Squarespace Jetpack Alpha
Thursday, July 9, 2009 at 5:15PM [post updated 21:47 PST - see bottom of post]
We've had some really popular posts on iPhone related stuff... But that's not all we're about here at Busted Loop... so, now for something completely different!
Introducing the first public release of The Busted Loop Squarespace Jetpack!
It's a handy widget that pops up in the corner of Firefox that shows you many of the key numbers from your real time stats on the Squarespace management pages. This is the intro post. There's a permenant home page as well.
;)
If you use Squarespace, you're probably addicted to the real time stats like we are. With this widget you can keep an eye on your Squarespace traffic numbers and recent referrers on any page in Firefox with a click of the mouse or a quick keyboard combo (alt-s).
You're going to need the Jetpack Firefox Extension to use this. We think Jetpack is an amazing advancement in extending the browser. This technology makes creating web site specific browser extensions easier than ever. I created this initial release in less than a weekend. It's a bit rough around the edges, but I'm already using it more often than Squarespace itself.
After you've installed the Jetpack Firefox extension, you can go to the page for the Squarespace Jetpack and you should see an "install" button in the top right. Once our Jetpack is installed, go log in as admin at Squarespace (if you're not already) and your stats should start updating!

UPDATE
Speaking of Alpha! We only have the one Squarespace account... and what do you know? It works for us! Come to find out that wasn't the case for anyone else... But I think I have fixed the problem... Now you should see a preference panel where you need to enter your squarespace base URL (i.e. http://bustedloop.com, or http://bustedloop.squarespace.com) then you can hit save and it will work!
I have also fixed a date bug pointed out in the comments by Paul, a performance issue, and I have added an uninstall section to the Jetpack homepage.
If you didn't click the "automatic update" check box when you installed the Squarespace Jetpack, you'll need to go to "about:jetpack" in Firefox and hit the refresh button.
Thanks to everyone who has tried it so far!

Hi Paul.. if you restart firefox do you still have the same problem?
I can't believe I didn't notice the date thing! I'll fix that.
Hi,
I installed the Jetpack and the Squarespace Jetpack, never saw the widget. Uninstalled the Jetpack. Now I have a weird transparent block on my squarespace site and can't access it. How do I uninstall the squarespace jetpack? I'm assuming this is the problem as it's the only thing I've done to it today and it can only be seen on my computer.
Help,
Becks
@Paul - I think I have fixed both those problems! see the update in the post.
@Becks - I think I have fixed your problem too. see the post for details. I have also add uninstall instructions to the Jetpack page.
Thanks for trying it out and finding my bugs!
Thank you for your response. I will try again, first I just need to find out what caused my original problem with my squarespace site.
Thanks again for your prompt assistance.
Becks, it could be the old version of the jetpack.. try doing the uninstall.. then restart the browser.. if squarespace works fine for you after that, try the new version of the jetpack.. I think you'll be good to go.
Looks cool :) What do you have to do to elevate to "trusted" status?
Thanks Stephen!
I don't think it's possible currently... Jetpack is still pretty new... experimental even... So I think that's just a big red warning to let you know that if I was a bad guy you might be in trouble. I didn't even mention it in the article, I'm so used to it now. I better add a note about that...
Looks like new Version of Jetpack has broken this app.
Installed update to Jetpack now Squarespace app will not open.
Did refresh from About:Jetpack page. No help. Restart Firefox and system reboot no help either.
Thanks.
Yeah mine is busted too, I loved it while it worked! Any updates to fix the issue coming out soon?
Great advice and Help. Thank you.
