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.

When I share an image collection from our site to facebook - the post does not pull any image assets or even our logo into the post. When I share an article and individual images it works fine. See my screen shot of the two posts. The top is an image asset, the bottom post is a collection. We try to use collection assets throughout our site. It would be nice if the sharing of collections displayed consistently with the other types of assets.

We have several publications, both online and in print. If we want to post the same story in two places online, it's no problem: Add another section tag, and the story appears on both sites (and redirects to the main story). Print is a different issue. Stories often are duplicated for print because headline space or story lengths are different.

So two possible solutions: Optional trims and headline fields for secondary and tertiary publications so everything stays in one file in TCMS. Then someone would have to figure out Or group those stories together in TCMS so copies have a child-like relationship to the parent — they're grouped in searches, and the "parent" or main story is always on top; the copies are listed below. Those copies aren't (OK, shouldn't be) published online. But it's easy to edit a headline on a copy, thinking you have the "real" story.

We relate funeral home marketplace listings to our obituary article assets. The business is related as a parent to the article.

The obituaries display with the businesses marketplace under the news tab, but they display with the oldest listing first. Is there a way to have the news articles display in order from newest to oldest?

Is there any way to use broadcast for calendar events? It lets me choose the calendar sections but since the events aren't in editorial assets I can't actually use it. When I go to them in community/calendar there is no broadcast option under the other tab.

This would be very beneficial to get the word out about events, so we'd like it added as a feature request.

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!

Has anything been built to integrate the Chartbeat dashboard with the Blox or TCMS dashboard?

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.

The list of what can be used as a sibling asset is too limited. Link, HTML and YouTube assets, for example, are excluded, but shouldn't be. We have HTML assets and YouTube assets that are story — stories are more than text these days.

Anyone else? (Bonus if they're more than headlines, but there are rumors that that's already in the works.)

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...

Is there an easy way to add instory ads with DFP for Flex?

Hi there, Google is officially launching its Accelerated Mobile Pages project today (to read more: https://backchannel.com/google-is-going-to-speed-up-the-web-is-this-good-a92a6043598b#.5wr1t0kdr ). Regardless of how we feel about the technology, newsroom executives are going to want us to start coding in that way, or feed pages into a code generator. Does TownNews have any plans regarding AMP that you can share with us?

I've tried this on both Zen and Flex. Selecting the Facebook (share) button on an asset launches Facebook in my browser on my iPhone.

Is it possible the Facebook button can recognize my Facebook mobile app instead? The Twitter (share) button does. I think on Android a user is given the option to continue in the browser or launch their Facebook app. Or is this just me and I'm late to the party? Is it up to the individual user?

I would think this would improve the mobile experience for many users--making it fast and efficient to share content. On mobile--I hit the login option to Facebook and abandoned my attempt to share.
