dhob Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hi @creedon - Odd. I no longer see it. Are we on the same site? https://sf.digital/squarespace-extensions Link to comment
creedon Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 @dhobman Almost the same page. I looked at the link I posted previously which is the product detail page. On the product index page you posted I can also see product listed. paul2009 1 Find my contributions useful? Please like, upvote, mark my answer as the best ( solution ), and see my profile.

dhob Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Hi @creedon and @paul2009 - My apologies. It was right in front of my face, and I didn't see it. My bad! I hope to get this as soon as it's released. paul2009 and creedon 2 Link to comment
dhob Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hello @paul2009, @creedon, and @tuanphan, You three obviously know a lot more about customizing a 7.1 Squarespace site than I do. I'm still stuck without a solution to Squarespace's removal of Pagination. While I'm not excited about this option, I'm wondering if I can just deal with this manually. I can easily create functional links in a format like "< Previous | Next >" within the text for a Product in a Store, but I can't figure out how to get that text into the space that was previously occupied by the automated Pagination system text. Do you know how I could get it into the right space? I've created a picture of what I'm aiming for here... Link to comment

dhob Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) 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.

dhob Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited December 9, 2021 by dhob CaptainBarnacles 1 Link to comment
dhob Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 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 CaptainBarnacles 1 Link to comment
conversiontracking Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) 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.

Guest Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 On 1/24/2022 at 4:36 PM, codeandtonic said: For lazy people – plugin available I've also coded a Squarespace 7.1 Pagination plugin. It's a quick, lazy & easy way to get pagination navigation back. A few minutes and one copy-paste. The code stuff was beyond me (I thought there was no longer a "developer mode" in the new 7.1 version) but your plugin seemed to work here. A little frustrated that the next/prev links were removed since I like 7.1 a more than 7.0 in almost every way. Feels like new features are be added there and 7.0 will probably just stay like it is now. But I'm pretty sure most visitors won't have the patience to go back and forth to the product grid and a product and then back. It's so much more effort than just clicking "next". Link to comment
