Logo loading screen - code adjustment please

rdreed · October 30, 2019

Hi everyone,

I bought a plugin from Squarestud.io and it appears that they dont respond to anyone's emails/facebook/instagram - I assume they have gone bust. Anyway, I need to tweak the plugin and I am not very good at .js and would appreciate some help.

The plugin is a logo loading screen using the site's logo. I am wanting to replace the image source (the existing site logo) with a gif that is stored in the site's CSS stored files - URL below.

Any help is really really really appreciated.

Thank you,

Rob

@tuanphan You've already helped me massively, I was wondering If I could ask for your expertise again? Do you think it is possible for this loading page animation to only run when landing on the homepage and (like presently) not when landing on every page?

tuanphan · October 30, 2019

@rdreed Try

Style & Script code: Page Settings > Advanced > Insert the code to Header

And insert this code to bottom of page (you can use Markdown Block or Code Block to insert)

<div class="logoload"></div>

CSS stored files

Hey @tuanphan ! This is super helpful! I am attempting almost the same thing, but instead of inserting a gif as the image source, I want to insert the logo. I just need a loading page with a white background and black logo. Since The logo is stored on my computer and doesn't have a URL is there a way to upload my logo to squarespace and give it a url? I saw above Rdreed mentioned that his gif was "stored in the site's CSS stored files".

Would appreciate any help you can give me! Thank you :)

victpo · June 6, 2020

@erinm892 you just have to upload the file to the CUSTOM CSS section under the DESIGN menu. There's an option to upload a file, and you click on it, and it should give you a Squarespace URL for it, as per the screenshot below. Once you upload the file, just click on it and the URL will appear on the code window. Just copy it, and there you have it!

victpo · June 6, 2020

Hey @tuanphan, you're a life saver! While the screen is loading, I noticed the user can scroll down and up. Is it possible to disable scrolling during the time this loading screen is shown? I'm using it as a GIF animation intro to my page, so I don't want them to be able to scroll while it loads.

Add to Page Settings > Advanced > Header

<script>
$(window).load(function() {
    $('body').css('overflow', 'hidden');
    setTimeout( function() {
        $('body').css('overflow', 'initial');
    }, 5000);
});
</script>

This thread is super useful. Thank you!! @victpo was @tuanphan's code successful for you? When I try to insert it in Code Injection of the page, this doesn't work for me. Any luck on your end?

Take care

Try new code

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(window).load(function() {
    $('body').css('overflow', 'hidden');
    setTimeout( function() {
        $('body').css('overflow', 'initial');
    }, 5000);
});
</script>

TOMweb · November 2, 2020

Still no luck for me. Here is the code I already have. I am adding your suggestion at the end but it doesn't work yet... Any idea? Thank you @tuanphan

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="logoload"></div>
<style>
.logoload {
  /* SET BACKGROUND COLOR */
  background-color: #E8E5DD;
  /* SET BACKGROUND SIZE */
  background-size: 30vh;
  position: fixed;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  z-index: 9999;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-image: url("https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f0cd7575142de45f1d531a7/t/5f9ea63342433c0d82131eb5/1604232763290/animation_640_kgz2q4of.gif");
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() {
    $(".logoload").delay(2500).fadeOut("slow");
})
</script>

Hi Tuanphan,

This thread has helped immensely, I'm currently attempting to do the same thing with a gif animation. I'm using the following code and there are a few things that I was hoping to do that I can't seem to adjust:

1. Ensure that the gif animation loads as a full screen animation (to the edges of the browser)
2. Only appears when user clicks on the home page

Draft Site URL:

https://tangerine-iguana-kwg3.squarespace.com/

Password: MaintainS134!

This is the code I'm currently using,

Thanks a lot in advance!

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="logoload"></div>
<style>
.logoload {
  /* SET BACKGROUND COLOR */
  background-color: #fff;
  /* SET BACKGROUND SIZE */
  background-size: 1400px;
  position: fixed;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  z-index: 9999;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-image: url("https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f7cd6783ecb9850af2831b0/t/5fa032da8b26421e8cfcaf85/1604334299026/Header_Web_Gif.gif");
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() {
    $(".logoload").delay(4500).fadeOut("slow");
})
</script>

Hi, you can replace the loader circle by simply replacing the file you can get from here http://icons8.com/preloaders

I don't know if you've solved this yet but you need to add the code to your homepage header

Pages > Gear Icon > Advanced > Add there .

This will ensure it loads only on the homepage.

@tuanphan Hey Tuan, thanks for helping us all.

I have the preloader and I'd like to make it responsive on mobile. I've tried to add a media query but it doesn't do what I thought it would. This is the active code on my site. I am using Brine and it is in the Advanced panel of the Index Settings. I hope I can get your help, thanks!

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="logoload"></div>

<style>
.logoload {
  /* SET BACKGROUND COLOR */
  background-color: #fff;
  /* SET BACKGROUND SIZE */
  background-size: 600px;
  position: fixed;
  left: 0px;
  top: 0px;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  z-index: 9999;
  background-position: center;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-image: url("https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5fd687dc674bc6778f41a678/t/60275afab391045d0b964861/1613191930385/sigh+copy.gif");
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() {
    $(".logoload").delay(5000).fadeOut("slow");
})
</script>

<script>
$(window).load(function() {
    $('body').css('overflow', 'hidden');
    setTimeout( function() {
        $('body').css('overflow', 'initial');
    }, 5000);
});
</script>
