We'd love for y'all to consider a more intuitive BLOX interface (selfishly speaking b/c I"m sure our workflow is different from others) …

-- the ability to search for a story, drop it into a block and re-order the items in the block w/o having to open multiple tabs/individual blocks.

-- Also, could related stories we drag into an asset show up in a related box underneath the centerpiece when the asset is put in that block? Right now we have to manually define centerpiece related stories.

-- Would also be helpful to 'link' block to one another so a story can seamlessly flow from one block to another on a page.

Right now when we change centerpiece story, for example, we have to change the CP, then move that CP'd story -- which is still being widely-read -- into another prominent block on the page.

We would use these features VERY often.

Is there a way to add more than one picture per article without them showing up in a gallery like view. For example, is there a way to have one image a the top of the story and another one midway through?

Allow users to upload multiple photos at once via the BLOX user dashboard.

We'd love to explore the ability of creating an RSS feed based on a block or specific blocks' content, rather than keywords/section tags/etc.

This would give us more control over RSS feeds we want to use for our apps. Right now it's very difficult to curate our feeds with the best content we have on our apps.

For example, to stipulate what we want the lead story to be on our apps we have to give the story a keyword and make sure the story has the most recent start date/time compared to all other assets previously using that keyword. Sometimes we want to lead with a story that wasn't published in last hour or so.

I've uploaded a video several times to BLOX but I can't seem to get it to play on Chrome. I get this error: "The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support."

It's an mp4 exported with Adobe Premiere using h264. I can't even play it in TCMS.

Has anyone else every seen this error?

Is it possible to change to the HTML 5 version of Flowplayer? If so, will it support pre-roll ads we create through BLOX?

Just curious about this app. I didn't realize it existed until reading about it in another post here.

It doesn't look like there are many publications available in it and it keeps crashing on me when trying to switch to View Page mode.

At our July customer webinar, Christine Masters, director of product management, highlighted insider tips and techniques to help make your BLOX CMS site faster than ever.

Highlights include:

• Understanding the need for speed and how TownNews.com's Flex Templates can help reduce load times.

• Evaluating ads, third-party add-ons and other factors that can slow down your site.

• Creating page size & load time budgets to help you stay on track when designing pages and adding new content.

• Future upgrades to rendering, CSS and much more!

Is there an option to allow visitors to submit an event without log in?

Also, the newspaper logo at the top is not clickabkle and the nav doesn't work. This is reproduceable. I don't think this is a TownNews issue, but has anyone has a similiar issue?

It only happens when you go to the website from an icon made on the start screen of an iPhone. I have not tried Android yet.

My paper recently went through the FLEX redesign process and is now moving closer to creating a mobile application. We use the TownNews metering platform with a five story limit per 30 days. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find a company that can create a mobile app that will play nice with the metering. Basically, I'd want subscriptions created on the app to translate to our website and vice versa. It would essentially mean having a shared customer database between the two platforms. Does anyone have a setup similar to the one I desire? I would greatly appreciate any information on the matter.

Hey folks, hoping this is an easy one. Is there a way in Statistics to see:

What percentage of our online readers are logged in?

What percentage have an active subscription?

Thanks!

We can set online forms to charge taxes but I can't find anything about adding taxes to subscriptions through Community/Subscription. Is there a way to do this?

We sell photo prints through MyCapture, it's pretty popular. However, under the Flex templates, we cannot restrict the images that it offers for sale.

There are times where we don't allow the sale of a photo, such as photos of accidents or photos of gallery art. Also, we are not allowed to sell AP photos for licensing reasons.

Right now, it's either all or nothing. Ideally, we would want a way to flag certain photos or sections with a "not for sale" sort of tag that MyCapture would honor.
