We needed an employee to have access to the subscriptions area of the site and it makes sense to also give that person access to users/accounts. Access to subscriptions is fine but to get access to users/accounts you have to be a manager. And as a manager you can do just about anything you want on the site. That's a HUGE gap in privilege.

Is there some way to allow someone to change user info without giving them the ability to move template blocks around, run jobs and change workflows?

I think a good way to approach this would be to create a "Circulation" or "User management" access level. This would give them the ability to start online subscriptions, access transactions and change user account info.

I’m curious why Collection assets are missing, among others, the Centerpiece flag?

Very often a Collection (Wildart Package, Enterprise package, etc.) will be the Centerpiece of our printed paper and thus we’d like it to be the Centerpiece of our website as well.

How difficult would it be to add this flag to Collections?

We are struggling with our RSS queries, because we use sort by priorities on our site - and would like our app to reflect much of the same. In applying the parameter to sort by 'priority', and then by date (for at least two day's worth, because we don't do a Sunday paper) it doesn't seem to be recognizing the stories with priorities set. Anyone have any expertise with search queries?

We have five ads in our leaderboard-middle region. One ad was from April 7-10 and needed 14,000 impressions. It got 4,000. Does the system not know to give the others less priority on those days to achieve the impressions of the limited run?

I put the 14k impressions in the "Total limit." Does that mean the system won't try to deliver 14k but that's just the max it can get? So "Total limit" is a limit and not a goal?

Currently, the publish time on article detail pages, for example, is displaying a mix of ways:

• Updated 21 hours ago (but no reference to the original publish time of day)
• 1 hour ago (but no reference to the original publish time--even thought it was only an hour ago)
• March 14, 2016 (but no reference to the original publish time of day)

For a reader's reference we need it to display more like on Zen:

Posted: Monday, March 14, 2016 3:30 p.m. | Updated: 3:40 p.m., Mon Mar 14, 2016

Maybe not exactly like so, but with more detail like so.

Is anyone familiar with how this is modified?

And just a side note: I've always wanted to have the ability to change "Posted:" to "Published:" site wide. It would help change the culture in our newsroom. When I can I remind staff that we publish to digital products just like we do to a newspaper page. We post our published content to social media.

Any plans for a Town News-Slack integration? For example, a bot that would post a note when a new article asset was published.

Are there any plans for an auto-save feature inside the BLOX article asset editor?

I cannot seem to approve businesses, I have a list of businesses that are waiting approval and I cannot seem to accept or deny.

We just launched our Town News site and we are in the process of learning all of the features and ad options available to us. We wanted to know if any other customers would be willing to share their digital rate cards so that we can see what others are doing with TN's capabilities.

Is there a way to assign a preview image to an Article Asset (which would show up on main site index pages) without assigning a child image asset?

Or alternatively, can I assign a child image asset for purposes of giving the article this preview, but not have the image show up on the article?

We’re doing a very graphically driven (charts) one-page special series and for the sack of load times I’m building them in HTML. My plan is to simply create an article asset and then use the HTML view to craft everything. They will have an image that I’ll pull in through the HTML.

I’d like to use that image as a preview for the article so it’ll show up on our main news index and our front page slideshow. Is there anyway to accomplish this?

Thanks

It would be great to have the ability to select the "content" for the Utility: Recent Comments template for Flex. Or could there be a version of the template or a setting that makes it dynamic?

For example, I'd like to display the five most recent comments to our Sports section content. Not the five most recent comments site wide.

Just a question ... If I change the name of a section in the back end of Blox, will it wipe out all the content that was there.

Example: We have a section called "Entertainment." We are thinking "Features" would be more accurate and we could shuffle a couple of other things underneath it. Its been my experience in the past that changing the name wipes it out... Is this still the case.

When users contribute an article, they can make the text they create bold or italic. They cannot link to stories on the site or to other sites. I want to allow users to include links in their content. I've submitted a feature request; any help to make it a reality is appreciated!

We have many events that require advance reservations, but there is really no defined way in a calendar asset to display the RSVP date. We can use a RSVP flag - but it doesn't provide the RSVP date. We can add the RSVP date in the copy, but it is lost and events are displayed based off of the start time.

Are there any suggestion as to how events that have RSVP dates can be handled?

It would be great if there was some way to have a field of data for an RSVP date - and if this field of data was filled in this date would display in place of the actual event start date.

We've got a BLOX form on our site that our ad department would like to be a landing page. Is that possible in BLOX? Or maybe a splash page like this...
