Yo Kathy-o, what's the goal of the Shop? Does it related to you or the Kathy-o brand in any way? I generally think about it in terms of overall brand. If KickinAss relates to Kathy-o, then I would keep them on the same website. If it's a completely separate brand, then keep them separate. I would remove the fact about it being an ecommerce site and focus more on brand.

Squarespace 7.1 and the future of the Developer Platform
jasonbarone replied to nickwelsh's question in Coding and Customization
I agree, it's kind of concerning that Squarespace hasn't shared more information about this. Developer mode is a very large part of the ecosystem.- 4 replies

jQuery header code injection not running after index page Ajax reload
jasonbarone replied to TQM5's question in Coding and Customization
This is very easy to solve. Simply modify the AjaxLoader prototype to add an additional custom init function right along side of where Squarespace runs their own block init. This assumes you've bound some sort of custom object that holds your init function(s). Sometimes to better to use some sort of custom event emitter for this, but that would be some additional dev. This seems much easier. window.onload = function() { this.AjaxLoader.prototype.initializeSqsBlocks = function () { window.SQS.Lifecycle.init(); console.log( "Foo!" ); window.CUSTOM.YourCustomInitFunction(); } };- 22 replies

This is indeed possible on any template regardless of what some users below are saying. Please clarify whether you need a Gallery Block full-bleed, or a Gallery Collection, and I'll provide the code. Gallery Block is my recommended choice and all that's required to make that full bleed is a few lines of CSS, and selecting a few options in the block.

That's not accurate. Pure CSS will indeed do it. All you have to do is span the Gallery Block to browser width. The CSS required is no more than 5 lines.

How to find which template is being used?
jasonbarone replied to rodvaldr's question in Coding and Customization
Here's a bookmarklet I adapted from someone else awhile ago. Head over to http://squarefront.com/template-info and drag and drop the link to your bookmark bar to create a bookmarklet. -
Hey Greg, I edited the desc slightly. Basically it's a behavior of and Index page with a Gallery as the topmost page, and only one item in the Gallery. I think Bedford style templates also support similar behavior too.

YouTube DOES work though, you just need to set the video parameters manually. I did a write up about this awhile ago: http://squarefront.com/addons/youtube-video-parameters Wistia is still my recommended platform if you're planning on doing lots of video.

Hello everyone, I do not work for Wistia but use that with most commercial projects. Vimeo will work with this method, however they are adamant about NOT given developers access to hide the play button, which makes them not usable for this idea. That's not to say Vimeo wouldn't work with other methods though. Wistia's team also built this responsive, cropping video plugin: http://wistia.com/labs/crop-fill/ which makes it perfect for many great ideas, with little to no coding. The reason I did not suggest Youtube is because it requires playing with all kinds of video parameters.

I noticed this thread surfaced again so I wanted to throw a simple, less technical idea for anyone who's not comfortable with coding. Here's a way to install background video into templates that have "Index" collections (Hudson, Pacific, etc). Index pages normally support Galleries, and if you only use one image/video in a gallery, it will normally span the entire width of the website. Also, Index pages will normally have a feature built-in that lets the navigation stay visible on top of the image/video if the Gallery happens to be the top position. This tutorial plays into that behavior. St

How to implement design interactions on Squarespace?
jasonbarone replied to SquarespaceGuru's question in Coding and Customization
I'm sure it's not exactly the answer you want to hear but this stuff is very easy to do with Javascript, once you learn it. Javascript libraries like jQuery, and even various scrolling plugins (which are just a collection of pre-packaged custom javascript), allow you to do all sorts of interactions based on what's called the "viewport" position. The plain-english translation of the effects are essentially something like this: when THIS element appears between these two locations of the browser viewport, apply this CSS. For example, this illustration from the Skrollr.js library lays out the po -
I've seen this being thrown around as a solution to create a membership site. The only thing I wanted to mention here is that it's worth noting that Sentry will NEVER truly lock your content down because all content put into a Squarespace website is public in nature. There is no secured content. It's likely that non-technical users will never know the difference, so it really depends on the audience. That being said, in my opinion Tinypass.com is cool solution too.

http://knackhq.com is a far better solution and can be styled via CSS.

Mailchimp, although awesome, is slightly confusing to setup properly. Here are a few things that may help: Groups vs Segments vs Merge Fields Groups Groups are Mailchimp's way of creating user-editable interest groups. It's important to note that these Groups are always visible by your user and are not recommended for tracking data that you're not comfortable with your user seeing. Segments Segments are Mailchimp's way of creating internal lists of users based off of active search criteria. A user doesn't necessarily get added to a Segment through a field or opt-in. The user gets added to a

How do I add additional email addresses for eCommerce order notifications?
jasonbarone replied to JH1's topic in Commerce
To do this, you'll want to create additional Squarespace "Contributors" as per this article: http://help.squarespace.com/guides/adding-and-managing-contributors Each user you create will be associated with the email address you used during signup. If you assign the proper contributor permissions these accounts will receive Commerce notifications by default (I think). If not, just login to that user account and turn on the notifications as per this article: http://help.squarespace.com/guides/how-do-i-enable-email-comment-notifications- 2 replies

Summary Block: How can I set the Carousel to "autoplay"?
jasonbarone posted a question in Coding and Customization
I love the new Summary Block carousel. I'm curious if it's possible to "autoplay" the carousel much like galleries can do. I know this is possible using Developer Platform galleries, but would love to be able to use with Block Carousels. -
Creating a pricing table like the Squarespace site?
jasonbarone replied to ste's question in Coding and Customization
I created a CSS addon for any template that will convert Menu Blocks into Price Charts. Try this: http://squarefront.com/addons/price-charts-squarespace-menu-block-version I'm in the process of rewriting a lot of addons, so this is sort of beta, but hopefully it can help. I'm redoing the code to support titles and additional prices. The Menu Block is a bit quirky in how it converts text/numbers into code. Here's an example of one done with Code Blocks. The website template is a prototype for one that will be available for sale at Squarefront.com http://coreviewtech.com/pricing/ Jason Baron -
How do I comment out large chunks of JSON-T code in my template?
jasonbarone replied to jasonbarone's question in Coding and Customization
Thanks, unfortunately this won't work for commenting out JSON-T. The trouble I ran into is commenting out a block of JSON, not necessary text. -
Can I integrate a real estate IDX into a Squarespace site?
jasonbarone replied to drago's question in Coding and Customization
Yes, most IDX systems supports multiple methods of integrating it into any website. It all depends on how clean you want the integration and how much work you want to put into it. The simplest method is going to be using a "Code Block" and placing the IDX system's "iframe" code in there. This is how I've done it for a few of the popular ones. -
I was wondering if it's possible to comment out large chunks of JSON-T code. <!-- Comments like this appear in the HTML, which is not what I want. --> {# Comments like this work great for single lines of text, and don't show up in HTML} Are there any other methods of hiding JSON-T and HTML template code?
