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.

Say you want to create a search link that sorts by start_date and then, within each date, sort by priority. Not sure there is a way to do this now with search parameters.

Would be useful to continue where a block page leaves off with a search page.

Hello, Does anyone know how to create a homepage takeover ad?

I'm trying to do a minor site redesign for one of our Zen sites(since we can't switch to FLEX yet). And I'd like to see how it looks to drop the right rail from the article pages. There's a custom property article_rail. I've set it to false but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is there something I need to do to make this work?

Is it possible to consider expanding infinite scroll so that when a user gets to the bottom of a story, the next story in the index loads, the URL changes and ad refreshes?

Example -- http://www.espn.com/blog/sec

The current iteration of infinite scroll where it populates related stories is great. We thinking populating new stories would go even further in piling up page views and helping a site recirculation traffic.

I often find myself having to choose a lead photo from the ones our photographer has attached to an asset. However, the previews are tiny when you hover your mouse over them. And even if you open the image asset, you really have to hit the "crop" button to get a larger view. And that just shows you one image at a time.

How about a special button that can open attached child images in a special "grid view" window that will let you see their previews at a larger (adjustable?) size. Bonus points if you can rearrange the children's order from that grid window.

Of course, I'd like to see this both in CMS, but especially in TCMS.

We're in the middle of our transition from Zen to Flex and my biggest complaint is that there is no publicly viewable way for people without a BLOX admin account to preview the new site. The login requirement also makes it harder for us to test it on a multitude of devices.

Now obviously this won't help us since we'll be done with the transition before it could be implemented, but I think a really cool and helpful feature would be the ability to point a sub-domain at the Flex URL map before the switchover, and NOT require an admin login.

For example: http://beta.galvnews.com

Now obviously I can redirect a URL to the appropriate preview URL right now, and have already done so. But the login requiernment prevents us from sharing the preview of the new site with a reader advisory panel or colleagues at a sister paper, etc.

What do y'all think?
