    paul2009 got a reaction from cleverbirdycreative in 7.1 - How do I add ical and "add to google calendar" links to Events Page   
    In Squarespace 7.1, the links can be added to the main Events page, but not to individual events.
    To add the calendar links to the Events page:
    Preview the main Events page showing all the events Click EDIT in the top-left corner of the preview.  Hover over the events section and click "Edit Section" or the pencil icon. Toggle the Show Export Links option on. Hover over DONE and click Save.

    paul2009 got a reaction from PixelSoda in Why 48–72 Hrs for DNS update?   
    As I mentioned above, with some pre-planning it is possible to speed up website transfers.
    The way to do this is to tweak the DNS records for your domain several days before the planned migration.
    To explain, each DNS record has a TTL (Time to Live) value that specifies, in seconds, how long Internet Service Provider (ISP) should remember the DNS record before checking if the record has been updated. I'm simplifying here, but this is roughly what happens! Imagine that a customer checked your site 8 hours ago. If the TTL value was set to 86,400 seconds (24 hours) then their ISP will happily carry on using the website details that they used last time around, even if the website has been moved to a new provider. This means they'll see the old site and continue to see if for some hours/days to come. Only when the TTL has expired (after 86,400 seconds!) will their ISP check if the details have changed. Again, I'm simplifying to avoid a 4-page explanation, but this is roughly what happens. 
    Domain name providers want you to have a high TTL setting (or long caching time) because it is much faster for every internet user to check the "cache" than it is to do a full lookup on a DNS server where the records are stored and edited. This greatly reduces internet traffic, gives a faster experience and saves the DNS hosting company money.
    Of course the problem with having a high TTL setting is that if your ISP has already cached the current (old) IP address of your website, it won’t check for a DNS update for your domain until the TTL has passed, even if you've just updated the DNS records to point to a new website.
    So the trick is to reduce the TTL of each DNS record (those that will change) to say 300 seconds (5 minutes) and to do this several days before you start the transfer. In fact, if the TTL is set to 24 hours, it should be at least three days beforehand. And when you have completed the changeover by editing the A and CNAME records to point to the new website, don't forget to change the TTL back to a more reasonable setting.

    This is how the internet works. It isn’t specific to Squarespace. When you change a DNS record, that change is only made on your domain name host. From there, it needs to propagate across the internet to every other DNS server where your domain name is recorded. This ‘propagation’ process copies details from server to server so that everyone on the internet can find your website. The process should complete in a couple of hours but you should allow up to 72 hours before reporting issues, because it can take this long. There are ways to speed up the process but it involves pre-planning; if you are ready to go live now, these steps won’t help you.

    paul2009 got a reaction from annie_mwm in How do I remove previous / next links in the new Squarespace 7.1 blog posts?   
    It should be possible to remove the pagination by adding this to Custom CSS:
    section.item-pagination.item-pagination--prev-next {   display: none; } If you find that it doesn't, please provide a working link to the page on your site.

    paul2009 got a reaction from NOTCHDITA in EU Cookie Banner   
    I think you may have misunderstood what the free tool was telling you.
    If a real visitor chooses to reject cookies in a Cookie Script banner, the product will actively block them. The product can scan the site for all the cookies being used - including Squarespace Analytics cookies - and can block them if a visitor asks to do so. 
    In contrast, the reporting tool you mentioned needs to download all the cookies from a site, otherwise it could not categorise and report on them. It therefore accepts all cookies from a site, regardless of the cookie manager that is installed and working on that site. 
    I hope this helps.

    paul2009 reacted to cstorry in Is customizing "Continue Shopping" button working   
    Just in case someone finds this in the future - squarespace support responded very quickly indicating this is a known issue and provided a work-around (until a fix is in place).
    Currently we are experiencing an issue with not being able to choose a destination for the continue shopping link if the destination page is under a folder. We’ve noted your report with our Engineering and Design teams for review. They’ll use this for creating fixes and improvements for future releases. 
     
    For now, you may need to move the page you wish to link to outside of the folder it is in. This should allow you to link to it from the "Continue Shopping" link. 
    I tried the suggested workaround and it works!

    This text only appears when an add to cart button is clicked on the Product List Page. There isn't a feature that allows you to customise it, so you'd need to write some custom JavaScript to modify it.

    paul2009 got a reaction from mattrum in Moving Post from one blog to another on same site   
    If you've created a second Blog page, you can move items from one blog to the other as follows:
    In the Home Menu, click Pages. In the Pages panel, select the page containing the content you're moving. Press and hold Shift and click the item or items you want to move. In the action bar at the bottom of the panel, click Move. The Move button only shows if you have at least one other pageof the same type. In the Select Destination Collection window, select the page where the content will go. Click Move Items. The select and move options might look different depending on the page type. For more information see: Moving collection items between pages.

    paul2009 got a reaction from Jennifer43254 in Embedded Code Block not visible on live site   
    The code appears to have been added three times, so if you've added it to the per-page injection and the site injection and the code block, you'll want to remove two of them.
    After doing that, you should be able to make the remaining trust badge visible by adding this to Design > Custom CSS:
    #cbBadge { z-index: 12; } This is necessary as the embedded code is using the same class as a built-in Squarespace class, causing the badge to be hidden in a layer underneath the header content.

    paul2009 got a reaction from Mitchell87632 in How to make images in list section clickable?   
    Take a look at the solution I published here: Make Squarespace list items clickable.
    This takes the link that you've assigned to each CTA button and applies it to the entire list item. This means that users can click the image or any other aspect of an item to trigger the CTA action.

    Many thanks, Paul2009. I have disabled the Ajax Loading, as the most suitable work-around for now; I do not suspect that OpenTable will re-write its code to function alongside Ajax Loading. With the AL disabled, the issue has now been resolved. Thank you for your assistance.

    paul2009 got a reaction from smith4743 in WHY does my form now say "required" and not the asterisk???   
    The change from "*" to "(required)" is part of the Form Block update, currently being rolled out to all sites.
    Have you checked the Language & Region settings on your sites (in Settings > Language & Region > Region) to check they are correctly configured for French?

    If you're looking for a CSS solution to restore the asterisk on form titles, please try this:
    /* Hide required on field titles Tip by sf.digital */ .form-wrapper .react-form-contents .field-list .title .required, .form-wrapper .react-form-contents .field-list .fields .description.required { visibility: hidden; } .form-wrapper .react-form-contents .field-list .title .required:before, .form-wrapper .react-form-contents .field-list .fields .description.required:before { visibility: visible; content: "*"; font-size: 1.5em; line-height: 1em; } .form-wrapper .react-form-contents--submitted .required:before { visibility: hidden!important; } Let me know how you get on.

    Your CSS will work if you place it in Design > Custom CSS (without the style tags). This is supported on all website billing plans, including the Personal Plan. However, you cannot "inject" code in the Personal Plan, so you won't be able to add CSS to individual pages using page injection or using the header/footer injection options.
