When you are looking in the admin under Design/Blocks, you will see a URL with a little clock next to it under any URL that has a schedule, and the look of that page is the one being used during the scheduled times. For example, we have a schedule on our homepage at the moment because we have some blocks that we want people to see for the Olympics.

The scheduled times are found at the bottom of the Design/Blocks below the URL map and the Blocks themselves.

Do you have an alternate page layout scheduled for the weekends? That's the only way I can think of to temporarily change a page layout.

 I think you may have a typo in your style for the byline. When you inspect the element, the style is showing as

.tnt-byline {

color: #000000;

!important: ;

}

I think you need to remove the ; after the hex color value.

I don't believe there is a block like that. However, you can achieve that same look by applying a custom CSS class to a block (at the bottom of the appearance tab) then editing the css.utl template to set up the styles to make it look like that. For example, you could use a Card: Grid with the Display Mode set to Grid and the Columns set to 1. Then make the styles for the custom class something like:

width: 300px;

height: 450px;

overflow: scroll;

That would give you a scrolling block similar to the one on that page.

    I'm not aware of any page customization or setting that would let you change the styling of the bylines.

    I can think of a couple of ways that you can change it. The best way would be to edit the  css.utl in your site's  templates and create a style for your bylines. This would make the change everywhere on your site for old and new articles, and it would make it easy to change the color at any time in the future.

    The other way, would be to edit they bylines in your user accounts to include a <span> tag around the byline with either a class or style= with the color you want. (Example: <span class="purple-font">Maureen Reinert | Web Developer</span> ) The biggest downside to this is it will only apply when you add the byline to a new article. Old ones would still have the bylines without any styling.


    You can setup Fotomoto to allow photos to be automatically approved or you can set it up to require confirmation from you before the order proceeds. The only thing is that if someone orders a photo that they shouldn't have been allowed to, you will be charged the Fotomoto transaction fee even though you will be canceling the order and refunding the customer's money.

    The service that TN partners with is Fotomoto. We've been using them for about a year now, and they seem to do a good job. We've had internal people order from them and they've been happy with the quality, and they fill the orders quickly. I've also had to contact Fotomoto support, and they've been quick respond to my questions/issues.

    There are 3 different plans and which plan you pick determines the transaction fee that gets deducted from your sale

    • Free plan  ($0/mo + 22% transaction fee)
    • Pro plan  ($10/mo + 12% transaction fee)
    • Pro Plus plan ($25/mo + 10% transaction fee)

    We're on the free plan. You can see the descriptions of each plan at https://www.fotomoto.com/home/pricing

    You pick which products you want to offer and what the price is for each.

    Because TN has partnered with them, they can automatically be set up to automatically pick up the hi-res version of the photo when someone orders it. However you need to go through TN to do the initial set up to take advantage of this.

    There's more information in the TN help https://help.bloxcms.com/knowledge-base/applications/editorial/assets/faq/blox-photo-sales-with-fotomoto-onboarding/article_92e2f4ec-7e39-11ea-9dc8-c31bf63b68ab.html

    We haven't done anything with bring the sponsored content inline.


    You should be getting an email from Sally Reynolds. She's the person who manages our digital advertising and is the one to talk to about our strategies and scheduling and things like that.

    Hope this helps.

    I can tell you how we have our sponsored content set to display on our https://lancasteronline.com/ site.

    One objective we had was to include the sponsored content in the flow of regular news to hopefully get more eyes on it. We have 5 spots scattered  in the main grid on the homepage where sponsored content can appear. Obviously, not all of them are filled every day with sold content. When they aren't filled, the grid is all regular news content or we use them for our own marketing pieces.


    The sponsored pieces are all labeled sponsored and stay in position for 24 hours while the regular content flows through the grid. We can set the sponsored content to repeat, so it could be set to show on Monday, Wednesday and Friday for example or every Tuesday for 4 weeks or just once and done.

    All of this is done with a couple of blocks (one customized) and a couple of custom properties set on the articles to control the number of times the article is shown. We added those custom properties because we didn't want to force the need to keep updating the start time of an article, but we did want to offer the sponsors the option of buying more than just one day on the homepage.

    If you want to know more about the sales/advertising of our sponsored content, I can put you in touch with someone here about that.
