I was manually sending AP assets to the web and found myself having to open them all to make sure they hadn't already been given a site tag. We do this every day and it finally occurred to me what would make it a much simpler process.

It would be nice to have a separate column for the presence of a site tag just like we have a "Sections" columns for section tags. Even a little box like this...

At our December 2016 customer webinar, Brad Ward, TownNews.com's CEO, will share our 2017 Products & Services Roadmap. He'll highlight recent changes and give you a sneak peek at the exciting innovations that are in the works for BLOX CMS, BLOX Total CMS, TownNews.com iQ, the Content Exchange and more.

Big things are coming in 2017! Join us on December 8th at 10:30 AM CST to learn more.

Would it be possible to consider moving or adding the start/date time field to the workflow tab in an asset? That way a reporter or editor could more easily be reminded of changing the start date/time when they change the workflow, particularly when it's time for something to be published on the site.

Has anyone used the creative templates that Town News provides in DFP? We cannot get them to work. http://help.bloxcms.com/app/dfp_flex_templates/. If someone has one working, can you send me a link to check it out?

Any way to enable hotlinks in our tagline? Would like to have the ability to have our taglines read similar to:

Thanks!

We've had a number of problems with our website loading since we migrated to FLEX. Specifically the issues come from viewing the e-edition on Safari mainly on the iPhone, but not always. I get calls at least once a week about this. You can see the problem in the image below. Someone from Town News told me to have the subscribers clear their cache. That typically works but on this non-mobile device it didn't. I submitted a ticket and am waiting to hear back.

One time on my phone even the regular website displayed code as if it wasn't loading the CSS. I had to clear my cache for it to work.

So do any of you FLEX users have this problem?

where can i see example of a TownNews site using content exchange?

Thanks for the addition!

Posted a TN Ticket, but added here as well and in case anyone else has the same question.

I have a question about the "jobs" feature in the Application settings (via the top-right gear in Blox) in the Classifieds application. One option is "Blox Classifieds Standard XML job"

Since XML can be many standards and formats, is there any idea on which format is expected? I couldn't find anything so far.

We embed videos on article pages via a tool from Inform, our video vendor. The PerfectPixel tool has three positions available -- numbered 1-3 -- in the default Flex templates.

(http://help.bloxcms.com/knowledge-base/integrations/video/article_69cd682c-18ee-11e5-9dfb-4bdf1d789ed9.html)

Both positions 1 and 2 are stacked at the top of the body text, below the social media sharing buttons. The position is responsive, so the width adjusts with the body text when related assets are attached to the story. But having them stacked is redundant.

It would be nice if Position 1 was higher on the page to allow for a larger video, even when related assets are used. Currently, there's not a way to show a PerfectPixel video wider than 490px -- the width of the body text -- on a page with related assets.

Proposal: Putting the Position 1 div in the wider space below the byline would allow for larger video playback on article pages. And gives editors three distinct positions to choose from on the page.

Moving the div higher would cause the video to compete with a child photo asset attached to the story. But editors would be able to manage whether a video or photo was the dominant visual on the page.

My boss is interested in having a bar (dismissable) at the bottom of our pages, similar to what The Guardian does, that would ask for donations to our endowment. You can take a look at their logic by going to https://www.theguardian.com/us or in the screenshot that I'm adding below -- the aqua-colored bar goes to a donation page. I would assume other papers could use this for subscriptions as well as donations. Just wondering if there's existing logic that could be used to create this, or if it's something that would have to be built separately.

If we enable it and find out something unexpected that we don't like about it, how long does it take to disable. I know there's a disable function in BLOX. Just curious how long it takes from that point for AMP to actually stop. Thanks,

In a situation where we'd like to give a subscriber extra concurrent logins (overriding the global limit), it would be nice to be able to limit them by IP address. For example, we'd like to give a school media center 10 concurrent logins, but limit them to the media center's IP address.

How many ads do y'all include on your AMP pages? Is there a min or max? Curious to see what people's experiences are with it.
