Is there a way to share calendar entries between multiple Blox sites? Is anyone doing this, and how are you going about it? (syndication? jobs?)

I just noticed there's nowhere to add an image(s) to a related content item(like in a "More information" or "If you go" box). There are many instances when our break-out boxes have images. I may be missing something, and if so, please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

I tried adding an <img> tag with the image but BLOX seemed to have stripped that out.

We're having an issue and I'm 99.9% sure it has something to do with Chicago servers. I've pulled up TN sites that use NY servers and they work fine. I can't view any of these:

http://thebrunswicknews.com (our site & the backend)

http://help.bloxcms.com/

http://docs.townnews.com/kbpublisher/

http://www.onidawatchman.com/

http://www.lodinews.com/

http://www.gulfcoastnewstoday.com/

http://www.idahopress.com/

I'm not sure because I can't see which servers they're on but I'd be willing to bet they're all Chicago. This issue isn't limited to us. We've got someone traveling in North Carolina and he can't access our site either.

So I guess this question is: Is anyone else on a Chicago server unable to access any other Chicago servers?

Several of my sites have asked about any future developments in the real estate vertical to include a leads form in their Real Estate vertical. I know that the "Send Email" link displays on featured agents, but would there be a way to make that email link be a lead form like the "Send Email" link on the business directory page itself so that lead could be tracked in the analytics?

We're thinking about completely rebranding our marketplace section. So that would be a huge amount of custom CSS and it would make our site.css heavy and very long. Is there a way to target a different stylesheet for the marketplace section?

I’d like to make a feature request to allow the TotalCMS Asset Manager to place a Collection asset onto an InDesign page.

Collections are the ideal asset type for photo-only “wildart” packages that make it into print and go online.

These typically have either no text or just a short copy block that accompanies a layout dominated by the photographs. As such using an Article Asset to get them online just looks silly and isn’t the most effective presentation tool.

Right now we’re having to create both an article for the print side (making sure it is set to not publish online) and then a Collection for the web. Duplicating our efforts of attaching photos, etc.

This is something we’d utilize multiple times per week and I think would benefit other TotalCMS users as well.

Please let me know what y’all think.

At our December webinar, Jon Winters (BLOX Total CMS product architect) gave an exclusive look at the latest improvements, updates and additions to BLOX Total CMS.

Highlights include:

• New social media broadcast tool lets you post to Facebook and Twitter via your BLOX CMS site.
• Updated depth count displays page previews without trimming and notes.
• Improved organization of agate-based assets within the syndication tool.
• Time-saving updates make print trimming accessible from within the browser interface.

This would allow us to add more of the headline or tagline to our tweet. It will also make the tweet look more authentic on our Twitter feed. BLOX generates decent URLs by default, but they are long for Twitter. Does anyone else find this to be an issue?

We have 2 papers who share Blox TCMS. We would like to have a site tag selection in Blox Go so that articles submitted by reporters that way end up on the correct website. Currently, articles make it into TCMS but won't make their way anywhere onto the web because there's no way to select which site the article belongs on. Or, if articles are submitted in the CMS Blox Go, they aren't available in TCMS for both papers to use.

Is there a way to trigger a second round of Social Broadcasts from the same article?

This would be useful for stories that receive a major update with new information.

Thanks

We'd like to do a "wrap-around" ad for the website that sits behind the main content. For example, the area in this image...

This is very common among websites these days so I think TownNews would definitely be keeping with the current trends by developing this ad position.

Is there a reason for having the timestamp dropdown use EVERY minute of the day when scheduling calendar entries? This is apparent on the front and back end of Blox.

I can't think of an instance that I've ever seen a public event that had any other timestamps than on the hour, 1/2 hour, (or quarter hour.) It's a drag having to scroll up or down through all those minutes to set your event times.

Or am I just off-base here?

What's the correct way to edit the CSS in FLEX and use the "CSS instance" option in the customization options?

Looking to make changes that will affect only one page.

Is there anyway to change/reload the advertising display on a page without a page reload?

I've got a dynamically generate page on our site, in this case a database of restaurant inspections: http://bit.ly/1NNqsHk. The content is update via an ajax call without a page reload. However, while the content updates the ad units obviously don't.

Writing the code to trigger an update via the DFP API looks straight forward, but how that interacts with the various Blox components looks intimidating.

I'm hoping there's a way to do this without getting that far under the hood.

Thanks Much
