Is there no way to allow a reader to write-in an answer to a poll question? 

This is now becoming a huge week-long issue from a customer service aspect.  I would like for TownNews staff to provide an update on the repairs with an estimated time of repair, and I would like to know if this issue stems from a Blox update, or an iOS issue.  

Issue: weather data on our TownNews sites differ from forecasts we publish over the air in our newscasts. That is because the weather data in TownNews is not connected to the data we create and use for our on-air product through Baron (or WSI).

Solution: allow for the integration of weather data from the provider or our choice.  Both WSI and Baron offer API access. 

Why: allowing for the integration of weather data from Baron and/or WSI would allow for consistency across all of our platforms. The end result is less confusion among our viewers and users. 

We're looking into the TownNews Blox NOW app and are wondering if anyone has any pros/cons with their experience. And if you could tell me what your app name is so I could download it and check it out.

Is it possible to exclude page wrappers from our analytics? We use a third party for our obits, and don't need analytics on the page wrappers.

Has anyone ever used webhooks in Blox? Specifically, to update their database?  We use Airtable to store our data and would like to setup a webhook/ zaiper to update and create new records from data collected via forms and other means. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

At the end of October 2020 all my Admin users were forced to change their password, and it came rather abruptly with no real explanation as to why this took place, nor was there any forewarning that made this seem like a planned feature update.  Was there a data breach of some sort?  

I'd like to start using Email Reach at 2 of our properties as a test for the market. Competing papers already use a similar service.

My concern is whether we will take on any additional cost for activating this feature. Is this something we are already paying for? If so, how to I turn the feature on? I've followed the tutorial video and cannot find an Email Reach option in BloxCMS.

Thanks for your help.

Given the movement on the web to support newer image format, please add SVG as an image asset "version" to both TotalCMS and BLOX, see: https://caniuse.com/svg-img for details.

Given the scalable nature of SVG images they work much better for logos and info-graphics than other formats.

Would is be possible to add an option to unpublish an asset on a given date so that an item can be automatically taken down without it being deleted?

Thanks

Anyone have creative/useful ideas for accepting and displaying community submissions? Content from a local author, press release or (legacy) calendar events? 

Is the PR Newswire concept (unlimited press releases for a monthly fee) dead in the water? 

How do you decide what sections a user can apply to their submission? 

Would it be possible to have a Blox window column to indicate what kind and/or how many child assets are currently attached to an article asset?

This would be a HUGE time-saver, especially with an aggressive push with video and collections - we wouldn't have to necessarily open (and tie up) articles just to make sure we remembered to attach that video/collection/etc.

When an article has multiple mugshots -- often two or more people running for office, or two or more people charged with a crime -- it would be helpful if Blox had a simple way to turn those multiple photo assets into a single teaser image. Here's an example. Currently we're using a separate photo editing software, slowing the process.

Sent in a ticket for this, but I wanted to also hit up the Community to see if anyone else has seen this:

I need help fixing a feed or article component problem. We are seeing errors when our articles show up in Google Alerts and I am wondering if it is just a scraping glitch or if we have our feeds set up improperly.

• Weather information in place of Article Preview.
• Photo Asset names in place of Article Titles
  
• The Menu Bar text in place of Article Preview

Seem familiar to anyone?
