't switch but if I was to choose again or make recommendations to someone else, it would not be squarespace.

    I wish I would have known that the "updates" can come without anytime without any warning.
    I wish I would have known how difficult it would be to facilitate subscriptions for my customers (and mine are VERY simple, so this platform has FAILED in that department).
    I wish I would have known that Squarespace seems to take ZERO accountability for the areas that they fail both their customers and mine.. what does it matter if something "looks cool" if it can't make sales functional.
    Beware this platform, and spend more money on a better one or build your own.
