Ian, this doesn't get you to exactly what you want, but we've got a custom comments block that allows readers to see the latest comments across the site:
It sounds like this could work. Most of our collections are related to specific events and not things that are continuously updated past a day or two. So for us using the slug (with * wildcard) as the filter will be crucial. But I could see this expanding our options and potentially allowing for other uses we haven't thought of yet.
1. Good
2. For all our existing uses we'd want oldest first, with new things added to the end, telling the story of an event chronologically as a users scrolls through.
4. Always good, but how does that look in the back end? Would you be able to see all the assets that fit the criteria in the BLOX Editorial editor?
6. Being able to define a specific teaser would be good.
We'd probably be OK with the upper limit on standard galleries. There are only a handful of times we've gone over 100.
In contradiction to your last thought, we'd probably use the dynamic galleries for "short, specific stories that should be closed after a time" since the main reason we want them is to auto-populate during big hectic events.
What about an option to convert from Dynamic to Standard later on? For instance we create a dynamic gallery at the start of the hurricane/flood/shooting event so it can go live immediately and be automatically populated with images as photographers transmit remotely. Then once the event is over we want to freeze it as-is and insure that we don't accidentally have new, unrelated images get added based on the filters we selected (e.g. reuse of a keyword)?
Thanks Joe. Welcome aboard and I'm glad to see you active on the community here as I've been catching up on old posts today.
Sounds like a good feature addition to me.
I'm on 2.22.1-1 and the appliance reports no available updates (beta or general). TCMS interface is still on the old style BLOX interface, not the updated one.
Searching release notes on help.bloxcms.com show no newer releases:
Yes 100%. Correct past dates but don't spoil future schedules.
NICE! I can't wait for this (Reset start time) to come to Total CMS. I've been wanting this feature for a while now.
We purchased Flowpaper to build e-Editions in this style for now, and it works OK, but being able to do this natively would still be preferred.
We ended up adding margins to our InDesign documents several years back specifically for this reason.

Just ask support. Town News built it for us as part of the transition from Zen to Flex templates a few years back. Our readers freaked out when they initially lost that functionality from the old site.
