As I understand it, Squarespace provides no method to clone a site. Clone means to create a new squarespace site (not re-create ex-squarespace).
My latest project includes creating a 'base site' and then cloning it for different customers (and each clone will have it's own template tweaks, new blogs and calendar, etc), but all the rest of the content will be the same as the original.
I'm figuring that some enterprising developer/firm has solved this problem using scripts, etc. Please help! Or I will need to use Weebly instead, which DOES support cloning sites.
Unfortunately, it's not possible. Here's a similar question on stackoverflow, and an official answer from Squarespace.
I spoke with a Squarespace rep... He explained that it is possible if you follow these steps:
1.) Select the website from your Dashboard that you want to DUPLICATE.
2.) Click on the 3 dots and choose "DUPLICATE WEBSITE."
3.) You will need to invite the future recipient of the new website to be a "Contributor."
4.) Then you may Transfer Ownership to that "Contributor."
Contact Squarespace and describe the above steps and they will help you through it.

I recently created a blog using Hexo and using the Aurora theme. I would like to know how to add the connection with google so that we can leave comments. I haven't found anything on the internet as a plugin or tutorial to implement this
Your request is two-fold:
You want people to have to login using Google to be able to post those comments.
You want the ability to leave comments on your Hexo blog.
Google themselves do not have a commenting service but you can use a number of other services that provide comment functionality for the pages of your blog.
I personally use and recommend Disqus. It's very customisable allowing people to login with a number of different providers depending on the settings you choose. This includes Google login.
But you can allow people to login using Twitter, Facebook and other services to post the comments to your blog. You can see an example of this in action here at the bottom of the post.
There are other options besides Disqus but the Hexo creator himself uses Disqus and most themes come with it built in as standard.
There's even a setting comments in the main config file to enable this.
However if Disqus isn't to your liking you may consider GitTalk and Facebook comments plugins.
It seems your theme only supports Valine and GitTalk as standard so you could use those [by following the instructions given on the themes documentation page.
I wouldn't recommend Valine due to a XSS security vulnerability that's not been fixed so far though.
Implementing Disqus on the theme is very simple and upon sign up all the information and tutorials you would need are provided by them.
I am new to web development so this question might be basic. I was asked to create a photography site in node.js for a friend. I want to create a way for only her to login to the site and fill out forms and update content. Should I put the login link on the main page like other web apps or create a secret route that she can go to and login?
sorry for the newbie question.
I have googled extensively on this subject and even took an online web-developer course. I cant seem to find the answer anywhere.
Google Firebase has some pretty good authentication stuff for applying access controls. It really depends what kind of security you need.
Consider this. Some other user gets a hold of the route that you've provided. Your client's site could be completely sabotaged.
My suggestions is to check out Google Firebase Authentication it will be worth while to know that suite if you are doing independent contracting work.
Helping a friend's company with their website. They have a random bit of code appearing on a bar near the top of what looks to be just on the homepage:
http://snakeoilcocktail.com/
The line is here according to the source:
<div class='dc'>You take that to bank:same day loans. Buy there a atv armor set</div>
I used a plugin to do a String check to find out where the line is but I can't see where it's located to edit it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Looks like there's some malware injected on the site. In the top navigation under "Beverage Catering and Event Mixology" there's what looks like some malicious JS code that's adding a div with a class of "dc". Not sure what your setup is, but I'd advise checking into this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/sucuri-scanner/
It'll tell you if any of the core Wordpress files have been hacked, or if it recognizes any files that aren't part of WP.
They have a free quick scanner, check this out: https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/snakeoilcocktail.com/
Revolution Slider is a big risk :) (Note the comment on Sucuri) It's supposedly been patched but they ran into a huge security issue where thousands of WP sites were infected. Happened to a couple of sites I took over as well - I completely removed it.
In other words, if you have to keep the Revolution Slider plugin, update it ASAP. It introduces a vulnerability that allows hackers to upload arbitrary files to your site - bad news. They often upload something that gives them read access to the wp-config.php file so they can get into the database as well. (http://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/35431/cyber-crime/revslider-plugin-vulnerable.html)
It has to be somewhere! So either one of your plugins is outputting that code or it has been hacked into your theme.
First, try to deactivate all the plugins one after each other to find out if a plugin causes that issue. If that doesn't help, you may need to go through each file in the theme until you found the target. Also notice that the code could look different in a file than the code which you have posted in your question.
Your website must gave been infected with a malware/adware of some sort. This usually happens when you are using a free hosting service. Check whether your friend is using a free hosting service to host his website. Some of those providers inject advertising content into free hosted websites to make revenue.
If this is not the case,
Restore to previous backup
Disable any plug-ins used on the website
Check through the code for any suspicious lines.
Delete all the files on the web server if possible and try re-uploading
the source files.
Migrate to a hosting provider such as goDaddy, AWS etc for security of
your website.
I am learning the html course from the available tutorials on the internet. And with that knowledge I have developed some html files and I believe there is more to go. These files consist of our old school friends and their present condition and what they're doing. I have created a bunch of html files. Like I have created a website for now named as www.mypage.com
Arjun
So in the href I'm just giving the path but those files are in my desktop pc itself. How do I put them on internet and share with my friends who are living somewhere out of this town. I want to reunite all of my school friends using these files. But where do I upload them and make it like a webiste to my friends? Is there any free way to do that? Or any possible way to reach it.
And I'm saying sorry if the question is not for the tag I mentioned. Please let me know and I remove the tag. I don't know what is the link to wikiposts to share my views. If you know then let me see the link. Thank you.
Find a web hosting service (Google knows lots)
Sign up
Follow their instructions
Arjun
And use relative uris
I use http://webhosting.uk.com ... for about £32 a year you get asp.net hosting and access to sql server.
then you simply ftp up to your website something like this (using windows explorer) ....
ftp://mysite.com <-- not a real link
... that would then open up the remote server as if it was a local folder so you could drag and drop your files straight over.
there's an online chat link on the top right of the homepage, the support staff will walk you through getting setup.
don't forget though ... the cost of the domain name that's the bit that turns your server ip address in to stuff like google.co.uk ... I highly recommend them.
I shall just expand on Quentin's answer, because it is clear that you are new.
What you need is a web hosting service. This is a service which hosts your html pages, meaning stores them in their own computers, and also displays them to the world as webpages. Web hosting services are usually paid, but there are some excellent free services if your content is not too big. A simple and free service that I would recommend is Google Sites. You could also try Google App Engine, where you have more freedom and control over your content, but for the same reason it is a little more advanced. But since you are learning html, I believe it is a wise idea to learn more about these services and related concepts.
When you upload your files, the html links need to be changed. They can no longer point to files in your hard drive. When you upload these files, there will be a directory structure in it. All you need to do is place hyperlinks with relative addresses.
And about what your website will be called, www.whatever.com, that is quite another business. For that, you need to register your own domain name, for which you must pay. If you don't want to, then your website will be labelled something under the hosting service domain name. This forum is not adequate to go into a more elaborate explanation of all this, but I think I have mentioned all the key terms, so do some research!
How can I update a web page remotely? Is there a web service or can I do it via email, I have no direct access to the server.
We simply need to add an alert facility in an emergency. For example simple text message across the top of the home page saying "We are shut today due to bad weather".
Thanks
I can't tell that I catch what you mean, but I will answer in general manner
1- if you are building the whole site from scratch: You can create your site by any CMS like dotNetNuke or joomla which will allow you to login and edit what you want
2- if you are building just this page from scratch : You can build your page with online-editing in mind, in this case I recommend to build two pages one for for viewing content and the other for online-editing you can use any HTML-Editor control like FCKEditor
3- if you are dealing with already built page : it will be easier to build administration page which you can upload the new version of the content page to it, and the administration page take care of replacing the content page
hope this can help you, if not, please feel free to clear your needs so we can help more
Contact the host server company you have your DNS/Host service/name resolution with and ask them to redirect the DNS calls to another server of your choice with the notice you wish to have people see when they try to access your page.
On a general basis, yes it's possible, that's what most blog engines and CMS are for. It's also fairly easy to develop an ad-hoc program if all you need is to be able to put an offline page.
If what you mean however is you need to do today witout any access to the server, contacting the person hosting your site or your DNS are indeed your best chances.
I'd suggest getting someone to put a twitter widget on the page, then you can sms/email or use a web browser to send your updates and they will automatically appear on the site.
Is it at all possible for you get someone to do that for you? Twittercard can be used to generate the code to drop in.
It looks like this thread is a bit dated, but for anyone still looking for a way to update your site using email, you might want to check out https://www.sitemailcms.com/. It's a service I've developed to do just that.
