Can you provide any more information about this? If you could submit a support ticket or provide your domain we can look into the issue. Speaking at the platform level, we have not done anything that should impact image quality downstream. When these types of issues crop up, they are generally related to an image being resized heavily by CSS instead of being generated at the necessary size by our image proxy system.

So if you could either submit a ticket and reference this community post, or reply with your domain name and an example that would be awesome!

Thanks,

Skye, your ticket had to do with a customization you had for a page title text macro that was bleeding thru to some javascript functions. We've made the change to fix this for your site.

Eric,

This would be a fairly easy feature to add to a block if you wanted a custom version of one. Or it could be done globally via javascript for the full page.

If you wanted to pursue that for your site, just reach out to our CS team.

Erik, you just need to submit a ticket to customer service and indicate what you'd like to do.

The way that block for them works is that it's a block like any other, where you simply have assets displayed with the preview image. So it's just using the regular article and does require there be an image. 

If all of that work, just submit that ticket with the detail that you want to duplicate what was done for them and you should be good to go.

Jenna,

Yes! We have a built in NITF feed for newsbank and work with them for a lot of our customers. Just submit a Customer Service ticket and we can get that set up for you.

Jim,

There is a user permission that controls who can create keywords. You can look at the group that reporters are in under the Users admin -> Settings panel. Open the group. If you look at permissions, you can add a new one under Editorial -> Assets -> Create Keyword Tags. They need to have that access in order to create new ones.


Otherwise they can only use pre-defined keywords (which can help control keyword spam and typos). The keywords list is maintained in Site Settings in the main blox menu. Then look for keywords. Reach out to our CS team if you need further help with this.


Thanks,

David,

You can use bootstrap 3 visibility classes (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/css/#helper-classes). You can place these classes in the "CSS Classes" field at the bottom of the "appearance" tab in the Design/Blocks application.

If you have anyone on staff that is template certified, you can certainly build your own Datatables functionality into some custom blocks, which would then output a standard blox table asset into a more "optimized" presentation.

That would also allow you to not iframe in the content.

you can do even more with table assets if you get a bit creative. Here are some examples I've put together over time that use some other visualizations (chart.js) and some basic bootstrap styling.

Folks, just another quick question since we've been discussing this internally. Does the breaking news block at the top of this page fill the need well enough?

It's not the old school marque effect, but it slides nicely from asset to asset.
