I managed to write a code using Jquery. It's not to most elegant way, basically its made to click the next arrow in the slideshow every couple of seconds:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
const init = () => {
setInterval(() => {
$('.gallery-reel-control [aria-label="Next Slide"]').trigger('click');
}, 6000); // change this value to change the speed
}
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', init);
</script>
You can insert this into Code Injection or in to the Advanced section of the specific page the Slideshow is on.
I haven't tested if this works on any other gallery types by the way.
I agree the fading transition is too abrupt. I've tried the Custom CSS tweaks mentioned above but it doesn't consistently work. Sometimes the slower fade transition occurs but at random times it just changes images without a fade transition at all which isn't good enough.
This is the first time I've evaluated using SS for a site build but because of this I won't be using it for the next site I'm going to be working on.
Hopefully this issue is addressed in future.
Original post in 2014:
Sometimes you just want one of your contributors to be able to add a table so that they can add some data, like a league table to a page or a post.
Squarespace usually make complex things seem simple (adding images to Galleries for example) but the simple task of adding a table in Squarespace is so challenging!
Yes, I know I can add a code block and add some HTML code to create the table. That's fine for me, but my clients don't want to learn HTML - they just want to edit a table like they would in any other application like MS Word - 'Create Table'.
I'm still hoping Squarespace will address this soon so we don't have to use online HTML table tools.
Update in 2024:
It is now 10 years later (yes that's not a typo... ten years later!! ⏳) and there isn't a Squarespace Table Block built-in yet. ☹️
The good news is that Michael (Squarewebsites) built a Table Block plugin.
(These are affiliate links for products I use and love. If you make a purchase I may receive a tiny commission.)
This plugin adds a Table Block to Squarespace (both 7.0 and 7.1), allowing you to create and edit tables on the page with ease. You don't need to know any HTML table code, and it can automatically pull your table data from a Google Sheet, making it easier for clients to update their tables using a familiar tool!
