I'm slowly working through this with my town news contact but it seems like it will be more complicated and I might need to reach out to a third party company.

I'm trying to create a couple podcasts with some students and the level of detail required in the XML is far too much for the currect town news "audio asset" option.

Is it possible to add a Podcast asset with all the specific podcast details Apple and Stitcher require?

Here is an example of a video podcast's RSS XML.

I'm trying to upload some Flash graphics but when I create the Flash asset, I can only see a 600x400(ish) portion of the graphic ... anybody know of any way to make the viewing area larger?

I've got a Business card: Grid(FLEX) set as Display mode: Slideshow and Columns: 2. All is good on Large breakpoint. On Medium and Small it goes to 4 columns. On Extra-Small it goes to 1 column. I understand Extra-Small going to 1 column because it's so small. But Medium and Small should still obey the column layout setting, right? Is this a bug or is it intentional?

We've got an issue on all three of our sites that happens when you click a child photo in a story. When you click the first one, it brings up the bigger gallery page with the second selected. When you click the second, the first opens. And this happens no matter how many photos you have in a story. Here's a graphic, because why not...

So does anyone else have the problem?

Has anyone added a "Facebook Pixel" to their BLOX site?

It is election season which means we are running a bunch of stories with multiple politician mugshots attached.

Someone pointed out that we may have a potential problem when Facebook displays only one of these on the article preview. As I’m sure you all know, somebody out there is going to take that as us favoring one candidate over the other.

Is there an easy way to prevent Facebook from pulling a child image in a case like this, or make it use the default logo instead?

Any thoughts anyone has are definitely appreciated.

This one looks like a bug to me.

On a Collection Asset, Series style, long headlines are being clipped when there is plenty of space to display the whole thing.

Is this somehow intended behavior?

We have several HMTL assets that could benefit from using the location feature. Is this something that could be added?

The block template called "Calendar: Event list (flex)" has a bug and displays "12 am" for the "time" rather than "all day" as it does on the asset detail page.

I can't tell you how many times I've designed a form that I want live but hidden on the "Site Forms' page. Not every form needs to be listed there. We can send links to the people who we actually want to fill out the forms. It would also enable us to test forms without the general public knowing they exist. And you may think "Nobody will ever go to the site forms page and see this form" but people always seem to find the areas of our site we never expect them to find.

As the form manager is now we have the option to "Disable." I would like to see an option "Hide" which would just hide the form's existence from the "Site Forms" page.

When we embed a video by first linking to it as an asset on our Town News site and then placing it on an article as a child asset, do the views count in YouTube?

I've been fooling with this all morning. I'll paste a link in and it gives me either our logo(which is set as the og_image on our site). I deleted that from the back-end because I never want that to show. Then it gives me the second child image. I want the first. So I set the second to "Do not publish" just to test it. THEN it shows the first child image. For crying out loud, why is this? And I'm not talking about an image the size of a fav icon. These images are in the range of 1296x864+. I know Facebook is particular about the size of the images. So it seems like for whatever reason Facebook only sees one image.

Here's one of the pages that refuses to display an image for Facebook: http://www.coastalillustrated.com/columns/community_notes/article_1f806700-eab3-11e5-b9ad-1b2a31f86771.html

Absolutely nothing comes up on Facebook for that one. Is it some way BLOX is displaying the images that prevents Facebook from seeing them? Are we doing something wrong?

I've read the BLOX documentation page and all it lists are the custom properties. These are URL custom properties but am I supposed to set it for ALL urls? Do I give the property og_image a value? The documentation says nothing about giving it a value. But all of the custom properties I know in BLOX have some sort of value.

Hi there,

We've had a sporadic problem where, in an article without an added image, Facebook is pulling in random images when users share a story (generally starting with a mugshot of the supervising editor or the author, because those are the largest images on a page). We have the Facebook og:image set to be just a plain Missourian logo, but it seems the sharing function is ignoring that altogether.

Has anyone run into this problem, and if so how did you go about resolving it?

Within a few FLEX blocks' template customizations there is an option for "Infinity scroll." I looked on here and help.bloxcms.com and there's nothing about the infinity scroll. I've tested it but can't get it to do anything. Is that feature live yet?
