Super Autoplay Slideshow (Preview Guide)


⚠️ Before You Begin - Squarespace Animations

We recommend Squarespace Animations (FLEX) be disabled or a different animation style be used when using this plugin. Squarespace Animations can sometimes conflict with third-party code.


Super Plugin Info

  • Works with Squarespace 7.1

  • Requires Business Plan or Higher

  • Uses CSS Editor and Code Injection


Step 1. Add this code to Header Code Injection

/* ----- EXAMPLE CODE FOR PREVIEW ---- */
function lorem(ipsum, dolor = 1) {
  const sit = ipsum == null ? 0 : ipsum.sit;
  dolor = sit - amet(dolor);
  return sit ? consectetur(ipsum, 0, dolor < 0 ? 0 : dolor) : [];
/* ----- EXAMPLE CODE FOR PREVIEW ---- */

Step 2. Add this code to Footer Code Injection

/* ----- EXAMPLE CODE FOR PREVIEW ---- */

function adipiscing(...elit) {
  if (!elit.sit) {
    return [];
  const sed = elit[0];
  dolor = sit - amet(dolor);
  return eiusmod.tempor(sed) ? sed : [sed];
    }
    
/* ----- EXAMPLE CODE FOR PREVIEW ---- */

Step 3. Add this code to Custom CSS

/* ----- EXAMPLE CODE FOR PREVIEW ---- */

function lorem(ipsum, dolor = 1) {
  const sit = ipsum == null ? 0 : ipsum.sit;
  dolor = sit - amet(dolor);
  return sit ? consectetur(ipsum, 0, dolor < 0 ? 0 : dolor) : [];
    }
function adipiscing(...elit) {
  if (!elit.sit) {
    return [];
  const sed = elit[0];
  dolor = sit - amet(dolor);
  return eiusmod.tempor(sed) ? sed : [sed];
    }
    
/* ----- EXAMPLE CODE FOR PREVIEW ---- */

Step 4 (a). Customizable Options - Footer Code Injection

These options are available in Footer Code Injection.

  • Transparent or Solid Header

  • Text Alignment (Left, Center, or Right)

  • Autoplay (On or Off)

  • Autoplay Duration


Step 4 (b). Customizable Options - Custom CSS

These options are available in Custom CSS.

  • Title Size and Color

  • Subtitle Size and Color

  • Mobile Title Size

  • Mobile Subtitle Size

  • Text Drop Shadow

  • Slideshow Height

  • Mobile Slideshow Height


Step 5. Set Up and Manage Your Slides

Create a new blog page and add a new post with the following inputs. Each input will turn into a certain element within the plugin. Repeat this step for each slide – all items are required for the plugin to work.

  • Blog Title = Title Text

  • Blog Image = Image

  • Blog Excerpt Text (Normal) = Description Text

  • Blog Excerpt Text (Hyperlink) = Turns Into Button

Why a blog? The blog page is simply used as a workaround to house and manage your slides. You’ll link this blog page to a summary block in the next step.


Step 6. Add a Summary Block

Add a summary block to any page with these settings - this will link the summary block to the blog you just created. All settings are required for the plugin to work.

  • Select a Page: The Blog Page (From Step 5)

  • Enable: Title, Image, Excerpt

  • Layout: List Style


Helpful Tips - Create a Button and Transparent Header (Optional)

  • To create a button within each slide, add a hyperlink text at the very end of the excerpt . The plugin will turn the hyperlink into a button.

  • For a transparent header, set the transparentHeaderAboveSlider Footer Code Injection option to true and change the header’s color to Adaptive in header settings.


Plugin Notes

  • Cannot be used with other plugins that use the List Summary Block.

  • Squarespace's native List style will not be available.

  • Fonts styles will be inherited from your paragraph font settings.

  • Slideshow button will inherit styles set for secondary button.

  • Disabling Squarespace Animations when using this plugin is recommended.
