Replace Escape key login with Admin quick access

For those who don’t know, escape key login allows you to access your Squarespace admin dashboard while viewing your website, this feature has been disabled from January 9, 2024.

This is understandable action, as it can make new visitors confused when they accidentally pressing Esc and be redirected to Login page, but some site owners will miss it, as it allows quickly access the editor of the site and start editting right away.

Therefore I have upgraded my script Admin Quick Access to replace Squarespace escape key login feature, allow quick access the Squarespace editor when viewing your website

Introduction

The plugin now works in 2 modes: dashboard and frontend, while I have a detailed post on how the dashboard mode looks. Here is the screenshot on the frontend mode

Admin Quick access on frontend mode

The frontend mode will be triggered when you are viewing your own website, so logged out users or you visitors won’t see this toolbar.

Toolbar Features

1. Home button: will quickly redirect you to /config page

2. Edit page: help you land on the pages list with the current url displayed in preview frame

3. Code Injection: navigate to code injection panel

4. Custom css: navigate to custom css panel

5. Site Styles: navigate to site styles screen with current url in preview frame

How to use

Making you are using the lastest snippet on Admin Quick access and copy it into your Footer injection. Once install, you can see a small arrow on top left of screen on both admin dashboard and in logged in website.
